It's a simply fantastic work. From the music along with every moment, in each emotion caused by the different situations in which our protagonists are, it's just magnificent. I don't get tired of this anime, I watched in my childhood and it still pulling out few tears every time I watch it again.Highly recommended!

STORY World Masterpiece Theatre is back at it making our hearts ache over a tragic tale about a young child... Now that her father's passed away, Perrine will suffer hardship after hardship on her long journey to meet her estranged grandfather. If traveler life wasn't tough enough with bad weather and competing business rivals, there's also illness and rugged terrain to overcome. This does not even encompass the challenges that go along with being so poor (do we buy food or camera equipment necessary to make more money? where will we sleep tonight? etc.) The pacing might be slower than average, but there's always some conflict or heartwrenching moment in every episode. ANIMATION It's very simple yet very realistic in its portrayl of the times when electricity had only recently been invented. The old factory machines were especially interesting to see in action rather than how we seen them stagnant only in museums today. SOUND Fine. Fine. It's all fine - but can we please talk about the mutilated sound effect they used for the donkey?!?!  CHARACTERS The sheer willpower and kindness of Perrine is unlike anything a regular 13 yearold should possess - and that's what makes her such a charming character. She's more mature due to the situation she's in the the lifestyle she's used to. This level of independence will later serve her well, though. OVERALL A bit lengthy, but seeing as I shed a tear or two I must say that it was worth the watch. If you enjoy seeing charcaters face many difficulties and struggle to find simple happiness, or you enjoy historical dramas, this is definitely up your alley!
