CS broadcaster Satellite Theater announced the program "Rewind the VHS! Our OVA Special," airing nine OVA works from September and October 2026. September includes the Gosho Aoyama short film collections animated by the Detective Conan staff and cast, plus Magic Knight Rayearth, Vampire Princess Miyu, and Tokyo Vice. October brings LedA, Virgust, Puttun Make Love, and Plastic Little.
Satellite Theater's two-month OVA retrospective draws from 1985 to 1999, and the September half leans heavily on Detective Conan connections. The Aoyama short collection, originally released as an OVA in 1999, was animated by the Conan staff and cast, and one segment, Stray Red Butterfly, resets the protagonist from the manga's Kitao Yusaku to Conan's father Yusaku Kudo. The second collection includes an OVA-original story, 10 Planets Taking Flight into the Night Sky, featuring an infant Shinichi Kudo.
Beyond the Aoyama titles, September slots in a Rayearth OVA that moves the three heroines from middle school second year to third year, with Toshihiko Hirano returning from the 1994 TV series to direct. October covers the heroic fantasy LedA from 1985, the RPG-derived Virgust, and the sci-fi action Plastic Little.
