Candy

Candy Candy is a great anime. First of all, it certainly has the best soundtrack in all the animes. anyone who has even watched only one episode picks up the "watashi wa watashi wa watashi wa candy" lyrics at once. This anime series is about friendship, love without any expectations, being kind and all other feelings we lose while growing up. Candy is really great for kids as it teaches being good for just the sake of being good. I think that it is even better for grown ups as it helps us learn those long-lost virtues I have mentioned above. Also, for the people who have watched this when they were little and when there were only a couple of TV channels and a handful of cartoons only in the mornings, this series is a good reminder of childhood memories.

...this is a cartoon I strongly remember from my childhood. Couldn't have been more than five years old when my parents brought home Candy Candy for the first time. In each episode there's both laughter, crying, love and evil. Candy's originally an orphan found in the snow one day by one of the teachers from the orphanage. She grows up there but get's adopted. This family she gets to isn't such a pleasant family. Well, the father is, but the children and their mother is dreadful. While living with them Candy falls in love with a beautiful stranger that she meets one day in the forrest.

I really loved this cartoon as a child and I still do. Can't wait until I get children of my own so that I can introduce them to the wonderful world of Candy.

For those who liked Candy Candy, I recommend Sandybell, or Hello Sandybell as it is called.

This is a great soap-opera like anime, I used to watch it with my two older sisters when I was 8 years old, it was such a romantic and beautiful anime.

In the Dominican Republic "Candy Candy" was one of the most watched anime in the whole country, and many people cried a lot, so did I in some episodes

The episode that makes everybody cry so much is "No te mueras Anthony" (Don't die Anthony) me and my sister cried on the episode where Anthony dies, Anthony was Candy's first boyfriend.

Candy is an innocent and beautiful 16 year old orphan girl and she was often bullied by Anthony's cousins Elisa and Neil and even they both send her to Mexico.

This anime made me cry a lot in many episodes including the one where Anthony dies, this anime will bring tears to your eyes.

I love this show, I hope I can see it again some day.

I remember seeing this wonderful show when I was like 8 or 9 years old... Lets see... Like some 17 or 18 years ago? Gee I'm getting old... LOL I cried when her best friend left her to go live with a family, which by the way was Candy who was supposed to go... She gave up her happiness for her friend... When I watched that episode when I was little, I was really mad at her friend and cried when Candy ran after the carraige crying because she wanted to go too... I cried when she left Pony Home, I cried when her beloved Anthony died... Snif snif, pass me the kleenex... It was sweet, lovely, and sad and heart-warming... The theme song was really sweet too... I still can sing it... I used to buy all sorts of related stuff, such as coloring books, pencils, note-pads, also, my friends and I used to draw Candy and buy small Candy Christmas cards to give to friends and so on. I definitely recommend this show... I recently saw the first episode to when Candy leaves Pony Home to go and live with those awful people... Can't wait to see the rest... I rented them from a video store... There is also a site dedicated to this charming show... I forget the URL... It's pretty kool site with lots of beautiful pictures...

Gotta go...

This is one of my favorite anime series that I watched as a child in my native Dominican Republic. I looked forward to each weekly episode. The episodes were dubbed in Spanish but unfortunately I didn't get to see all of them. To this day (and I am in my 30s), I still remember the opening and ending songs that played at the beginning and ending of each episode (in Spanish of course).

Candy Candy was a phenomenon: it resembled an animated soap opera. It was so original because back then the Japanese were the first ones to come with a concept like that: an animated soap opera.

I loved how Candy was always so tomboyish and always got back to her nemesis Neil and Elisa. I hated them so much because they tried to make Candy's life miserable but she always got back at them.

Candy Candy is apt for the entire family. But be warned: it will make you cry and laugh, not exactly in that order.
