RIN Daughters of Mnemosyne
- Other Reviews
Rin runs a successful private investigation agency in Tokyo with her partner Mimi. Together they hunt for missing people or pets and sometimes end up in dangerous situations. It's alright though because Rin is an immortal and cannot die.
In fact, this six-episode anime takes place over close to a decade. Everyone but Rin and Mimi (she's an immortal too) age. Of course, they look like they're in their twenties and are as hot as can be. The anime isn't afraid to show some skin either. Make that a lot of skin actually. I'd say each episode is one part action, one part sex, and one part conversation. It's fine when it's relevant to the story but randomly throwing in crotch shots and lesbian adventures is a bit too much I'd say.
QUALITY:
It's your typical anime so the quality is pretty consistent throughout. The "time spores" have a slight 3D effect on them different from the anime but other than that, it's looks pretty much the same, whether you watch it on Blu-ray or DVD. The audio quality is decent as well. I especially enjoyed the opening and ending credits' music.
BONUS FEATURES:
Commentary, Cast Interviews, Promotional Videos, Textless Songs, English Trailers.
Overall, it can be difficult to recommend an anime on Blu-ray because the quality is probably going to be close to the same as you would see on the DVD. RIN is the same way. It looks good but there's nothing spectacular about it. Definitely watch an episode or two before you decide to make a purchase as it's not for everyone either.
