Kirin Masterpiece Romance Theater

Japanese Wikipedia Page Description from TVTropes: From 1979 to 1980, Tokyo 12 Channel (now known today as TV Tokyo) had a series of anime programs called "Kirin Masterpiece Romance Theater" (Kirin being the sponsor), produced by DAX International, each program set in Europe (Except Kinpatsu no Jeanie, which takes place in America during the Civil War) and having characters dealing with numerous hardships. While they were obviously done to compete with WMT, they differed in that three out of four shows done for the lineup were original stories developed by the Japanese studio. The shows were Nobara No Julie ("Julie the Wild Rose"), Paris no Isabelle ("Isabelle of Paris"), Kinpatsu no Jeanie ("Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair"), and Sasurai no Shôjo Nell ("Nell the Wandering Girl", based on "The Old Curiosity Shop" by Charles Dickens). Each show lasted 13 episodes, with the exception of "Nell", which ran for 26.
