o.K., 1980s AB fans & experts, here is the episode that gave us the school election (remember THAT thread):

tells his class that it will produce a school play about SNOW WHITE, & that they will ELECT a girl to play the title role.

Melmo is among the hopefuls--

so is the rich spoiled girl, Nitako.

Terrible, but funny.

"Oh, what a wonderful SNOW WHITE I will be."

After the two candidates are nominated, this boy will have a certain role--

Now the bribery begins:

"Vote for me & I'll give you these toys!"

"Too good to accept my bri-- GIFT, huh?"

"Its a tie."

Here comes the tie-breaker.

Nitako cries to her mama, who goes to complain.

"Harrumph, my $$ is not good enough for you- you insult me."

So, Melmo having won the title role, prepares for her big day. Finally, the play:

Nitako has told her mama that Melmo has no mother, & they expect to shame her--

"Hello, I am Melmo's mother--"

I have Wav recordings of this famous MIRROR, MIRROR speech (or question), but can only upload images. Anybody care to host the WAV?

Oops, the mirror's voice forgot to go offstage.

Does one whack qualify as an anime spanking?

A rather elaborate set for a class play. :lol:

"Away with her!"

"Stick to the script!"

No school play is complete without an appearance from THE MAN WITH NO NAME.

"Who changed the title?"

Somebody please read this.

After Nitako had taken enough aging candies to turn into an Obasan, pure-hearted Melmo goes to restore her, despite her wrecking the play.

Hooray, SNOW WHITE & the queen made-up. :heart:

The voting part reminds me a lot of the 80s Astro Boy when the voted for class president

In fact I think that's the same complaining mother
