About [RAW] Sally the Witch

Here is what [RAW] Sally the Witch ([RAW] Mahoutsukai Sally) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, school and magic anime by Toei Animation (1966). The premise: Sally, the kind but mischievous princess of the Land of Magic, has developed an interest in the human world. Wanting to experience it for herself, she runs away and meets two girls her age—Yoshiko "Yocchan" Hanamura and Sumire Kasugano—at a department store.

As things develop, they quickly become friends and spend time at Sally's mansion, which she conjured with magic. The two girls realize they forgot something at the store, and despite it having closed for the night, they leave to fetch the item. Sally and her younger brother Cub, who had been sent by their parents to retrieve her, follow them and discover that they have been captured by a pair of thieves who were attempting to rob the store.

With fantasy at the core, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Think of it as a pick for fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
