?“ I also want to soar over that beautiful town. (23 years old / trading company?) Unloading/Secretary? Assistant)

?“ The scene where Kiki can't continue riding the broomstick, and the scene where I can't hear Kiki's voice make me almost cry! I also like the stupid appearance of dragonflies. (26 years old/medical?) Welfare/Specialist)

The winner was the animated film "Witch Courier Service", which was released in 1989! This adaptation of Eiko Kadono's original work and directed by animation giant Hayao Miyazaki is a classic among the classics. The 13-year-old witch Kiki soars into the sky and has a deep impression on people with the scene of a conversation with a cat. Maybe there are many female viewers who resonate with Kiki's growth, right?

The runner-up is "Sweet Little Angel", which is an adaptation of Fujio Akatsuka's original shoujo manga. This work was animated on TV several times between 1960 and 1990, and its popularity remained high. If there is a magic vanity box that the protagonist Ako-chan likes to use, what would it turn into...... Many people have thought so.

In third place is "Magic Sally", which is adapted from the original work by Mitsuki Yokoyama. From 1966 to 1968, the first episode of the TV anime was broadcast, and twenty years later, the second episode of the anime was broadcast from 1989 to 1991. It may not be an exaggeration to say that "Sally the Magician" is the originator of Japanese girl-oriented animation.

Two of the top three are from the 1960s, and sure enough, the true masterpieces have stood the test of time. So for everyone in front of the screen, what is the magical girl work NO.1 in your heart?
