Review of Memories

Memories is an anime made from a collection of 3 short stories. Each episode was directed by a different director and are great in their own ways. The first episode, Magnetic Rose takes place in an abandoned ship owned by a former opera singer. This episode has fantastic visuals, a good premise and some interesting characters. 8/10. The second episode, Stink Bomb is far more comedic in tone to the first episode, following a clumsy lab worker who unknowingly consumes a chemical weapon that causes people around him to drop dead. This episode does not take itself seriously and has some genuinely funny scenes. Once again, theanimation is top notch here, and it was the episode I liked the most. 9/10

The third and final episode, Cannon Fodder, tells the story of a family living in a highly militaristic dystopian society, where the primary function of most citizens is to produce and fire cannon shells towards an enemy. The story in this episode was the most interesting out of the bunch, and I found the characters to be quite interesting too. 8/10.

Overall, Memories is an underrated gem of an anime, and I highly recommend it.
