(L) Mnemosyne - Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi

[WanderingKnight]

Is it me, or Doremi's version of episode 4 is way, way down below in the quality department? Episode 3 was acceptable even though it lacked a little quality, but 4 is absolutely unwatchable.

I sincerely haven't seen an encoding so bad since the early 2000s. I'm simply checking to see if it's just myself, or if I'm doing something wrong.

(From what I can see, it's terribly upscaled. I cannot find a reasoning behind it, though).

Just watched Episode 5, and it looks rather complex.

Spoiler for episode 5:

It was hard to watch as Rin gets her spore ripped off by Eipos, all in from of a tied-up Mimi. I was expecting a bit more awareness from Rin's part; she just stood there in shock.

If I remember correctly, she still has that red time spore around her neck. Furthermore, I doubt that both girls will perish on the spot. I believe that this red spore might reanimate Rin (yeah, I know, it's a real farfetched idea), so she can untie Mimi (poor girl) and get after Eipos. There's afterall a reason why Eipos was interested in Rin's spore, but I don't think Rin will let Eipos drink her spore, probably because Rin might know something far more dangerous than we think, and if Eipos knows about it, well it's bye bye the entire world.

Perhaps I despair too much about Rin's death, but that red spore could be Rin's second chance of survival. I don't think the producers would kill a main character that easily. I mean, come one, she didn't even put up a fight, and now there isn't anybody else to stop Eipos, so Rin has a high chance to make a comeback. How and when is to be revealed in the last episode.

When was the last synopsis posted anyway ? 2 weeks before the broadcast ? 1 week before the broadcast ? That ep.6 preview didn't show anything, but the synopsis might tell us something interesting.

[Xellos-_^]

Just finish watching ep1

does it make me a bad person when the only thing i can think during the Rin torture scene was that Tanaka Rie was yuri rape/torturing Maiko Noto

[FatPianoBoy]

Aside from 'ouch, that looks like it hurts,' that's probably all anyone was thinking about...

[JiCi]

The 6th synopsis is out:

Eipos disappears with the time spore, in search of beauty apparently. Meanwhile, rumors about the incident are running around, speadring a lot of confusion. A stranger is walking in a castle and the wedding dress is for her.

The rest is rather unclear.

[fict_ticious]

An excellent episode.

Spoiler:

Seems Clone Jr. has done well for himself, and has quite a handful for a daughter. We'll see where her curiosity takes her in the future.
As for the end... WHAT A TWIST! I'm guessing if Rin ISN'T completely gone, she's likely been sent to that garden thingy as one of those living statue things. That, or there's still the Maeno time spore available to her.

Well, 16 days left until we get to see the episode.

[Polaryzed_123]

Bah! Just watched ep 5....not the ending I was expecting. But to answer a comment earlier...

Spoiler for Rin at the end:

The reason that Rin didn't fight back at the end is because she COULDN'T fight back. Much like a regular goon angel with his fleshy wings out, the females get all gooey legged. Well, we can assume that Apos has far greater power and when he stopped and spread his wings is when Rin stopped moving. She didn't have a choice to fight back. Poor Rin. She better not be dead-dead. That would suck

[Deathkillz]

I knew it was a good idea to wait so I can fully enjoy this the first time

ep 5

Spoiler:

Holy smokes

Rin is no more? This can't be...
What say that there is a rule that she can be rebuilt if her spore isn't eaten and I damn well hope it happens.

Aphos is a freak of nature. He/she was probably like before he/she obtained the spore.

Any wow at the time jumps...2055 is a long way ahead (thinking about it I would be 65 at the time, scary ). But the world they live in looks cool...we can only dream of it at this age

So now the assassin chick has Rin's face, should have known

Goodbye Genta ;____;

It took a long time for Rin to reconstruct herself but just whos spore is that she held in her hand whilst being washed up 5 years ago. As well, who is that old man who Aphos called the previous god O.o

I can't wait to see what happens next but either way, Aphos is going to die

I didn't catch this the first time when i saw it, but the spore necklace is probably

Spoiler:

Kouki Maenos, remember Apos dropped Kouki's spore into the ocean?

