FilmFlaneur's review contains many inaccuracies. For one thing, the movie was not made for promoting Okinawan tourism. And the movie was not second-rate animation at the time it was made. It was also not just shown once and then forgotten until the DVD release Also, the DVD contains an English dub. I should know; I own it.

For a brief summary of the movie, in a world laid waste by nuclear war, Amamiku guards the seeds that hold the genetic code of the planet and can be used for its rebirth. Living underwater and protected from the radioactive atmosphere above, she impatiently waits for the earth to be ready for the seeds to germinate.But when her existence is discovered, it sparks a frantic race between the remains of humanity struggling for survival, and the disembodied brain, Glyptofane. This fanatic being, who sees mankind as a plague, has programmed his robotic army to destroy them.

Glyptofane is just one of three beings who oversee the world's evolution. The other two disagree with his extreme methods and try to protect humanity and allow them and the world to be reborn. In the end, they, with Amamiku, some humans who survived on Earth, and Amamiku's AI friendguardian, are successful in reseeding life on Earth. Glyptofane is eliminated in the final battle.

For those who dislike reading subtitles and who are not proficient in Japanese, the English dub is fairly decent. It's a shame that FilmFlaneur couldn't be bothered to check out the facts on the movie and the DVD.
