Dog of Flanders (フランダースの犬 Furandāsu no Inu) is a 1975 Japanese animated television series adaptation of Marie Louise de la Ramée's novel of the same name, produced by Nippon Animation.
Production
The animators conducted extensive research on 19th century Flanders. The buildings depicted in the series were modeled after the Bokrijk open-air museum. Although there have been some changes from the original story by Marie Louise de la Ramée, it has been faithful in keeping the storyline accurate.
Broadcast
Dog of Flanders aired on Fuji TV between January 5, 1975 and December 28, 1975. It was repeated daily in early mornings in 2012.
