I watched Candy back when I was about 8 on DVDs that my parents bought. This was in the 2000. My parents grew up with this series and were big fans of manga, enough to the extent we have manga in the basement. One of those collections were Candy, Candy.

Candy is an anime that had a lasting impact. Even now, more than 10 years later, I can still summarize the plot and character names. I can't say the same for many others.

This anime made me laugh, cry, burn in fury at the wicked step siblings and stepmother. I watched in earnest to find ... out who Candy's benefactor was. It was a long ride but not once did I feel bored.

Of course, standards have changed. Soap opera-like anime isn't popular, the art and animation may seem like toture to watch, the story may feel cringey at times but -

I remember when I was a little girl, swooning at Candy's love interests and crying my eyes out at certain arcs. I still smile when I remember this.
