Synopsis

Physical death doesn't necessarily mean true death when one's memories can be stored outside the body. Memories can be stored in a data bank, and transplanted into new bodies. Memories can be traded, altered and stolen. Society becomes a stagnated, powerless mess.

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 Neiro, the woman in the picture.

::QUICK REVIEW::
Story: 9 (Great amnesia story, love the sci-fi elements)
Art: 10 ("I DO" yelled Sam, "I do like green eggs and ham!")
Sound: 7 (overly silent at times, but dialog helps lot)

Overall: 45/50 = 9 (Everyone must experience this)


::FULL REVIEW::
People always try to be above others. It's because they can't be happy unless they have people below them. This show creates a whole universe around this concept and other unconventional ideals.

Director Masaaki Yuasa brings to his viewers yet another completely original and enthralling series. Kaiba presents audiences with a genuinely pleasing experience and pulls off the impossible with ease.

The story is driven by two things: Main plot progression, and setting the scene. The main plot is full of twists and turns, action and romance, lightheartedness and death; you name it, it's there. Kaiba's engaging story never loses its grip and continuously keeps audiences on their toes. A complex and absorbing story is but one of the many positives of this series.

In a different light, Kaiba puts an importance on setting the scene. There is a read more

Recommendations

Both series feature a main character that travels from place to place, learning more about that place and the people in it along the way. Instead of being a main component of the plot, the protagonists instead act as eyes through which the viewer can observe the stories of other characters.
Same director, therefore both animes have a similar atmosphere, character-design, art style, set of characters, plot etc... Those series are pretty much alike.
