Onegai My Melody is a fantasy/magical girl anime based off the popular My Melody character by Sanrio that originally aired in Japan from 2005 to 2009.

While the series was never brought over to North America, it is believed that an English dub of the series was aired on at least one international Cartoon Network station (Cartoon Network Philippines) under the title My Melody beginning on November 11, 2008 with a 7pm premiere. The dub reportedly aired on weekdays with a 12:30pm timeslot as of May 2009. When the dub ceased to air is unknown, as well as whether or not the entire season was dubbed.[1] [2]

The series also aired on Animax Asia according to Emily Woo Zeller, who voiced Kuromi in the dub.[3] The English cast listed on Anime News Network also features several other voice actors/actresses who were regulars in Animax-based dubs, making it possible the series also aired dubbed on international Animax stations.[4] This dub may also be the basis for the Italian dub, as Italian television provider Mediaset at one point had listings online for the show under its English title.

A bootleg DVD was released in Malaysia, which claims to be dubbed in English.[5][6] However, it appears to have been reported that the DVD merely features the Japanese audio with fan-made English hardsubs by the group Eggplant fansubs.[7]

An English dubbed clip was reportedly available at one point on YouTube; however, it has since been taken down.[8]
