Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Silverland, a princess named Sapphire was born. Thanks to the prank of a mischievous little angel, Sapphire ended up with both the blue heart of a boy and the pink heart of a girl. Thus, the new little princess would be as rambunctious and brave as she was gentle and caring.
However, all was not well in Silverland. By law, only a son could inherit the throne. So, to stop the evil Duke Duralumon from being next in line to rule the kingdom, the King announced to his subjects that Sapphire was a boy!
Now, several years later, everyone in the kingdom sees Sapphire as a swashbuckling prince. Very few people know her secret. But the Duke still lurks in the shadows, waiting for a chance to make his move... So begins the story of Sapphire - the courageous Princess Knight -- as she fends off the Duke's wicked schemes and fights for justice and the happiness of her people!
Princess Knight, also known as Choppy and the Princess, the 52-episode anime is based upon the best-selling comic by legendary manga creator Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion) and features animation from Tezuka’s own Mushi Productions.
It originally aired on Japanese television from 1967 through 1968, and its English-language adaptation was syndicated throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.
In both anime and manga forms, Princess Knight was among the first titles geared specifically toward a shoujo audience. The original comic was serialized in Kodansha’s Shoujo Club anthology magazine, from 1953 through 1956, and its sequel series, Twin Knight, was serialized in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi anthology in 1958. - บันเทิง

"I like these clothes better than the fancy ones." She says as she lifts the outfit's fabulous red cape.
Me too
with a GOLD belt XD
She takes fashion advice from Jaraxle Baenre.
She don't like girly clothes. Tomboy princess>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Girly princess
Can we agree that this is just too adorable?
I remember watching this masterpiece when I was a kid. A very unique series, with a strong, beautiful, brave, swordswoman as a protagonist.
She's a child not a woman.
@@Zinwaq...
@@Zinwaqtechnically she's a woman..
in the original manga, Sapphire was still a human being with the hearts of a boy and girl, but Tezuka took some creative opportunities with the concept. when Sapphire losses her girl heart, she would become a man. when she losses her boy heart, she become a woman. not physical transformation but more personality wise. she could even talk like a man apparently.
Ooh, that's cool. Also--even though it's not a physical transformation? Ranma 1/2, eat your heart out! ;)
I'm also reminded a bit of Princess Ozma of Oz, who was turned into and raised as a boy to hide her until the kingdom became safer. Yep. Transgender queen in a book from over a hundred years ago! Well, kinda. :)
So apparently pretending talk like a man? Not sure. Charming independence tomboy. Still girl.
It's interesting how tezuka was both ahead of his time and dated at the same, the person who made a non-binery character in 1953, aslo adopted blackface designs from western cartoons, and while pretty apolitical he's aslo made proto "yiff" before modern furry culture was even a thing.
So they are gender fluid? Surprised they could get away with that in the 60's. It's even controversial today.
I don't know if Tezuka-sensei was progressive enough to realize he was doing it, but he basically created the first trans/nonbinary character in manga and anime. And I think handled it about as well as anyone writing in Japan in the 50's could handle the subject. There's a lot of American writers today that can't do trans characters as well thought-out as Sapphire!
I am disappointed that they took out the part where Choppy was in heaven giving the princess the wrong heart. That is why he is on Earth looking for the princess, to get back that heart. That was my favorite part.
Jill W. Were is that part available to watch? I cant find it
It's in a later episode as a flashback
Princess Sapphire resembles a combination of Snow White and Prince Ferdinand, but her hair resembles Betty Boop. Choppy looks like Toon Link from The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker.
Mackenzie Wachter she looks like Astro boy with lashes 😂
PRINCESSE KNIGHT MY LOOOOOOOOOOVE
What
MIA I thought she looked like what we got if astro boy & Betty boop had a baby together 😁
@@MissVintage789 Well, Astroboy HAS lashes.
Osamu Tezuka the godfather of great manga and stories
Easily one of the strongest female leads I've seen in a while.
