Origin - Spirits of the Past
I dont know how this movie was able to stay under the radar. Its an anime that crosses final fantasy with miyazaki films. It really was an incredible watch and it just showed up on hulu. Free to watch. I love the internet. I never would have heard of this movie without it.
