Also known as Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi (Daughters of Mnemosyne) and marketed in the United States as Rin -Daughters of Mnemosyne-, Mnemosyne is a six episode Urban Fantasy anime television series and light novel produced by Xebec that follows private investigator Rin Asougi, a member of the Always Female immortals, as she takes odd jobs and tries to avoid the mysterious connections to her past, while fighting against the sinister Always Male angels and their leader, Apos.All in all, the series is a seinen, featuring nigh everything older male audiences' hearts may desire: sexy girls, respectable guys, Mind Screw of a plot, alcohol, blood, and a considerable amount of sex in all flavors. Be prepared to wince a couple of times, though, as the series often blurs the line between its sex and violence, and fully exploits its main character's immortality to put her in situations that often lead to what would be the end of a horror story.Often confused for an OVA, thanks to its risque content, monthly airing rate, and modest episode number, when, in fact, it aired on AT-X network, whose tenth anniversary it was to commemorate.

Blind Without 'Em
 Mnemosyne / int_146f4e0
comment
Blind Without 'Em: Episode one hints that Rin had eye problems when she became immortal (and thus, can never be cured), so now she's forced to replace her Stoic Spectacles whenever they're destroyed. She seems to be able to see reasonably without them, but they're always the first things she goes for when retrieving her clothing.

Genre Shift

comment
Genre Shift: Mnemosyne can be broadly classified as an Urban Fantasy series, with the immortals, angels, and Yggdrasil existing in the background of a world that is Like Reality, Unless Noted, but the shift in the last three episodes, especially the closing duology, to a setting 20 Minutes in the Future turns it more into Science Fantasy.

Dressing as the Enemy: But not for the purpose of disguise; Rin's hospital gown gets completely destroyed when she's trapped in a facility in one episode, so she borrows the clothes of one of the two guards who she just killed. It fits surprisingly well.

Ominous Latin Chanting
 Mnemosyne / int_1fdaf8ff
comment
Ominous Latin Chanting: It's only soft, but since it was combined with the Ominous Pipe Organ, the Ominous Latin Chanting pretty much punctuates and intensifies the disturbing atmosphere of Apos raping Mimi while she is chained and nailed to a stone lamp post, revealing himself to be a hermaphrodite, and using Rin's own hand to dig her Time Spore out of her, all in the span of three minutes.

Chekhov's Boomerang
 Mnemosyne / int_21f3e32e
comment
Chekhov's Boomerang: A rather interesting case in episode three is that what the gun actually is isn't shown at all, and is only hinted at until The Reveal. Shogo's Time Spore is kept in a jewelry case next to some pictures of him. After Maeno leaves to save Rin, all that's shown is the empty case, though from the shape of the cushion, it becomes evident that whatever was in there was small and round. It's eventually used again when Rin takes it from Mishio... and EATS IT.

Sexual Karma: Most of the series' sex scenes are either transactional or non-consensual, and are portrayed as such. Rin's love scene with Tajimamori in the final episode is a thing of beauty that they both clearly enjoy.

Good Thing You Can Heal
 Mnemosyne / int_3456f3c5
comment
Good Thing You Can Heal: Immortals can bounce back from nearly anything: Rin variously survives and regenerates from being shot, tortured with a nailgun, blown up by a de facto suicide vest, and even being sucked through a jet engine, though it takes her 25 years to come back From a Single Cell that time, and she loses her memory until the next time she's "killed". The only surefire way to kill an immortal is to remove her time fruit, and if brought near the roots of Yggdrasil, the fruit itself will regrow them.

comment
Once an Episode: Rin, Mimi, and vodka threesome. This is not the case in episode five. Episode six plays with it- Rin asks for some water, before realizing she is in a castle and Mimi is nowhere to be seen. Rin getting maimed/killed, which is actually closer to thrice an episode on average. Also, Rin talking to He Who Must Not Be Seen on the phone, even after she gets amnesia. Though in that case, it was more of the phone line opening up so that He Who Must Not Be Seen can listen to her voice like some stalker. Yggdrasil showing up and shedding some Time Spores, with Rin and/or Mimi staring at the event for a couple of seconds. Averted in episode five, where the tree is only mentioned as a rumor/seen in the credits, and the only time spores shown are either from immortals, or already in the hands of Apos. Episode six makes this a borderline case. Laura showing up to shoot Rin full of holes then blowing herself up with Rin once that fails. She even starts using a sword in episode six. Lesbian sex scenes.

