Origin: Spirits of the Past/YMMV


 * Ass Pull:
 * Boring Invincible Hero:
 * Broken Aesop:
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Some people consider the movie's themesong "With Reflection" as this. At any rate, it's gorgeous.
 * The full name is Chouwa Oto ~With Reflection~, and it's by KOKIA, a prominent name in anime music (the artist did a wonderful cover of Desperado, by The Eagles). Here's an obligator link to the original.
 * Designated Hero / Designated Villain: Riddle me this. On one side, we have a scientist who, in his impatience, screwed the world. He tried living in the world as it became, and eventually decided it was absolutely unacceptable. So he goes to the girl who can fix it, and asks politely. On the other side, we have a genetically engineered plant that has attained sentience and mystic powers, and decided to massacre a few billion people and ravage human civilization for reasons it has never chosen to elaborate on, and then withholds key survival necessities (notably water) from the remainder at a whim. It sees a girl who has access to the equipment that can destroy it, and A: tries to kill her repeatedly, B: demands she be given over to it while withholding water. Who sounds like the bad guy here? It's pretty clear the scriptwriters disagree with me.
 * Since the moon being partially destroyed and most of humanity being wiped out was Shunack's fault, however unintentionally, and since his little method of cleansing his guilt would have eventually wiped out the rest of humanity as well as the Forest, cheering for Agito becomes that much easier. Also, considering all the fuss about deforestation, pollution and climate change, portraying the destruction of forests as a good thing was probably best to be avoided.
 * Furthermore, most people who "ask politely" do not do so while accompanied by a bunch of walking tanks.
 * This troper thought that the forest was just taking its long over due revenge over the humans who mistreated it for so long.
 * Eh, except the forest explicitly came from the lunar terraforming experiments and not the result of any terrestrial forest, so it's been antagonistic to humans since its creation.
 * Marty Stu: There is a strong case for Agito being one, one of the biggest bits of evidence being the above entry for Boring Invincible Hero - there is literally nothing that harms Agito. Except some sleeping pellets, but under the circumstances that's like throwing tranquilizer darts at a living nuclear bomb. It'll knock it out for a bit, but will it really do much?
 * Memetic Mutation: TOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
 * Narm:
 * Uncanny Valley: The twin forest spirits intentionally fall into this.
