RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne

Mildly intriguing series has immortal women running a detective agency. The nudity, sex and gore seem to exist entirely for prurience rather than because they are intrinsic to the story being told. That's fine, but the story is not being told that well, and there were too many times where I wasn't clear on what was going on. At times this feels like a series written for people who already know the story being told.

The most interesting aspect of the series is that since the main characters are immortal, episodes can take place years apart and we can see their friend's and peers age with each episode.

This series occasionally exhibits a little cleverness, and at times it's cheesy sex and violence formula works pretty well, as in the initial episode when a woman apparently dressed in nothing but a trench coat is chased by a gun wielding woman. Enough things work that I did watch the whole series, but enough things don't work that if I could go back in time and redo my decision I would skip it.

I'm sure lots of people don't like this anime because it simply pushes the limits of content, such as blood, violence, sex, nudity, etc. If you're looking for a new, unique anime, that's really violent, then this anime is for you!

During the first minute of the first episode, I fell in love right away. I'm tired of all the cliché, angry-teacher-dumb-schoolgirl anime shows, or any anime that's all upbeat and cute, and simply drop dead corny. This show was screaming out my name. A unique, epic female lead who knows karate and other awesome fighting moves - just what I needed. I enjoyed the show's brutality, the characters, and the story, and the art.

Highly recommended!

I Just Watch RIN Daughters of Mnemosyne And Was Grate I Love Anime That Has Horror In it Just A Grate Show But I Wish It Had More Episodes...

Even with the outstanding blend of different storytelling genres, explicit sexuality and violence, "Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne" is one of the more unique and original Anime' series I've ever seen. The story is confusing and deliberately so, yet everything that goes on does eventually tie into the bigger picture later on. Despite the many red flags going up here, you won't be able to take your eyes off it.

So If You Like Anime That Has Horror In It Check Out This Show

11/10

When I started the show I wasn't sure if I should continue or not so I watched it anyway it. The story was kind of confusing at some times but at the end it was explained what was going on and the ending was pretty good I for sure this show is clearly not for children there was so much nudity and parts that shown people having sex it felt like it wasn't needed so I skipped most of the parts that didn't have anything to do with the story. This show is kind of hard to know if your going to like it or not just by watching the first episode but if you do decide why not and give it a try you may like it if not then who cares. Over all it was a pretty good story didn't really need all of the nudity in it and the story was a little confusing but if you watch the show all the way through it will explain what happened. If you have the time and want to give it a show I say why not try it.

This series is definitely unique, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, I did enjoy it though. It was hard to follow in some places, confusing in others, and just freaking weird all around.

The series revolves around Rin Asogi, a immortal P.I. who keeps getting tangled up in a supernatural conspiracy that involves her more than she knows.

There is a lot of weird twists and turns in the story that honestly keep you confused, even after the end. After watching it once, I suggest you watch it a second time, just to get a better understanding. The thing I like most about this series though is that it jumps right into this "world" and doesn't waste time with character development or how everything works, it just lets you figure it out on your own.

I read somewhere that it is a "Tech-Noir" series, I don't know exactly what that means but what I think it means is that even though it's not in the 40's-50's it still holds a Film Noir mood and it does feel like an old mystery movie.

Throughout the whole series there is intense female nudity and graphic bondage, and rape that isn't put in subtly, but it all ties into the plot so it's not just put in there for fun.

Finally, I add that you will either love this series or get so confused you don't like it. But I suggest you watch it, cause it is shockingly original and it's pretty awesome in it's own way.
