I have watched through the animation series “Kaiba”. Kaiba means “hippocampus” in Japanese, and it is a story related to memories with melancholic senses. The pictures resemble that of Japanese cartoonists such as Osamu Tezuka, Fujio Akatsuka, Fujio Fujiko, Sensha Yoshida and so on. However, the expressions are more grotesque than any of the cartoonists. In the story, memories are digitalized and stored. They are easily modifiable. All the problems that are predictable for such societies arise.
By the way, explaining memories themselves often gains a power by itself. For example, in John Hersey’s “HIROSHIMA” (there are a lot of versions), most parts are composed of memories of six atomic bomb survivors. Those memories definitely contributed to a progress of an atmosphere for prohibitions of nuclear weapons.
