Origin: Spirits of the Past (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]







Origin: Spirits of the Past (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Overview


The rebirth of the past from the ashes of the future ....

A young boy named Agito enters a forbidden sanctuary where a glowing machine resides. This machine preserves a young girl named Toola, who has a mission entrusted by her from the past. Three-hundred years into the future, the Earth's environment has been ruined by the interference of mankind, and in between the 300 years, the forest has come to life and is at constant war with man. It is an unsteady peace in an unnatural time. Only by searching their souls and examining the past will Toola & Agito realize the origin of all things and unite mankind with the forest.

Outstanding animation and a compelling environmental message make Origin: Spirits of the Past an above-average anime feature, especially for younger viewers. Despite an abundance of elements that many anime fans will find familiar, Origin distinguishes itself with a story that lends itself (like many anime features) to a variety of spectacular settings. As the fairy-tale story begins, it's been 300 years since terrible events left civilization in ruins. Now, in a post-apocalyptic setting where the crumbling remains of vast cities lie in close proximity to the encroaching forest, humans live on both sides of a brewing conflict. For young Agito, the son of an aging hero, life is relatively peaceful in Neutral City, a community built within the ruins of a once-major city. But when he wanders into a forbidden zone of the forest, where plant-like "druids" protect their world from outsiders, he discovers a cryogenic stasis tube containing Toola, a girl who's been resting in stasis for 300 years. Her father had been in charge of the "Earth Rejuvenation Project" that led to a technological disaster, and her emerging friendship with Agito is threatened when they find themselves on opposing sides of an ideological conflict, and Agito must save Toola from her potentially destructive convictions. He does so by becoming "enhanced"--essentially melding his human form with the forest, aligning himself with the powerful forces of nature. As a colorful mixture of science fiction and "green-friendly" adventure, Origin has a lot to say about preserving our planet in the era of global warming, and it's a visual treat from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon

If the movie Princess Mononoke turn out like this rather than looking just as nice. As some of the Japanese anime film of this mystical hold a series of shades to protect and honor the power of nature and the destructiveness of man, if not careful, the animation series and the soundtrack is also very reminiscent of Princess Mononoke , which fits well together. The item is about to launch something you have to decide for themselves, I am a big fan of veryFormer ADV Films and Funimation released anime, so I hear, these individuals and used actresses'm established and their characters fit very well, but he could see what decision or short scenes of the film for themselves, but As expected, the Japanese cast is splendid in their roles. This set contains two DVDs of the film is obviously the first and the second contains the bonus, the TV spots, comments and actor, trailers, and the birth of film, Isuspect a lot of people like me do not really is not difficult, but still very nice for the price less. So if you have the movie Princess Mononoke have here another great movie, add your Anime Library ....

Shinobi - Heart Under Blade (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Specifications


Equal parts Romeo and Juliet and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shinobi offers breathtaking cinematography, appealing actors, and ninjas. What more could a movie fan ask for? Released in 2005, Shinobi is set in 17th century Japan, which is dominated by two powerful clans. Oboro is a member of the Iga clan, while her lover Gennosuke is the son of the leader of the Koga clan. Both groups are comprised of expert ninjas who have developed skills unknown to most mortals. When Oboro and Gennosuke meet, they are unaware that by their birthrights, they are meant to hate--not love--each other. When the nefarious Shogun--eager to increase his own power by doing away with both clans--announces that each faction will send in five ninjas to fight to the death, Oboro and Gennosuke are sent in to battle against each other for the honor of their clans. Filled with action (including some computer-generated images to enhance the actors' warrior-like qualities) and romance, Shinobi has the makings of a sweeping epic. Though based on an anime series, the film succeeds as a stand-alone piece of work. Beautifully filmed and well-acted, the film is exciting and heartbreaking, and the viewer senses both hope and doom all the way through the finale. --Jae-Ha Kim

In 80 years I grew up hooked on Ninja FAD. I have seen all the movies I ninja cheese in the video store and Sho Kosugi see, was my idol. Also, I enjoy watching still struggle Arts / Ninja movies now as when I was a child. Shinobi heart under blade fits right in typical ninja movie. basic premise, make sure the two ninja clans in the 17th Century in Japan each choose their top 5 fighters to appease the other in a race to compete for the Emperor. Aappreciate this movie you need to understand that the Japanese code of honor is very strict. If that means killing your lover, to appease the emperor, so be it. Obviously, the focus of the story (no pun intended) is a typical ratio of Romeo and Juliet, but honestly, that's not why people watch movies Ninja! You want cool martial arts moves much to see and kill. Shinobi heart under blade offers almost everything you want, just not enough. My thoughts;

Pro
a - many ninjas with all their unique special abilities / skills they differentiate.

- Adheres Story to traditional Japanese beliefs in the code of honor and the Emperor is close to God

- Beautiful cinematography.

- Great battle scenes (although too short).


Cons

- Almost all the five selected by each clan ninja dies so quickly that many dead cheap and very unsatisfactory. A huge loss in historyhonest.

- Absolutely no background story on one of ninja skills, training or education. Only slight mention.

- The action sequences are extremely scarce. Spend too much time focusing on the love story, like battle sequences, which I think is what most people want to see the film to see.

- Master of both clans must fight to the death, but there is absolutely no scene like this in the film. Very disappointing!
