TO

The stunning visual look of this pair of anime films from director Fumihiko Sori — created using stop motion anime — is unlike just about any other anime out there today. And that’s a good thing, even if it takes a bit of getting used to, especially the lifeless look of the characters eyes. Thankfully, the stories are strong and the voice-acting spot on. The first movie, Elliptical Orbit is an adventure about galactic terrorists trying to destroy the world’s energy supplies. The second, Symbiotic Planet, is the story of two star-crossed lovers whose romance is played out against the background of a planet-wide plague. They’re both good.
