Candy Candy

This story is about a girl, Candy, who is an orphan. She is a nice and optimistic girl and she has a warm heart. When she was a child, she lived in an orphanage called Pony's Home. She had a good friend called Annie. And she met the "Prince of the Hill" who is a important person in her life, on the hill behind the orphanage.

She was adopted by the Leagan family. What's awaiting her are the bad-hearted Neil and his sister, Eliza. One day, in the rose garden, she met a boy, who is identical to the "Prince of the Hill" who she had met in her childhood. His name is Anthony. Thereafter, a fantastic story that she has never expected begins.

Classic soap opera anime for a series like Candy Candy is that this series is basically is the most beloved series from the 70s for this point as well.



Story
So it starts off with of how it took place in the setting in Pony's home orphanage a girl who was left outside is that a note says the name is Candice when she is been Christened as Candice White after the snow has been fallen in the winter afterwards when the snow was fallen on one side Candice has been growing up in the orphanage where she has been watches her friends that were part of ... the orphanage where they ended up to be part of the fostering by other families, but when she's been helped by a mysterious stranger she then yearns him just for to return to her, then sent to work as a servant for the ragham family she got bullied by one of the ragham children named Eliza and Neil, When she develops the crushes on many of the nice young men, especially for the one gentleman named Anthony Brown until he died suddenly during a fox hunt,then his cousin named Alastair "Stair" Audrey is also another potential suitor although he was killed during World War I, Candice falls in love with a man named Terrence grandchester in London but then steps aside him to marry another woman whose needs is greater than hers obviously.


Animation
The animation is very good and a masterpiece for a romantic soap opera series like Candy Candy is that the art style is good especially for what animation directors worked on the animation.



Music
The music is very good and very melodrama almost melancholy unlike any other anime like most of them this series has the nice music especially the solemn feeling for how the music transitions of how it goes on each scene in every episode of this series.



Characters
The characters has their personalities which it has been got to this but then again it may depend on the characters of this series especially their personalities of how it has.



Production
The production is very good especially for what the writers and director worked very hard for this series is that this is how it has got to the point out is that it has values for a series like Candy Candy but then again two or less then the credibility results.


Overall
Although this series as been lasted about 115 episodes of the soap opera elements, and it then progresses of how it happens in the series formula although thisnseries has its moments but there is some romance in this series Candy Candy unlike most romance anime this series is basically for those that have been heard or known stories about this classic anime series from the 70s this series has gotten a huge popularity in Mexico and Latin America and also in Europe mostly Italy during the 80s for the Italian audiences when this series has been got a popularity in Italy during the 80s merchandise every where and even this series has been released on bootleg DVDs but it was a classic anime to remember to this day.



Score
10/10



Candy Candy is basically the well known classic anime that is out there is got to the whole thing to this day but then again of all of this is that this is the well beloved anime series which is bringing to the extend to other Anime which is made by Toei animation that came out in the 70s before Anime got popular in the 90s but this series on the other hand give it a watch if it's on fansubs or through bootleg DVDs of this series like Candy Candy.

All 115 Completed. (Español Disponible)
This is a very hard Slice of Life for the time that was released. There's so much feelings in this anime and very dificult things that make the viewer so upset about all the things that Candy has to pass through. In overall prepare yourself to cry. We need to be like Candy, always happy and fighting for every dream we have in our lives. Has a very good story, sometimes a little boring but that's the part when the art, and the characters bring on. The sound teleports you into a piece of a moment that Candy is living, is ... beautiful.
I don't wanna give you any spoilers, but it's worth it if you're searching for some old anime.
*********************************************************************
Todos 115 Capítulos Completos
Este es un Slice of Life muy difícil para el momento en que se lanzó. Hay tantos sentimientos en este anime y cosas muy difíciles que hacen que el espectador se sienta tan molesto por todas las cosas por las que Candy tiene que pasar. En general, prepárate para llorar. Necesitamos ser como Candy, siempre felices y luchando por cada sueño que tenemos en nuestras vidas. Tiene una muy buena historia, a veces un poco aburrida, pero esa es la parte en la que el arte y los personajes aparecen. El sonido te teletransporta a un fragmento de un momento que Candy está viviendo, es hermoso.
No quiero darte ningún spoiler, pero vale la pena si estás buscando un anime antiguo.

Preliminary (7/115 eps)

Through millennia of evolution, the sound of a crying child has been genetically engineered to be the most insufferable noise imaginable.

Of course, in Candy Candy it's not nearly as grating but it tries to be and the characters are crying all the time. It's more realistic that way, but it's not in service of any goal. The anime is from the 1970's and hence so are the concerns it addresses (whatever those are). Insufferable realism is meaningless here.

Oh, and it looks and sounds awful, especially the sound of crying children.

It has it's moments and Donald Trump does make an appearance, but it's largely utterly insufferable.
