Synopsis

Review Title credit | Amy | Town | Family Group
(The 1981 adaption of "Little Women" made by Toei Animation and directed by Yuugo Serikawa.)
See 1980anim
Unfortunately the bulk of this show on Maxi TV was blocked by SYSTER encryption. However, I saw several complete episodes of the "Other" Litle Women, it was interesting in that though the character designs, some of them, (Beth, Amy) are quite good, the backgrounds are poor, and it didn't look true to the book; in fact I didn't see anything that I recall from the book and saw a scene of a group of blacks being hunted through the streets of Concord/Newcourt that wasn't in the book and doesn't seem historically justified either. The opening credit sequence of the Turkish edition was 100% Japanese, and the Japanese title is something like "Young Grass-Four Sisters". It doesn't look anything like the 1987 WMT version, though the opening credit animation, with a lot of bizarre flying sequences, isn't bad. Apparently there is also a dubbed movie length version. The "young grass" in the literal translation probably means "spring" or "youth".
