Kaiba

Kaiba (カイバ) is an anime series directed by Masaaki Yuasa that debuted on the WOWOW satellite network in Spring 2008. Animation is by Madhouse and it is described as a sci-fi love story.

Plot
In the setting of the series, it is now possible to store memory data, so that the death of one's body is not actually "death". As memories are stored in databanks, they can be "transferred" to new bodies. Because of these developments, so-called "memory trading" now occurs and it is now possible to steal memories and illegally alter them.

Society in the world of Kaiba has fallen apart as authority has become lost and stagnant. In the skies are roiling clouds and electrical storms, impossible to pass without losing one's memories; above them lies the elusive realm of the rich and powerful, who barter others' bodies and memories for their own enjoyment and longevity. Below lies a troubled and dangerous world where good bodies are hard to come by and real money is scarce.

The series begin as a boy awakens in a ruined room. His name is Warp. He has no memories, but he does have a pendant with a picture of an unknown woman inside. After suddenly being attacked, Kaiba escapes into space, and during his travels meets all sorts of people and regains his memories. Throughout it, he continues to be troubled by the world's problems, as well as his own existence. And what of the woman in the pendant, Neiro?
