300 years into the future, Earth’s environment has changed dramatically due to extensive genetic experimentation. Trees have undergone genetic mutation and have gained consciousness. They have spread throughout the planet and have wiped out much of modern civilization. Known as the Forest, the living trees are ruled by tree-like druids who control the water supply of both trees and humans. (more below)
Agito is a young boy living in Neutral City. While out playing with a friend, he stumbles upon Toola, a sleeping young girl kept alive by a machine for the past 300 years. Waking to discover the world overrun by trees, Toola then reveals that it was her father who was responsible for the experimentation on trees.
Shunack, a soldier also awakened from his sleep, joins Toola on her quest to retrieve the hidden weapon Estoc to restore Earth to how it was before the living trees. Agito follows them as he believes there is a way to maintain balance between the humans and the Forest.
Join Toola, Shunack and Agito on their perilous quest in Origin – Spirits of the Past only on Animax.
