Issei Futamata vFuI tMOMO Description: tMOMO Momo is a little girl living with her parents. She's a very tMOMO bright and friendly girl given to helping those that she meets. tMOMO Minky Momo is actually a princess from the "Land of Dreams" and tMOMO she is on Earth to help humans not to lose their dreams. There tMOMO are actually 2 Minky Momo TV series: tMOMO Minky Momo (1982-83) - Momo-chan and her parents run a pet tMOMO shop. Momo comes from Fenarinarsa which moved to near- tMOMO Earth space when humans lost their dreams. Momo uses her tMOMO magic to change into various 18 year old girls with expert tMOMO skills in some area. At the end of the series, Momo was tMOMO run over by a truck and her spirit was reborn as a human. tMOMO Minky Momo (1991-92) - Another Momo-chan lives with her human tMOMO parents who run a hotel. Premise is the same as the first tMOMO series, except that this Momo has more general use of her tMOMO magic - being able to cast spells as well as transform. tMOMO Minky Momo comes from Marinenarsa which sits at the bottom tMOMO of the sea. Note that the first Minky Momo (now human) tMOMO has also appeared in this series. tMOMO In both series, Momo-chan lives with human parents, but her real tMOMO parents live in their respective cities and Minky Momo is a real tMOMO princess. Both "Land of Dreams" retreated to their current tMOMO locations because humans have lost sight of their dreams. This tMOMO is a "magical girl" series which is surprisingly good, tMOMO considering that it's directed at little girls... tMOMO Release Info: tMOMO - 1982 TV series.

Nariko Fujieda vFuN0 tMOL Description: tMOL An inventor named Hiromi creates what is essentially a new power-tMOL suit: the Mol Unit. He dreams of doing good deeds with the suit.tMOL He gets his chance quickly: at an exhibition of antique cars, tMOL Machine Gals (beautiful robot women) appear to steal the cars. tMOL Powering up, Hiromi puts the Mol Unit through its paces...and it tMOL passes with flying colors and the attack is repelled. The new tMOL superhero is quickly dubbed "Captain Tokyo" and everyone wonders tMOL who it is. There are *some* disadvantages to the Mol Unit as tMOL well...there is a built in time limit (666 seconds) and when it tMOL expires, the suit will disappear leaving the naked wearer of the tMOL Mol Unit...ahh...naked. Mirai (Hiromi's sister) discovers the tMOL Mol Unit and despairs at her brother's fashion sense. A genius tMOL in her own right, Mirai has no trouble in creating a new shell.. tMOL until the end. She sneaks away and hopes that nothing was really tMOL broken. The next time the Machine Gals, Hiromi brings up the tMOL Mol Unit...and everyone wonders who this "Captain Tokyo imitator"tMOL is. Aghast, Hiromi looks at himself and sees Mirai's design: tMOL a cute girl superhero. He promptly makes Mirai wear the unit. tMOL When asked, she proclaims herself as "Moldiver", but finds out tMOL that the cute girl doesn't always appear...sometimes the beefy tMOL superhero is used. This is a funny parody on the powersuit genre.tMOL Release Info: tMOL 6 part OAV.

With no real hometown to go to, she journeys to a tOMO farm owned by the family of her oldest sister's husband. As she tOMO goes on the journey, she has many flashbacks to 1966 when she tOMO was 10 years old. Through the younger Taeko's eyes, we see a tOMO normal life of a school kid with many events which were tOMO significant to her. The film continues in this vein, switching tOMO between the purposeless life of the older Taeko as she arrives tOMO at the farm, and attempts to get to her roots, and the younger tOMO Taeko with all the attendant joys and sorrows of growing up. tOMO This is a very melancholy film as we enter the ordinary life of tOMO Taeko and her brief time on the farm.

This changes when he meets up with tONV an old friend named Tanaka and is introduced to the mysterious tONV world of the "otaku". Kubo finds himself becoming an **ANIME tONV OTAKU**. With this new interest, Kubo and Tanaka open "General tONV Products": a company specializing in anime garage kits. Of tONV course, GP is wildly successful and Kubo has a dream...to create tONV an amusement park catering exclusively to anime otakus. "Otaku tONV no Video 1985" chronicles the downfall of Kubo & Tanaka and his tONV efforts to create a new company based around a new Magical Girl tONV character...Misty May. This 2 OAV series was a self-parody of tONV Gainax; a company filled with anime otakus. There were also tONV numerous "interviews" of different otakus. "Otaku no Video" can tONV be amusing or insulting, depending on your outlook. tONV tONV NOTE: "otaku" literally means "your house", but in common usage tONV refers to a person that is extremely knowledgeable and/or tONV fanatical about a topic. An "anime otaku" refers to someone tONV who lives and breathes anime. In Japan, "otaku" has the same tONV stigma as "nerd" and should not be used casually (in fact, tONV it's an insult)... tONV US Release by: AnimEigo (subtitled) tONV UK Release by: Anime Projects Limited (subtitled) tONV Rating: [1 2 3 4 ] tONV