Probably.

Spoiler for episode 6 summary:

And to the Kingdom's Door......

Rin disappeared along with Aipos. Mimi and Mishio search for Rin, betting on a gleam of hope. On the other side, the world starts to fall into chaos through rumors and incidents involving immortality. When the world was about to slowly break, Rin wakes up in an unknown castle wearing a white wedding dress.

Rin wanders around in the castle, and she spots the woman who died despite being immortal. And when Rin got to the plaza outside the castle, a flock of angels decend!

Phew... so at least there is no time skip? *hopes Mishio makes it out, alive*

Thanks for the synopsis Serenade_beta, I knew Google translation was clunky and funky.

Aw man... this is starting to make my head hurt. Now she's dead, now she's alive, now she's dead, now she's alive, now she's dead, now she's alive but she's also dead at the same time.

CAN'T THEY MAKE THEIR MINDS ALREADY ? I can't take it anymore...

*slaps head*
Ahh...that makes sense.

Now I wonder what role his spore has to play in all of this :3

[juventas]

I can't wait to see what kind of Deus Ex Machina they use to pull Rin back.

[Ghostfriendly]

Just recently I was reading through the nightmare fuel page on TV tropes, and thinking how curious it was that I'd watched many of the examples without effect.

The pyramid of permenantly suffocating women had an effect; and a big one. Not to mention Apos' evil sigh.

Spoiler:

Does anyone have an idea how Apos and the old-fashioned-telephone man came to be? They were perhaps men who picked up an Angel time spore, then ate other Time Spores to gain immortality, delevolping female characteristics as they did so (I was hoping old-telephone was Rin's old boyfriend; not anymore I'm not)? I was really hoping they'd explain all that in this chapter...instead Mimi seems to be sinking deeper into depravity from ep 3 onwards. Thems the breaks.

[EvilDevil]

Spoiler for rin and genta:

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
whywhywhywhywhy!!!
Rin!!!!!!
Gentaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
DAMN U APOS!!!!!!!!!!

[EvilDevil]

remember that scene with Mishio and Rin which were talking about about Rin's past
quote: "But Nobunaga isn't..."

i wonder... could it mean

Spoiler for nobunaga:

Rin was Nobunaga
Nobunaga wasnt real
...or Nobunaga was a little loli girl...

and i cant believe Mimi can throw an all female orgy without feeling embarrased... they grow up so fast...

[Chase]

Spoiler for episode 5:

wtf Rin...........noooo, im pissed.

[Sinestra]

Episode 5 was damn good. Seeing Rin with a lover that she actually cared about even though she lost her memory was nice. Apos is still a sadistic bastard and now we know his/her little secret and it was not pretty. I cant forgive that little bastard for what he did to my poor Rin, while Mimi watched and while waiting for Rin he raped Mimi probably repeatedly.

She actually went through a lot this episode and her regeneration still amazes me even after decades she managed to pull herself together. But in the end it was all for naught she didnt even get to properly talk to Mimi and they killed Genta not the dog that just sucked. But i was little confused that she didnt show more remorse over what happened to her lover but oh well.

Maenos has done quite well for himself and his daughter is a freakin handful. But I liked her she reminded me of Rin a little which is probably why she took such a liking to her. With her knowledge of technology im sure she would get along with Mimi too. The reunion was between the two was very nice but brief and ended with a little kiss that Rin said was only a dream i thought that scene was done quite nicely.

It is by no means over i cant wait to see how they bring Rin back to kick the shit out Apos. The red spore has to be the way for her to come back i cant think of anything else. Iv just really grown to hate Apos that tower of moaning women that he fed spores too was actually quite disturbing and he made a throne out of it. Hes no god just a sicko with some perverse fetishes.

Mimi's orgy was damn hott i guess she still needed to get some waiting for Rin to return after all these years but she has always been sexual it has just been with Rin so she expanded her horizons a bit. I was amazed they were able to formulate a battle plan while getin down. I went back and watched that scene again it was niiiiiccceee.

[cerrian]

Oddly, I've found myself to be extremely sympathetic to Mimi. It just breaks my heart watching her cry and having to suffer.
