Anime Reviews - Kaiba
Kaiba has garnered some boisterous applause from just about every corner of the interwebs, but is it deserving or just another quirky title that hipsters of the geek world use to show how... hip... they are? "What are memories? Souls? Spirits? This is a world where memories can be turned into data and stored. Even if the body dies, its memories live on and can be transferred to another body. Bad memories can be erased and good ones downloaded. However, this is something only privileged can do. In a world like this, our protagonist Warp (aka Kaiba) is travelling in another body while having no memories of his own... From acclaimed director Masaaki Yuasa (Mindgame, The Tatami Galaxy) and featuring an evocative synth score by Kiyoshi Yoshida (The Girl Who Leapt through Time), Kaiba is a science fiction love story with a unique visual style and an undercurrent of existential longing."
