My mother, like many other moms out there, grew up watching the beloved series, Candy Candy (1976). It was a staple of her childhood and holds a special place in her heart. Sadly, over time this cherished series has become increasingly difficult to access. Once available on YouTube, it has since been removed and is now only available through DVD purchases or on pirating sites.

Candy Candy is more than just an anime; it's a piece of nostalgia that connects us back to simpler times. Its absence from popular streaming platforms like Crunchyroll not only deprives fans of reliving their childhood memories but also prevents new generations from experiencing this classic show.

The demand for retro anime content is growing; according to Parrot Analytics (2019), older anime titles have seen an increase in demand by 14% globally over the past five years. Adding Candy Candy onto Crunchyroll's platform would not only satisfy the nostalgic cravings of older fans but could also introduce younger audiences to this timeless classic.

We understand that licensing issues can be complex and challenging, but we believe that with enough support from fans and viewers alike, Crunchyroll can make this happen.

For all those who grew up with Candy as their companion and for those who wish they had - let's unite our voices! Let's urge Crunchyroll to bring back our beloved series so we can share it with future generations too! Please sign this petition today.
