00:00Episode 1: Megu-chan the Little Witch
00:08Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:18Today's topic is Little Witch Megu-chan.
00:21This film, Little Witch Megu, depicts the next candidate for queen of the demon world, living in the human world and engaging in slapstick comedy with her new family, while also depicting fierce competition with her rivals.
00:37Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:40Magical Girl Megu-chan was a projected animation production that aired a total of 72 episodes between 1974 and 1975.
00:55The story begins with a young girl named Megu descending from the demon world to the human world while hanging from an umbrella.
01:03However, a sudden gust of wind blew the umbrella away, causing trouble in the town where the humans fell, but they somehow managed to reach their destination, the Kanzaki family home.
01:18At the Kanzaki household, the senior witch, Mami, introduces herself and her family and also explains the training she will undergo in the human world as a candidate for the next queen.
01:31Mami also uses magic to make the Kanzaki family remember that Megu is the eldest daughter, or at least the daughter, of the family, while also explaining to Megu the existence and importance of family.
01:47The next morning, while having breakfast with her family, Megu is unable to call her father "Papa" for some reason, and instead calls him "Uncle."
01:55Meanwhile, her younger brother, Ravi, mischievously puts a frog in Megu's coffee cup, causing a commotion.
02:04After an argument with her father, who scolded her for fighting with her siblings, Megu was hit across the cheek, which led to her suddenly running away from home.
02:13Later, while Megu is on the beach thinking about what family is, another queen candidate, Non, appears from the sea and suddenly attacks her with magic.
02:27Then, after being hit by a powerful attack magic, Megu is thrown into the sea and drowns because she cannot swim.
02:36He somehow manages to escape and unconsciously returns to the Kanzaki house in the rain.
02:42However, if you stay in the ocean or rain for a long time, your body will get cold, you will develop a high fever, and you will lose consciousness.
02:51Megu is suffering from a high fever, but her family appears in her dream and encourages her to overcome her illness, which makes her realize what family is.
03:03The next morning, when Megu woke up, she found her family, who had been caring for her all night, by her bedside, and she was able to call her father "Dad" with honest feelings.
03:16From this moment on, Megu truly becomes a member of the Kanzaki family, and a fierce competition for the throne with her rival Non begins.
03:31Now, let me introduce the main characters.
03:37Megu Kanzaki is the main character of this work, and is sent from the demon world to the human world to train as a queen candidate.
03:46In the human world, she lives as part of the family of Mami, a senior witch, and attends junior high school during the day.
03:54She was a cute-faced tomboy with a short temper and impulsive personality, which meant that she would react quickly to her younger brothers and sisters' pranks.
04:04Additionally, Megu possesses excellent magical skills, and when using magic, she chants the spells Technic Technica Sharanra, and when necessary, she sometimes uses a heart-shaped pendant.
04:19Gonnon is another candidate for queen, and is a brilliant student known in the demon world for her talents in both literature and arts.
04:29Her personality is the complete opposite of Megu's, showing no emotion, responding calmly and coldly to everything, and often portrayed as looking down on people.
04:40As the daughter of the Go family, who live near the Kanzaki family, she attends the same junior high school as Megu, but she always challenges Megu at school.
04:52Additionally, when casting magic, instead of using a specific spell, she would activate it by holding a diamond-shaped pendant and making a V sign with her fingers over her eyes.
05:05Kanzaki Rabi is Megu's younger brother, and although there are constant sibling fights between them, with him playing many pranks on Megu, including lifting her skirt, his simple character sometimes results in him being taken advantage of by Joe.
05:23On the other hand, he is actually a kind boy who cares for his family, and in the play he confesses that he loves his older sister Megu.
05:32Kanzaki Apo is Megu's younger sister and a slightly precocious kindergartener.
05:40He usually teams up with Rabi to play pranks on Megu, but he is also often seen hitting Megu or Rabi with a big hammer when they say or do something inappropriate.
05:53Mami Kanzaki is Megu's senior witch, and acts as a mother figure and guardian to her in the human world.
06:04In fact, she was once a candidate for queen, competing with the witch Kieran, but because of her passionate love affair with her father, she gave up on the idea of being queen and got married.
06:16In the play, she supports Megu with her gentle and kind personality, and is also an active witch who can still use magic.
06:25My father is a generous and kind father who runs a company that handles events such as exhibitions and lectures.
06:36Even after their marriage, he went about his daily life without knowing that his wife Mami was a witch, but since Megu came, Mami has started using magic more frequently, and there have been many scenes where he is left scratching his head at mysterious phenomena.
06:52Goh Ki-lan is Non's senior witch, and becomes a mother figure and guardian to Non in the human world.
07:04She still feels a sense of rivalry towards Mami, with whom she competed as a candidate for queen, and her fiery personality contributes to her constant encouragement of Non, who is also a candidate for queen, to never lose to Megu.
07:17The Queen is an investigator who monitors the behavior and activities of the two Queen candidates and reports back to the Queen.
07:28Although she is in charge of an important job, she is quite clumsy, leads a sloppy daily life, and is more rigid with Non than the kind-hearted Meg due to her personal joys and sorrows.
07:40He usually lives in a clock tower on the outskirts of town, and uses as his Skyma a female cat named Furuful, who is afraid of humans, and a male named Karasukuro, who wears a clover-shaped eye patch on his left eye.
07:57Meg and Non are friends at junior high school, and Meg's best friend, Loco, is a playful girl whose trademark is her dragonfly glasses.
08:05At school, he is the class leader and boss of the Jishin family, who always does things his own way.
