Wonder-7 mock TV episode, a press conference with the cast and crew, “The Making Of Mikazuki”, and a promotional TV program. Extras/Menus: The fourth disk in this set is dedicated to supplementary materials. First up is a complete (25-minute) episode of the fictional TV show, Wonder-7. The character of Akane Hino is a huge fan of this show, and can be seen watching it several times over the course of the series. It's a hilarious parody of Sentai-style TV shows, complete with a transforming hero, talking weapons, a flamboyant villain, and a rubber monster. The special effects are bright, colorful, and well done. The fact that the filmmakers invested the time and money to make a full episode (when only a few brief clips are actually shown in the Mikazuki series) is a testament to the care that they put into the entire project, and their love for the works that inspired them. Next up is a 5-minute press conference with the cast and crew of Mikazuki. “The Making Of Mikazuki” is a 23-minute program featuring behind-the-scenes footage, conversations with the cast & crew, and trailers. The final feature appears to be a promotional TV program. Hosted by Saori Nara, the actress who plays Akane / Proprietor / Firefield Sea, it runs 14 minutes. It includes behind-the-scenes footage, clips of special effects filming, and footage and music from the show.
