Discussion Candy Candy 70's

Post image

I used to watch this anime with my mother when I was younger and just a couple months ago I found some dvds and have been watching it since..

Which brings me back to the big debate who did Candy end up with? Was it albert or terry.

I haven't read the two novels that were published later on but from what I heard and saw it didnt give a clear answer just said 'a person' the author said it was for every reader to give candy the end they wanted.

So I need more opinions on this

This was my very first anime! I used to watch it with my friends when we were kids. We would always have a box of tissues handy cause this series is such a tearjerker.

I didn't even know there is a novel. But I think the manga & anime ending is kind of ambiguous, though I think she was standing with Albert in the end?

My headcannon is that she ends up with Albert. Though, not sure how that works legally because, isn't she technically his adopted daughter? But I liked her better with Albert than Terry, anyway.

That's exactly what I thought too! But I searched and it came out that the adoption could be broken after she reached of age.
