Version(s) Viewed: VHS, Japanese with English subtitlesĪ Wind Named Amnesia © 1993 Kikuchi Hideyuki / Asahi Sonorama / Right Stuf Office / Japan Home Video Older audiences would probably really enjoy this title, though. The themes of this title would probably not be appreciated by a younger audience. Recommended Audience: Graphic violence and a sex scene are present, although none of it could be considered gratuitous. A Wind Named Amnesia is probably one of the best titles I've never heard of. If you are in the mood for a cerebral anime with a healthy dose of visual effects, this title is a sure bet. And the ending, while open-ended, leaves plenty of room for extra thought and consideration on the part of the viewer even after the tape has been rewound and put back in its box. The initial mystery of what has happened to Earth is quickly offset by a greater question: what are humans in general? The story is skillfully woven, employing characters that the viewer can really believe and relate to. A Wind Named Amnesia is one of the few sci-fi anime titles I've seen that I can honestly classify as true science fiction (Gunbuster and the Patlabor movies are two other examples). Nature scene, fight scene, action sequence - every scene has its place, artfully executed and captivatingly done, accompanied by a rousing orchestral score on par with any western release on the silver screen. Although the initial premise seems outlandish, the way this film portrays the aftermath of the bizarre amnesia wind will have you suspending your disbelief in no time.
The art and animation are done in a realistic, detailed style that adds to the title's credibility.
