While most of the characters can’t talk and have primitive states, I do wonder how much humanity is that different despite being more intelligent and I’m just going to leave it at that. Rediscovering this movie especially in these tense times got me thinking. They travel around this ruined America to get to their location while meeting people along the way while also fending off danger from Guardian robots and some violent neo-neanderthals killing people on site. They start out in San Francisco, California and they have to got to the destination of New York City. He meets a mysterious woman named Sophia who travels with them. There was one human living in America named Wataru who managed to learn language, social skills, and survival skills who travels around the wastelands. Humanity becomes savage and millions of people die by this primitive society. Two years prior to the events of the movie, a great wind blew all over the earth which wiped out the memories of billions of humans to the point where they have the emotional and intellectual equivalent of a newborn baby. Is this an unforgettable anime movie or something that should be forgotten because of a mysterious wind?Ī Wind Named Amnesia takes place in the year 1999, but the world has become a terrifying wasteland. I remember hearing the name of that movie as I was very intrigued by the concept. While I wasn’t as nostalgic for this movie, I did manage to see it a few years ago when I got back into anime. There were multiple things available to stream that I remember watching when I was younger, so I know this website was a nostalgia trip in and of itself. Looking at the movies and series available, I was certainly impressed with the overall selection. Besides those goals, I had heard about this RetroCrush place a while ago, but never got to experience the site as much.

I completed one of my challenges with this post. Does anyone want to make jokes involving a certain Robin Hood character or even a rapper (Okay, he’s Lil’ Jon, but that’s besides the point)? Hilarious in Hindsight: That large man the main characters meet in Los Angeles goes by the name Little John. In a world full of primitive savages, the meaning of her name becomes quite apparent in this film. Language Bonus: Sophia is a name based on the Greek word of “Wisdom”. One of the composers was Kazuhiko Toyama who contributed music for the likes of Cyber City Oedo 808, New Cutie Honey, and Tekken: The Motion Picture. Outside of anime, she is the official Japanese dubbing voice for Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, and she was the dub voice of Sally Carrerra in the Cars movies. Some of her anime voice acting portfolio involves playing Matilda from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, Osono from Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Yukinari from Pokemon 4Ever. Her acting career started when she was only in the 5th grade. Sophia was voiced in the Japanese version by Keiko Toda. Outside of that, he has contributed art and animation to Speed Racer, Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets/G-Force/Eagle Riders), and even some of the Final Fantasy games. It was illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano who also co-created Vampire Hunter D. It was written by Hideyuki Kikuchi who also created Vampire Hunter D, Demon City Blues, and Wicked City. A Wind Named Amnesia is based on a book of the same name that was published in 1983. A Wind Named Amnesia is streaming on RetroCrush. The Japanese version was used for this review, but I’ve seen it dubbed in the past. ![]() AKA: Kaza no Na wa Amnesia, The Wind of Amnesiaįor Fans Of: Mad Max, Total Recall, Akira, Green Legend Ran, Wicked City, Fist of the North Star, Demon City Shinjuku, Suikoden Demon Century, Battle Angel