I remember this, I was ten when it showed up on our tv channel when there was only 6 or 7 channels at that time. "Of course back then we had to get up to change the channel then adjust the rabbit ears! "WHAT DAYS"
Although she looks more like a musketeer than a knight, she's still awesome at what she does.
Sure, the dubbing's a bit weird but I think I will enjoy this show
That voice acting is simply AMAZING.
Yeah, I'm not normally a "no dubs" kind of person, but this one in particular is very...shall we say, of its era. I couldn't make it four minutes.
@@TackyRackyComixNEO why dub is superior
This is one of the anime I watched as a kid. The stories and character designs were ok, but the backgrounds and environments were phenomenal!
Always suspected horses could run up castle walls.
+solarsource7 *cough* Skyrim Horses.
I would love for Princess Knight to get a 2023 reboot.
When I was about 6 years old I thought Princess Knight was the bee's knees. I had Princess Knight stickers all over my stuff and never missed an episode. Her look is so iconic.
How would anyone think she was a boy when she's giggling and sounds like a cross between Dorothy Gale and Mini Mouse? Nothing about her screams that she was raised as a boy. she even crosses her legs when she sits.
Ye, I can't stand dub, you know where to find sub
*LighteningXT9* I can definetly agree with the voice, the giggling and hardly any trace of male on her. But i'ma boy and i cross my legs. Probably a habit from trying out that lotus stance.
@Kit Duguay I mean, she WAS given a boys heart and a girl's heart
@@teyik448 prob an enby
@@ShamelessLainLover A genderfluid enby probably
And this is coming from an enby too
Why is it that in every anime where a girl pretends to be a boy, she still looks like a girl but nobody in the story is able to tell?
And the king thought it would be easier to pull this off on his subjects, than simply decree that his daughter will succeed him? Kings can do that, you know.
Ah, well. If he had thought of that, then there wouldn't be a show.
Why doesn't anybody recognize Clark Kent as Superman?
And besides, the succeeding king, Plastic, revises the law to let the country allow Sapphire to take over the throne.
Well, apparently (16:44) the top half of a wolf in a cloak is a perfect match for "old lady".
So yeah... this universe is a bit fuzzy on gender identifiers.
also wouldn't it come out anyway that she's a girl once she has children? like who's gonna produce the heir?
Sapphire changes the laws when she takes the throne! As someone who lives in a monarchy, it’s not so easy, by the way! Monarchs fear the influential families who helped put them into power, if he makes a law they disapprove of (and he is clearly surrounded by people who covet his crown and clearly doubt Sapphire’s gender), they could try to overthrow him with their own armies!
Kings who go ahead and pass laws their most influential noblemen would oppose are usually tyrants who rule through fear of death, so they won’t dare oppose him. Sapphire’s father seems both too gentle and too cautious to do that, so he tries to play by the rules of seemingly keeping popular/entrenched laws while trying to keep the crown safe from Nylon and his ilk.
Thank you so much, I love Osamu Tezuka’s works (especially Black Jack, Dororo, and Angel’s Hill) and I have always wanted to read (if I can someday buy Vertical’s volumes...!) or watch Princess Knight, but it was always region-blocked.
Her voice is so sweet!! The animated whimsy and visual humour, the Mickey Mousing in the opening, it’s all so charmingly Tezuka.
I was shocked by Choppy (Tink) having such a deep voice, but orherwise... this is all charming and sweet!! Even the cartoony voice acting is kind of familiar and funny, reminds me of watching 60’s Kimba.
Thank you.
I saw this in Spanish
and I've been looking for it everywhere I didn't know what it was called
Finnaly found it
Though not as good as Astro Boy, Princess Knight is definitely one of the greatest Anime series of all time
IF YOU'RE A REALLY A GIRL, YOU'LL TURN PURPLE.
Her: *Blinks*
For some reason, every anime before the 1980s is wild and unpredictable like this.
This is a good show to watch but
Who agrees that the princess voice is a little annoying
I constantly think of Usagi Tsukino in the voice. Like if she was 5.
