Ooyukiumi no Kaina: Hoshi no Kenja

Two lesser-known films that both have a lot in common, including: -occur in a fantasy world where water is scarce -idea of trees being the source of life -themes of humans vs nature & environmentalism -villains who are far more technologically advanced than the protagonists -boy and girl from two different worlds who are romantically attracted to one another -lots of CGI (in the case of Ooyukiumi no Kaina the whole series in animated this way) -the Japanese title includes the name of the male protagonists The main difference is that "Giniro no Kami no Agito" is a standalone film, while "Ooyukiumi no Kaina: Hoshi no Kenja" is a continuation of an anime series. Aside from that there should be enough similarities that fans of one could enjoy the other.  read more
