About Fairy Princess Minky Momo 2nd

Here is what Fairy Princess Minky Momo 2nd (魔法のプリンセス ミンキーモモ -夢を抱きしめて-) is about, retold in plain terms: a mahou shoujo anime by Production Reed (1991). What the story covers: This series begins with the second Minky Momo arriving from "Marinasa", a land of dreams and magic, similar to Fenarinasa, that has sunk to the bottom of the sea. On Earth, she tries to accomplish what the first Momo couldn't, restore humanity's hopes and dreams, in order to save Fenarinasa and Marinenasa from extinction.

More of the story: Note: Although the structure of this series is almost the same as the one from 1982, it has a heavier story, with real-life social issues incorporated as themes in many of the episodes.

In a mahou shoujo series like this, tone, pacing and character writing decide how well it works. Momo, voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, leads the cast you will follow most closely. If you count yourself among viewers looking for something new to follow, put it on your list. The run is 62 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Production Reed, which means the visual identity of Fairy Princess Minky Momo 2nd follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on mahou shoujo, tone, pacing and character writing decide how well it works. With a 6.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Megumi Hayashibara as Momo, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1991, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
