Elliptical Orbit: Fifteen years after its last contact with our world, a space freighter known as the Flying Dutchman requests permission to dock at a remote moon base. This mysterious ship carries liquid protons: a power source essential to the survival of Earth's population. But before the precious cargo can be delivered, the base is ambushed by galactic terrorists who seek to destroy the new form of energy and issue a death sentence to all of humanity. Symbiotic Planet: Against a backdrop of peculiar alien life forms, Aon and Elena - star-crossed lovers from rival countries - struggle to build a life together despite the objections of their superiors. Their budding romance is thwarted by an outbreak of potent alien fungus and the interference of a cutthroat militaristic madman. To survive, the young couple must maintain their faith in each other - and learn to trust the unique creatures which inhabit this strange and wondrous planet.

Not on Par with Similar Offerings
As a casual anime purchaser, I have to say I was expecting more from this collection. I really enjoyed Vexille and the Appleseed movies, which sport the same aesthetic appeal. However, TO has little by way of replay value. Think of something like the Animatrix or Batman: Gotham Knight, but limit the experience to two short stories. The stories are not connected by anything more than time and setting. Everything offered on the discs feels abbreviated, including the extras.While the stories are interesting, I could only recommend this to anime fans looking for something a bit different with expendable cash. This is a better rental than something to add to your collection.

Great Anime!
There are two different stories in this anime collection and both of them are very good with great 3D animation.

Eh, it's ok
I love the Appleseed and Vexille films so I was excited to see this two part feature. I was slightly disappointed because the animation was pretty poor. I would give it a 2.5/5 if I could. If you never saw Appleseed or Vexille, go get those instead.. much better!

WTF!?! did i just watch....... -.0
I've bought this one blind and thought i'd get a "movie", but there are only two 35min OVAs on the discs. However, i only watched the first OVA, that one was so horrible that I didn't even bothered watching the second one. The animation, modelling etc. looks like they were done by a bunch of amateurs. Oh well, maybe even amateurs could have done an better job in this ultra low budget production and don't get fooled by the trailer, they already picked the best scenes for it.The stories were loosely picked from Yukinobu Hoshino 2001 Nights mangas. 2001 Nights is a collection of short stories that look to mankind's exploration of space, and examine the possibilities that we could face when we decide to take those first fateful steps into the unknown. This sounds interesting and might work in the mangas (haven't read them), but it doesn't in this "movie". Stay away from it!If you like more realistic space anime get Planetes or Moonlight Mile and if you like CG try Vexille or Appleseed ExMachina, both of them are good and were directed by SORI, that's why i had high expectations in "TO Movie".Packaging:The Funimation US release comes in a standard DVD case, that holds a Blu-Ray and two DVDs (which you can give to some you don't like, fix an always wiggling chair or use them as coasters). Funimation wrapped the whole mess with their "new" "cheap" slipcase, they are using on their Anime "classic" line.

Disappointing considering its pedigree
The definition of mediocre anime.

Anime erranti (Les Égarés) è un film diretto da André Téchiné, tratto dal romanzo Le Garcon aux Yeux Gris di Gilles Perrault
Il film non è stato distribuito nelle sale cinematografiche italiane. E' l'amara vita di una vedova con due figli durante la seconda guerra mondiale che cerca di dare una parvenza di quotidianità alla banalità delle giornate
