Majokko Megu-chan (魔女っ子メグちゃん, lit. Meg the Little Witch) is a popular magical girl anime series. The manga was created by Tomô Inoue and Makiho Narita, while the 72-episode anime series was produced by Toei Animation between 1974 and 1975. This series is considered an important forerunner of the present day magical girl genre, as the series' characterization and general structure exerted considerable influence over future shows in the same genre. Most notably, several of the show's recurring motifs inspired Toei's Sailor Moon, AIC's Pretty Sammy, and (to a lesser degree) Wedding Peach.
