Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Majokko Tickle is an early Magical Girl series created by Go Nagai, airing from 1978 to 1979 on TV Asahi. The anime was produced by Toei Company, but not Toei Animation, with the animation production farmed out to several other studios, including Sunrise. It was the first magical girl show since the end of Majokko Meg-chan in 1975, and Tickle (after Meg-chan) was the second magical girl to be voiced by Rihoko Yoshida. Due to being Lighter and Softer than Nagai's usual oeuvre, it's one of his more obscure works, despite having been broadcast in Europe as well as Japan. (Interestingly, although Nagai created the series and wrote the opening theme song lyrics, he did not draw the spinoff manga.)Tiko, a shy Japanese schoolgirl, receives a book as a gift from her father on her eleventh birthday. When Tiko opens the book, she releases Tickle, a mischievous fairy who was imprisoned inside the book for playing pranks on people. Tickle spends the series living with Tiko (having cast a spell so that the family believes she's Tiko's sister), using her powers to solve everyday problems, and of course playing tricks on people, particularly Tiko's annoying kid sister, Hina.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Annoying Younger Sibling: Hina. She loves nothing more than butting into whatever her "sisters" are doing.

Book Burning: The final episode, in which Tickle exposes herself as a witch when she uses her magic to stop her mother from being impaled by a knife. This means Tickle must return to the magic realm, but Hina, upset that she can't come with Tickle, angrily tosses the book that was to have been Tickle's only way home into a bonfire. Despite being warned that she'll lose her powers if she lets the book burn out, Tickle refuses to leave her human family and lets the book burn, accepting the loss of her magic as a consequence.

Art Evolution: The episodes animated by Neomedia, especially the first dozen or so, feature very poor animation in general. The animation quality begins to improve with episode 14 (the first to be animated by Kaze Production), with both Tickle and Tiko receiving updated character designs that looked less like Go Nagai's original designs. Sunrise (then known as Nippon Sunrise) became involved beginning with episode 31, and Sunrise's episodes feature generally the best quality of animation.
