It was orignally a antibiochem medicine, but it reacted with every remedy the idiot took for his flu and the vaccine creating the stink bomb, it was in its trial phase so they had no idea it could become the weapon it was supposedto counter.
The director did go in a frenzy when he noticed ONE missing pill,tried to cover his ass deactivating the alarms before actually putting the MC in quarantine.
Probably as the MC was sleeping the stench wasat its lowest but the air duct did the job.
Not even sure people did die, maybe they were just knocked out in his presence.
The part were no one thought of putting a written board or radio to comunicate with him was the reallystupid part, together with a smell ruining electronics and MC someway entering the exosuit and the 2 other americans letting him do it.
You can see how the plot is unrealfromhow everyone reacted, can't happen in reality.

I understand why people say first episode good and 2-3 are just meh. But I don't agree, all three is good in it's own way. I especially like music in this one.

Holy fuck this was bad. What a turnaround from the last episode.

Very silly plot that took itself way too seriously starring an MC with a bag of rocks for brains. Dragged to all hell because of the total lack of content.

This was actually pretty enjoyable, sure nothing special storywise, but nice to look at again and with a hilarious ending.

Anyway, this was a fun episode, but not nearly as good as the first. The ending was pretty unexpected.
I thought I would feel bad for the protagonist since I already knew the synopsis for the episode, but I ended up calling him a retard multiple times.
Also
It's probably been said dozens of times in this thread, but this story was inspired by:

It's a pretty interesting read. Weird stuff.

dude was super dumb af and annoying but it was a very good episode, not on the same level as Magnetic Rose, but still it was entertaining despite some plot-holes. liked how they portrayed the military, americans and the absence of communication, the only antidote for the stink bomb.

Same, MC was just too ridiculously oblivious and careless.

The only redemption to his stupidity would be if it was caused by the drug so that he would keep spreading the gas, without question, like a mindless puppet.

The main character is the dumbest piece of shit retard and this movie was the most uncomfortable and frustrating thing I have ever watched because I wanted him to die so badly but the military always missed him. It's like one of those intentionally unsatisfying compilation videos. Usually I don't really hate any characters to this extent. Who was I supposed to root for? Other than that, shit movie. Why did the black guy not want to kill him? He could've done that and then still retrieved the capsules he wanted so it made no sense. How was the military not able to kill him? Was this supposed to be a comedy? But it wasn't funny at all? How can something that calls itself a human being be this stupid but still intelligent enough to properly operate a bycicle?

What a funny story. At all times I was either laughing my ass off or smirking. Truly a good comedy.
However, the amount of idiocy in this episode is very annoying. Weren't there better ways to alert Nobuo? How did he get in the suit? How much of an idiot he was not to realize he was the one making the smell? What an idiot. If you are the only survivor of an accident and you have seen many people dying before you as you approach them, you should be already suspecting something. Also, the thing with the flowers was never explained.
Anyway, as I said, it achieved it's goal being a comedy, and achieved it very well. The audiovisuals were also very good. 8/10

Very stupid premise and equally stupid protagonist, I didn't like this one at all.
After thinking about it a bit though, I think it's biggest flaw was the artwork style, it sets a serious tone that doesn't really work in this one's favor as it's obviously supposed to be humorous.

Watching Memories in 2021 is quite an experience, Magnetic Rose' ship was called Corona and Stink Bomb begins with Tanaka getting a shot and wearing a mask to work.

Anyway, I like how starkly Stink Bomb contrast Magnetic. It would've made for a more cohesive product had they simply stuck to a similar theme for all the movies but variety is the spice of life, I appreciate the differences. From the very beginning Stink Bomb sets itself apart with that super happy song. While Magnetic Rose focused on a very small cast, Stink Bomb features tons of active players. While Magnetic Rose is an exploration of an empty space ship, Stink Bomb is a journey through Japan. While Magnetic Rose is a space horror, Stink Bomb is a black comedy. Where Magnetic Rose was great, Stink Bomb was a bore.

In fairness to Stink Bomb, the animation was great and I appreciated the absurd extremes it took it's premise but the further it went on the more and more I got tired of the same gag. I don't have any issue with Tanaka being stupid, I have an issue with the how the premise of the movie is really it's only joke. I found it somewhat amusing at first but it kept going on and while they did ramp up the intensity of his powers, it didn't change the fact that it was a singular gag. The technology messing up was the only new ripple they really added but it wasn't enough to really regain my attention, I was just waiting for it to wrap up. The ending gag was probably the only way to properly end this but it was too predictable for me to land.

If Magnetic Rose lingers between an 8 or 9 for me, Stink Bomb's lingering between 3 or 4. Probably closer to a 4 but boy, this is going to dragged down the score quite a bit. I'm guessing the last film will fall somewhere between those two.

not good. kind of stupid, actually

sure, i can totally see some guy infecting himself in a lab like that and spreading the contagion amongst his colleagues/facility and even within the city he's in. but that he would keep heading towards f***ing tokyo with all of that devastation following him, that militaries from two separate countries are trying to stop him, capture him, fire missiles at him, kill him, etc... and he's f***ing OBLIVIOUS to wtf is going on? omg make the stupidity stop

there's no way he avoids all those missiles. there's no way he just keeps heading towards tokyo and saying to himself "why are they shooting at me?" and then doesn't actually think HE'S the problem. there's no way someone's perspiration/sweat can spread that easily via gaseous form

it's all just so dumb

4 or 5/10 for this episode. making it a 5/10 overall through 2 episodes

i REALLY enjoyed the "Nobuo's Revenge" songs that played throughout, as well as the animation quality (for the most part), but those things aren't what i judge an anime on... characters, plot, direction, etc

it's always interesting to see how america/americans are portrayed in international (in this case specifically, japanese) media

if i'm being honest, i don't feel like watching the third episode at this point

To everyone who was unsettled and simply scared by this episode - you're not alone. The story is a nightmare fuel. I tried to laugh during some scenes, but couldn't shake off all the creepiness this movie evoked. All the eerie consequences of the plot.

Maybe I'm weird but this was my favorite out of the 3 episodes, there was just everything I loved in this, beginning with "mystery" and moving on with comedy, the direction and animation really remind me of something like Akira, so I just loved it

omg it was just so good. I need to think about it more in terms of what it means but initially having just finished it, it just makes me think about the relationship between the government and the people and just the flow on effect of our ignorance.

Unthoughtful, zero realism story concept, explanations feel forced. Comparing it to the first is like comparing different dimensions, wouldn't recommend watching this episode. The only value it holds is in the animation but it can not compensate for the horrible experience.

The second episode looks pretty silly, but I really liked the concept of it and the situation, the protagonist also being a fool and an idiot, you can take a few laughs and be impressed with how well animated it was.

After watching this episode I have come to think that there are two contrasting opinions (not regarding the score one would give it) in that the viewer thought it was either funny or infuriating, because of the stupidity of the protagonist. Regardless if taking the pill that caused his body to excrete the lethal odor had another side effect which was a factor in his stupidity, I fell into the latter category.

But other than being glad when it was over I’ve thought about it. The things I have heard about with the Japanese people, especially the shame and work culture which I will not go into detail here. It made me think, what if that was the point. That I was totally supposed to hate the protagonist but not for being a complete moron who caused way more deaths than there should have. That maybe the primary point of this episode was to be a polemic against the overpowering (blind?) obedience prevalent to the common Japanese people at the time and seemingly remaining to this very day. This was clearly shown when our protagonist just had to be a good little boy following orders even though he has military grade weapons targeted at him and sees that coming into human (with HAZMAT or not) and animal proximity is the cause of them dying.
