Memorable experience (notice the pun) as a whole, re-watch value feels high too. First of the trio (Magnetic Rose) is an outstanding piece of mind-blowing scifi creativity. The other two are also good in their own ways but Magnetic Rose kind of outshines them in my opinion, that's all. Would most definitely recommend this.

MAGNETIC ROSE:
A true masterpiece of space science fiction. Hands down one of the most memorable and creative pieces of anime I have seen. Suprising and mesmerizing, visually stunning, clever and quite an emotion/thought-provoker. Every part works well in this audiovisual space novel thriller masterpiece, is that enough hype? Also flows ... extremely well with the overall theme of "Memories".

STINK BOMB:
Tragicomical chain of events, laughing at military and a nice play on the risks of warfare? Thought-provoking and the music gives it a nice weirdly light and playful vibe, despite all the cruelty. Art style is smooth and fitting and the animation flows well. Fun, cleverly tragic ride.

CANNON FODDER:
Portrays the war ideology and human history of violence in a straightforward, over the top way. Distinctive art style on this one, with nice litte animation tricks here and there. The perspective has been chosen well to deliver the message. Least favorite of the trio but a great thought-provoker (term of the day?) on the utter tragedy of war.

Excellently animated, absolutely love the art style, visual vibe and detail! Also believable with lots of realism and a great build-up for a masterpiece "space colony scifi-series", with a deep and thought provoking plot. A real shame that it was canceled (don't know the details) and thereby left unfinished, which lowers the score just a bit, storywise. Still managed to deliver I guess?

For some reason I've gotten this spark for space related animes and this one was well worth the trip, despite cutting so very short. Memorable and definitely worth recommending if there's any spark of interest for space related scifi (and you manage to ... find this gem) with depth and believability somewhere in there.
