What does /tv/ think of Memories?
I think I wish America could afford to produce animation that takes it seriously seriously.
I don't remember
Magnetic Rose is a masterpiece. Feels like the best of Ridley Scott and Spielberg rolled into that short. Stink Bomb is fun, but forgettable, and Cannon Fodder feels like an expiremental short from the 80's independent animation scene.

gilded!
Magnetic Rose, amazing.
Stink Bomb, ok.
Cannon Fodder, looks different, meh.

I agree with this. I like that each film is vastly different from one another and I enjoy them all, but Magnetic Rose elevates the anthology to great heights just on its own.

It's a real shame, because America is the godfather of animation and continually took it to new levels of innovation and artistry up until a certain point where its growth was stunted, and in many areas began to decline as it became constricted to children's television and comedy. Japan's industry on the other hand has since flourished by making an effort to reach new audiences and expanding the scope of what is possible with animation. It's rather sad really, but I'm glad they took the torch from the Americans and prevented it from becoming a dead medium.

Japan's state of the art animation industry is dying, too. It's been in slow decline ever since the economic bubble burst there. You gotta remember Memories is over 20 years old now.

Yeah true, but at least Japan still produces a wide variety of content. CG animation has mostly killed off traditional animation in the west, though I guess it's still got a foothold in children's programming and stuff like adult swim. I enjoy CG animation on its own merits but it just doesn't capture the same kind of beauty that traditional animation does.
It's great and way above the other anime anthologies like Robot Carnival.

It's ok. Robot Carnival is better.
