Little Women (1981 TV Series)
''Little Women'', also known as or , is a 1981 Japanese animated television series adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's 1868-69 two-volume novel '' Little Women''. The series is directed by Kazuya Miyazaki (a veteran Toei director whose credits included ''Cutie Honey'' and ''UFO Robo Grendizer'' among others) and produced by Toei Animation for the Kokusai Eiga-sha (Movie International) company. The series was produced as a follow-up to a TV special based on Alcott's novel the previous year by the same animation studio. The TV series character designs differ slightly from those of the TV special; Jo, for example, while she is blonde in both versions, has curled hair rather than straight hair in the TV series. This series is sometimes confused with Nippon Animation's 1987 World Masterpiece Theater TV series ''Tales of Little Women'', as both series were dubbed in English and broadcast on U.S. cable TV in the 1980s (the 1981 series on CBN, and the 1987 series on HBO).
