Brief Description:
One day a man, Kaiba, wakes up in a broken room. He has no memories, only a pendant with a picture of an unknown woman. Outside of the room are grotesque floating electrical clouds of disjointed memories. Kaiba is suddenly assaulted, and escapes into space. He travels to various planets, encountering various people and retrieving his memories. Memories of an inconsistent and decaying world, of his own agony and of Niero, the woman in the picture.

This was an experience. From the art, to the world, to the story being told, this is one heckuva thing to watch! First off, this is not your usual anime style. This looks like your simple children’s cartoon. However, it’s very far from that.

This world is incredibly different from ours and takes perhaps 3 episodes to get used to- and only if you really keep an open mind and just accept things for what they are. Luggage can look like a giant dinosaur. People can switch into bodies that are lime green and have horns. Blood is green, and weird space plants are coming to destroy the world!

And yet, within this complicated world, there is an incredibly simple story about a boy who has amnesia and is looking for his lost love. He encounters many things he only partially understands, such as people tossing away memory chips that aren’t of any use to them and deciding which family members can be stored in the house memory banks. He himself undergoes many trials and tribulations, such as losing his original body and needing to take refuge in that of a young girl- and faces forgetting himself and who he originally was in the process. He encounters many people who have done both good and bad things, and sees both the deep sorrow and happiness that people can experience with eachother.

It's a thinking anime, for sure, with lots of good questions brought up. It doesn't really answer them, but even with some things unanswered, it was a great show.

Violence/Gore- People tend to die very easily- one after being overloaded with sex! Blood tends to splatter a lot.

Nudity/Sexual Content- This deals a lot with sexuality, from Kaiba’s original body being used for sex (you see the covers moving and it's obvious what happens), Kaiba dealing with confused sexuality, lots of people wanting to get with Kaiba in his Chronika body.

Other Themes- Language isn’t that bad, a few d- and h-words, maybe a b-word or two in there. And drugs are very much in use.
