Yeah I have to agree, the main dude was totally annoying. And how in the world did he get in that space suit?! :/ Other than that though, I really loved this title.

The Greatest weapon ever made, like we didn't know BO can't be deadly!.

Well Nobuo is kinda stupid and a total idiot not to notice he is the cause of all the comotion mostly when everyone is dropping dead at your sight and getting bombarded, still they could try to communicate with him instead throwing all they got at him.

Anyway I got a good laugh

Yeah, it's basically an anime version of Dr. Strangelove, only if Dr. Strangelove were less cleverly-written, less funny, and had a plot consisting almost entirely of contrivances. It wasn't bad, but nowhere near as good as Magnetic Rose.

I predicted the last scene wich was,for me at least,the only funny thing in the whole episode.I don't know how to rate this part.Seriously...was it supposed to be funny?The direction was almost brilliant but the whole thing felt pointless.If it was just magnetic rose I would gladely give it a 10.Well,let's watch cannon fodder...

I liked the concept and all, but I have to agree that the stupidity of the protagonist made it painful to watch.
Not as good as the first one imo.

This episode was hilarious. You are all really dumb to not be able to understand that the director wanted to make the MC as dumb as possible. This whole episode was just comedy, unlike magnetic rose, and is definitely just to laugh at. I really cracked up when the Americans showed up in space suits, wtf? Weird and funny. Really sends the message that humanity shouldn't mess with bio weapons.

This was a fine black comedy, with good direction and amusing choice of music. Clearly not laugh-out-loud material, but it was rather enjoyable. Like people have said, this just wouldn't have worked if the MC was any "smarter". However, being under a collection titled Memories, I was mislead into expecting a relevant theme. Otherwise, this was good as a standalone.

This was a nice episode it doesn't quite live up to Magnetic Roses's excellence but it's still a very good black comedy. Actually it even serves the nice purposes of offering some relief after the tension of magnetic rose. It adds in some much needed humor and action to lighten up the tone of the whole thing.

The ending to Stink Bomb is hilarious in a very twisted way and the lively Jazz soundtrack is a bit disturbing at first but very appropriate in the end.

Nice episode that adds some balance to this little set of OVAs.

i thought it was really funny and well put together, and did laugh-out-loud a few times. probably one of the funniest straight-up comedy shorts I've seen in a while.
Farce/clusterf*ck comedies aren't supposed to have 100% realistic characters (someone mentioned Kramer? ;D), half the fun is "how could he not realise..." etc, he's cloaked in green gas ffs...

fwiw I'd argue Magnetic Rose is actually MORE contrived

Everyone is harping on the main character and fails to realize that his moronic cluelessness is what makes this part so great. Don't deny that you honestly want to see him get blasted off the face of the Earth. And, sweet monkey nuggets, they try to do just that!

I really enjoyed this episode. It was pretty cool. But god I hated that guy. Idiot! You're killing everyone around you, you jerk. Just die!
Why did they even make those pills? Haha. What were they for?! Was it an accident that it ended up doing that it was it supposed to kill everyone?

Although it's like comparing apples and tables, it was like watching The Happening as an intentional comedy. This was probably the hardest I've ever laughed at people that died arbitrarily and en mass.

Better episode than the last one though have some stupid moments, but glad this episode entertains me more.
The music is quite nice.
Not so sure if I should keep up and watch the third episode. Don't want to keep watching this. D:

What we have here, is a failure to communicate. Nobody thought to put up a sign to say "STOP"?

lol-military, we must overreact immediately.

It was still pretty good, though unbelievable. Bio-weapons are extremely terrifying... it might be an exaggeration, but it gets the point across.

This was one of the most ridiculous and funniest movie I've seen in anime.
I do agree that the main character should've realised it WAY sooner that he was the one making the smell, knocking people out.

Had a feeling he was going to try to get one of the suits aswell, still funny as hell though.

This episode was stupid... funny, but stupid.

One, an entire army couldn't hit a single guy, messed up aim or not, one stray missile should've got lucky.

And two, the MC needs his head examined.

Am I the only one who's totally creeped out by the second segment? I saw this part as a child and it was nightmares. Now I stumble upon it as an adult and it still horrors me.

Talk about a tone shift, I liked this in that dark humor sort of way. There was some pretty funny moments in this, but like the tons of people kind of dying really um darkened the mood.

The animation and score were top notch, not far from perfection. The beginning and ending were pretty funny overall cool black comedy.


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

I thought they caught him but I guess they slipped, now it was stink attack from the idiot. Considering he was a scientist, a man of intelligence I think that last part when he killed them he knew he was the cause. Any way great episode and fun to watch.
