BTW, I liked the little "omake" during the ending credits.

It wasn't really an extra though. They explained the purpose of the baby and all.

I understood everything very well, since the revelations of episode 6 tied everything that had happened before. I liked the series' ending too, but I wonder how long it'd been after the conclusion and the epilogue where the 3 girls were sitting inside the Yggdrasil castle with the Maeno baby. Well I suppose it at least was 9 months...

And so that concludes the 6 episode OVA of torture porn. Lol joking, great anime though..left me wanting more. Ive always liked "mature" anime =].

I suppose the ending wasn't as climatic as i'd hoped, it did build up but i guess it was abit of a let down. Well great anime none-the-less

8/10.

Just finished it in English the other day but I will say that both versions sub and dub were great. However I had left Episodes 3-6 alone so I could watch them in English. But oh my god. Am I the only one who felt empty inside after finishing this series?

This was the most thoroughly average thing I have watched for a long time.

Absolutely nothing exceptional about it, good or bad. Just... average. So okay it's average.

I'm confused about the ending like the egg thing but I'll rewatch later.

This ending wasn't satisfying in the slightest. It tried to fill the audience in on all the missing information but it still didn't make a bit of sense.

What was the point of the guardian and why does Yggdrasil do what it does and why does it even exist? I also don't understand the whole egg/root thing.

I'm also confused how fucking Meneos bloodline is related to Rin... how? From the fruit of time she just ate.... even if this all made sense it still wouldn't be satisfying.

Like why does Apos even need to do anything? He seems to be fine, he's immortal and super strong... does being the guardian restrict from something he wants? He's immortal, what else could he desire.

Apos is also an idiot for letting Rin come back. He practically just let the little girl pull Rin out... what was he doing? Too busy fucking Mimi?

Everything in this anime was good until they tried adding a plot to how the time spores work.. it just didn't make sense.

It also felt like a hentai most of the time, predictable fan service every ep and pointless nudity. There's being adult then there's being Mnemosyne.


I liked this anime, but confusing/stupid plots are irritating and really decrease my enjoyment. Overall I'd give the series a 7.5. The ending was mediocre at best but the rest was pretty good.

1/5 - 8
6 - 5

EDIT: "White Blood"..... that is all.

Seems im alone in finding this episode a bit unsatisfying?

I was REALLY looking forward to this because the 5 episode ended on such a cliffhanger, I still feel theres a lot of the show that remains unexplained, the whole purpose of the immortal women/angel relationship for example - unless of course I missed something.

This is a series that by and large I shouldnt like, large amounts of fan service and gratuitous yuri scenes normally put me off a show yet Mnemosyne had enough plot and mystery to keep me coming back for more.

The fact that they were still explaining plot elements though the closing credits smacks of poor timing, and the whole thing seems a bit, well, I guess I was expecting it to end with more of a bang..

Wavering between a 6/10 and a 7/10 on this show...


Kinda my feelings too about this show.
I would really have liked to see more details of the past, some were just very briefly mentioned, others were ignored completely. Probably 7/10 from me.
I probably regret this post by now.

an acceptable ending, altho more info about the origins can be revealed

Apos ways of killing time are sick, his ending is well deserved

i guess this show is trying to tell us immortals and angels may exist around us without us knowing it... and the moral of the story should be: information does not come cheap :)

Angel-Rin was beautiful.

This was a very nice final, I liked how it all came together and that Apos got what he/she/it deserved. Overall I'm giving this an 8/10. It was nicely different, and a bit sick. The whole 'anime for adults' stuff in the other Mnemosyne topic is pretty much bullshit though. It takes a bit more than just a topic not suited for kids and most teenagers. I was a bit worried that this anime would kinda end like that, in a weak conclusion... but I liked how they ended it so I won't have to lower my score.


I agree I am 17 and I saw this show it's pretty good!!I love Apos as a guy though .Can't believe he was the son of the Former gaurdian.Mostly the whole reason why he had boobs is because he only eat women's memories.(what did he do to that one striper?)this anime Mnemosyne is a true TV-MA!!!
I'm glad Rin got a baby from her true love.(well kind of)
I give it 8/10 for the gore and love.I felt the creaters were rushing this show I mean skiping years I'm like WHAT!!?? why?

This was a very satisfying end to the series. In the end, even Apos got what he wanted.


so true even though he was still hot!!

albin said:
I say nice ending but very confusing.. I will probably watch it a few times to think it over.

I never really got the thing with the baby and the "bride of god" thing in that egg.. very confusing..
And also , the last word in the end credits : "And then..." drove me crazy XD
And who was that woman that Apos kept torturing and playing chess with? Was that the readhead chick with the talking robot head?

The whole series was awesome but I must say they could have made the ending a bit more understandable..

In episode 6 that gilr was Laura ,yes the robot girl.those that answer the question.

lilgumba said:
I liked how this ended. It is still open ended but I was still left satisfied with what was shown. I too need to watch it again to understand fully the Maeno connection but I kind of understand it.

