I just want to use this week’s thread to give a PSA: don’t watch Unnamed Memory. It’s bad
Okay, but what is bad about it?
1st half starts fine. 2nd half, it becomes very clear that they’ve skipped a lot of world building, plot development and character development. Some of the world building that is only told, is not shown at all. If anything, the opposite is shown, making some events hard to believe. Characters’ actions/motivations are sudden and only explained afterwards with no proper setup.
Aside from that, they’re speeding through the plot so hard. It’s not even rushed anymore. It may as well be a summary of the story, especially the latest 2-3 eps. What would usually be climactic arcs fit for the final episodes are done 1 episode. Things just happen like they’re going through bullet points in a power point presentation instead of presenting the actual content.
It sounds like you liked the source material.
Sorry it got a bad adaptation.
I don’t know the source material actually. I don’t know what they skipped, but it’s very clear they did because things just don’t make sense.