Blessed with Suck
 Mnemosyne / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: Being immortal is pretty nifty, overall, but there are a few issues: first, your body will always regenerate to the state it was in when you first became immortal. That's fine if the subject happen to receive the Seed of Yggdrasil while you're young and healthy, but if they do it while wounded, they must endure an eternity of suffering. Rin ends up as one of the last people on Earth to wear glasses (see below) since she was born with bad eyesight and attained her immortality millennia before corrective surgery - so if she had any now, her eyes would just heal back to their original, defective state. Second, and more importantly, immortal women become paralyzed with suicidal lust in the presence of angels... which normally results in them feeding themselves to the monster. The angels themselves, meanwhile, get a far rawer deal: they become flying, indestructible, superstrong monsters, but they also lose their sanity, essentially turn into animals interested in nothing except the consumption of immortal flesh and which are doomed to die and evaporate in a matter of hours.

Technology Marches On: In-Universe and Played for Laughs in Episode 2, where Mimi retorts Koki's remark about screwing up a computer job by saying "This is a top of the line 16-bit 40MHz CPU and 128MB of RAM with a 300MB hard drive with all the bells and whistles." They go from that, to Koki's granddaughter literally wearing virtual clothes in episode 5.

Rin fulfilled the trope when she went exploring air vents, but not with a traditional catsuit: She wore a black, skin-tight shirt and pants. The shirt had a zipper, and for added fanservice bared her midriff and did not feature a bra. She also dressed Kouki up in a similar but less fanservicey outfit.

Really 700 Years Old: May be literally so with some of the girls. Rin at one time even says that it has been centuries since she had a lover (although it also raises the question what Mimi is to her then). In fact, Rin is at least, a thousand years old in episode six while Mimi can't be much older than one and a half centuries - at the time Rin met her, she was already wearing her trademark killer suit which only went into fashion in the 20th century. That, and Mimi didn't know the person Rin met back in WWII.

Meaningful Name
 Mnemosyne / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: With a little knowledge of japanese, the Maeno (前, "in front of", 埜, "field, wilderness") family names suddenly start to make sense in context: Considering how closely tied to Rin's character and destiny the Maeno family ends up being, it's interesting to notice their names all correlate the owners to some important event or situation in Rin's life similar to what their name implies (Kouki showing Rin the bright side of life, Yuki raising Teruki alone, with Teruki later proving to be the initial trigger to Rin recovering her memories, and Mishio awakening Rin to the new and beautiful experience of parenthood). It's also interesting to note how the first kanji in their family name is precisely the kanji to indicate something in front of something else, alluding to the fact that they were always beside Rin, partly because of their destiny as descendants of Tajimamori.

Stalker with a Crush: Apos has a serious obsession with Rin, and of course, in his own 'special' way. He goes so far as to remodel Laura to look just like Rin and even rapes her even though she's a cyborg. Even after he claims to be just after her time spore, he doesn't just go out of his way to dig it out of her. He does just that in episode five, and using Rin's own hand to do it, too. Also, Ruon to Teruki in episode four.

Men Get Old, Women Get Replaced: Almost all recurring female characters being (or becoming) immortal. The lead characters Rin and Mimi are immortals and remain at the same physical age throughout the series' 65-year span, while their nameless female informants are replaced with their own younger apprentices after every Time Skip. Meanwhile, guys like Tamotsu, Maeno, and Teruki are allowed to reach venerable ages on-screen. The only obvious exception is the Big Bad Apos, but he is eventually revealed to be a hermaphrodite.

Big Bad: Apos, a mysterious angel who leads the Always Male angels, enemy of the Always Female immortals, and is the Arch-Enemy of Rin. He himself is actually a cross between angel and immortal. He manipulates the other villains Rin fights and seeks to secure a permanent position as Guardian of Yggdrasil by feeding Rin to it, then turn all men and women into angels and immortals to spark worldwide war, purely For the Evulz.

