In the second half of the 90s, founder of the legendary 4°C Studio Koji Morimoto, director of the cult film Akira Katsuhiro Otomo, and creator of series Gods of Death and Darker than Black Tensai Okamura met to create an anthology film called Memories. Three animated stories offer a different genre each; the first and most critically acclaimed Magnetic Rose is an eerily poetic story of love and loneliness. The second, Stink Bomb, paints a humorous portrait of a man who becomes a foul-smelling biological weapon by accident. And the final Orwellian Cannon Fodder is shot in a specific way, to give the impression of a single long, uninterrupted scene.
