Origin: Spirits of the Past is a 2006 anime film produced by GONZO. It is directed by Keiichi Sugiyama and written by Nana Shiina and Naoko Kakimoto from a story by Umanosuke Iida. The film was released on January 7, 2006.Set in the 24th century, Agitonote no, not that one (Ryo Katsuji) awakens Toola (Aoi Miyazaki) from cryogenic sleep. Toola has some adjusting to do, as a science experiment Gone Horribly Wrong has left the moon a bit less intact than it used to be, has turned plants into destructive forces of nature, and has made water a bit scarce. As she's attempting to adjust to her new life, Shunack (Kenichi Endō), another former cryogenic sleeper, arrives.Shunack informs Toola that there's a way to return things to the way they were before. Toola, not coping with the murderous forest and other changes well, agrees to leave with him. Agito doesn't think this is a good idea, and the forest and its representatives agree with him. Agito is enhanced with some of the forest's energy so he can stand up to Shunack and the legion of soldiers and Humongous Mecha under his command. As this goes on Toola starts seeing glimpses of just how militant Shunack can be, and starts to figure out that putting things back to "normal" is going to cause a lot more destruction than she thought.The film also stars Yūko Kotegawa as Yolda, Masaru Hamaguchi as Cain, Toshikazu Fukawa as Hajan and Ren Ōsugi as Agashi. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie: Shunack causing the disaster that wiped out most of the moon is what caused him to obtain his forest powers and eventually turn into a tree thanks to Agito. | |

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: The Forest and Ragna, though which side is which is complicated. On the one hand, there's the whole nature vs. science thing; on the other, Ragna and especially Shunack are obsessed with the past while the Forest is a genetically engineered Hive Mind of plants (possibly a biotech Posthuman) that brought down the old order. | |

The Empire | |
| Origin: Spirits of the Past / int_556a4e20 | comment |
The Empire: Everything about Ragna screams this trope, from their blood red armor to their Humongous Mecha to their heavily industrialized, military society. However, they're far from Always Chaotic Evil, and some of its citizens trade with Neutral City. For the most part, they're generally decent people trying to live independently from the Forest, which they see as a monstrous, tyrannical entity (even though it is not portrayed as such). | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Origin: Spirits of the Past / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: The conflict between Ragna and the Forest ultimately turns out to be this. Ragna is a seemingly anti-environmental ruthless empire, but they first-and-foremost only want to live independantly from the Forest and avert the Always Chaotic Evil trope as they don't mind trading with Neutral City. On the other hand, the altered "eco-system" of the Earth looks like a sentient, animalistic, mass-murdering, force of literal nature that demands that its protectors be turned into trees. However, it's still capable to coexist with humans. It is explained by Yolda to Toola that Neutral City is meant to be both a "bridge and a barrier" between the two extremes. | |

| Origin: Spirits of the Past / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: Shunack becomes one to the Ragna Army, particularly Jessica. They respected him as a commander who uphold the ideals of destroying the forest that plagued the Earth. However, they begin to question their loyalty to Shunack when he abandons them to focus on using E.S.T.O.C. and help Agito stop his plan. | |

Audience Surrogate | |
| Origin: Spirits of the Past / int_8ace85ef | comment |
Audience Surrogate: Toola and Schunack are the only characters from the past, and thus have much more in common with real life viewers than other characters. Their bafflement, sorrow, disgust etc. for the setting is likely to be what audience reaction would be. Agreement with the later, even though he is the Big Bad, is intended so one can see how, in this hypothetical situation, he can be mistaken. | |

Mystical White Hair: White hair is a sign that someone has become "enhanced" by the Forest, granting their tremendous boosts to their physical ability. Agito, though it's not much of a spoiler since his hair is showed white in the advertisements for the movie... and is also the Japanese title. Gin-iro no Kami no Agito, lit. "Silver-haired Agito".

Creepy Twins: The twin forest spirits, and especially the one with the high, squeaky voice, certainly evoke a classic Fair Folk vibe. | |

Science Is Bad | |
| Origin: Spirits of the Past / int_f68664dc | comment |
Science Is Bad: While this seems to be the case, given what happened in the film's backstory, it is not really the case at all. Genetic tampering led to plants destroying the world but this was due to one person's impatience in overstimulating the genes involved. Science led to the creation of a volcanic superweapon but the danger of this weapon is acknowledged by its creator, which is why he put in so many safeguards to prevent its misuse. Toola discarding her future necklace phone at the end is portrayed as a good thing because it is symbolic of her letting go of her past and embracing her new life. The fact that the necklace is high-tech is incidental. The wise plants are indicated to be good, and they are the product of science too. Furthermore, any "technology is bad" message is undermined by the fact that Neutral City citizens are reliant on mining equipment and use old world supplies and Ragna can only survive in the desert thanks to water-extraction technology. | |

Artistic License – Physics: At the end of the volcano scene mentioned above, Agito jumps off the side of the mountain with Toola and both of them fall a good thousand feet. The landing actually kicks up a plume of dirt. Both are totally fine. Now, even if Agito is a silver-haired superman Toola is just a normal human and the sudden stop should have snapped her neck. | |

Stronger with Age: Hajan is one of the silver-haired superhumans and he demonstrates that all his old age has done is taught him to better handle all that power. Towards the end of the film, Hajan punches a falling boulder in mid-air and destroys it before it can hit Neutral City. | |
