Sarutobi Ecchan, also known as Hela Supergirl in Italy, is an early Magical Girl anime about a little girl named Ecchan who has ninja powers.
This anime provides examples of:
- Easy Amnesia: The story starts when Ecchan loses her memories and is taken in by Miko's family.
- Hypno Pendulum: In one episode, Ecchan takes a clock pendulum and swings it back and forth to hypnotize someone.
- Hypnotic Eyes: Ecchan can hypnotize people by having them look into her eyes (among other methods).
- Identical Stranger: In the last episode, we meet Eiko, a young girl from America who looks identical to Ecchan.
- Mind-Control Eyes: People on the receiving end of Ecchan's hypnosis often display swirly eyes.
- Talking Animal: Buku is a talking dog.
