Gin-iro no kami no Agito

Somehow i begun viewing this anime with a feeling of deja seen ... Hopefully somehow i was wrong ... The anime is really good even if the plot seems like an old plate out of the fridge and heated again it still holds something that few anime could be proud to have one of those is the charisma behind Agito the main character don't be prepared for a Miyazaki and at the end you will be facing something worth of his talent. Even if it's not the anime of the year nor even the best story, it's still a treasure worth to watch. There is a whole world to discover, and you take pleasure to discover it viewing pictures that stay in your memory.

I found this film stetically nice, and the first minutes you get inmersed into a weird post-apocalyptic plot that makes you wonder what happened to the world, i spent half of the film just wondering stuff until i found that questions were already solved in the most simplistic and not inmersing way. Conversations are a total cliche the whole film, the character and story development is extremely poor so when the main "emotional" moment comes in, you can do nothing but raise an eyebrow. Personally i found the singing in the main track annoying and distracting and the only thing i can highlight about this film is the colorfulness and the (kind of) main plot.

As many agree, Origin is a beautiful anime artistically. The music, graphics, and the world created are gorgeous and it really stands above most other modern animated works. However, if you are looking for more than this, than I suggest looking else where. The beauty stops short of its appearance, and when it really comes down to plot and characters, there's nothing special. Action is slow and minimal and the people are flat, corny at times, and do not act realistically. Not to mention the plot hole here and the plot hole there... So, in summary, oh my goodness, I've never seen an anime as beautiful as this one; and oh my goodness, it's like... -poke- people don't act like that. It took a GIANT step forward in graphics and music in anime, but it also took a few step backs to times of bad characterization, and unfortunately, there's not even that much action to make up for that...

I loved this film!!! I'm very into dsytopian themed films; animated, anime, or whatever. There is nothing wrong with using anime to bring to the forefront what we are doing to our planet, which will in turn, be harmful to us. I found myself going "ahhh" while watching and struck by the depth of the messages. I cant wait to tell my grandson about how good it is.

The animation and basic plot are both excellent. The animation is detailed and well done, and the plot is unique and interesting.

Unfortunately the follow-through leaves much to be desired. Aside from nonsensical jump-the-shark moments (not all that uncommon in anime plots), the ending is anti-climactic and empty. It leaves the audience scratching our heads as to what actually happened and just guessing at what the blazes the writers and directors had in mind.

The majority of the film is basically just non-stop action / adventure, with a decent enough story to keep it going. But it loses the air of believable on several occasions (no matter how fanciful, a story still needs to have an element of "believable" within context). The closer it gets to the end, the less sense it makes, with an unrewarding, flops-flat ending.

This could have been a lot better if they'd tied up the end better, but someone got lazy or ran out of funds, one of the two. Overall this is unimpressive. It simply failed to deliver the full package. Yet another example of a great idea poorly implemented and ruined with a sloppy ending.
