Super Doll★Licca-chan

Super Doll Licca-chan reimagines the Licca universe as a self contained anime adventure centered on elementary schooler Licca Kayama. Everyday life collides with hints about her past and a guardian in the form of Doll Licca who steps in to protect her. The tone blends comedy with light action and family moments as Licca balances school, friends, and the mysterious origins surrounding her origins. Voiced by Tomo Sakurai as Doll Licca and Michiko Neya as Doll Izumi, the cast brings to life a playful, toy inspired world where identity and guardianship feel personal rather than grand.

The series aired on TV Tokyo from 1998 to 1999. It is an original spin off tied to the popular Licca-chan doll line created by Miyako Maki; Kodansha later serialized a Nakayoshi manga adaptation inspired by the show.

Conceptually the series was meant to broaden the Licca-chan brand beyond fashion dolls into a cross media experience. The accompanying action figures represented a modest expansion, and they did not stay in production long, signaling a cautious reception for toy line expansions tied to anime.

Fans remember the show as a friendly blend of everyday life with fantastical elements. The core themes orbit identity, origin, and protection, offering a gentle reflection on how people define family and who acts as guardian when the world suddenly turns strange. The animation and voice work help sell a brisk, toy inspired energy that makes the premise feel approachable for a family audience.

There are no major awards documented for Super Doll Licca-chan. The title is more often noted for its contribution to the Licca-chan multimedia strategy than for accolades, appealing to collectors and fans of vintage anime who remember the 1990s crossovers between toys and television.
