To me, Candy Candy was always the epitome of kitsch. The over-the-top drama, coupled with the overload of pinks, laces, and ruffles wasn't even feminine; it was surreal.
I'm sure the creators were trying to hit some of those tragedy marks that made Marco (1976) so poignant, but this whole show only made me and my brother and sister laugh like crazy.
Candy Candy was way too much and that was awesome. Even her eyes had a hallucinating amount of sparkles that made her look alien.
In a nutshell: this show was a BLAST!
