Ritoru Ruru to Chitchai Nakama (also known as Little Lulu and Her Little Friends) is a 26-episode anime series, produced by Nippon Animation, that ran from October 3, 1976, to April 3, 1977. This show was based on the American comics by Marjorie Buell. This anime is extremely rare and has been out of print for a long time.
An English dub was made by ZIV International in 1978. It was also dubbed in Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Availability
According to a comment on a Little Lulu intro. Little Lulu was very popular in America at the time. However, it was not popular at all in Japan.
It aired in America in the 1980s. VHS tapes were not very popular and were very expensive at the time, so barely anyone could record it.
The only known footage of the Japanese and English versions is the intro. However, the whole series is available in Spanish, courtesy of YouTuber LuLuChibi (Although the episodes are flipped and watermarked), and in Arabic, courtesy of YouTuber كرتوناتي. The RCTV YouTube channel (Formerly the Pongalo YouTube channel) also formerly hosted the Spanish dub, before taking it off the channel.
On July 20th, 2019, YouTuber Lulu1976 Archive uploaded six full episodes of the Ziv International English dub of Little Lulu which was originally uploaded by now-deleted YouTube channel Fogelogel.
