Daisougen no Chiisana Tenshi: Bush Baby

The titles deal with the topics of survival in the wilderness, overcoming the dangers of natural disasters, wild animals and evil humans. The heroine is a young girl who is energetic and capable. She is not only saved by others, but also saves her comrades in times of need. Thanks to her abilities, she is a true asset to the team and also takes the leadership role due to circumstances. I found these titles to be fascinating adventure stories about overcoming external obstacles and growth in a team. 

Both are phenomenal historical anime that came out in the 90s (Bush Baby's setting being more "modern" than Kinpatsu no Jeanie). Both anime follow a girl and her life, highs and lows, and a variety of other things. Both anime have a sense of adventure and are full of heart-touching moments and excellent storytelling. Kinpatsu no Jeanie takes place in 1800s America, and has more romance and drama than Bush Baby. Bush Baby is about a girl living in Africa with her pet bush baby and has more comedy and adventure (with its own heavy dose of drama as well). Both anime also stand out for featuring black characters and touching upon the subject of race (a complex issue that very few anime try to cover). read more
