Daisougen no Chiisana Tenshi: Bush Baby

When Jackie Rhodes, a british girl living in Kenya with her family, finds an ill animal called a Bushbaby, she adopts him, calls him Murphy and nurses him back to health. Murphy, Jackie, her family and their friends go on many adventures involving wild animals, poachers and more. But when Jackie's father is recalled to England, Jackie must leave her life in Africa behind. However, before she can go, Jackie, Murphy and Tembo, a friend of Jackie's father, go on one last adventure: they must cross the dangerous savannah to escape the poachers and corrupt police officers chasing them. Along the way, Jackie teaches the now domesticated Murphy to survive in the wild, so that, before she leaves, she can release him in his natural habitat.

The Bush Baby Or as it is called in the Arabic dubbing Wildflower ( زهرة البراري ) is a wonderful anime that takes you on a magical journey in the wilds of Africa from simple villages and the surrounding reserves to the vast open lands, high from the blue sky and down to the dense jungles and more intrusive into the wilds of Africa in the midst of the ravages of nature and ferocious beasts, And between the dangers lurking between illegal hunters and dangerous uncontacted peoples if you do not deal with them well.
But before this trip, the anime will place you in one ... of the villages or one of the houses responsible for which a Western foreigner works in the protection of animals threatened by the absurd hunting of hunters, and make sure you will have a wonderful experience of the way and what it is like to live there and the nature and dangers of living among the animals of Africa, and of course, it will be keen to pay attention to social relations between Western foreigners and the natives or indigenous people, etc..


One of the things I love the most about classic anime, especially the works of World Masterpiece Theater The beauty of the world and its details from the terrain and environment, where their influence is no less or even greater than the influence of the characters. In fact, many times when I was watching the anime, I was more attracted to the location or the surroundings more than the characters themselves.
Yes, the world of work is very beautiful and wonderful, especially before the last 10 episodes that turns the events into the world becomes more brutal and horrible than captivating with the beauty of its nature.

And one of the most important factors for the aesthetics of the sites is drawing the backgrounds, without a doubt, as they were picturesque, and it may not be full of intense details, for example, like the backgrounds of Ghibli, Kazu, and others, but it has a special aesthetic, For example, the differences in the colors of the soil, herbs and rocks, which gave an aesthetic and realistic site, in addition to the flowers, animals and trees, whose drawing was also wonderful, And all these and many more managed to create an enchanting adventure experience in the wilds of Africa

In addition to a wealth of information, although I had a desire for more and more, but in the end it is not a documentary!

The soundtrack is good and varied and the most of it suitable to be used in the anime, as the funny music when Murphy is playing around, Or high-pitched music when dangerous events occur, Or jungle music that gave a great feeling when going into the jungle, But yes, it did not have a strong special touch in the jungle or had a touch of African music.
