I don't have much for a blurb this time. Episode 3 is my favorite of the whole series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Chroniko :(

What is the community rewatch?: This is a place where /c/anime can watch and discuss older shows and movies on an episode by episode basis. Threads will occur every two days with the exception of movie episodes, which will have threads that span one week.

What are we watching: Kaiba

What’s it about: In a world where memories exist in memory chips separate from the body, death of the body no longer means death of the soul. It is possible for memories to be viewed, altered, and transferred between bodies. These memory chips are used by the rich to obtain eternal lives in carefully selected bodies, while for the poor, selling their own bodies and conserving their souls in the chips often become the only way to earn a living. An electrolytic cloud in the sky serves as a barrier between the heavens of the fortunate and the underworld of the destitute, making this social division impregnable.

One day, a man named Kaiba wakes up in an empty room with no memories, a mysterious hole in his chest, and a locket holding the picture of an unknown woman. After escaping an attack and stumbling upon a decrepit village of underworld residents, he begins his adventure across the different planets of this strange universe to find out more about his own identity and the woman he once knew.

Through a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, Kaiba weaves together tales of souls and spirits and explores the importance of memories.

    Ohhh I see. Chroniko's memories of her mother are completely distorted from the actual reality of her behaviour. That makes some sense, these are memory records and coloured by the perception of the person writing the memory. I hadn't even considered that would be the case here as I was treating it more as a factual flashback than a potentially warped memory.
