Wind Named Amnesia...
Sometime ago, I picked up the VHS version of Wind Named Amnesia...
The concept is fairly interesting, but, the novelty wears off fairly quickly. I used to have the dubbed VHS version. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive. I gave Wind Named Amnesia a 0 out of 5.
No one could have prepared for it; it came silently, sweeping across the earth. And everyone it touched forgot... everything. Who they were, how to speak, how to use all the implements of modern civilization. The amnesia wind swept away all of mankind's knowledge and thousands of years of human civilization vanished in an instant.
Now, two years later, a young man wanders the landscape of an America reduced to barbarism. Miraculously re-educated after the disaster, he searches for the true heart of mankind... and for those responsible for stealing its memories. Accompanied by a mysterious woman who was somehow spared the wind's damage, he embarks on a coast-to-coast journey of danger and discovery pursued by a relentless killing machine.
Featuring the collaborative efforts of Kazuo Yamazaki (Urusei Yatsura 4 - Lum the Forever), Hicleyuki Kikuchi (Demon City Shinjuku), Taro Rin (Harmagedon), and Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Demon City Shinjuku and Wicked City), A Wind Named Amnesia is an action-packed mystery set in a world gone mad where humans, reduced to the level of cavemen, struggle to survive in the ruins of the modern world.
