Melody of Oblivion
Anime DVD Review
The twenty-first century is a time that is dominated by the ruling class known as the Monsters. They defeat the human race in a savage war that takes place in the late 20th century - now humans are the underclass to do with as they please.
A young man named Bocca discovers that he is one of a series of resistance fighters known as the Warriors of Melos. Armed with mystical powers and a high-tech combat motorbike known as an Aiba Machine, he sets out to master his role as a Warrior of Melos and defeat the Monster King. He is guided by a female apparition known only as the Melody of Oblivion. His companion Sayoko tags along, to act as help (she is adept at pickpocketing), and to search for the mysterious Melos warrior named Kurofune. This warrior is the key to unlocking the secrets behind the Melody of Oblivion.
The stories are fast-paced; Bocca's Monster adversaries prove to be formidable combatants that are more than a match for his abilities. The never-ending suspense is sure to keep the viewer glued to the screen. This series provides an adrenalin rush that you'll want to find yourself in, over and over again.
