Contents of the Third DVD Memorial Box |
|
This memorial box
comes with 4 DVDs fancy stored in a little box (14.5cm x 13.0cm x 5.0cm)
with a green cover of plastic. Each DVD holds 6 episodes, except the
last two, which have several items. In Japan it's common to find extra
items in the first press of a release like this. In this memorial box,
there are two extra items: |
- A calendar from September
to December 2000 in cards. The size of each card is 11.6 x 11.6 cm (4.5
x 4.5 in) and holds the calendar for one month along with a picture of
Momo in one side. In the other side of the card, there is only the image
of Momo in black and white. The drawings were made by Hiroshi Watanabe.
- A booklet with a graphical
guide to several of the adult characters that Momo used in her transformations,
an interview with Habara Nobuyoshi and Takami Akio, a reference of the
different openings of the TV series, a gallery of merchandizing releted
to Minky Momo, and a gallery of illustrations.

The Digital Versatil Discs |
This is how the DVDs and their
boxes look:
The DVDs have an interactive
menu where the user can select which episode is going to watch. There is
no selection of languages or subtitles, since this is a only-Japanese release.
However, in this set there are a lot of extra items that were missing in
the previous boxes:
- OVA "Yume no naka no
rondo". This is a 90 minutes movie known in English as "The Fairy
Princess Minky Momo" or "Minky Momo and the fountain of youth".
- OVA "Hitomi no seiza"
(Fairy Princess Minky Momo Song Special). As the name suggests, this
is a video of 25 minutes with 8 songs used in the TV series showing several
scenes taken from the series. There is an aditional song never used before,
with new animation.
- Short animation "Minky
Momo vs Creami Mami". This is a promotional video of 3 minutes for
the movies "Yume no naka no rondo" of Minky Momo and "Long good bye" of
Creami Mami, another very famous magical girl. In this promo, both magical
girls have a fight over all the city using their full powers, destroying
the city in the battle. At the end they are unable to defeat each other,
so they declare a tie. As a curious note, Momo uses attacks never used
in the TV series (which is not strange, since she never fights), with
ridiculous names: "Fenaarinasa kick", "Gourmet Poppo attack", and so on.
- Openings / Endings of
the TV series. There were several OP / ED used along the series, they
are all included here with credits and without credits.
- Preview of episode 1.
After each episode there are previews of the next episode, so there was
a preview for all the episodes, except for episode 1. It's included here.
- Video from the ending
song of the OVA "Yume no naka no rondo". As in the "Song Special",
this was made with sequences taken from the OVA. There is also available
the ending song showing the ending of the OVA without credits.
