SynopsisSeason Fairies create and control the weather using special musical instruments. They make the wind blow, the snow fall, the sun shine; if it's something weather related, they are the ones who make it happen. Sugar, an apprentice Snow Fairy, and her friends Salt and Pepper, all want to become full-fledged Season Fairies, and the only way to achieve this is to search for and find the "Twinkles" that will make their magical flowers bloom. The only problem is that none of them have any idea what a Twinkle is. They enlist the somewhat unwilling help of Saga, a human girl who can see Season Fairies. Much to her annoyance, Saga's perfectly planned and ordered life has just become a little too lively for her taste. Together, they search for the mysterious Twinkles while trying to perfect their magic. (Source: ANN) |

Like the name of the titular character, this anime is so sweet and cute that you will probably forgive any fault that you see in it.
The best thing in this anime is the characters. The fairies Sugar, Salt and Pepper are so cute, but not in the annoying way. Choro-sama, the elder fairy, will also make you laugh with his silly antics over his obsession with Ginger - a fairy obviously so much younger than him! Basil and Cinammon are also characters who, despite their bratty and rascal ways, will worm their way into your hearts.
And if you watched Card Captor Sakura, you just might be in for a surprise. The artwork is so similar but the Tomoyo-looking character is the frenemy (friend/enemy) of one of the lead characters - Saga (patterned after Sakura). I found this to be very funny - seeing a totally different Tomoyo. My only complaint about the artwork is that the characters probably wore the same outfit all throughout the series, in stark contrast to Card Captor Sakura's numerous costume changes.
The story is simple, but still quite complex. It won't let you look that hard for questions about your life, but it will make you wonder if you found your own Kirameki - whatever that is. read more

I love this anime so much I have the whole series. Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar is just too cute for words. And yet, despite it's adorable factor, I can honestly say this anime made me cry at the end.
Basically, to sum it up, the story is of a young, punctual, planning girl named Saga who, much to her dismay, happens to encounter upon a small fairy known as a "season fairy" (and it's not so long afterward until she meets others). The first little season fairy is named Sugar, and apprentice to become a great snow fairy. Now, you can't say Saga is the most happy to find Sugar. Actually, she's anything but. She doesn't want anything to do with these crazy <i>things</i> she's stumbled on-- they're absolutely ruining her plans!
But soon enough, Sugar beings to live with Saga after the magic seed was planted in Saga's mini toy piano in her room. Now Saga has to deal with Sugar as she tries to find the mysterious "twinkles" to become a full-fledged season fairy! What's a girl to do?
Okay, so maybe the story isn't amazing, but it's wonderfully adorable, and I love the interactions between all the characters. Some parts of the stories have a few flaws, but never enough to distract the viewer.
One thing I adore about Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar is it's beautiful backgrounds. That's the thing, it doesn't take place in Japan; it takes place in Germany, which I find refreshingly different and appealing to watch. The backgrounds are gorgeous watercolors. Also, the character designs are by Koge-Donbo (author of Pita-Ten and Kamichama Karin) which makes the expressions extra adorable, especially with Sugar and the other faires.
The opening song is very catchy and chipper, contrasting with the more sweet and melancholy sounding ending theme. The music in the background is low-key, consisting of mostly piano and string instruments.
Saga and Sugar's personalities clash which makes their interaction all the more interesting. Saga is orderly and mature and Sugar is spontaneous and energetic. I'd have like to see Ann and Norma more developed, as well as other characters, but Greta makes up for that, as she is a nicely developed minor character. Greta constantly wants to be Saga's rival, although as you see as the series progresses, she actually just wants to be friends with Saga (though she'd never admit it).
Not all would enjoy Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar. Many might be put off by the title alone. However, despite the sugar-coated exterior it is actually a sweeter, more-heatfelt anime that will make you relate to its characters and have you enjoy each episode's antics. read more

Both dealing with fairies and the human world both including humans and both very cute animes.i would recommend this because i officially love fairies and both have simillar concepts.
Both very cute anime's and both deal with faeries in a human world coping with each other, learning new things and making new friends. Both fairy's in the separate anime's has a mission/goal to complete.They both use magic and it ends up to be a fun comedy in the end.
