well, it's not so much gorn as much as it is the porn. and since it's anime, it's gross porn, too.
mnemosyne is kind of in this weird limbo where it's really hard to tell if, or likely how much, the writers were aware of how stupid it is. on one hand, you have ludicrous amounts of lesbian sex, some amazingly dumb/gross scenes, hilariously evil villains (evil lesbian torture nurse!) and the galneryus opening where it seems to kind of revel in how schlocky it is. on the other, about 60% of its runtime is spent on intrigue, whether or not that's for the situation at hand or the whole immortals/angels/apos thing going on, there are quite a few mythological/biblical themes floating around and you have this setting that constantly changes as time goes on (which is actually kinda neat) where it really does play itself incredibly straight. i honestly still don't know what to make of it. i think i mostly appreciate it because it's basically a modern (for a certain value of modern, since it's almost a decade old now lol) answer to those old 90s OVAs I used to watch, many of which were uh, worse than mnemosyne (hi, violence jack!).
also, the resolution/ending to episode 3 was hilariously, amazingly dumb. your daddy went out like a champ, son
