Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1993

It wasn’t just to prove “there are still some differences between the thirtieth anniversary of Mighty Atom appearing on TV and today” that I opened up an OVA I’d had waiting for quite some time. Years before getting those DVDs in a last-chance sale, indeed around the time of that “thirtieth anniversary” just mentioned, I was picking up promotional brochures from Dark Horse Comics from my home town comics shop and noticed them referring to manga. I suppose I might even have taken slight notice of a title named Oh My Goddess! in them; it would have been after their first issue, though, so I never really looked into it. (Before leaving high school I did find two “introductory issues” of different manga series in the comics shop’s dollar bin, but they happened to be of “fanservice titles,” terrifying me to the point of handing them on to someone else at high school who’d occasionally commented about anime videotapes at a video store in the next town over even though I never quite followed up on that. My more comfortable experience with manga back then amounted to finding an old HyperCard stack on a shareware CD-ROM that had presented a scanned-in issue of Appleseed...)
