Little Women (1981 TV Series)
''Little Women'', also known as or , is a 1981 Japanese animated television series adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's 1868-69 two-volume novel ''Little Women''. The series is directed by Kazuya Miyazaki (a veteran Toei director whose credits included ''Cutie Honey'' and '' UFO Robo Grendizer'' among others) and produced by Toei Animation for the Kokusai Eiga-sha (Movie International) company.
