Japanese anime television series
Remi, Nobody's Girl (Japanese: 家なき子レミ, Hepburn: Ie Naki Ko Remi) is a 26-episode Japanese anime television series by Nippon Animation, broadcast from 1996 to 1997 across Japan on the Fuji Television network as an installment to Nippon Animation's famed World Masterpiece Theater series. The show was directed by Kusaba Kouzo, written by Man Shimada with character design by Ooshiro Katsu. The story is adapted from Sans famille, an 1878 French novel, written by Hector Malot (adapted previously to anime in 1977, titled Nobody's Boy: Remi). This version made major changes from the book, including changing the gender of the main character or the "Swan" chapter, along with many other main events.
The show began airing on September 1, 1996, but was canceled by Fuji TV on account of low ratings. It ended on March 23, 1997, with a total episode count of 26 episodes. The series was later aired by the anime satellite television network, Animax, who translated and dubbed the series into English for broadcast across its respective English-language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia, under the title Remi, Nobody's Girl, as well as other languages.
