Daddy Long Legs (Watashi no Ashinaga Ojisan) has always been one of my favorite Shojo anime. (I knew about Shojo anime upon reading this article ) It says, a Shojo anime has always been about character and story above action.
I super like the story because I could really relate well with the character of Judy Abbott. Her cheerfulness in spite of everything that she had experienced. This is a good anime I highly recommend to all kids and feeling a kid out there. This was based from the novel of Jean Webster.
Here is the premise: (taken from Wikipedia)
Daddy Long Legs, Shojo Anime
Judy Abbott is an orphan who has been given the opportunity to study at the prestigious Lincoln Memorial High School by a mysterious benefactor whom she only knows as “John Smith”. She has only seen his shadow once, and because of his long legs, she calls him “Daddy Long Legs”. The only payment she is to give her benefactor is that she write him letters every month, with no expectation of them being responded to.
The anime covers 3 years of Judy’s life, starting with her leaving the John Grier Home orphanage, and ending with her finishing high school.
