Many of you anime youngin’ may not know who she is, but Minky Momo’s part in the history of anime cannot be ignored.

For those unfamiliar with the story, it basically goes like this - Momo, the princess of a magical land that cherishes dreams, is sent to Earth on a mission. This mission? To give Earthlings happiness and hope so that they may not lose their dreams.The show was so popular it has spawned several OVAs and sequels over the years, the last being Minky Momo in Tabidachi no Eki, released in 1994.

During a conference on Tuesday for a new Minky Momo musical in development, it was announced that a new series is quite possible. Even though I have yet to see this show myself, this is surely a sign that I should.
