Memories reminds me of what you picture in your mind when you read good science fiction short stories in a magazine from the 60s or 70s brought to life in beautiful animation.
The animation on each short film is a 10/10. Each of the three stories has a different style, with the third being the most distinct. There was obviously a lot of care that went into each frame and it show. The music is a 9/10, its fully orchestrated, has great range, and sounds amazing. The plots of the short films aren't quite as good as the animation and music quality. I would give the plots of each short film a 8/10, 7/10, and 6/10 respectively. The first short film has an amazing plot from start to end. The second story is interesting, but drags on for a little too long. The third story has the opposite problem, it builds up a very cool setting, but doesn't quite go into enough explanation.
Its hard to see how anyone who likes sci-fi wouldn't rate this at least an 8/10, and personally its a 9/10. Even if you just like anime and aren't into sci-fi as much, this is still a solid watch.
