In the Method to Madness podcast, I’m joined with my good friend Kevin “The Business” Gray to discuss great anime and video games that you should be watching as well as ones you should feel ashamed you are watching.
This episode, we discuss…
Memories
Memories collects three brilliantly animated anime shorts under the production lead of some guy…did some anime stuff…some of it was called Akira.
The first short–though I’m reluctant to use that term for this 45-minute long vignette–is a ghost ship story set in space, à la Event Horizon. The second is probably Japan’s idea of a fart joke. And the third is a phenomenal piece that invites us into another world, filled with blind patriotism and pro-war propaganda.
I got this DVD new at Big Lots for $3. I you do the same!

I found my copy at the same place. ^_^ I had the chance to get it played at a local con as part of a set of director’s retrospectives on Satoshi Kon and Katsuhiro Otomo. I’m sure the high school kiddies appreciated it. ^_^;;
Great set of shorts. They definitely do need to do more “director’s choice” style releases like this and Genius Party. Don’t know if there’s a market for it in the States, though. :/
Interesting piece of trivia: The fellow who directed the “Stink Bomb” short later went on to create (and direct) Darker than BLACK! Crazy times.
Count me in as a fan of the podcast. (I’ll catch up eventually. ^_^;;)
