What happens

Tonde Burin (とんでぶーりん, Tonde Būrin) is a Japanese magical girl manga series written and illustrated by Taeko Ikeda. It was originally serialized in Shogakukan's shōjo magazine Ciao from October 1994 to September 1995, collecting into 3 tankōbon volumes. An anime series based on the manga titled Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl Tonde Buurin (愛と勇気のピッグガール とんでぶーりん) was produced by Nippon Animation and was broadcast on MBS, TBS and their affiliates in Japan from September 3, 1994, a month prior to the manga adaptation's serialization to August 26, 1995. An English language-version titled Super Pig was produced by Saban Entertainment in 1997. This dub aired in New Zealand on TV2. From 1998 to 1999 the Saban dub aired in the Netherlands on Fox Kids with Dutch subtitles. Another English dub aired only in the Philippines under the title Super Boink; this dub kept all the original music. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