Spy Catsuit: Sort of. Laura's standard outfit is a black catsuit, but it's not particularly tight, so it's more badass than fanservicey. (Except for one brief, inexplicable shot where it was unzipped enough to show off her cleavage.) Rin fulfilled the trope when she went exploring air vents, but not with a traditional catsuit: She wore a black, skin-tight shirt and pants. The shirt had a zipper, and for added fanservice bared her midriff and did not feature a bra. She also dressed Kouki up in a similar but less fanservicey outfit.

Being immortal is pretty nifty, overall, but there are a few issues: first, your body will always regenerate to the state it was in when you first became immortal. That's fine if the subject happen to receive the Seed of Yggdrasil while you're young and healthy, but if they do it while wounded, they must endure an eternity of suffering. Rin ends up as one of the last people on Earth to wear glasses (see below) since she was born with bad eyesight and attained her immortality millennia before corrective surgery - so if she had any now, her eyes would just heal back to their original, defective state. Second, and more importantly, immortal women become paralyzed with suicidal lust in the presence of angels... which normally results in them feeding themselves to the monster.

Subverted in that even if she didn't forget everything, she probably wouldn't even know that the two of them were connected. Then again, it could probably be just some Angel Time Spore that fell into the water. When Rin eats the time spore in episode 6, it's revealed that the spore was indeed Maeno's Time Spore and not just some random spore.

Bait-and-Switch Credits: The last portion of the opening credits shows Rin, alone and in the buff, leaning on a pillar in the middle of mossy ruins, with a swarm of angels descending on her in a buildup to a Bolivian Army Ending. This never happens, since the closest thing to that doesn't happen amidst ruins - the castle is still very intact - and Rin is screwing Tajimamori; therefore, she is neither alone nor standing.

Laura showing up to shoot Rin full of holes then blowing herself up with Rin once that fails. She even starts using a sword in episode six.

No Name Given: Though a university lecture in episode five hints on the identity and name of the bearded man who Rin talks to on the phone Once an Episode, it's only revealed in episode six. Also, Apos' immortal 'opponent'/bound slave whenever he's playing chess. In episode five, it's hinted that she is actually Laura, and that the Laura that tries to kill Rin Once an Episode is an android being remote-controlled by her. The show loves toying with this: none of the informants are ever named on-screen, and Laura's name is only given in episode six (unless you watched the trailer or the credits).

Taking You with Me: Laura does this a lot, but never succeeds due to both parties usually being immortal. Subverted on one occasion. Rin runs away after seeing Laura's explosive vest, so Laura simply takes it off and throws it after her.

Spoiler Opening: Subverted by the Root of Yggdrasil. Although in the opening credits, it appears with Rin, Mimi, and Laura at the top, it's Apos and Laura who end up topping it off. We also see all of the Maenos, as well as Sayara and both of the informants, however none of these really register until you've seen them in the episodes proper.

A God Am I: Apos proclaims himself God at the end of Episode 5, since he is both man and woman, both angel and immortal. He was preceded by his father, Tajimamori, and succeeded by Rin. Presumably, anybody who becomes Guardian of Yggdrasil qualifies for this.

Contrived Coincidence
 Mnemosyne / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: As of episode five, Rin and Mimi have gotten involved with three generations of Maeno. Then again, it might not be coincidental, as Rin has been acting as Teruki's Mysterious Protector ever since his father died. A more proper example would be Rin finding Maeno's Time Spore after getting shredded by a jet engine and spending 25 years at the bottom of the sea. Naturally, it's no coincidence, since all Maenos are direct descendants of Tajimamori, Rin's immortal secret benefactor and lover (and former Guardian of Yggdrassil).

Not Quite Dead: Presumably, unless their Time Spores are eaten/stepped on/whatever, immortals can regenerate entirely from just them. This probably explains how Rin survived after what happened in Episode five. Angels aren't so lucky, though. The immortal who survives a nuclear explosion at ground zero in episode six.

Rin getting maimed/killed, which is actually closer to thrice an episode on average. Also, Rin talking to He Who Must Not Be Seen on the phone, even after she gets amnesia. Though in that case, it was more of the phone line opening up so that He Who Must Not Be Seen can listen to her voice like some stalker.

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Amongst other catches, when you become immortal, your current physical state is recorded, and you will forever return to it. Bad vision? You can't fix it with surgery. Virginity? You will be deflowered each time. Dying of grievous wounds in extreme pain? Prepare for more pain. Though Rin and Mimi don't seem to mind and find odd jobs to do to pass the time.
