Classic anime

After seeing Akira it's natural to be curious of what Otomo's produced. This collection of short movies(all more than 20 minutes though) is a fun, action-packed and imaginative reminder why anime is among the best genres, and NOT restricted to kids(or in the case of these shorts, not really for kids at all).

The last short of the three is called Cannon Fodder. It features a very cool style unlike normal anime, some neat "camera" tricks and illusions of 3D, and a heavy but playful mood. It's quirky and good but not great.

The second short is called Stink Bomb, which is a crazy, fast-paced disaster/action story with a healthy dose of black humour. It's very well made, with insanely detailed tanks, helis, airplanes etc, and lots of explosions. The whole thing is funny and bizarre, and easily a classic.

The first of the three shorts, which in my opinion should have been saved to last, is Magnetic Rose. Here the humour of the two others is gone, and we have a very gripping and serious story set in a sci-fi environment. This is more like Otomo's Akira stuff; epic but with great characters. Some scenes are gut-wrenchingly emotional and disturbing. All set to a classic opera score, it is chilling and eerie and grand-scale in a way Hollywood never seems to get right.

If you like to watch the occasional anime, this is a very good choice. Don't know how easy it is to get a hold of, but it seems to be very popular at least in Japan.

Beautifully made .

THis was one of the best animated movies that I've seen in along time . I'm not a big fan of anime ,but I appreciate originality and "Memories " isn't like the Japanese animation that you see on television .

Katsuhiro Otomo , the director of "Akira " directs with other two animators this collection of shorts .

The first "Magnetic Rose " Takes place in the future , it's my favorite .The animation it's splendid ,full of details and a subtle use of CGI .The opera music was very effective to support the dramatic story .

The second "Stink Bomb " ,takes place in the modern Japan ,and works very well like a dark comedy . The animation it's very good ,just like the first .

The third ,"Cannon Fodder " it's the most original ( and the most strange ) first of all ,the animation doesn't look like it were anime ,but it had a stylish and interesting appearance .The story follows the every day life of a family that lives in a society were every activity it's connected with the war . This movie it's a must see for every fan of animation .Even if you don't like anime ,I'm sure that you will find interesting material on this movie ,and proofs that animation could be art .

My 34th birthday viewing.

For the movie to watch on my 34th birthday,I decided to choose one of the movies that has been waiting years (!) to be played. In the mood for a Anime, I got set for a memorable viewing.

View on the film:

The lone story not written by Katsuhiro Otomo, the screenplay by Satoshi Kon for the opening tale, brilliantly continues to build on the recurring themes across Kon's works,in a compact form. Landing on a space ship whose distress call has been frozen in time, Kon welcomes the investigating crew with a eerie Horror atmosphere sprung from an increased blurring of dreams and reality (a major Kon theme) spun from Eva Friedel's memories haunting the ship.

Writing the other two stories in this Sci-FI anthology, the scripts by Katsuhiro Otomo (who also directed the third segment) wonderfully link them together via dark satire and allegorical menace, with Otomo being inspired by the real Gloria Ramirez incident, in having Tanaka spread his deadly stench completely unaware, whilst Cannon Fodder charges up the existentialism of a meaningless/never ending war.

Drawn from three different pairs of hands, the animation is linked to each tale with a incredible, hand drawn-animation clarity, from the detailed drawing of Eva's memories and the gas following Tanaka on every step he makes, to the smoke from the cannons of Cannon Fodder clouding the memories.
