Akiyuki is an Ordinary High-School Student who lives with his two best friends Haru and Furuichi on Sentan Island, a neutral zone while the North and South governments wage war. That is, until he gets caught in a terrorist bomb attack. The bomb itself comes in the form of a white haired girl, and the explosion implants a gem into Akiyuki's arm, which forcibly transforms him into a Xam'd, a humanoid creature. Nakiami, a mysterious and emotionless young woman, takes Akiyuki into her care in order to help him control his newfound power, forcing Akiyuki to leave his home and friends behind.Meanwhile, every day life is torn asunder in Sentan Island as the Mainsoul Military takes over to stop the Humanform Weapons from wreaking havoc, but unknown to most they are doing secret experiments involving the very monsters they're trying to stop. Haru and Furuichi have both joined the military, albeit for different reasons. While Furuichi wants to protect their island, Haru is hoping to reunite with Akiyuki.Xam'd: Lost Memories (亡念のザムド Bounen no Zamned) is produced by Studio BONES and shares some similarities to Eureka Seven, BONES's previous creation. It offers a deep and involved plot with detailed art and a rich setting.Notably, it first came available for download on the PS3 in North America, months before it became available in Japan- unfortunately, the translation was very sloppy as noted below. It is now also being broadcast by the Anime Network and distributed by Section 23 Films' Sentai Filmworks imprint in America. | |

Blessed with Suck: Congratulations, you're a Xam'd! You've got Super-Strength, Voluntary Shapeshifting, inhuman agility, and enough biological weaponry to demolish a city. Damn shame that you can't use any of it for more than a few seconds without running the risk of suffering Loss of Identity / going Ax-Crazy / getting Taken for Granite / all three in no particular order. Oh, and there's an ungodly powerful Eldritch Abomination who wants to pick a fight with you. Good luck with that. | |

To add to this, the Humanform Weapons' Frickin' Laser Beams evoke this. They have special organs on their bodies, called "spores" that resemble eyes, which eject from the body and self-destruct, turning into powerful beams. Small Humanforms usually have 2, however, when we see a man missing his left eye transform into one, we see that the left spore is also missing. That's right, the spores that pop out and burn up to fire the Frickin' Laser Beams... are their EYES! | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Xam'd: Lost Memories / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending - Large portion of the world dedicated itself through centuries of ritualistic sacrifices to seal the Emperor's sorrow with a giant laser, but wait; Akiyuki was sent on a journey to fight the Dark Emperor to save the day. And he did. The day was won. The wrath of the Emperor is forever silenced and peace can return to the land without having Nakiami seal herself for a millennium. And then Nakiami seals herself which leads to Akiyuki and The Emperor to be blasted by previously said laser. And apparently everybody survive, including Akiyuki who inexplicably resurrected himself 7 years post facto. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The dub of Xam'd is rife with typos, missing context, and plot-relevant terms getting translated differently every time they're used, making it difficult to follow the plot. "One more red mark (akaboshi) and I'll get disciplinary training." -> "Akaboshi's disciplinary committee's coming by again!" "Don't be stupid. We purged those a long time ago." -> "Don't even joke about that. I don't want to be purged..." "It's a 3 hour wait at the military hospital. You'd be long dead before the examination." -> "They always glare at you before examination." | |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You | |
| Xam'd: Lost Memories / int_9b73b497 | comment |
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: More accurately, 'The Only One Allowed To Defeat Me'. When Kujireika interrupts his duel with Akiyuki by trying to kill him, the Hiruken Emperor makes his feelings on the matter abundantly clear. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Kakisu loves his Missing Mom, who we meet later on. She plays an important part in getting the plot back on the road after Akiyuki's Heroic BSoD, and ironically everyone (except her) thinks her son dies in the Battle of Barador. | |

Eye Scream | |
| Xam'd: Lost Memories / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: Ryuuzou (Akiyuki's dad) gets his eye slashed by Kakisu (we see relatively little detail, but from the amount of blood, the eyeball itself may have been cut open, if not in half(!)) near the series' end. Suffice to say, next time we see him, he has only one. To add to this, the Humanform Weapons' Frickin' Laser Beams evoke this. They have special organs on their bodies, called "spores" that resemble eyes, which eject from the body and self-destruct, turning into powerful beams. Small Humanforms usually have 2, however, when we see a man missing his left eye transform into one, we see that the left spore is also missing. That's right, the spores that pop out and burn up to fire the Frickin' Laser Beams... are their EYES! | |

Improbable Age: The southern military recruits and trains 16 year olds to be military pilots of highly advanced and deadly mecha suits, apparently as routine. May be seen as plausible given that a war has just started (and some modern countries recruit at that age in peacetime), but they are also being sent out in the field with hardly any training. | |

Expy: Nakiami's resemblance to Nausicaa from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and San from Princess Mononoke. The Furuichi-Akiyuki-Haru trio resembles the main characters from Kingdom Hearts. The entire main cast appears to be primarily based on that of Eureka Seven. It's practically a 1:1 match-up. Haru bears a striking resemblance to Shion Arita, who was Birdy Cephon Altera's alter ego in Birdy the Mighty: Decode. | |
