  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

File:Lalabel-img 984321 25893159 0 1789.jpg

Magical Girl Lalabel is an early Magical Girl series, airing on TV Asahi in 1980-1981.

Lalabel is a Magical Girl living happily in the magic world, until the day she catches the thief Biscus stealing her magic tools. Startled by her sudden appearance, Biscus swings his magic wand around and accidentally transports the two of them into the human world. Lalabel is taken in by an elderly couple, the Tachibanas, and she attends school with their granddaughter, Teko, learning about human beings and their world in the process, while continuing to chase after Biscus and foil his further attempts to swindle people.

This was the final entry in the Toei Animation/TV Asahi "Majokko" pantheon that had begun in 1966 with Mahou Tsukai Sally, as its relative lack of popularity compared to its predecessors suggested that magical girls were wearing thin; hence, its follow-up was a non-Magical Girl series, Hello Sandybell. This assumption about magical girls would be proven wrong with the success of Minky Momo and Studio Pierrot's magical girl shows later in the '80s, and Toei would re-enter the genre with its remakes of Akko-chan and Sally, which paved the way for something called Sailor Moon.
