Synopsis

In a remote corner of the planet Arcana, Palme, a sentient android crafted from a mystical wood that is said to absorb the memories of the civilizations it roots in, is awakened by Koram, a wounded warrior from the Sol tribe. Entrusting him with the mystical "Egg of the Roof," she implores Palme to take it to the legendary realm of Tamas.

Galvanized with purpose for his existence, he accepts Koram's quest to deliver the relic to its source: the center of the planet, which is threatened by a malevolent and destructive force.

The artwork for a Tree of Palme is absolutely stunning. The characters are adorable (except for Palme, he sucks, but I can't tell you why without a major spoiler). The virtues of this show were not enough to offset it's one flaw though. They sacrificed the story upon the altar of symbolism.

A Tree of Palme is a complicated anime that should really be viewed as "Part One" and "Part Two". With that in mind, I will be reviewing the movie not as a whole, but as two separate parts.

Palme starts off the story as a silent puppet, constantly breaking. He's thrown into a confusing setting, with lots of energetic characters and action. I found it enjoyable how out-of-place hes character is and his inability to understand others.
