 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 26-episode anime adaptation by Tatsunoko Production of the famous fairy tale. Cinderella Monogatari opens as Cinderella's life changes for the worse when her father leaves on a business trip. No sooner is he out of sight than Cinderella's stepmother has unceremoniously moved her own daughters into Cinderella's room, thrown out her things, handed her a servant's dress, and put her to work doing all manner of menial labor. The series covers Cinderella's trials and tribulations as she tries to adapt to her new life while suffering the abuse of her mother and sisters. All the while, her fairy godmother, Paulette, subtly watches her and tries to influence events to fix Cinderella's life without her noticing. One of her first acts in this is to grant several of the animals of the house the power of speech, thus giving Cinderella companions in her dog Patch, a pair of mice named Chuchu and Bingo, and a bird named Pappy. The animals provide her company as well as help with her chores. The biggest twist in the series is that Cinderella meets her Prince Charming early - except here he's the roguish Prince Charles, who has a habit of sneaking out of the castle and meets Cinderella by accident while disguised as a commoner. The two have a few misunderstandings before becoming friends and start having adventures together. Meanwhile, the villainous Duke Zaral plots against the royal family throughout the story, at times working Cinderella into his plots and machinations. The series eventually culminates in the ball in which the fairy tale ends, but with its own unique twist.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Cinderella Monogatari originally aired on NHK in 1996. It never received an official US release, but it was dubbed for English speaking markets overseas by Mondo TV, an Italian distributor that co-produced the series with Tatsunoko and also handled the more notable European release. Most of these foreign adaptations are easily found on YouTube.

 Adaptation Expansion: The 26-episode series is based on a relatively short story. To fill all the extra time, many new characters are added and the nearby town in heavily featured. The series spends a lot of time dealing with the stepfamily's mistreatment and developing Cinderella and Charles's relationship, (though the former is somewhat Bowdlerized, as described below). There's also an entirely new subplot about a greedy duke trying to usurp the throne.
