Getsumen Usagi Heiki Mina OVA
Date: 12/7/2005
It's been revealed the fictional anime series Getsumen Usagi Heiki Mina seen repeatedly in Fuji TV's live action drama Densha Otoko (Trainman) will itself be animated in the form of an OVA. In the drama, actor Itoh Atsushi plays the character of otaku, Yamada who's main love in life is the Mina anime, a cutesy busty heroine with floppy rabbit ears and carrots sticking out her rear. A column in Comic Gum Magazine talked about the animation advancement although it's been said that working out the copyrights to the character may be complicated. No further production details are available at this time for the real world OVA although GONZO presently produces the Mina anime sequences for Densha Otoko and 17 year old Takeda Karin voices the character. The fictional anime has become somewhat of a underground fan favorite among Japanese otaku and this past summer model / toy company VOLKS produced a 1/6 resin cast garage kit of Mina, selling it in limited fashion for 8,800 Yen at Comike.
