Anime?

I didn't know it's anime...I watched it when I was a little child (in Poland it's still on TV) and I loved it (oh..I still love it :) ) OP by Zbigniew Wodecki is great ^^

Ha! Same here !! I didn't know it was an anime :P I also used to watch it when it was little ^__^ I really loved it too~

Oh well, I guess I'll have to add it to my "competed" list ;)

I same here i didn't even know it was an anime untill 5 months ago

I think the 90 % of people who watched it, dont know that was an anime create in Japan ;p

more like 99%.

this is anime @___@ omg.. my parents used to watch this xD

i tak 90% osób które to oglądała jest z Polski :) wiadomeee ^^
osobiście wolałam Muminki , które do tej pory oglądam jeśli tylko jest okazja

omg this can't be... that's a shock 0_0

OMG! Its anime(i dont know this too, lol) from my deep childhood, brings back lot of memories.

Lol, I didn't know this before, my friend told it to me O_O

Well, I have it on my Completed Anime List ^^"

Waiiii, I still have a CD of this >w<

Maya is an Japan/German/Austria production ;]

The most popularly in Poland XD

Pszczółka Maja!

Wow, I didnt know it was anime. I like polish opening, altrough I like czech opening sung by Karel Gott better. You can check it out on youtube, Karel Gott has awesome voice, opening is called "Včelka Mája", which basically means Maya the Bee in Czech :D

To be exactly, it's a Japanese-German-Austrian Jointventure with Character Designs by American Cartoonist Martin Murphy ("Mr. Magoo") like several other Series from that period including "Pinocchio"and "Wickie the Viking".

It seems like once these early WMT-(Euro-)Anime had proven successfull they were able to afford hiring "real" Manga Artists for the Drawing as you can see in other Classics like "Rascal the Raccoon", "The Story of Bannertail the Squirrel" or "Anne of Green Gables"

^what he said


Yeah it's an anime that airs here in germany, so i'm gonna watch it :D

OMFG! I just learned that it's an anime O_o
I watched it as a little kid and loved it!

I should add it to my completed list but I don't remember it that well now.

Lol, same reaction.

I saw this as a kid dubbed in Italian, I never knew it was an anime until now. Brings back good memories.

Fun thing is that Karel Gott also made the German opening. I bet half the population could recite it.

Though today's kids grow up with a disgusting 3D-animated "remake" where the opening is sung by Helene Fischer, because apparently someone decided that all these old kid's shows needed to be stripped of everything that was good about them.

WHAT ANIME ARE YOU SPEAKING ABOUT

Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken of course! It was aired in many countries in many languages~

I could tell it was anime, but I had to look it up to make sure because I thought it might've just been anime-inspired lol. The art style and atmosphere is pretty anime-like, but it's also cartoony enough that I can see how it's hard to tell.

Nie wierze że to istnieje !! XDD

lol this is my dads childhood

This is the biggest WTF moment in my life! Czech here...

Wow!
I was living in lie for so many years! I thought it was german cartoon but it's anime? Same as Moomins? Well I need to change my first anime (Pokemon) to these two then.
I watched the hell out of them and I still have Moomin book somewhere.
I need to re-watch them, seriously...

okay i made that comment a year ago but now i realize i can only find this anime with british dub

Wow, the first anime for so many people and we didn't know it :D

Now, if you tell me "Ferdy the ant" was anime too...
Just checked - it wasn't, heh.

hmmm... lol
My mum's favourite cartoon from her childhood is actually anime x)

I used to sing the dubbed spanish Opening of this show when i was 2-3 years old back in the 80s. As many of you have commented, it's kinda mind-blowing to find out, so many years later, that it was our first anime. That explains why i remember it be so good, able to distinguish itself from others and become my first favorite show.

When i was child I hate it

This aired in Canada on YTV as "Maya the Bee" back in the early-mid 90s, and I remember it well. I'm certain that I saw every episode, although it's been over 25 years since I've last watched it. I must admit, I didn't know that it was anime when I first saw it, but I certainly enjoyed watching it.

I'd love to see this get released on DVD or Blu-ray in North America, but sadly, the chances of it happening are slim.

I'd add this to my list, but I have no idea how many episodes I have seen. I used to watch it on VHS.

Pierwsze anime w polskiej telewizji

Damn this feels so surreal...I guess I technically watched this a lot as a kid in full..so uh, so..I guess I owe it a rating...wtf tho, this feels surreal, another Czech here who's been believed this was a Czech cartoon lol, pretty funny.

But it makes perfect sense, I remember that when I was getting into anime as a kid I was looking at some of the shots thinking they did look little anime-like but I was just telling myself I was being silly. This feels little surreal.
