Thread for Magnificent Melmo/Merumo!

Sutibaru · 10-04-2005

I know Merumo has been mentioned earlier in the threads and such, but I am creating a new one for things that I have found.

As many of you know Magnificent Melmo is about a girl who has some kind of magical candy that lets her age and regress by eating one.

Just check out the official page: http://en.tezuka.co.jp/manga/sakuhin/m078/m078_01.html

And another site I havent checked much out yet:
http://animebb.jp/production/tezukapro/melmo.aspx

But I have attached a few pictures that I have found across the net. I hope you enjoy them!

BTW. I am downloading a few episodes off of eMule under the name "Bon Bon Magici Di Lilly". I should be able to get some clips from them.

Thanks for the pictures Sutibaru. I always wanted to know more about Magnificent Melmo. Some of the short clips of her that I found was on The AR Story Archive.

In my option, it seens that most of the process is mostly on science.

Actually the candy is given to her by her dead mother who died from a car crash. I do not know if she gives it to her before or after death.

!! Melmo was on postage stamps?! (Maybe I shouldn't be surprised: a number of Tezuka's other characters have been...)

Thanks so much for the pics. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a major Tezuka fan. I just recently purchased the Kimba DVD. My kids love it, amazingly. I was so happy to be able to share it with them. Next I will get Astro Boy, but I really wish I could get the Melmo DVD at a reasonable price. All I've seen is the Japanese version for about 300$. And it may not even play on American equipment. I bet it would on a PC though. I'm pretty sure there were some English language VHS tapes made as I have seen references to them on the archives at groups.google.com. A few used ones were sold several years ago by a site that no longer seems to be all there. I heard that the Italian version a was on some kind of torrent thingy. It's called I Bon Bon Magici di Lilly, I think. I was even able to hear the theme song to that version of the show, and even see the beginning and end credits. I can dig up the link to them if anyone wants it. Hey, I guess I could even poste them. Shall I? Too bad it's not readily available on an English language DVD. It looks sooooooooooooooooo cute.

I have just finished downloading the first episode to magici di Lilly. A lot of great AP and AR. I will try to cut some good scenes out and post them. The quality of the video is not the best though, but it is enough to see the action!

Nice finds, as always, Subitaru!

TrunKated · 11-12-2005

These are really hard to get a hold of. You can tell by how long it took Sutibaru to download one episode. Over a month it seems. I may still shell out the 300$ to get the out of print DVD set from Japan. In the mean time, thank you for your efforts, Sutibaru!

Sutibaru · 11-12-2005

I will be sending the first AP and AR clip as soon as I can reduce the size. right now it is about 30 meg. I suppose that will be too big for this forum, right? There are also several others in the first episode that I would like to send when I can reduce the size.

Here is a link to an awesome statue of the grown up Melmo:

An extreme amount of detail. He even added in some clothes ripping from tight clothes. Damn I wish I had this.

NinjaSonic · 11-25-2005

Those are some cool camera shots. She's kinda looks like Cutey Honey with those poses.
