Memories is made up of three different short stories adapted from the Manga of Katsuhiro Otomo:
+
Memories consists of three dazzling stories, each delivered with its own style. "Magnetic Rose," based on a manga short by Katsuhiro Otomo, concerns two space travelers following a distress signal drawn into a magnificent world created by one woman's memories. In "Stink Bomb," a young chemist accidentally transforms himself into an unstoppable biological weapon set on a direct course for Tokyo. "Cannon Fodder" depicts a day in the life of a city whose entire purpose is the firing of cannons at an unknown enemy.
 
 
===Magnetic Rose===
 
Probably the strongest of the stories, the script was written by a certain Satoshi Kon:  The general tone is that of a science-fiction ghost story, and top-notch animation certainly helps to convey the eerie feeling of the derelict space station explored by the protagonists.
 
 
 
===Stink Bug===
 
Coming as a heavy contrast to Magnetic Rose, Stink Bug tells the story of a hapless lab tech who accidentally turns himself into a living chemical weapon. Contains beautiful amounts of military hardware spam and explosions.
 
 
 
===Cannon Fodder===
 
Perhaps the most depressing of the Stories, Cannon Fodder could best be described as a slice of life about a mix of World War One and Ninteen Eighty Four, revolving around a city with an artillery fetish gone wild.
