I was so looking forward to hopefully being able to buy this film in an eBay auction, and was absolutely delighted to do so. As, soon as it arrived I watched the film the same day, and from the powerful and beautifully animated opening credits, with evocative music and stirring imagery, I knew I was going to be in for a treat. This film has excellent post apocalyptic and environmental themes that infuse it with a sense of drama and excitement, as soon as you've watched fifteen minutes you'll be hooked to the very end. The tag line on the cover says 'the most impressive looking anime movie to come out since Steamboy' and I'm inclined to agree. The film is beautifully rendered and the animation is lush and detailed. If you like ghibli and more modern manga and anime then this film will be right up your street. This film is superbly dubbed into English and you get none of that cheesy dubbing from past anime films i've seen. The story was reminiscent of 'Nausicaa' in places, what with the forest fighting back, but it comes from a genetic modification angle, that ties the film into advances in science since that film and the perceived dangers associated with them. At just under 90 minutes this film is a perfect length and will easily keep your attention for the duration. A top anime film that comes highly recommended. Origin is a fantastically beautiful blend of traditional and CG animation. It is crystal sharp with vivid colour and tonal range, with solid blacks and subtle shading that shows off the care and detail the makers put into the film. We appear to be given the original Japanese presentation, complete with Japanese credits! The audio is good, and while not spectacular, it is well-balanced and generally solid. A decent English dub track is provided along with the Japanese original (with optional English-translation subtitles). A subtitled making-of and batch of trailers complete the package. Overall, origin spirits of the past is a good, solid film that is easily worth every pence that you pay if you mamage to win it in auction, and the entire family, of all ages will discover that they like in this brilliant Japanese anime film.Read full review
