Trivia / I Dream of Mimi

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: All three OVAs and two volumes of the manga are still available, but Volume 3 of the manga was lost for a long time. Today, both the full OVA and the entire manga is fully translated and available online.
• Technology Marches On: When one looks back on this animanga, it's clear that its technology was a product of the nineties.
  • 250 MHz are apparently enough for an AI with human-like intelligence in a gynoid body. The specs sheet is that she is a PC2198 AX, with 64 Terabytes of memory and an Expy of the then new Pentium, with 512-bit processing and a sub-processor. the clock speed was likely an effective typo, since all the other specifications are much more viable, and still far higher than most modern systems.^note If it was 250 GHz, then it would be a different trope altogether, though such processors may be possible, as graphene is said to be able to receive frequencies as high as 500 GHz.
  • Data for programs such as beam attacks and house repair are stored on floppy disks. Even a virus is stored in a floppy, and while it's somewhat understandable to see it break an average (for the time) computer, it really shouldn't be able to break a gynoid.
