Yuri got this DVD for his birthday but I only had a chance to watch it yesterday. Origin: Spirits of the Past is a beautiful animation which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. True, the plot and imagery are “on loan” from Miyazaki’s works, especially Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke. Does it matter? Surely it does, but to me Sugiyama’s tribute to Miyazaki looks more interesting than Miyazaki quoting himself. The opening theme is sung by Kokia.