Not near as annoying as Choppy’s voice
What about tinks? God... I hate it
@@darklightcircus____3601 Choppy IS Tink in English Ver.
Chloe Esparza not to be rude, but I kinda like the voice.
Wow nice to see such a classic on TH-cam!! Remember seeing this years ago.
Thanks nozomient!!
Very pleased to find this after looking for it for over 30 years, since I first watched it on The Children's Channel (UK) in the 1980s. It's more "slapstick" and played for laughs than I remember, though the Queen's sorrow over her daughter's predicament is perhaps more poignant for this.
Anyone else notice the music was credit to Isao Tomita, who later achieved fame in the 70s for his synth arrangements of classical pieces ("Snowflakes Are Dancing")?
Princess knight: how did you know?
Choppy: princess you have the voice of princess peach.
Thanks for upload this episodes,I watch this series when I was younger
It not sailor moon the first magical girl, nor sakura cardcaptor and neither was cutie honey. This was the first magical girl anime, created by the legendary osamu tezuka.
IM SONIC SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Very legendary I see. More legendary than any other.
she isnt a magical girl, and predates the genera
@@maryloumartone1994 what those sonic have to do with this?
What about Sally the witch?
Remembering my childhood...this show used to air in the early 90s
I think as far back as the early 70's I remember it
60s I’m sure
Thanks for uploading this! Someone gave me the first manga of this series at a convention and I wasn't sure what the heck it was. XD
Wonderful to find this. I vaguely remember watching this from my childhood in the early 70. I'm sure the ending theme was slightly different, though.
I heared this was one of the first animes. So I came here to watch it.
+Otaku 4 Lyfe
I watched it as a 5yo in the 60's and she was my first (confused) crush.
Jennifer I thought it was Pokémon :o
She is against tax for luxury, I wonder how many of us was aware of such thing back then, but now as an adult we truly see the great justice she have done.
Bravo!
10/10 So much substance in one episode!
Great tension and storytelling
I agree!
Sir Nylon has the best voice ever in this adaptation! Whenever I read the manga I always try to read his dialogue in this voice. :-D
TheMindMaster6 I honestly find his weird Edward G Robinson voice waaaay too distracting
projectshadow99 That's supposed to be a W.C. Fields impersonation.
Damn, I loved this when I was a kid. It was so different to anything else I had ever seen. Awesome. Although I believe it was renamed as Choppy and the Princess for the UK.
I remember watching a couple of episodes of "Choppy and the Princess" on The Children's Channel in the UK, in the 1980s. It really stuck in my mind all these years, but until very recently, I wondered if my memory was playing tricks on me 😅
Found it! I used to watch this when i was a toddler in the latest 70s and in black & white tv back then 😊💗
OMGosh!! I watched this everyday after school when I was a little girl.
14:45
WHAT THE FUDGE MONKEYS IS THAT?!?!?
THE OFFSPRING OF HAMEGG, PROFESSOR OCHANOMIZU, AND DR. FOOLA?!?!?😂😂😂😂😂
I had know idea is was one of the very early anime in the decade! Thanks for upload!
I loved this as a child, this was my gateway into anime and manga. This and Astro Boy.
I grew up this anime when I was a kid in Spanish Dub I was a fan of Osamu Tezuka's titles. Like Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion and Princess Knight. I love the animation style and the artwork and characters design.
3:16 Hilarious Horse Refused Going Moments
What incredible childhood memories. Thanks to the creator
I remember watching this when I was eight and being absolutely in love. It is only now that I found it was a anime and a manga, and the first shoujo manga, the one that started it. I never watched anyother anime, didn’t even know one. Funny
I being looking for this for years, I see it when I was a little girl!
So cute! Sapphire looks cool and fabulous in that costume😎
I have no idea how I read the manga as a kid, but I just found it again the other day! this is a memory I 100% forgot until I, by chance, saw in "similar images" looking for I dont remember what, im amazed honestly ; - ;
Like in Hoodwinked, Red Riding Hood maybe lovable and pretty in the outside, but in the inside she’s a fighter
That theme song is groovy.
