Memories Fan Club

Information
This is a club for this underrated anime.

Magnetic Rose
"Magnetic Rose" is about what happens when a deep space corporate freighter is called upon to investigate a distress signal from what ought to be a derelict space station. The space station is run by the deranged AI imprint of a lovelorn, jaded opera diva, who controls the station's functions, including its life support systems and (to more dramatic effect) its VR holography and supporting nanotechnical systems.

Of all three short films within "Memories", Magnetic Rose is generally considered to be the best, with fans often praising its emotional potency and skillful direction. Directed by Morimoto Koji. Script by noted anime director Kon Satoshi, based on a story by Otomo Katsuhiro.

Stink Bomb
More comical in tone than "Magnetic Rose", "Stink Bomb" concerns a young man who shows up to work at a bioresearch facility whilst flu-ridden. At a colleague's insistence, he takes some pills. These turn out to be part of a biological weapon program—the young man soon acquires a (literally) deadly body odor and becomes a walking weapon of mass destruction.

Cannon Fodder
In a walled city perpetually at war, everyone's lives and livelihood depend upon maintaining and firing the cannons: millions of cannons, ranging from cannons the size of the Seagram Tower to cannons the size of a beer bottle. The entire city is cannons: they take the place of smokestacks, of satellite dishes and TV antennae. The action directly concerns a young boy and his cannon-loader father, but is really about the faceless masses who slave to fuel and maintain this parody of the twentieth century war machine.

Done.
Though, this matter is still open for debate if anyone objects.

Sounds OK to me. ^_^

I'm thinking of changing this club to the "Memories Fan Club". I do think that Magnetic Rose is the best of the three, but they're still one package and are meant to be watched together.

What do you guys think?

This movie is probably one of the best I've ever seen. I've very surprised finding this hidden gem even though it's a high 7 rating.

10/10 due to the lack of flaws in its story telling.

Stink Bomb had a decent story and was kinda fun for its length, the animation style of cannon fodder was a bit strange for me, but I really liked the underlying message as it shows the constructs of modern military countries(such as the US.)
Anyways, point being, I feel magnetic rose really tied itself together a bit better than the other two, visually compelling, good story, good themes, ect....
