What happens

Magical Princess Minky Momo (魔法のプリンセス ミンキー モモ, Mahō no Purinsesu Minkī Momo) is a Japanese magical girl anime franchise by Ashi Productions. The original series ran between 1982 and 1983 on TV Tokyo and inspired three OVAs between 1985 and 1987. A second television series, titled Magical Princess Minky Momo: Hold on to Your Dreams (魔法のプリンセスミンキーモモ 夢を抱きしめて, Mahō no Purinsesu Minkī Momo: Yume o Dakishimete), ran on NTV between 1991 and 1992, and like the original, it spawned home video follow-ups. A third Momo series began in 2004, this time as a manga titled Miracle Dream Minky Momo (みらくる・ドリーム ミンキーモモ, Mirakuru Dorīmu Minkī Momo) in Shogakukan's Shōgaku Ninensei magazine. In 2006, writer Takeshi Shudo expressed interest in making a third Momo anime television series. In 2009, Ashi Productions announced a new Momo production, but it has not yet surfaced; this is likely due to Shudo's death in 2010. A new original video animation, titled Magical Princess Minky Momo: A Duo of Sincerity Toward a Dream of Longing (魔法のプリンセスミンキーモモ 憧れの夢へ まごころの二重奏, Mahō no Purinsesu Minkī Momo: Akogare no Yume e Magokoro no Duo), will be released in November 2026.
