(Entry in Clements and McCarthy "Anime Encyclopedia")

Classification shoujo

Synopsis Sally, a trainee witch bored by her studies in the Magical Kingdom, comes to earth and tries to pass as a human girl, not always successfully. She befriends human children Yotchan and Sumire, and the boy triplets, and fights with crooks. In the first episode she creates herself a house on a vacant lot, helps a girl recover a mislaid gift, and bamboozles burglars at a department store.

Review This was the first of the popular "magical-girl" genre that persists to the present day with many series such as Creamy Mami, Gigi, Secret Akko-chan, and so on, with sexier variants such as Magic Girl Meg. Sally's frumpy hairstyle has not been imitated.
Whether the genre will survive its gloomy 2011 deconstruction in "Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica" in which power-intoxicated magical girls engage in lethal combat against witches and against each other, bound by Faustian contracts from which they can never escape, remains to be seen.
