Is Unnamed Memory worth watching?

Hey guys, I just finished ep 6 of unnamed memory. I have no fucking idea what the fuck is going on. Like [Unnamed Memory]>!in ep 6, she's denying to be his fiancée, but later jumps into his arms to kiss him!<. I was left wondering if I skipped 5 episodes of romantic development or something. I've heard the light novel is good. The anime feels like they speedran the adaptation.

So does it get good? Or I have to watch another 18 episodes in confusion? If that's the case then might as well just drop it.

Like literally every other anime, it comes down to preference. Like Rent a Girlfriend. Some hate it, some love it, some are indifferent.

I watched it and I enjoyed it. But I have different tastes than you. If you aren’t feeling it then it isn’t for you, and that’s okay.

No I am not saying I hate it, I'm just confused, it's like they speedran the romantic development.

what a useless comment that offers no insight or room for discussion

ActualRound76992026-01-16 18:24

Pot -> kettle - black. But I promise I’ll be as rude and argumentative to you as you get with me. So you can waste your time here or just ignore me and move on.

Btw, insight into preference? they thought it felt rushed, I didn’t. Really not much to discuss or debate? It comes down to preference.

sweetholo2026-01-16 18:28

would you go into a debate or discussion board about a topic and say "yeah i mean it all comes down to preference man" and leave? just useless dialogue

talk about why you liked it, why you didnt think it was rushed, why you disliked some parts, how season 2 compares to season 1, etc

>they thought it felt rushed, I didn't

[Unnamed Memory] >!did you honestly feel it's not rushed? Even after the main couple kissed out of nowhere, she was saying she didn't wanted to be his fiancée, but they later in the same episode, they kissed nonchalantly. Yeah, feels plenty rushed to me, it's too much rushed to NOT notice.!<

yeah, the romantic development (or lackof) was very confusing when i first watched it. the anime is pretty ass. season 2 is only a little better but still not good. you're better off reading the LNs

jpgjunkie2026-01-16 18:21

ehhhhh it gets somewhat better but feels a bit rushed

RyaReisender2026-01-16 18:21

It doesn't really change much until the end. They squeezed way too much source into an episode. It almost feels like you're just looking and some pages of the life of a person always with weeks or months of story gaps between each episode.

Better read the source.

gud_fellow2026-01-16 18:24

Yeah, then I'm not continuing it, if it remains the same. it's such a shame, the anime seemed good.

mlcarson2026-01-16 19:33

I liked it. It's biggest problem was that the story was rushed and that it had no English dub. As others have said, if you want the full story then you have to read the books. The anime is still watchable but you just have to realize that a lot of events may be missing between episodes (not enough for the story to be unfollowable though).

AmethystItalian2026-01-16 18:22

I got out of there after season 1, it was a mess...drop it while you can imo

Unusual_Rush_11892026-01-16 18:22

I get what you are saying and where you are coming from. Unnamed Memory sets up an expectation of what the story is going to be about. And then, eventually, it diverges from the premise and decides to be about something else.

Wr.madr it further than you did, making it about 80% through the show, but sort of came to the same conclusions where we we 'understood' what was going on, but at the same time weren't really sure what was going on or why.

ElectricalAd70092026-01-16 18:27

It's pretty mid, even on animelist it has 6.79. If you already watch half of it and you don't like it, it's probably not for you.

PossessionDue93812026-01-16 18:27

I stopped at that point when it was first releasing because I was confused too lol. If I remember, the dream stuff and close relationship out of nowhere was confusing.

The anime is horrible, because it rushed through the novels at break neck speed, skipping about two thirds of all scenes.

If the romantic development seems to be missing, that is because it was cut almost in its entirety.

If you think the story has potential, read the books. You will be astonished, how many more scenes and entire story arcs there are.

To give a short example. (Spoiler warning for the first 25% of book one (skipped in episode 2):
In the anime, Oscar picks up a random girl from the witches tower, no one suspects she might be the only known inhabitant of said tower (aka the witch) and everyone is super surprised, when she immediately turns out to be the witch.

In the LN, she arrives, is viewed with mild suspicion, then seen as the culprit for a murder mystery during a festival, having to clear her name. After that, she works with the knights for 6 months and then they’re surprised when it turns out, she’s the witch.

What appears to be shoddy writing in the anime is just it skipping two thirds of the story.

gud_fellow2026-01-16 18:47

Yeah in the episode 2, I felt it revealed way too quickly, like they are gonna reveal the big surprise just like that?

>In the LN, she.....she's the witch

Yeah that's massive amount of content skipped, I'm glad I made this post and I'm glad I'm dropping it. The story seems good tho, I'll consider reading the books.
Thanks!

Nope, biggest disappointment of the season. I hear the novels are good though, just horrible adaptation.

gud_fellow2026-01-16 18:42

[Unnamed Memory]>!Seriously, when they kissed nonchalantly in ep 6, I was like, "What the fuck is even going on? That came out of nowhere" felt like missed 5 episodes of romantic development.!<

I'm dropping it, this anime wasted my time
