"MEMORIES" A masterpiece omnibus work that will remain in the history of Blu-ray animation

MEMORIES, executive produced and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, is a masterpiece anthology animated film that was released in theaters in 1995. Supported by the Arts and Culture Promotion Fund and participating in the Tokyo International Fantastic Film Festival, the film is still beloved by many fans today as a highly acclaimed masterpiece.

Magnetic Rose

Directed by Koji Morimoto, "Magnetic Rose" tells the story of a group of astronauts traveling through deep space who respond to a distress signal and are drawn into a spectacular world created by the memories of a once-beloved diva. The depictions of fantastical outer space and abandoned spaceships are captivating, created using cutting-edge technology of the time.

Stink Bomb

"Stink Bomb," directed by Okamura Tensai, tells the story of a young scientist who catches a cold and accidentally takes a new drug, unknowingly turning himself into a walking weapon of mass destruction. The film is characterized by its vivid colors and comical yet ironic storyline.

Cannon Fodder

Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo himself, "Cannon Fodder" depicts a day in the life of a family living in a city where war is the only goal. It vividly depicts a world without dreams or hope, where giant cannons are constantly being fired, and its unique visuals leave a lasting impression on viewers. The screenplay was written by Katsuhiro Otomo and Satoshi Kon, and the combined talents of these two authors create a rich storytelling experience. The film's captivating music, composed by Yoko Kanno, Jun Miyake, and Hiroyuki Nagashima, as well as the opening and ending themes by Takkyu Ishino, further enhance its appeal.
