Taken from the manga of Yumiko Igarashi and Kyoko Mizuki, published in 1975, the cardboard in 115 episodes made us known the history of the Ortalla Candy struggling with a series of misadventures and loves finished badly and also some joy, such as the dream come true of becoming a nurse.
You would expect a nice ending for a cardboard like this but that’s not what happened. Indeed, just compared to the ending, there is a lot of confusion and badly happy.
Let’s start by saying that The conclusion of the cartoon is very different from that of the manga And that, moreover, the final scene of the Italian version, thanks to a wise use of dubbing, has been modified.
In the comic, Candy marries Albert But it is certainly not the one who hoped for the numerous fans (at least in Italy), most of whom certainly leaned on for a story with a happy ending with Terence, a young unconventional passionate of theater that Candy knows in London.
The Italian “happy ending”, in fact, is insured only by the off -field voice that makes us dream a happy future between Candy and Terence. The girl learns about the newspapers that Terence left Susanna, therefore opens the possibility of a flame return While Albert in this case remains only a good friend.
A finale that, however sweetened, remains open enough and because the children dreamed of seeing kisses and hugs rather between the two lovers and a nice wedding in style. And instead none of this!
However, among the fans there are also those who have not surrendered and on YouTube there are many videos in which photomontages recreate the ending with the bows that many hoped …
There are even those who dreamed of a child for the couple …
The story has had four different versions over the years (the last release in 2010): the final of the manga, the Italian open ending, the unofficial ending in which Candy meets Terence and the two are rolled up eternal love (now it is no longer on the net) and the latest book by Kyoko Mizuki “Candy Candy Final Story’s “ In which the protagonist is 30 years old he lives in Avon together with a tal anohito who does not know who he is (Terence, Albert or who else?).
It is not difficult to imagine that, in all this confusion, there was a disagreement between the two creators also ended up in court for the rights of their work currently blocked (Since the late 90s it is no longer possible to transmit the cartoon).
Even if the audience was discontent, perhaps it would have been better to remain faithful to the original end of the comic, that is, to let Candy stop making crocerossin at least in his loving life. Marrying Albert had the opportunity to make a more mature choice of love and maybe, he would have “saved” many girls of the 80-’90s from Crocerossina syndrome, born precisely following the vision of this cardboard.
