Review | A
classic shoujo anime, set in the USA, following the story of Candy White,
a tomboy-waif from Michigan. Visually, it is somewhat reminiscent of "Lady
Georgie", another period romantic drama. In a later episode, Candy works
as a nurse
at a railroad construction project. I've only seen two episodes, and detail
on the series can be hard to come by, but check out the "Anime Encyclopedia" or the Shoujo
ML Archive. Highly rated by some shoujo fans. A classic in shoujo history. Anime exaggerates and stretches the manga a bit, which caused a slightly lower quality than the manga. (TC) Rating **** |
