About RIN ~Daughters of Mnemosyne~

Here is what RIN ~Daughters of Mnemosyne~ (Mnemosyne－ムネモシュネの娘たち－) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, ecchi and horror anime by Xebec (2008). At its core: Rin Asogi is an immortal private detective with a thirst for vodka and a talent for attracting things that go bump in the night. In a series of nightmarish vignettes spanning sixty-five years, Rin's lush body is sadistically pierced, blown up, and mulched to a bloody pulp.

As things develop, the fiend behind her tortured existence is Apos, an eternal being obsessed with sacrificing Rin to Yggdrasil, the tree of all life. While Rin struggles to unravel the buried truths of her endless agony, Apos lurks in the shadows, eager to tear into her ripe body and devour the memories of her countless lives. Rin's no stranger to the realm of the dead, but her next visit could last forever.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Laura (Sayaka Oohara) and Mimi (Rie Kugimiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 6 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
