The legendary magical girl franchise Minky Momo is set to return to Japanese theaters with a special screening of one of its anime OVA projects on November 13, 2026.
The announcement is part of a commemorative event celebrating the long-running franchise, which remains one of the most influential magical girl series in anime history.
The theatrical screening will give fans an opportunity to experience the OVA on the big screen once again, bringing renewed attention to a classic title that helped shape the magical girl genre during the 1980s and 1990s.
Minky Momo originally debuted as a television anime in 1982 and quickly became one of the defining magical girl series of its era. The story follows Momo, a young princess from a dreamlike magical kingdom who travels to Earth with the mission of helping people achieve their dreams and happiness.
The franchise became known for its emotional storytelling, imaginative transformations, and surprisingly mature themes, earning a lasting legacy among anime fans and creators alike.
Over the years, Minky Momo received multiple anime projects, including television series, OVAs, specials, and films, helping establish many of the conventions later adopted by future magical girl franchises.
The upcoming theatrical screening aims to celebrate the history of the series while introducing the classic work to a new generation of viewers.
The special screening event is scheduled to take place in Japanese theaters on November 13, 2026.
