Anime 53835 Unnamed Memory Reviews Filter Check 1

Amidst the bustling landscape of this season's anime offerings, Unnamed Memory stands out as a beacon of promise, particularly for those seeking a romantic escape into the world of fantasy.

The tale begins with a cursed prince, burdened by an evil enchantment that threatens to shroud his life in perpetual darkness. He embarks on a perilous journey to ascend a foreboding tower to seek reprieve, where the key to lifting his curse supposedly lies. But as fate would have it, his path converges with that of a mysterious witch whose enigmatic presence promises both salvation and uncertainty.

As the prince navigates the trials within the tower, each ... challenge brings him closer to the witch, culminating in a pivotal moment where he extends a proposal unlike any other: to share his life with her for a year. It's a proposition steeped in desperation and hope, setting the stage for a captivating romance transcending fate's boundaries.

While Unnamed Memory leans more towards a serious and romantic tone, it doesn't hesitate to inject moments of fun and humor into the narrative. Amidst the earnest exchanges and heartfelt confessions, there are glimpses of lightheartedness that balance the weight of the character's emotional journey.

Moreover, the anime tantalizes viewers with the promise of intriguing backstories and potential antagonists, hinting at a deeper layer of conflict and action that awaits. The story unfolds deliberately with each episode, allowing for meticulous character development and world-building that lay the foundation for future revelations.

Though Unnamed Memory may not yet claim the title of masterpiece, its measured approach to storytelling and commitment to gradual progression instills a sense of anticipation and curiosity in its audience. As the season unfolds, one can't help but wonder where this enchanting journey will ultimately lead and whether it will indeed emerge as a standout gem among this season's anime lineup.

Unnamed Memory is one of the prime example of "you don't have to be original to be good",this anime used an already mainstream trope and combined it into something enjoyable.

Verily, a cursed nobleman did seek aid from a greater power, this time a witch, fair and beautiful, dwelling in a tower bathed in the silver light of the moon. Those who conquered this tower were granted a single wish. The cursed nobleman conquer the task, and the fair witch, upon seeing his success, did ask, "What is thy wish?"

To this, the nobleman replied, "Pray, lift this wretched curse from me, that I may be able ... to sire offspring." The witch, in her wisdom, replied, "Thy curse seems too burdensome to undo in an instant. Only a strong woman may bear thy child."

The nobleman then inquired, "Would thee perish if thou bear my child?" To which the witch replied, "Nay,i'd get pregnant ." Thus began the nobleman's journey, seeking to rid himself of his curse or to win the heart of the fair witch.

"Unnamed Memory" is a slow-burn romance fantasy action that succeeds in not becoming boring. It doesn't feature overpowered characters, just strong ones who can get hurt, be tricked, and even have their mana sucked while having a wet dream.

The series also manages to portray that the stiff and flat-faced prince doesn't always have to be an arrogant and unfeeling bastard. In every episode, he's eager to marry the heroine despite several rejections.

Moreover, it demonstrates that immortal strong characters don't always have to be stiff, boring, and pessimistic creatures. The witch is friendly and actually acts like a human being; she can blush, get mad, feel sorry, and perhaps even fall in love.

The animation is decent, the fight scenes are well-animated, and the opening song is beautiful.

Overall, if you enjoy fantasy romance slow burns and also enjoy crying yourself to sleep knowing that you can never have an immortal witch wife, give this one a try.

Unnamed Memory is one of those occasional romance/fantasy anime that don't lean into any pre-existing tropes, making it a breath of fresh air to watch. At the time of writing this review, only 3 episodes have been released, but it has been a very enjoyable watch so far.

Since the synopsis pretty much says what I would have written for the summary anyway, I won't be repeating it. The anime does indeed explore how Tinasha, the witch, and Oscar, the prince, experience their time together due to the contract stating that they would live together for one year, with Oscar constantly trying to get Tinasha to ... marry him. This results in a very wholesome anime with many hints of both romance and comedy, a duo that can never go wrong. Additionally, I felt that these three episodes so far have been very content-rich, meaning that the watch felt satisfying and wasn't just a lazy exposition dump- something that's increasingly hard to find in modern anime.

Now, it would be a disgrace to not talk about the amazing action scenes in episode 2. While it might not have been extremely long, the animation of the fight scenes were gorgeous. The crisp lighting effects of the spells used by Tinasha, the vibrant colors present throughout the entirety of the fight, and the fast-paced action all served to greatly enhance the watching experience. While we're on the topic of animation, the character designs all felt pretty fresh, especially the designs of the witches.

Quickly moving on the music, both the opening and ending themes have a very slow and relaxing tempo, making it a calming prelude to a calming show. This highlights what I think your expectations watching this show should be. In my opinion, you shouldn't watch this show expecting a nail-biting thriller leaving you on the edge of your seat, but rather a soothing anime that helps you wind down and relax.

Overall, Unnamed Memory hits all the right spots for me, making it so that even though it doesn't really stand out in any way, it does everything it has to right, making this a solid must-watch for me.
