About Tongari Boushi no Memole

If you are hunting for a new fantasy series, Tongari Boushi no Memole (とんがり帽子のメモル) deserves a look (1984). The setup goes like this. The setup: Memoru is one of 245 people who came to earth from the Riruru Star when their ship had an emergency crash-landing on earth. Memoru's people have such tiny bodies that they could stand on a human's palm.

As things develop, one day she hears lovely music, and she follows its source and comes upon a huge house she hasn't seen before to find a girl taller than her playing on the piano. Memoru visited her again secretly with her companions Popitu, Rupangu, and Pi, but the human girl, Marielle, seemed sick and likely to die any moment. Feeling sad for the girl, Memoru's tear drops on the girl's lips.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Memoru (Naoko Watanabe) and Pii (Kumiko Nishihara) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds. With 50 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
