Anime like this makes me think I'm going to have diabetes before I'm 30. Packed to the brim with saccharine sweetness, Bottle Fairy delivers a heaping helping of brain-rotting sugar... which can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of anime you like.
The story is set up quite well in the OP. Four fairy girls come to the human world to learn to become humans. They pin their hopes and dreams on a boy whom they call "Sensei-san". Living with "Sensei-san" and given advice by his neighbor, Tama-chan, the fairies try to learn as much about being human as they can.
It's not the best "let's make funny takes on everday life" story, but it's certainly not the worst. It's mildly humorous and with a 15-minute run time per episode, it's something you can swallow quickly and easily in between series or if you have time to kill. The plot is shapeless and the story is easily forgotten. Keep your expectations low and you should be fine.
This transparent story is told from the perspective of the fairies, each given a generic personality that cater to moe fanatics in particular, but they come off so weak that the cliches that come with them are often just as weak in impact.
Generic animation and music abound. Given how long it is, that's to be expected though. It looked like someone had this idea, wanted to make it a reality, but really didn't want to take it seriously. Thus this is a series I recommend if you watch, that you do not take seriously whatsoever.
If you do that, Bottle Fairy is actually pretty fun. People who don't mind an unhealthy dose of super-deformed adorability will eat this up, but others who prefer more serious anime will probably want to steer clear. Still, if you're in the former category. It's a quick flash of sunshine you can enjoy and subsequently forget. read more

Bottle Fairy is all about going through each day and experiencing things. Four faeries want to become human but in order to do so they first need to understand what it means to be human. And so they take help from their human friend and Sensei to start their training.
This series goes through the Japanese calender and bring up traditions and folklore. It is very funny most of the time as the different personalities of the faeries and the way they interpret situations vary a great deal. This, combined with the fact that the episodes are in a short format, about 11 minutes when neglecting opening and ending animation, make this series really worthwhile when you have a short opening in the schedule and want to have a good laugh at the same time. And ofcourse the faeries are so cute that you wish them luck all the way to "adulthood". read more

Both series have a similar sense of humor. Both also make many references to different aspects of Japanese culture through the different seasons.
Both have four lead female characters following their daily life with comedy, except that Bottle Fairy focus mostly in girls imagination. Even thought Bottle Fairy can be more akward.
Cute charas talking about Japan's culture & common sense.

Both anime have fairy...things in them, and they are both really cute!
shugo chara is a great show! it is about a girl named amu and she has 3 kinds of eggs.when the egg hatches a little thing like a fairy comes out. when amu believes in herself she transforms. like she has the power to fly. this is a very good anime i hope you watch it!
