About Perrine
Nippon Animation aired Perrine Monogatari in 1978 in the World Masterpiece Theater line, adapting Hector Malot with young Perrine crossing Europe with her mother. Early episodes cover the road trek, photo cart work and the push to the grandfather mill town. The middle stretch follows Perrine alone at the factory, hiding her name while winning over workers and the stern owner.
The closing run pays off the hidden identity with the reunion the trek pointed toward, ending after 53 episodes. Hiroshi Saito directed with the gentle travel detail the strand was known for. Watch episodes 1 through 53 in broadcast order, since the road hardships and factory bonds carry straight to the reveal.
Good to know
Watch all 53 episodes in broadcast order, since the road trek and the factory cover build step by step toward the reunion. The show softens Malot with extra village warmth and longer mill arcs. No sequel connects to this version, making the 1978 run fully closed. Track Perrine, Baron the dog and the mill folk closely because their kindness shapes the ending.
