Six years later, a petition/fan website called Candy Candy Reborn created by Vic Isono was published in November 28, 2008, set a goal on Go Petition to collect 1,000 signatures because she needed the voices of overseas fans to impact on the Japanese Government Agency. Unfortunately she got 700 in one and half years and will be closing it down as of March 31, 2011 (though she originally intended to close it on August 31, 2010 due to a kind-heared fan that sent her some translated text).
And if you think Mizuki is the one opposed of re-releasing the Candy Candy Anime, you are sadly mistaken. She had never forbid broadcast of the anime and stated that "she wishes the anime will be re-released, especially for overseas fans. She also stated that "The Anime is TOEI's works. Our consent is indispensable to re-broadcast but we not power to compel TOEI to re-release." TOEI also said the CC brand is mud and it is impossible for them to sell muddy Candy Candy, and they suspended the brand until Igarashi stops her criminal act and apologizes to Mizuki. But, she still refuses to apologize to them, and her partner company sold the anime DVD without TOEI's permission they have since broke their relationships off practically. As for the manga? In 2006 Kodansha said to a japanese journalist that "Igarashi swindled Mizuki. Unless she admitted her sin and apologized to Mizuki, Candy business will not be broken the deadlock." Thus it is too difficult to restore their relations.
Next my response.