08:14Emi is a transfer student with a lovely appearance and the ability to use hypnosis as her special skill.
08:21Yuta is a boy with a gentle personality who is good at making paper airplanes.
08:28Also appearing in the story are Meg's homeroom teacher, Mr. Omatsu, a passionate teacher.
08:35Also, regarding the characters related to the demon world, in order to choose a new queen, the queen selected Meg and Non from the magic school and sent them to the human world to train.
08:50Furthermore, while receiving reports from the two men from the head investigator, he would also reach out to them directly when necessary.
09:00Saturn is an evil queen of darkness who holds a grudge against the current queen, and uses a large scythe like that of the Grim Reaper as a weapon to try to eliminate Meg and Non, who are candidates for queen.
09:16In the final battle, he corners Meg, but with the support of his family and friends, Meg unleashes a powerful magic spell to revive the knight, and he is destroyed.
09:27Penny was a classmate of Mami's at magic university, and one day she suddenly appeared at the Kanzaki household, summoning the other classmates and holding a class reunion, while ignoring Mami and continuing to stay at the Kanzaki household.
09:44However, during the battle with Saturn, he rushes to the rescue of Meg, who is in a desperate situation.
09:51Bell was a former candidate for queen, but after using underhanded tactics, she incurred the queen's wrath, had her magical powers taken away, and was banished from the demon world.
10:03In the play, Meg, upon learning of Belle's circumstances, breaks the rules and loses her life by teaching her magic. However, the Queen, understanding the situation, revives Meg, and Belle is allowed to live in the human world with her daughter, whom she had left behind in the demon world.
10:22As an aside, this work explains witches and the demon world, which were not well known in the West at the time, through mysterious powers and magic, and, unlike previous works, is characterized by a worldview in which the human world and the demon world exist on the same dimension.
10:44In the play, the emphasis is placed on the inhabitants of the demon world who view humans who are unaware of the existence of the demon world as ignorant and look down on and scorn the human world, but Meg and Non are also required to understand the human world and to have the qualities of a queen who can accept opposing ideas.
11:05Therefore, Meg's excessive reliance on human emotions and her tendency to look down on humans are a lack of the necessary balance, and it has been pointed out that she lacks the qualities of a queen, which also influences the queen's final decision.
11:20Although the story unfolds in this way, by showcasing Meg's feminine charm, including her sex appeal, it has appealed not only to young girls but also to young boys, and has become very popular with a wide range of ages and genders.
11:41Now, it's finally the final episode.
11:44One spring night, Meg and Non receive a letter from the Queen.
11:52The letter said that his training in the human world had ended and he was to return to the demon world the next day.
12:02Meg tells Mami about this, but tells her that she will not return to the demon world because it would mean being separated from her family, and that she will remain in the human world.
12:10Mami is troubled by Meg's firm decision, but she hardens her heart and tries to erase all traces of Meg in the Kanzaki household.
12:23While clearing out all of Meg's belongings from her room, Mami holds back her tears and slaps the rebellious Meg across the cheek in an attempt to convince her to return to the demon world.
12:36Meg then understands Mami's true intentions and agrees to return to the demon world, but when she sees Mami use magic to erase her family's memories of her, she is overcome with great sadness.
12:52Afterwards, Mami's magic was supposed to erase the family's memories of Meg, but for some reason they immediately remembered Meg, so Mami had to cast the spell again and again.
13:07In the midst of all this, Meg, unable to say goodbye to her family, leaves the Kanzaki household in tears of grief and heads back to the demon world in a carriage that has been sent to pick her up.
13:20That night, Rabi and Apo meet Meg in a dream and remember her. However, Apo ignores the question of whether Rabi is alive or dead and goes out alone into the pouring rain to look for Meg.
13:35When Apo's parents found out about this, they went out to look for him and brought him home a short time later, soaked to the skin and unconscious with a high fever.
13:49At that time, Meg had returned to the demon world with Non, and she heard from Mr. Cho, who was being punished for numerous work failures, that Apo was suffering from a high fever and was on the verge of death.
14:02Upon hearing this, Meg tries to return to the human world despite being ordered to wait within the palace, but Non becomes enraged at Meg's attempt to abandon the queen's tactical challenge and challenges her to a magical showdown.
14:21Meg wants to hurry back to the human world, but Non attacks without hesitation, and a fierce magical showdown begins between the two.
14:33However, Non, who is superior in magical skills, overwhelms Meg, but Meg challenges Non to a fight, and a fierce exchange of punches and grappling ensues, at which point the queen appears.
14:46The Queen of Wrath, seeing their appearance and behavior as unbecoming of queen candidates, orders Meg to return to the human world and start her training again, citing her excessive desire to be human and Non to be ignorant of humans.
15:04The scene changes and Meg appears in front of Apo, who is suffering from a high fever, and calls out to Apo, who notices her, while Mami is surprised.
15:16Later, Meg explains to Mami about starting her training again, and Mami restores Meg's memories to her family again.
15:28The next morning, after the rain has stopped, Meg heads off to school with a smile on her face, as her parents see her off as usual, and the show ends.
15:43Now let's take a look at Meg's daily life.

18:31What did you think?
18:37This is a memorable piece that I used to watch with my sister, who had the channel rights for that day.
18:43I think it was an anime aimed at girls that was also quite popular among male students.
18:48Also, among the boys, there were those who were in favor of Megu and those who were not, and I was in the minority of those who were not.
18:56Which one did you like best?
19:00So that's it for now. See you again soon.
19:05Goodbye
