Created by celebrated anime master Katsuhiro Otomo, Memories consists of three dazzling stories, each delivered with its own astonishing style. Magnetic Rose, directed by Koji Morimoto based on a manga short by Otomo, concerns two space travellers following a distress signal drawn into a magnificent world created by one woman's memories. In director Tensai Okamura's Stink Bomb, a young chemist accidentally transforms himself into an unstoppable biological weapon set on a direct course for Tokyo. Otomo's own Cannon Fodder depicts a day in the life of a city whose entire purpose is the firing of cannons at an unknown enemy. (Siren Visual Entertainment)

I must admit, I expected a bit more from Studio 4°C, especially after reading about them. I'm not sure if Memories is a film that stands out significantly from traditional Japanese animation, but it seemed quite standard to me, although it's true that the storytelling style is not that straightforward. Some scenes are truly excellent, showing how much can happen in a single scene. I guess I was just expecting something very special.
