Manie-Manie and Memories not only share the same format of three unrelated short stories, but are also very similar in feel and content. Each story finds its counterpart in the other set: 'Magnetic Rose' and 'The Running Man' are psychological scifi thrillers; 'Order To Stop Construction' and 'Stink Bomb' both tragicomic, sprawling techno-fantasies; and the rather different, but abstract and experimental animation of 'Labyrinth Labyrinthos' and 'Cannon Fodder'. You're certain to get a great deal from both these animes.

Both of these are short collection of stories with a sci-fi feel. Indeed, you probably will enjoy at least one part of each of these trilogies, so I highly recommend watching. ^_^. Great animation and feel.

Both Memories and Neo Tokyo contain three short movies (which are almost interconnected). Some of them are hard to understand and some of them have no storyline but both anime are fun to watch, and each has a hidden main idea. As there are so many parts I'm sure some of them will please you. Anyways, it's worth watching both anime because the drawing style is unique and really good.

Both Memories and Neo Tokyo are a compilation feature of three very different stories, covering a range of animation and storytelling styles, but with a very high quality of production all around.

Robot Carnival

Robot Carnival main image

This collection is comprised of 7 very different and unique stories. This OVA series preaches of intriquing storylines and fantastic artwork, each from a different artist. Each story has a different interpretation or concept about the one theme upon which this collection revolves: Robots. This interesting anime classic has least one story for everyone.

Both Robot Carnival and Memories are collections of shorts by various directors based on a common theme (Robots and Memories for each title, respectively). In both titles the directors’ interpretation of the theme ranges from the humorous to the dramatic to the thought-provoking. Because the various sketches are so different, it is hard to unconditionally recommend either of these anime to fans of the other, but if you enjoyed seeing the various interpretations and visual styles directors used in one of these titles, you will find more of the same in the other. Notably, the sketches in Memories are much longer, but lesser in number.
sothis
Robot Carnival and Memories are both a collection of short stories. The plots? Not very similar. Robot Carnival is a collection about.. you guessed it! Robots... while Memories is 3 longer stories which are totally unrelated, but all captivating. If you liked watching a collection, you'll like both of these, since both are FANTASTIC animations.

This is another MASTERPIECE of anime. If you looked at Robot Carnival for it's shere glory and interesting sets, you will like the 3 stories from Memories. They are overwhelmingly well done.

Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror

Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror main image

The dark and brooding Ayakashi is composed of three horror stories: the narration of a young woman named Oiwa who was abandoned and betrayed by the one she truly loved, leading her to curse all who stood in her way; a story of two star-crossed lovers – a human and a forgotten god – and their struggle to have a future together; and the tale of an evil and malicious demon who is haunting and murdering a family for unknown purposes. Though different in animation style and tone, each story shares a similar theme: the darkness of the human heart.

Both Ayakashi and Memories are a selection of three short stories told within their own genres. Both aim to examine these chosen themes through different types of animation for each short story, and are good introductions to either love or malice.

ZenithAstrali

Memories and Ayakashi are both short series of three stories. Although different in setting, style and feeling, both of them are intriguing and can keep you wondering about what's going to happen next.

chii

Each anime has several different stories within their genre. Memories takes on the sci-fi part where Ayakashi takes on horror. Both are sure to please if you are interested in either genre and just wanting to sit down for a quick story that will leave you satisfied.

If you like the first ep of Memories you'll probably like Perfect Blue (and th eother way around). Though while Perfect Blue plays in real time, the first ep of memories plays in the future.

The director of Perfect Blue, Satoshi Kon, wrote the screenplay for Memories. Both films are similarly deep-thinking and imagery-rich films.

Last Exile

If you liked the third and last ep of Memories, but if you are looking for more, check out Last Exile. Both play in the industrial age, but while Memories is quite unclear, you;'ll get alot better idea what's happening in Last Exile. If you liked the Last Exile and are looking for something deeper, though shorter, check out the third ep of Memories.
