Oi, mate, saw your post about Wind of Amnesia, and bloody hell, I'm frothing at the mouth to rant about this one. First off, good luck finding that novel without wading through a cesspool of dodgy sites and pop-up casino scams. I've been there, and it’s a right pain in the arse. If you find a clean link to the Japanese version or a fan translation, hit me up, cos I’m dying to see how the source stacks up against this mad anime.
Now, let’s talk Wind of Amnesia. This anime’s got a cracking setup—post-apoc world, memory-wiping wind, humanity gone feral. It’s like someone took a sledgehammer to society and left us to pick up the pieces. The vibes are top-notch, and I’ll admit, it’s a solid show despite its flaws. But mate, those flaws? They’re like a kick to the nads when you’re already down.
Killing off Sue was a straight-up gut punch. She had that Cosmo energy from Sonic X—plucky, full of heart, ready to throw herself back into danger to save another girl from that dodgy “god” Mech scam. And what do they do? Let her die in the crossfire like she’s nothing. Wasted potential doesn’t even cover it. If Wataru had just popped a cap in that memory-lost tribe leader’s arse right at the start of the fight, maybe Sue would’ve made it. But nah, he waits till the bloody end to take down the Mech, and by then, Sue’s gone. What a load of bull.
Then there’s Lisa. A scientist, a bloody genius who could’ve been the key to unraveling this whole mess, maybe even cracking the code on Eternal Town’s AI overlord. But what do they do with her? Turn her into a sobbing mess, stuck in that creepy city, chasing memories of her dad. She had the brains to change the game, but her arc got shafted cos she couldn’t break free from the AI’s grip or her own tears. Leaving her behind in Eternal Town? That’s not just dropping the ball—that’s yeeting it into the void.
And don’t get me started on Wataru and Sophia. That could’ve been the romance of the century, mate. Sophia’s got this Griffith-level mystique—alien, enigmatic, pulling strings while wrestling with her own conscience. Their chemistry was screaming for a proper arc, something to make you root for them. But nope, it’s all half-baked, left dangling like the rest of the plot. #WataruXSophia deserved better, full stop.
The whole memory-wiping wind thing? Wild concept, but they barely scratched the surface of the lore. Who are Sophia’s people? What’s their deal? Why’d they think wiping humanity’s slate was a fair dinkum idea? We need more on that alien race, their motives, their tech—give us the full bloody picture!
Despite all this, I can’t hate the anime. It’s got this haunting, raw energy that sticks with you, like a post-apoc fever dream. But it’s screaming for either a sequel or a full-on reboot. Picture it: a continuation where humanity’s memories come back, Sue and Lisa return like the legends they are, Wataru and Sophia get their proper love story, and we dive deep into the alien lore. Or scrap it and reboot the whole thing—same vibe, better execution, no loose ends.
So yeah, I’m with you on hunting that novel, but I’m also here yelling into the void: #SaveSue, #SaveLisa, #SaveCosmo, #WataruXSophia. This anime’s too good to be left in the dust. Let’s make some noise and demand it gets the ending—or the redo—it bloody deserves.
