Minky Momo in the Bridge Over Dreams · review
Wow, who thought one day I'd see the effect of Kieslowski in anime? The dynamics of art and abstraction are so strange, and that's part of the magic. The story revolves around several elements, mainly a bridge and kite with a child that works as a "love knot" there, it's remarkable how well written and directed this is for an OVA. But then again, the minds behind it are the makers of classics like Pokemon, Maison Ikkoku and Windaria. This played with my emotions so gently, just like a child would play around and have fun with you. Minky Momo seems to be in a specialcategory within the magical girl formula, I remember seeing some episodes of the TV series dubbed in Arabic as a kid, there's a certain maturity to it that's in harmony with its targeted audience, I like that sort of awareness. Really good stuff.
I cannot recommend it enough, be prepared though for your heart to be gently squeezed.
