If someone asked you what the most successful anime series of all time was, what would you answer? I would guess most Western viewers would immediately think of the likes of Dragonball, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Naruto. There is good reason for such a reaction, given the massive success of said anime franchises and their continuing commodification in the form of new movies, toys, and merchandise. However, if you ask someone from Japan what the most successful anime series of all time is, you might get a very different response.
Despite the immense popularity of both Sazae-San and Chibi Maruko-chan in Japan, neither show has made much of any impact in America. Neither series has the kind of stories nor art-style expected from Japanese anime abroad. Even though I now live abroad in Japan (again, as of this writing), I also have had relatively little exposure to these two cultural juggernauts. Recently I made up for that lack a bit, though, when I went to see the 25th anniversary Chibi Maruko-chan movie, titled "Chibi Maruko-chan the Movie: A Boy from Italy", which was written by Momoko Sakura (who even wrote the song lyrics of the pop tunes that show up in the film!) and directed by Jun Takagi, who also worked on the television series. I saw the movie in raw Japanese, but the Japanese was simple enough that I could understand almost everything, barring a few of the jokes.
The long time running anime series, Chibi Maruko-chan, will get a live-action drama remake again which will air this fall. The story follows the daily life of the third grader, Maruko, as she interacts with her family and friends.
The first live-action adaptation was first aired in April 2006 with Ei Morisako as the lead title. Ayaka Itou became the next Maruko when the drama when it has been remade the following year. For the upcoming adaptation, the eight year old Maki Shinta is the next Maruko-chan.
Yattaaaaaaa! That's my favorite line now! Yup that comes from Maruko. For yall who doesn't know Chibi Maruko Chan,I'll tell you for free (yup!). Chibi Maruko Chan is a shojo manga series by Momoko Sakura, later adapted into an anime TV series by Nippon Animation, which originally aired on Fuji Television from January 7, 1990 to September 27, 1992. The series depicts the simple, everyday life of a little girl nicknamed Maruko and her family in suburban mid-seventies Japan. That's what Wikipedia said to me LOL! According to me Chibi Maruko Chan is great anime!!! Three words for that anime, FUNNY COOL JUICY! No Doubt!
