I watched this and all the other old, "original" Japanese anime when I was a child living in Japan around 1971 (my mother is from Nagano). Minashigo Hatchi, Hakushon Daimou, Ge Ge Ge No Kitaro, and shows like Kamen Rider and Ultraman, and more. When we moved to the states I was teased in grade school when I brought all of my anime theme song 45 records to show and tell. I was lucky in the 80's we had a Japanese video shop locally where I could rent VHS tapes bootlegged or brought from Japan. Now I'm 47 and I still watch anime. When I wear my anime t-shirts, I get super pissed when people (mostly kids) point at my shirt and ask me, "Do you know what that is on your shirt?" B**ch, I've been watching anime for 45 f***ing years, you don't even know the half of it." I don't actually say that, but I want to.
That's all very interesting. I've played collected quite a few older anime themes & played them to my Japanese friends to see if the knew them, some of the really old ones they didn't know, but most of the ones from the 1980s onward they remembered, & one of them was impressed I had the theme to Dr Slump, which she never expected to hear outside Japan!
That is very cool that you watched Anime for 45 Years! Anime is a huge part of my Life! Sally The Witch is probably one of my Favorite Animes ever! Along with Sailor Moon, Attacker You, Candy Candy and many more!
These old animes are great treasures, aren't they? And Sally is wonderful. Unfortunately she's unknown in Brazil. However, other old animes are popular here, like Princess Knight and Kimba, the white lion, by Osamu Tesuka.
@@totallynotaoi4662 I know that, I was talking about rebooting the show now, but I doubt that would work now because she isn't as interesting to the newer audience, and sorry for getting you confused I should have been more specific.
@@lazysayuki0007 I wish they rebooted this again. It seems like it would be a interesting watch despite it not having the same standards as anime has had for the past 40 years.
It's so sad that this anime is unknown in Brazil, where many people watch Japanese animations. However, the first shojo anime to be popular here was Princess Knight (Ribon no Kishi), by Osamu Tesuka.
@@mahouradioanime1571 Eu consegui ver alguns episódios em um site. Descobri a existência de Sally the witch durante pesquisas sobre o gênero mahou shoujo
Lyrics: She came from the Magical Kingdom. A girl with a little bit of charm. Sally! Sally! With strange power in the town, Dreams and laughter overflow. Sally! Sally! Little Witch Sally! Houki ni notte yattekita Chotto ochame na ohimesama Sally! Sally! Mahou no kotoba wo tonaeruto Ai to kibou ga tobidasuno! Sally! Sally! Mahoutsukai Sally! She came riding on a broomstick. A princess that is cutely mischiveous. Sally! Sally! When she chants the the magic spell, Love and hope jump out! Sally! Sally! Little Witch Sally! Sally! Sally! Sally-chan! Sally! Sally! Sally-chan!
Watched this in Poland in late 80s, early 90s - it was an italian dub version, with a polish voiceover - and you could hear both, while watching. I thought it was an italian cartoon at the time. Crazy.
I'm in Canada too. I started watching this subbed. (It's on Skaro Hunting Society if anyone cares) I had no idea Quebec showed this. I remember catching french episodes of Captain Harlock when a long time ago when I was a teen too. You guys got a lot of cool anime before the rest of us, or at least I only remember the stuff I grew up with in the 90s.
Where it all began! We've come all the way from this to Sailor Moon to, uhhh, Madoka, to the latest Pretty Cure! Anyway, I'd recommend this. It's actually pretty well written and also really cute! 👍🌌💖👱♀️
The character looks very cute, the animation is pretty good especially considering todays standards(Oh the irony. It's actually funny). But is this inspired from Sabrina in some way? I dont know exactly how old Sabrina is ó.0
@@boyoboyo2272 Typically you'll regret something that isn't meant for your demographics. This is clearly an anime meant to be seen by children. Though, I'd admit to being ashamed by just listening to this song. It's so catchy I can't resist going back to here once more.
I'm honestly surprised this wasn't one of those 60s anime that made it to America alongside Astroboy, Kimba, Gigantor and Speed Racer. It seems tailor made for western tastes of the time and there's nothing really "Japanese" about it. Did they think that a show aimed at girls wouldn't sell?
@@anirudhsukigakirei9397 Actually, several European countries did show shojo before Sailor Moon. In fact, Sally was shown in France and Italy. It was just America that seemed to ignore the market. In fact I can't think of an American TV cartoon with a female protagonist (excluding Disney and Betty Boop) before Josie and the Pussycats and Penelope Pitstop. Apparently Princess Knight almost came over here in the early 70s but NBC said no because of the gender bender themes, though it did get shown on some local stations.
Have More Shoujo Animes In 1960s: 1963: Angel's Hill 1964: Rumi-Chan Kyoshitsu 1965: Suteki Crayon Lita-Chan 1966: Super Sana 1967: Ribon No Kishi And Time Heroine Miyako 1968: Akane-Chan And Kirameki PriFai 1969: Himitsu No Akko-Chan And Attack No.1
I know this is 2 years old but uh you do know this anime is old right? and I mean not old but OOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDD I am talking 1960's old there was no color yet.
If you want to watch it badly, you can look on kissanime.ru I advise you, there are NSFW pop up ads, but if you don't disable your ad-blocking, you will have to wait an additional 30 seconds for your video to load It is a very sweet and wholesome show. My favorite is Yo-chan. Being an older sister of sooo annoying boys, I can relate ;D But in the end she loves her brothers even if they're obnoxious. Same with Sally and Kabu.
