Title (Japanese) Kodomo no Omocha

Fantasy Novel

Notes OVA. Became a TV series in 1996.

Classification -

Synopsis

Review This the OVA of a TV series, about a girl, Sana, who is a juvenile actress, and about a disturbed boy in her class whom she tries to help and befriend. It's funny, well-characterized, and the most heartwarming piece of anime I have seen for many a day. [Also, there's a classroom riot scene which is more reminiscent of the notorious Ridings School in Britain (from which dozens of pupils were expelled for riotous behaviour) than any image one had of Japanese education!] In a typically Japanese way the story celebrates intelligence and caring. Excellent.
