Hana no Ko Lunlun (花の子ルンルン, Hana no Ko Runrun), lit. The Flower Child Lunlun and Lulu, The Flower Angel is a magical girl anime by Toei Animation. It was directed by Hiroshi Shidara and written by Shiro Jinbo and was greatly successful in the West, particularly in Europe and in Latin America, as well as in Japan. An edited English-language dub of a few episodes titled Angel also made this series one of, if not the first, magical girl anime works to reach the United States, well over a decade before Sailor Moon.
A movie adaptation, Hana no Ko Runrun Konnichiwa Sakura no Sono was released on March 1980.
Plot[]
Long ago, plant spirits and fairy-like creatures lived in harmony with mankind, but gradually humans began to rise toward greed and cruelty and the plant spirits immigrated to another world they dubbed the "Flowern Star". However, their legacy remained in people who truly knew the meaning of love and kindness. A talking dog and cat pair, Nouveau and Cateau, were sent to Earth to find one such person to find a magical flower, the symbol of the Flowern Star's ruling family, so that a new ruler could ascend the throne.
