Line #9 YMMV/OriginSpiritsOfThePast


1	* AssPull: [[spoiler:After Agito becomes a tree, he is reborn from a fruit dangling from some said tree, clothes and all. While it makes thematic sense, this ability was not hinted at.]]
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
3	** The movie's theme song "With Reflection" is gorgeous. The full name is Chouwa Oto ~With Reflection~, and it's by KOKIA, a prominent name in anime music (the artist did a wonderful cover of "Desperado" by Music/TheEagles). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_dtrZXmfBQ Here's an obligatory link to the original.]]
4	** The ending piece "Ai no Melody" (lit. "Melody of Love") is a beautiful, glorious mix of awesome which manages to be both a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Crowning Music of Heartwarming]] ''and'' a TearJerker.
5	* ClicheStorm: Almost all the reviews, both good and bad, noted that the movie's main flaw was that it stormed all the tropes and Aesops made famous by Creator/StudioGhibli and played them straight, making it look like an unoriginal mix of ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' and ''Anime/PrincessMononoke''. Additional flaws, like the movie's tiring pacing and lack of character development, only added to it.
6	* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler: Schunack talks of "wiping the slate clean" in regards to humanity and keeps a firm hold on Toola even after she has served her purpose with the Raban. It is frightful to consider what he planned to do to her after he killed all the other humans. Was he planning on repopulating the earth?]]
7	* MemeticMutation: '''[[SayMyName TOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]'''
8	* MoralEventHorizon: At first, Shunack may appear to be a WellIntentionedExtremist and some people could sympathize (or even agree) with his ideal of bringing back the old civilization and his desire to undo his mistakes, even though it means destroying the Forest. [[spoiler:Then he reveals that he intends to use E.S.T.O.C. to destroy Neutral City as well, simply out of spite. That decision shows that he has [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]], no matter how much well-intentioned he used to be.]]
9	* {{Narm}}: The walking volcano, in all its glorious implausibility.
10	* SignatureScene: The opening sequence showing the genetically altered plants taking over and destroying the moon before reaching the Earth is fondly remembered for its great animation and SilenceIsGolden execution. For some people it's also the JustHereForGodzilla and don't bother sitting through the rest of the film due to its unenthusiastic reception deeming that the story doesn't live up to such strong beginning.
11	* SpecialEffectFailure: Many forest monsters are made with very unconvincing CGI.
12	* StrawmanHasAPoint: While Shunack is a WellIntentionedExtremist who wishes to undo the damages done to Earth [[spoiler:and correct his mistake]], he's still supposed to be in the wrong as he advocates for dangerous and extremist measures. However, some fans end up siding with his cause, arguing that it would be a good thing to destroy the Forest based on BlueAndOrangeMorality.
