My Daddy Long Legs

My Daddy Long Legs (私のあしながおじさん, Watashi No Ashinaga Ojisan) is a Japanese animated television series based on the novel Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

This anime aired in 1990 as part of the World Masterpiece Theater series, produced by Nippon Animation and was awarded the Excellent Movie Award for Television by the Japanese Agency of Cultural Affairs for Children in 1990. It aired from 14 January to 23 December, with 40 episodes produced.

Judy Abbott is an orphan who has been given the opportunity to study at the prestigious Lincoln Memorial High School by a mysterious benefactor whom she only knows as "John Smith". She has only seen his shadow once, and because of his long legs, she calls him "Daddy Long Legs". The only payment she is to give her benefactor is that she write him letters every month, with no expectation of them being responded to.

The anime covers three years of Judy's life, starting with her leaving the John Grier Orphanage, and ending with her finishing high school.