The drawings of the (fairy tale style) Castles, buildings and trees in the wood are Amazing. And the music Is written by the great Isao Tomita...
Finally i found the anime i'm looking for one of my favourite anime on spacetoon during 2009
I'm watching this on Netflix right now and am loving every second of it.
Its not on Netflix
@@Lps6teen2011 lol i was like wtf
1970 in Australia
Omg.it has taken almost 28 years for me to find this cartoon.thankyou youtube.btw we had cassettes thts y it was impossible to find this cartoon as i didn't knw the cartoons name
But i figured it might be this old
Very cool. Thanks nozoi!!
I really want to watch all of those episodes in English. Those are pretty funny and amazing.
When I was a small boy in the 60s, it was my favorite.
i never seen this show but i hope you get more shows like this!
I love watching this wayback 70s
I have the book and it's asome highly recommend!! There's to books in total
My 1st movie I watched at the cinema in 1980's 💖
It's like if Disney made an anime
It's like the cast of Rocky & Bullwinkle voiced an anime.
And Osamu Tenzuka in turn inspired The Lion King with Kimba the White Lion.
Oldschool Disney, no less. Reminds me a lot of their '50s stuff, maybe even a touch '40s. Not that that's a bad thing! :)
excellent! watched it every day as a young boy, I was fascinated with her...I think I still am!!! LOL
Why cant they make a movie about this?
Hollywood is always stealing ideas from other countries and re-packaging them with different characters rather than honoring the original ones... Guillermo del Toro stole the idea of Mazinger to create Pacific Rim...
Lol...so how did she get her cape back after she threw it at the masked guy on his horse?
Man, I remember Sapphire as my childhood anime crush. Even though I'm so confused with her gender, I don't want her to end up with Franz.
I finally found the English dub version. Watched it in French years ago, can't find any episodes of the series but find this o.o I miss this
It's on FUNimation Now
Thanks, I've never seen this before, although I kind of familiar with this work by Tezuka from the manga.
This show gets my Heavy Metal Seal of Approval!!!
*Raises Devil Horns*
An interesting classic and concept.
I love the opening theme.
From Isao Tomita, who spent the 70s and 80s adapting classical music for his own synthesizer orchestra, with mixed results but great success.
HAHAHAAH XD this is so funny and adorable I love this!
Wheres the next episode? Please i want to see more of this anime
So interesting that all the scenes which a character slaps or knocks another are excluded.
Best Japanese animation 1960’s era and animator made American-cartoonish and Japanese art style influences
does anyone know were to find the rest of the anime or the manga?
good show
Sapphire and Choppy sounds like Mickey and Minnie mouse
I can relate to the princess. I don’t like dresses either 🙃
Wow that's amazing
This is my first anime i watch
I am reading the manga and it is nothing like this.......
My dad said he used to watch this
it was actually released in the states and in australia as Choppy and the Princess.
@@Twobaglife Princess Knight when i saw it in South Australia.
And to think this was made by the creator of "Astroboy" and "Black Jack"
If Alita got a live-action movie, this should get one, too.
memories!!! I'm looking for Choppy and the Princess Sea Kingdom. I had the VHS growing up. Anyone know where I can find it online?
The ending music was different to what I watched here in Australia in the 60's.
From memory it was kids singing.
This seriously needs a remake.
where to find subbed version
"I wanna find out if you're a boy, hold still while I ..guhh! *shoots liquid from sword*"
this is the most current year 80's animation ever
13:23,this should be a meme. XD
ITS ADORABLE!!!
Awesome 🌟.
Anyone know where I can read the manga online for free?
hey did you crop this or is it from the video/ dvd? I want to buy but if its cropped then i might reconsider.
I used to love this where are the bloody rest of the episodes in English dub ?
There's a world somewhere that Sapphire and Nella are friends and teammates. The first Princess Knight and the latest Princess Knight. Add Pearl and you have the Princess Musketeers.
Well ok Nice anime och Osamu Tezuka
Är bra
My favorite film🇲🇨♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
so much nostalgia
