- GoofsIn the three tales anthology segment, Cannon Fodder, depicts a city with numerous windows amid very large cannons. Oversized cannons generally blow out window panes.

Featured review
Scifi three story anthology
So there are three stories: Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder.
The last one is a very direct and slap over the head story about a nation that runs for the only purpose of loading a cannon and firing at an enemy nation that supposedly does the same. Magnetic Rose is a pure sci-fi story in a space setting about the power of memories, pretty well animated and with terrific atmosphere. I would argue that, as annoying as the characters were, Stink Bomb was the best one, deliciously satirizing the Japanese social, political and military structure as a hapless idiot tries to escape the terrifying cloud of gas that he is unwittingly generating.
All in all, a wonderful and entertaining retreat into real storytelling and animation art.
