A series I'm kindof fascinated with but is actually kinda hard to track down
Comet-san (Miss Comet) was originally a comic by Mitsuteru Yokoyama (of Sally the Witch and Testujin-28 fame) in 1967
that same year it was adapted into a 79 episode Sit-com of the same name.
(this is the 2nd version of the intro that was made to make use of color) The series was broadcast in Mexico and other spanish speaking countries as "Senorita Cometa"
in 1978 it was remade into another live-action sitcom (also called "Comet-san") and ran for 68 episodes.
Then there's the most famous Comet-san to date (mostly because its easier to track down and prove existed but that's besides the point) as Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san in 2001
Unlike her more Mischievous incarnations, Comet is a good-natured princess trying to find a missing prince on Earth. Complete with a pink outfit, magical girl rival Meteorite, and a mascot animal.
Personally, I'm really interested in the 70s version, she's got that early Majokko charm. I wonder if there'll ever be another Comet-san reboot in the future

I'm currently seven episodes into the 2001 anime and It's a nice, cute series. Not too remarkable, but it's definitely the type of magical girl show I go for.
Green haired ojou-sama is definitely my favorite character though. She's a loud, obnoxious snob, but her antics are the most entertaining thing by a long-shot.
For those who haven't seen the show, this character is essentially the dark magical girl/rival of the show. She tends to follow Comet from a distance, letting Comet do the hard work for her. She tries repeatedly to antagonize Comet in various amusing ways, but somehow her actions always end up helping her instead.
All in all there isn't a single character I find annoying or unlikable, which is create cause a handful of characters are under ten years old.
So it seems someone is subbing this one now. The first episode was put up on Nyaa by someone called Erasuterism. Although the sub group attached to the file name is labeled [Baton].
And now I play the waiting game. The subs that had been done all those years ago were up to episode 22, and this person is looking for someone to sub the second half.
Hope for the future I guess.
