Good morning!!!
Background:
"Ami-chan no Hatsukoi" (or "First Love of Ami-Chan") is the name of the 15 minute SuperS special, featuring Ami, which aired along with the SuperS movie in Japan (end of 1995, I believe). It featured Ami and the other Senshi as they were preparing for high school entrance exams. It was based on a similar story which occurred in the manga and it contains lots of neat new footage, including seeing Ami-chan in glasses for the first time.
What happened in it?
- If you want to know the events that took place in Ami's special, you can check out a script I found, or my own little synopsis.
- An Ami's First Love page by Huna combines the story with screen shot pictures. (**In 2008, this site still exists!)
How was it done?
When Ami's special was released, some of the people who worked on it discussed aspects of it's creation and Ami herself. For some little tidbits from this discussion, click here. You can also see an Ami related exerpt.
- I believe I've also found the manga cover page from the story the Special was based on.
How can I get a copy?
- Ami's special is also available on Japanese Laser Disc (catalog number LSTD01302).
- (**Obviously, the website links here are toast. Apparently there was also a fandub version though(!).)
