Editing Candy Candy (section)

==Anime adaptation==
Anime adaptation of the manga was produced by [[Toei Animation]], who bought the rights for the story from the manga publishers. There are some plot and character differences between the manga and the anime: Candy's age was different for several events when she grew up at Pony's Home. In the manga, she was six or seven years old when she met her Prince of the Hill, but was ten in the anime. Her sidekick pet [[raccoon]] Kurin/Clint belonged solely to the anime version. The anime achieved worldwide success. Keiko Nagita had no involvement with the Japanese anime apart from writing the lyrics to the opening and closing credits songs.

In Italy, the anime's ending was changed, albeit without the involvement of Keiko Nagita or Toei Animation. In the Italian version, Candy and Terry meet again at a train station, deciding to stay together. This ending is strictly only shown in the Italian version of the anime and nowhere else, but the animation sequences were from previous episodes.
