Origin: Spirits of the Past

[foxfirefey]

Origin - Spirits of the Past is an anime movie I stumbled across on Hulu. The plot isn't anything very spectacular; it's your normal humanity must learn to live in harmony with nature pastiche. Additionally, I've always found myself to like subs better than dubs and this is a dub, so I wonder what subtleties of tone and meaning I might be missing. However, it's visually interesting (although sometimes the 3D animation isn't as integrated with the 2D animation as I'd like) and I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic storylines (a town built over the decaying hulks of city buildings).

Also notable and the reason for posting: it passes the Bechdel test multiple times.

Best instance of passing: The current main leader of the town, an older female, has a conversation with forest humanoids who are female in form and voice, about one of the female leads being a danger to the Forest.

There's also conversations between the lead female character and a supporting female character that don't have anything to do about romance with the male lead, even though that is a factor in the storyline.
