Kashi no Ki Mokku
A wooden puppet brought to life by a mysterious blue fairy, Pinocchio struggles with a laundry list of character flaws—selfishness, lying, rudeness, stubbornness, greed, cowardice, and plenty more. He's gullible and naive, constantly making poor choices, and has to learn to overcome these failings if he ever wants to become human. Because he refuses to learn and keeps disobeying, Pinocchio spends most of the series getting put through the wringer. He's tricked, beaten down, bullied, humiliated, and subjected to all kinds of degrading treatment. The show doesn't shy away from showing just how brutal and dangerous life is for someone who's literally not even human yet—it's a harsh, unforgiving world that demands he grow up fast. This approach fits squarely with traditional Japanese storytelling, where characters learn their moral lessons through suffering and hardship rather than gentle guidance.
