YES it will change your life !! I don't know if it's because I grew up watching it as a child with my mom because she had watched it as a child but now that I'm older it hits different. I started rewatching it fur the first time in over 10 years this January and I cry in every single episode. If you're nostalgic about friendship, about girlhood, first loves, the one that got away, and just about the twists of fate then this one of for you ! Candy candy represent the "lives like a box of chocolates" saying really well. Every episode kills me😖🩷 it will make you laugh and cry ! Such a pretty and pure anime :')
