Sekai Meisaku Douwa: Manga Series

Synopsis

Another of Toei 's World Famous Fairy Tale series consisting of 20 stories, 10 minutes each. Note: It's not known how exactly they were released, but Toei's English languaged page seems to suggest a direct-to-video release with 10 episodes on November 1975, 5 episodes on February 1979 and another 5 on February 1983. This, however, is contradicting the claim of first ever OVA animation being released in 1983 and is also ahead of the invention of the VHS. There are claims the initial home video release was on 8mm film. The original Japanese title for the entire series is also missing an official source. In 1977 it was adapted by Fred Ladd of Greatest Tales, Inc. for the American market. Furthermore, the last 4 episodes have also been released as part of the Saban's My Favorite Fairy Tales series in 1986.