The highlight of the episode was Mimi not acting like a damsel in distress. She got on the ball and did everything in her power to save Rin (though her effectiveness kind of sucks it's the thought that counts.)

My question is: Since Apos was half woman half man he acted like an immortal angel, does this mean that since Rin is the new guardian and a woman that she is now an immortal guardian?


Rin's baby is the new Gaurdian. Apos played by Todd Haberkorn he was just perfect bad guy!!

Wtf? I loved this anime but they really didn't explain much. She meets her lover after a thousand years and he dies so easily how lame !! I wish they would make a season 2 and have it a full 12 episodes to explain things, and I'm really curious as to what her son will be like when he grows up.

I got the feeling that they either left a lot of stuff for the end, or that they changed something in the storyline along the way. I'll have to watch it again to see how it feels after knowing everything about Rin and Mimi.

Having said that, I thought this was a very well made series. Good mix of actions, supernatural, sci fi and erotic content. I loved the time progression elements and how the side characters were important as well.

Gotta say this is one of the sickest, immoral Anime I've ever seen yet
Root of Yggdrasil reminds me of Lady Gaga's born this way LOL.

I like the whole awesomeness but the ending ruined the whole story with Rin gives birth to a baby who looks old and too many sex that's quite unnecessary to the story.

Where should I start..
Well, it surely is a dark series with a lot of fan service mixed with blood/gore and torture..?
I am not sure I can place the finger to what it really was that kept me finishing this show, but, it did.
About the story, the 1000 year old angel that Rin knew from the past, He was not in the same blood line as that girl and her father/grandfather etc? I must have slipped a lot in the story line on that part.
anyway, for the show I'd happily give a 8/10, cannot really go any higher than that as I'm more into a good story, which this show didn't make the time to complete, both before and after this incident. 8/10 for a genre I'm rather fresh watching, maybe I'm just being nice? :)

Not exactly the way I'd expected this to end, but it's not the worst case scenario.

I was really confused in the beginning of this episode. Amnesia-Rin was such a damsel-in-distress, I kinda felt like she kept semi-playing that role throughout the rest of the episode. Also, I was kinda sad that Mimi didn't even get a kiss or anything from Rin after having come to her rescue; everyone else in the episode pretty much gets a kiss from her.

It felt weird having Mishio introduced this late in the show, and I honestly didn't see the point of Mimi dragging her along with her to Apos' castle. I mean, why didn't she bring Teruki instead?

I have mixed feelings regarding this ending. Originally I was gonna give this a 9/10, but the ending lowered it to an 8/10.

Trashy and dumb to the very end, but that's what makes it funny. Ending on the kind of mutated mythology, nonsense, and pretentiousness that anime has often been in love with is the perfect way for this nonsense to bow out.

Perhaps I am just not nearly as elite as a great many of you, but I found the series to be really intriguing.

I watch all anime for the story, and though this one was incredibly fast-paced and convoluted, I still think it was fairly interesting and worth the watch (and soon a re-watch, so I can fill in some plot points I missed).


Overall? 8/10, for the interesting view of the story, but some major "flaws" in my eyes that kept it from getting a higher rating.
Definitely wait until you are very comfortable with anime before seeing Rin. Otherwise this may really mess up your view of Dark/ecchi/god knows what else genres.

EDIT: "White Blood"..... that is all.


I feel like the egg/tree things containts the memory of the world (like everyone that ever existed). Apos just loves to consumes memories and had to become a guardian to have access to thoses. He also wanted to start a war and give people the hability to see the spores to generate even more memories to consumes.

I guess the guardians exists just to protect those memories.

There is still many plot holes though...

Overall it was entertaining enough 7/10.

I just loved the op and ed songs from Galneryus. Also liked the way Kouki's memories helped Rin in the end. But I also don't comprehend the point in Mimi dragging Mishio to those events instead of Teruki, it was kind of a forced plotline.

I really chanced upon this anime very randomly. I was checking out a seiyuu in ANN for a totally different show when the phrase Mnemosyne caught my eye. So, with my curiosity piqued, I checked out the show at first there in ANN where the ratings were good, and then in here. I saw the genres and the themes and it had almost every theme or genre put into six episodes.

Saw that AT-X were the broadcasters. So, was aware of the fact that, after seeing ecchi as one of its themes, I was on guard and was ready to tackle any borderline hentai or ecchi sequences. Moving on, the timeskips were sudden but brilliant, the torture part was sickening, the opening and ending was suited to the themes. Eipos was a genuine douchebag.

One of the most regal scenes that I have watched in an anime till now was when Rin spread her creamy white wings to become an angel. Gave me goosebumps. Mamiko Noto (CV of Nina Fortner from Monster) and Kugimiya Rie (Tsundere Queen) did what we would expect from them. Ending was appreciable and was happy. Couldn't ask for more in an anime filled with diverse genres and themes with vast touches of uniqueness.

8 or 9 out of 10 for me. Those yuri scenes sure were racy, eh.. :3
