Description Well this is something I have been thinking about doing after watching some of SourcererZZ's Magical Girl Anime History Videos (I'm on the sixth video by the way.), I feel like starting a little project of magical girl artwork from different years from the classics to the modern era, starting with the 1960s.

Sally the Witch - The magical girl anime that started it all. Inspired by the classic American sitcom, Bewitched, it's about a young girl named Sally Yumeno, who happens to be a princess of the Magic Kingdom with a longing to visit the mortal world. She teleports by mistake to the mid world (Earth) where she uses her magic to fend off two burglars menacing two schoolgirls whom she befriends, the tomboyish Yoshiko Hanamura (nicknamed Yotchan) and girly Sumire Kasugano. 20 years later, a new series was produced and takes place a few years after the end of the original series and concludes with the original video animation, Sally the Witch: Mother's Love Is Eternal.

Himitsu no Akko-Chan - The very first magical girl manga series published in Ribon from 1962 to 1965. An anime adaptation was made in 1969, three years after Sally was broadcast and it would later have three movies. It's about an elementary school girl named Atsuko Kagami, who likes mirrors. Her favourite mirror, given to her by her mother (or in some versions by her father as a present from India) is broken and instead of throwing it away, she chooses to bury it in her garden. She is contacted by a spirit (or in some cases, the Queen of the Mirror Kingdom) who is touched that Akko treated the mirror so respectfully and the girl is given a gift of a magical mirror and taught enchantments that will allow her to transform into anything, she wishes and back to normal. In Western versions, she goes by different names, Stilly, Caroline or Julie

Sally The Witch belongs to Mitsuteru Yokoyama.
Himitsu No Akko-Chan belongs to Fujio Akatsuka.

Thanks. It's a little project, I've started work on. I'm working on magical girl anime of the 1970s from Marvellous Melmo to Hana No Ko Lunlun.
