History Anime / MiracleShojoLimitChan

* NerdGlasses: Nobuko
* NiceHat: Limit's does double duty as a walkie-talkie.

This show is noteworthy also for being the first production on which Toei outsourced some of the animation work to a Korean studio.

* NamesToKnowInAnime: The character designs and animation direction in some episodes were done by the late Kazuo Komatsubara, who had already worked with Creator/GoNagai and would later work with Creator/LeijiMatsumoto and Creator/HayaoMiyazaki.

''Miracle Shojo Limit-chan'' is an early MagicalGirl anime, also known as ''Cybernella'' in Italy. It aired from October 1973 to March 1974 on NET (now TV Asahi).

When 11-year-old Satomi Nishiyama (nicknamed Limit) is critically injured in an airplane crash, her scientist father saves her life by turning her into a cyborg. Now she has a number of superpowers at her disposal, but she must also keep her robotic nature a secret from her peers.

Limit-chan was created by Creator/ToeiAnimation from an original idea by Hiromi Productions. She got the time slot on NET that had been reserved for MagicalGirl series since ''Manga/SallyTheWitch'' (but had been temporarily lost to ''Manga/BabelII''), while another Magical Girl cyborg - the same animation studio/broadcaster's ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' - was retooled as a more action-oriented series and got a different time slot. It was Honey, however, who proved more popular while Limit fell into obscurity. Toei re-teamed with Hiromi Productions afterward for ''Anime/MajokkoMegChan''.

* ReplacementGoldfish: Averted - the only way to keep Limit alive after the plane crash that nearly took her life was to make her a cyborg. Limit is well aware that she is a cyborg and it is a major source of insecurity for her.

* GratuitousEnglish: "Miracle Power!" "Change Face!" "Change Back!" Just to name a few of Limit's magical catch phrases.

* MissingMom: Limit's mother is killed in the same plane crash that necessitated Limit's cyborg-ification.

* CallingYourAttacks: Although they're actions rather than attacks. For example, Limit cries "Miracle Jump" when she does a superhuman jump, "Miracle Run" when she uses her super-speed, and "Miracle Power" when she uses her super-strength.

* GratuitousEnglish: "Miracle Power!" "Change Face!" "Change Back!"

* DevelopmentGag: Satomi's nickname of 'Limit' comes from [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the series' original proposal]], in which she was given a time limit of one year to live after her accident. Toei thought it was too grim, so changed it to a SliceOfLife MagicalGirl story.

After Limit-chan's early cancellation, Hiromi Productions contracted Toei to create a new magical girl show following the traditional tropes of Sally but with some of the naughtiness of Honey, and the result was {{Majokko Meg-chan}}, which would become a bigger international hit than Limit or Honey.

* TogetherUmbrella: Limit and Nobuko share an umbrella in episode 18, though in this case it doesn't seem to have any romantic implications.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Limit-chan was overshadowed by fellow Creator/ToeiAnimation cyborg CuteyHoney during her broadcast run, and her show was canceled after only 25 episodes. But in Italy, where she and her show were renamed "Cybernella", she became very popular and is fondly remembered.

* ActionGirl: Actually gets averted most of the time. Limit will usually find a non-violent solution to whatever problem is confronting her and very rarely ends up in a fight.

* AlphaBitch: Mitsuko, although her GirlPosse is unusual in that they all suffer from some serious {{Gonk}}.
