Mnemosyne 2
- Yuri out of the blue is quite surprising, but not unwelcome.
- Convoluted plots are convoluted (that or Doremi’s subs just suck.)
- This show has an incredibly gross guro fetish that rubs me in entirely the wrong way.
- Even though Rie Kugimiya isn’t playing a tsundere loli they made her say BAKA and URUSAI anyway.
- Why is anime filled with retarded women who say shit like “I’M LOOKIN’ FOR AN ANGEL. I FIGURE SINCE THIS BUILDING IS TALL I’D BE ABLE TO LOOK FOR ANGELS.”
You know, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think Mnemosyne would be a pretentious piece of crap just from the name and the few bits of promotional material that surfaced originally. Thankfully, the show is anything but. I wouldn’t call it lighthearted, but it doesn’t take itself any more seriously than it needs too, and actually just loves being as trashy as possible. My problem with it is how it obsesses over its trashiness, by pilling on layer upon layer of shock in the form of gratuitous gore and blood spray. Making some of these gory scenes sexual doesn’t sit right with me either, but I suppose it’s all a matter of preference.
The imagery put on by the opening, ending and in the episodes themselves throw the viewer some mysteries, but I can’t be arsed to care about them. On top of that, while the characters do what they do well, I can’t really care for them that much either. They’re probably not moe enough, or something.
Basically what I’m saying is Menmosyne is pretty ok, but I don’t especially care about it. I’ll probably see it through to the end, but I’m not expecting much.
>Menmosyne is pretty ok
lies
I loves guro. And yuri guro is an orgasm waiting to happen.

I felt like Episode 1 was the perfect balance of bad B-Movie violence and sex without crossing the line, but Episode 2 has sort of taken it about 5 or 6 steps too far, with everything from the hero blatantly prostituting herself to tons of guro. I’m just invested in the characters enough from episode 1 to keep watching, but man…
It’s so 90s in just about every possible way, and i love it.
Yeah, I don’t specifically like the show but this part: “This show has an incredibly gross guro fetish that rubs me in entirely the wrong way.” is very nice. Those piercing-related scenes from the first episode were quite awesome, though edited and the bondage in episode 2 was quality as well. I just wish the show wasn’t pretentious animu nonsense and was more like say Wicked City. The opening is pretty rockin’ too, but the cliche (insert accent) aspect keeps me from doing more than scanning through the episodes. This same cliche scripting ruined the new Persona series from the get go. For that one, it’s like no one working on the anime has played any of the Megami Tensei or Persona games.

Wildarmsheero is allergic to blood and bondage, yet loves the loli, which we all know is the most EEEviLLLLl of all.
>> freak
pussy >_>
No, I actually like some light bondage. Just some rope, not much else. Loli bondage is quite nice.

Sorry I don’t get off to human suffering.
Hearing THE Rie and THE Mamiko making out is enough to keep me interested.
Mimi may be immortal, but she’s certainly loli-like in appearance. I am not complaining.
Gore ??? what gore ? I downloaded this hoping to see some heavy violent action (this season was lacking in it, I needed my dose)… but WTH ? Higurashi (first season) was like 10 times bloodier.
Well I guess I’m never watching Higurashi, then :D
But there’s a cute loli girl that goes “nippan~” and at some point stabs herself in the head (repeatedly) with a knife till she dies ^^;;
Yeah, that’s gross
the violence in Higurashi was so minute and boring.
Hi, I stumbled upon your site trying to find more info about Mnemosyne…I’m confused though, is it a sequel series? or a new series? I’m just wondering why I haven’t seen many people blogging about it.
it’s episode 2
