mnemosyne eps 2 [ecchi]

Episode 2 takes place a year after the events in episode 1, also a year after Maeno joined Rin and Mimi. There’s a lot of detailed explanation in this episode, mostly about the immortals and its origins.

The little bubble above is called the Fruit of Immortality that is released by the volcanic cloud (still no explanation about it) where if it is taken by a female, then she will turn into an Immortal but it will change a male person to an Angel if he chooses to consume it. Angels are the natural enemies for the Immortals, in other words, angels are the only ones that could end the Immortals’ life. In the other way round, the Immortals are physically or sexually attracted to the Angels where they are supposed to avoid them. Lifespan for the Angels are very short that is around 2-3 weeks only. I forgot to introduce the remaining two characters from episode 1 that I thought didnt carry any major roles in the coming episodes - they are Eipos and Laura. There is not much info for Eipos until now, but from what I’ve already seen till episode 3, Eipos has control over the Immortals and the Angels as well. Laura is an assasin hired by some unknown individual or corporation to terminate Rin. Laura was badly hurt in a fight with Rin (I assume she almost died form her condition) in episode 1 but she was revived back by Eipos turning her into another Immortal.

Episode 2 - Angels Don’t Cry

This episode starts with a warm-up kissing scene between Rin and Mimi. There is two major cases in this episode, one is the Sutherland Stamp killer and the second one is about a young girl, Yuki that has an Angel as her brother. The Sutherland Stamp killer is an assasin that only accepts rare stamps like the Sutherland Stamp as his payment. He was killed by Shogo (Yuki’s brother), the Angel at the ending. Meanwhile Shogo became an Angel after consuming the Fruit of Immortality that he obtained from Eipos (no scenes showing Shogo and Eipos together though), so that he can terminate all the individuals that are going against him. At the end, Shogo was killed by RIn after some hot body contact with her.

Maeno and Yuki

Earlier in this show, there’s a fight between Rin and Laura, where Laura blew herself up together with Rin. Rin’s mutilated body regeneration was witnessed by Maeno where he was briefed by Mimi after that. And finally, the best part of this OVA, the ecchi scenes. As I have mentioned in the first episode review, there are some yuri or lesbian scenes (you can see what Mimi and Rin does) later in the show. Scenes below is between Rin and one of her informer.
