Do Dreams Really Come True? Well... It's Complicated.
Mitsuki’s a normal 12-year-old girl who dreams of becoming an idol singer… except she’s dying of cancer. With a surgery looming that could damage her vocal chords, and a grandmother completely against Mitsuki’s dreams of showbiz, it seems like her wish will never come true. But when she’s visited by two shinigami – Takuto and Meruko – Mitsuki makes a promise. If they can help her fulfill her dream, then she will part with her soul willingly when the time comes.
A grand, emotional and spiriting adventure, Looking for the Full Moon is full of great songs, touching moments, and characters you’ll fall in love with.
Originally released in English as "Full Moon o Sagashite", this series was completely dubbed, but its release was abandoned after episode 27.
AnimEigo is proud to present the entire 52 episode series in HD and English for the very first time!
The series will be released in two boxed sets, each containing 26 episodes on two discs.
"5 stars! A wonderfully-done show that has all the ingredients of a great anime!"
- T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews
"A-! With its bright colors, happy intros, and incredibly cute characters, Full Moon proves that you really can't judge a book by its cover."
- Liann Cooper, Anime News Network
