Kaiba

  • Studio: Madhouse. 1
  • Episodes: 12. 1
  • MAL score: 8.14. 1
  • Aired: Apr 11, 2008 to Jul 25, 2008. 1
  • Genre: Adventure, Avant Garde, Award Winning, Mystery, Romance, Sci-Fi. 1
Kaiba wakes in an empty room with no memories, a hole in his chest, and a locket holding the picture of an unknown woman. In this world, memories can live on chips separate from the body, so identity can be copied, altered, traded, or lost. 1
The pitch is simple: a bright, strange memory-world where identity can be stored, sold, and stolen. Madhouse turns deceptively simple shapes into a sharp sci-fi mystery, with a mood that can jump from playful to genuinely unsettling without warning.
If you liked
  • Mawaru Penguindrum for tender, surreal stories about memory, family, and identity.
  • The Tatami Galaxy for fast, shape-shifting visual storytelling that rewards a second pass.
Four swipes, then episode 1.
