This is my 4th or so web site I have tried looking and asking for information about the anime/manga of MVS.

Anime smile + sweatdrop

I was wondering where I could find episodes or someone could tell me more about the series.
A week of searching and only one website and a bunch of awesome cosplay photos equals me being stressed until I see the show.

Thanks in advance.

I think it might be fake. A Google search returns nothing but cosplay sites.

Do you have any information other than the name to go on?
Also, even if we did have information you cannot ask where to find episodes here.

Yup, it's a fake.

Look at this page. It stinks to high heaven of a hoax.

According to that page, btw, the original Japanese title is supposed to be Fushigiboshi ga Unsanmushou -- 不思議星が雲散霧消 -- which I suppose would literally be "The mysterious star/planet vanishes like the mist". A simple search for the Japanese title reveals no mention of it on Japanese-language sites.

Meh, stop wasting time. It's fake.

hoax++

According to the article on the page Abunai linke to, MVS aired on Fuji TV in 1976. According to the Anime Guide, which lists all Japanese anime in chronological order, no such anime aired on TV in 1976.

Additionally, none of the various websites that list anime chronologically include MVS in 1976 (or any year).

And here we have a person stating that his friend "Jim" invented MVS for cosplay purposes.
