Minky Momo in Tabidachi no Eki

I cannot believe there are no reviews here...

Minky Momo OVAs from the 90s were something else, it's almost on par (if not surpassing) Sailor Moon as a representative classic of the genre, I have yet to watch the full TV version to finally judge, but it's just such fine storyweaving, these are stories one wants to fall into and dream about, it's really magical. I'm assuming it's been given the rightful status it deserves in Japan, but it seems to be quite underrated and unheard of apart from there, we should appreciate it more.

The structure here is about a magical station that captures the souls ... and memories of those who pass it and keeps them in limbo. Minky Momo and her cousin surrogate cross each other in a symmetrically playful way, the station is in the center of the town and seems to have a metaphysical connection somewhere else. It's interesting and one of the handful incidents for me personally in anime where in synchronicity I encounter something I experienced recently somewhere else. In this case, today I was reading on the Venus eight-year harmonic and the shape it makes in space (just like the shape of the colorful glass dome of the station above the "lion" statue, ha!), sacred geometry is everywhere indeed.

Please watch this and think of your dearest dreams.
