* FarmGirl: Anna, Nina and Remi run a farm while Jérôme works in Paris.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Navarre seems to be a nice guy on the outside, but his true identity is [[spoiler:the thief]].

* ChildrenAreInnocent: A lot of the children here are maltreated and abused by people they trust, but remain holding hope for a better future.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: God, Remi and the kids under Gaspard's care go through hell and back to get a happy ending. [[spoiler: it paid off spectacularly]].

* UsefulNotes/{{France}}'': The anime takes place in France, and the second half takes place in Toulouse.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Expect a lot of GratuitousFrench and Italian.
* HumanTraffickers: Pollinel, who Jérôme tries to sell Remi to. Luckily, she's saved by Vitalis.

* FatBitch: Pollinel is a human trafficker and tubby in size.

When the show first aired, fans of the novel were [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks NOT pleased with the changes the show made]], and attacked it en masse. Ratings plummeted drastically, complaints were the order of the day, and the overall reception was so bad that the producers couldn't air the final three episodes and they went straight to DVD instead. It didn't help that even before all of this, the WMT and Fuji TV were waging some kind of war against each other back in the late eighties, and people were beginning to lose interest in stories like this. Thankfully, thanks to some [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff international exposure]] and the internet, [[VindicatedByHistory it has been gotten better reception from more appreciative fans]] who like to see it as its own entity and [[PragmaticAdaptation praise the things it did right instead of nitpick at the fact that it's drastically different from the source material]].

A 1996-1997 anime based on the French novel ''Literature/SansFamille'' by Hector Malot, ''Ie Naki Ko Remi (家なき子レミ)'' (commonly translated as ''Nobody's Girl Remi'', though a fansub group calls it ''Homeless Girl Remy'') is the last anime that the Anime/WorldMasterpieceTheater made before their ten year hiatus. It is the second anime based on Malot's novel, the first one being the 1977 version made by Creator/TMSEntertainment, Creator/{{Madhouse}}, and Creator/OsamuDezaki. Unlike that version, however, this version is a very very loose adaptation, undergoing many changes to both the story, character designs, character genders, and the overall plot as a result of lack of funding and as a desperate measure to save the WMT from going under. It failed miserably.

* AllAbusersAreMale: The anime portrays most male parental figures (such as Jerome and Gaspard) as [[AbusiveParents abusive dads]] motivated by {{Greed}}, while female parental figures (such as Mrs. Mulligan and Anna Barberin) are always kind, caring and ready to adopt children in need. Though Vitalis and Mattia's father defy this, being benevolent fathers to Remi and Mattia respectively.

* CircusBrat: Cosette ([[Anime/LesMiserablesShojoCosette no, not that one]]), who hates working in a circus and is quite rude to Remy.
