SALLY THE WITCH // Mahou Profile: A History of Magical Girls
Channel: ErynCerise
Date: 2018-03-12

She came from a magic kingdom -- a young girl with a little charm and a LOT of legacy. It's Sally the Witch! Hop on a broomstick and come with me as we learn everything you ever wanted to know about the first magical girl anime EVER. 

CORRECTION: Sony had trademarked the name "Sunny", not copyrighted it. Actually the trademark was connected to a license Nissan had with Sony for the "Nissan Sunny" car. Wild stuff, I know.
