Noozles (ふしぎなコアラ ブリンキー, Fushigina Koara Burinkī), also known as The Wondrous Koala Blinky, is a 26-episode anime by Nippon Animation Company that was originally released in Japan in 1984.[1] It depicts the adventures of a 12-year-old girl named Sandy and her koala friends, Blinky and Pinky, who are from the extra-dimensional realm of Koalawalla Land.[2]
Noozles aired in Japan on Fuji TV in Tokyo and affiliated stations in its original run from July to December 1984. An edited, dubbed version later aired in the United States on Nick Jr. from November 1988 to April 1993.[citation needed] The show usually aired at 1 P.M. on the weekdays, immediately following another koala-themed anime, Adventures of the Little Koala, and in the UK on BBC, later on The Children's Channel.
The series has also been dubbed into French (under the title Les Koalous), Korean, Spanish (under the title Sandy y sus koalas), Arabic and German.
The series features episode direction by Noboru Ishiguro, best known for his work on the sci-fi anime series Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) and the original Macross series (which became part of Robotech in North America) and layout work by Yasuji Mori. Mori also worked on the series' original character designs with Shuichi Seki, but the final designs were done by Isamu Kumata.
