I would suspect it was a trendy way of saying it was a direct to video documentary, smearing two words. The term “mook”, a magazine-book hybrid, has been very common for decades so I’d imagine it’s a take off on that. |

Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: Perfect Collection Memorial Box (1990) [JSLD-1004] is also a NHK VOOK.  Julien |

Ha! I guess it means nothing then, since Nadia was never a book or a magazine and it wasn’t direct to video. I guess it means “NHK made it”. |

The Japanese Wikipedia mentions that the label KSS (Kamakura Super Station) was used to release on home media NHK productions, and later changed to VOOK: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHK%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA Julien |

Julien, could you please add it to the collection options? It would make it easier to catalog them.. |

I don’t think it’s a “collection” at all, just a label. There is zero relationship between the two Vook titles shown other than the publisher. |
