After watching several episodes of Time of Eve I was interested to see what other works Yasuhiro Yoshiura had worked on and found that there are two titles that he has made and while Aquatic Language is more like Time of Eve I just couldn't watch more than a couple minutes so I'll have to give it another try later on but the second title that he did was Pale Cocoon which for me was more interesting and enjoyable to watch
At first I didn't even think I would be able to find it since it hasn't been licensed by anyone and it was from 2006 but thank goodness Crunchyroll has them both so I was able to check it out finally. Pale Cocoon is a short story OVA about a couple of people working to recover lost data from a world that once was. They are pretty much the last people working on this recovery as many people have lost the will to find out what the world was like before it was destroyed by humans. Ura is the main character and he starts working on recovering a couple files one day to discover that they are a music video and a journal of a young lady talking about her journey to the moon to be part of a colony or some such junk.
Because of the two videos Ura decides to climb to the top of the industrial complex that they live and work in and leaves his friend behind to discover the truth. The truth that the people were actually living in a moon colony and that the Earth had returned to it's colorful former self of a Blue and Green planet.
I found it to be a rather touching and sincere story with a bit more meat to it than Time of Eve has. It gives you something more to ponder that is more timely (Earth environmental issues green house gases that sort of thing) than something more Scifi. Obviously I highly recommend checking it out on crunchyroll and you can find it here in addition to that you can check out this sort of trailer on YouTube as well.
