    Who's seen this small collection of shorts inspired by the writings of Katsuhiro Otomo (of Akira and Roujin Z fame)?

    I just borrowed a copy from a friend, and I immediately fell in love with the first short, "Magnetic Rose (Yoko Kanno also composed the music for it)." I don't know if it's ever going to come over to the States, but I sure hope it does! The other two shorts, "Stink Bomb" and "Cannon Fodder" I didn't find quite as great, but they were definitely still enjoyable, and "Cannon Fodder's" social satire was a nice touch to Memories.

    I've seen it. Have a decent copy of it. I knew I had to see it after UK showed me the music video with footage from Magnetic Rose and music from Phantom of the Opera techno remix. I was impressed by how good it looked, and wasn't disappointed to see the full thing. Stinkbomb and Cannon Fodder are pretty good too :)
