A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published as a book in 1905.
 It is an expanded version of the short story "Sara Crewe: or, What Happened at Miss Minchin's", which was serialized in "St. Nicholas Magazine" from December 1887.
 According to Burnett, after she composed the 1902 play "A Little Un-fairy Princess" based on that story, her publisher asked that she expand the story as a novel with "the things and people that had been left out before".
 The novel was published by Charles Scribner's Sons (also publisher of "St. Nicholas") with illustrations by Ethel Franklin Betts and the full title "A Little Princess: Being the Whole Story of Sara Crewe Now Being Told for the First Time".

 It premiered across Japan on WOWOW from November 1, 2006.
 A manga adaptation is being serialized in the "Dragon Age" magazine.
 The concept of the series is loosely based upon Frances Hodgson Burnett's novels, most notably "A Little Princess", but also "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "The Secret Garden".
 The series also draws some elements from the Gundam franchise.

Metal Armor Dragonar (機甲戦記ドラグナー , Kikō Senki Doragunā ) is a 48-episode mecha anime series, created by Sunrise and aired from 1987 to 1988.
 Devised shortly after the release of "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ", Dragonar was intended to be both a "starter" series to get new fans into mecha anime, and a potential successor to the Gundam franchise.
 In fact, its concept is to be the renewal of the first Gundam.
 Though the series enjoyed good ratings and earned a loyal fan following, it failed to surpass Gundam and ended up as a single series, probably due to its light, ZZ Gundam-like take on the real robot mecha genre.
 Game developer Banpresto had Dragonar appear in two of its popular franchises, "Super Robot Wars" and "Another Century's Episode"; fans responded positively, and Sunrise acknowledged them in 2005 by releasing a memorial DVD collection of the series, a remastered version of the previous two-part LD boxset releases years before.

 As he's pursued through the city, his classmate Hina Yumihara appears in a giant robot of her own.
