More than a little reminiscent of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'', the series in itself had 78 episodes, was produced by TMS, and ran from 1985 to 1986 in Creator/{{NHK}} Channel. It was broadcasted in several countries (almost all of Latin-America, Italy, France, Russia and the French part of Canada, among others), but not in the USA, with only a few fansubbed episodes available in English.

In one episode he asks the Psammead to [[GenderBender turn him into a girl]] so he can chase away a boy who was interested in Anne, and in another he was ''furious'' when the Psammead got to give Anne a kiss.

!!''Onegai Samia-don''' has many tropes, including these:

---

* AdaptedOut: Anthea doesn't appear, though Anne could be said to take up her role.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Being a TV series, some episodes were more centered on one or two kids than the others. i.e., a whole [[MoodWhiplash and surprisingly serious]] one was dedicated to Anne and the Psammead alone, exploring [[MagicMirror the world behind the mirrors]].
* BumblingDad: Anne's father
* {{Butt Monkey}}s: Sil and Jane tended to have their wishes backfire on them ''repeteadly'' (With [[NiceGuy Robert]] often being caught in the middle...)
* CanonForeigner: Anne Hopkins was created specially for the series. Same goes to Harry, Michael, Mr. Matthews, etc.
* CommanderContrarian: Jane was the kid who disagreed the most about the wishes and prospect wishes.
* CoolBigSis: Anne, to the younger Turner children
* CrazyJealousGuy: Sil was this for Anne, and it was mostly PlayedForLaughs.
* {{Expy}}: Anne, of Althea
* FishPeople: One episode had Robert asking the Psammead to transform him into a merman.
* GirlNextDoor: Anne, the siblings's neighbor
* GloryHound: Harry, a local kid who notices the odd antics of the children and tries to find out what's going on so he can reveal the reasons behind it and become famous.
* GrumpyOldMan: The Psammead was more of this than a trickster, with some dashes of DirtyOldMan in between.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Sil was aged up to early-to-mid teens, and showed more than one shade of this. In one episode he asks the Psammead to [[GenderBender turn him into a girl]] so he can chase away a boy who was interested in Anne, and in another he was ''furious'' when the Psammead got to give Anne a kiss.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Sorta. Anne knew very clearly that the Psammead had a soft spot for her, so whenever she wanted something specific from him she'd act cutesy and super sweet to get him to do things the way she wanted.
* LoveTriangle: [[RichsuitorPoorSuitor Simon/Sil and a local rich boy, Michael]], were rivals for [[ObliviousToLove an oblivious]] Anne's affections.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The eldest boy "Sil" is actually named "Simon", but no one refers to him as such.
* ParentsAsPeople: The siblings's parents do care for them, but are very busy with work (Mr. Turner) and housekeeping/taking care of the family's baby (Mrs. Turner).
* PluckyGirl: Jane's stubborn nature made her this when at her best.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Cyril's name is changed to Simon/Sil since "Cyril" is quite antiquated in modern times, the siblings are given a surname ("Turner"), Althea is AdaptedOut and her in-story role is taken up by CanonForeigner Anne Hopkins, and the setting was updated to the England of TheEighties.
* RoseHairedSweetie: At her best, Jane
* SiblingRivalry: Sil and Jane fought quite a bit, and Sil also was kind of a BigBrotherBully to Robert
* SickEpisode: In one episode Grandma Turner is sick, so a worried Jane asks the Psammead to send her to the Blue Coast for the day. Cue to the Psammead and Jane having to stand-in for her so people won't find out she's gone...
* ShipTease: Sil and Anne
* TakenforGranite: Sort-of. The Psammead once mistakenly believes that Anne wants to become a crystal statue... and transforms her into one. The Turners have to work hard to hide Anne-the-statue until the magic wears off.
* TeamMom: As a sort-of expy of Althea, Anne becomes this.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Jane had more than one inkling of this, being small and pudgy but '''very''' stubborn and prone to tantrums whn things didn't go her way... which [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes always sent the Psammead into fits]] since [[KillItWithWater her tears could potentially kill him]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The Psammead had a '''weakness''' for eating car tires.
