Greetings dear friends, today I want to talk about my impressions of the great anime “Candy Candy”, of course I know that many of you know it and maybe it was the first anime you have seen, in my case it was one of the first, and I was about 5 or 6 years old when I started watching it, if very small. This anime is very old and has some things that can be a little strong, of course for that time perhaps there was not so much restriction when it came to create a story as real as possible. The fact is that it has been a very controversial anime also quite ahead of its time perhaps.
More than a summary I really want to express what I think of him, I have a lot of appreciation for this character, I am very moved by her story, everything she suffered and the truth is that she had a very hard time with that Ligan family, they humiliated her a lot and the fact of being abandoned in that house on the hill one cold night represented something very sad. I have a life of abuse, I feel that sometimes she was too deluded and trusting. I don't feel that she was very much in love, but she had a lot of hooks for boys to notice her because she was tender and loyal, a great girl with good feelings. That's when I think it's not true that she was a very romantic girl, in fact, she only fell in love 3 times, although I think (laughs).
The fact that she was adopted The Ardley family specifically adopted great uncle William, by the way, I want to pause here because there is something that to me was a little bit weird or a little bit murky, did that grandfather really turn out to be the prince of the hill? Was it Albert and who was in love with her and always protected her? I don't know what you guys think about it, I would love to read you since that ending was left open, because her love Terry went to act in America and I'm not sure or I don't remember, but I don't think he didn't come back and she ends up alone.
I feel that Candy was a girl who had the ample need for attention, there was a lot of emotional lack and she because of that she was given to the whole issue of being in love, she lost the one who was her first love Anthony added that also many people treated her badly and there was some violence from Terry in that lake shore that I think many of us know, well heavy for the time.

I have many mixed emotions with this series, so many years without watching it maybe there will be things that I have forgotten, but its essence is still there, probably I will encourage me to watch it again and understand it much more, in any case I would like you to tell me what you think of it and what is your impression in this time where everything is so stigmatized so to speak. Thank you very much for your support.
