Mizuki has done an amazing job on the characters.Love,death,loss,despare,joy are all portrayed with a touch of innocence that this day is hard to find.
Igarashi was just excellent in her illustrations.
Watanabe's score is atrue masterpiece.Salida hacia la Esperanza still hunts me to this day.
Candy Candy has written History with its success in so many different countries (Spain,Greece,Italy,France etc) and has gained enormous popularity all across Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.As a result it also boosted the anime/manga mania and helped the specific form of art be established and known across the world.
A shoujo that managed to be loved equally by males and females,Candy with its lovable(and love to hate) characters,thrilling plots and beautiful graphics proved to be a true Classic.Generations have grown watching this classic anime and the fact that after almost 40 years it still receives the same amount of love,for me just says it all. You can still find up to this day,forums dedicated to Candy,fanfiction,artwork inspired from the show etc.
A true Leader in its genre, i have nothing for respect for it.
