So after a pretty insane delay, the remainder of the anime I ordered from the Anime Limited Christmas sale arrived in one go. For this title it took me a few years to finally get my hands on it at a good price.
Note: The photos in this unboxing have been updated on 16th May 2019, but the content is identical.
A Letter to Momo (Momo e no Tegami) is a 2011 original anime film from director Hiroyuki Okiura and animation studio Production I.G. The film was distributed by Kadokawa Pictures in Japan and also includes an ensemble cast of voice actors for the Japanese audio.
The English release was distributed by Anime Limited (UK) and GKIDS (North America), with NYAV Post providing the English dub for the film. As the dub took its time, Anime Limited basically spent months waiting to the point where they decided to ditch the dub wait with their next title Miss Hokusai. A Letter to Momo is also one of the first Anime Limited releases to use a different style of collector’s edition, with the slipcover tackling the information while the chipboard box focused on clean artwork with the title on the spine.
The UK Collector’s Edition release offers the film on both Blu-ray and DVD across a disc each. The film is available in English and Japanese audio with white-coloured subtitles for English and English Hard of Hearing. The Blu-ray is region locked to B and the DVD is region locked to 2 in NTSC format. Also included with the release is a 40-page booklet with a ton of interviews and production details from the staff who worked on the film.

Plot Synopsis (via Anime Limited):
The last time Momo saw her father, they had a fight. Now all she has left to remember him by is an incomplete letter penned with the words “Dear Momo,” but nothing more. Moving with her mother to the remote Japanese island of Shio, Momo soon discovers three Yokai living in her attic, a trio of mischievous spirit creatures that only she can see and who create mayhem in the tiny seaside community as she tries desperately to keep them hidden. But these funny monsters have a serious side and may hold the key to helping Momo discover what her father had been trying to tell her.

Thank you a lot Normanicgrav, I’m interested in A letter to momo movie production and stuff, and there is not that much info about the film production or the director in English at least. you saved me over 70$ because I was about to purchase the collector’s edition just for the book itself. although I was disappointed of the short movie “Robot on the road” but its just fine I guess. keep it up and thanks again.
