| 5 | In the 1984 OVA, a young artist named Hiroshi falls in love with his muse, a moody pale-skinned girl with something he sees as special. Phantasmagorial surrealist segues ensue. This avant-garde anime is known as "Machikado No Meruhen" or "Street Corner Fairytales" in Japan, and is named so in hopes of people confusing it with the 1962 Creator/OsamuTezuka short film "Aru Machikado no Monogatari". |

| 7 | It should be noted that Creator/YoshitakaAmano designed the characters in one of his earliest gigs. |
