Chicchana Yukitsukai Sugar

Have you ever wondered why the snow falls, the wind blows, and the clouds fill the sky? A Little Snow Fairy Sugar shows us that everything is controlled by musical little fairies! Weather has never been so adorable!

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar revolves around an eleven year old girl Saga and the little fairy apprentice Sugar that only she can see. Sugar has been sent to earth to complete her training and become a full fledged snow fairy. But to do this she must find something called a "Twinkle" which will make her magic flower bloom and signify she is a ... fully fledged fairy. Saga is a serious girl who plans out everything meticulously and lives a very ordered life. When Sugar comes into her life she turns it all completely upside-down.

The story mostly has a slice of life feel to its pacing. The episodes deal with everyday issues and are mostly lighthearted and funny. At times though some of the messages portrayed can be pretty powerful and deep. Sugar and her other fairy friends who show up are all mostly extremely naive as to the way the human world works, which makes for the source of most of the shows humor. Even though everything in the storyline plays out predictably, it was still an enjoyable experience.

Any series in which the plot is mainly slice of life requires great characters to be successful and that’s certainly the case with this anime. The cast gets quite large; however the series does a nice job in sticking with the characters that are the most important. At the top of this is of course Saga and Sugar. When the story begins they are basically complete opposites. Saga is serious and mature while Sugar is reckless and naive. It’s impossible not to fall instantly in love with either of them. Their relationship is rocky at times do to their personality differences but they both learn from each other and become more complete because of it.

The supporting cast is one of the best I have seen in a series before. Particularly notable is Sugar's fellow fairy apprentices Salt and Pepper. Pepper in particular was so adorable that I wanted to reach into my television and pull her out and cuddle with her. Viewers will probably also enjoy the antics of Saga's classmate Greta, who is herself proclaimed rival.

Artistically the series is quite good. The character designs for Sugar and her friends are really adorable. The settings feel very early 19th century Bavaria. The fashions the characters wear don't really support that and it just seems like a place lost in time.

The music is very important to the story and is performed beautifully. Since all the fairy's weather magic is performed using an instrument, there is a wide variety of sounds. The classical music score meshes perfectly with the stories laid back approach. Additionally the series' OP and ED themes match the shows cuteness to a tee. I also enjoyed the seiyuu performances and it was nice to hear the voices of some actors you don’t normally hear in the roles of main characters. Unfortunately I also heard some of the English dub too, which is typically bad and I recommend you stay clear of it.

I really enjoyed my experience with A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. It's a bit of a unique take on the fairy genre and I recommend it to everyone who enjoys slice of life. Be careful to brush your teeth afterwards though as the cuteness and sugary sweetness will likely rot your teeth out.

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.

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.

Atmosphere is one of the most important components when crafting a good show. If a show has weak or inappropriate atmosphere, it can potentially tarnish any chance of having emotional resonance with the audience, even if the script and acting are great. There are some anime fans that have a hard time enjoying a lot of horror anime for this very reason, because some of the scenes that were meant to be scary can come off as comedic instead if done poorly.

Then you have those rare shows which have a certain aura to them. Maybe the characters are a bit corny and the plot isn’t ... very engaging, but despite that, they still manage to pull some emotion out of you.

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar is exactly that type of show. What it lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for it with sincerity.

The first thing that immediately struck me about Snow Fairy was its soundtrack. It’s easily the highlight of the entire show and largely consists of lovely and nostalgic-sounding piano pieces which play throughout the episodes. Sometimes the show will just sort of stop for a moment and let a character play an instrument for a bit. It can be quite bizarre and jarring at times, but endlessly charming nonetheless.

And that’s really how I would best describe the show as a whole. It’s very charming and endearing. With character designs from Koge-Donbo of Di Gi Charat fame, it is unmistakably “of its time” in the best ways possible. The legendary Shichirou Kobayashi is also on the team and he does a fantastic job bringing this world to life with his beautiful backgrounds. Overall, the show is a treat to look at and listen to.

However, while the artwork and music are both incredible, the characters and writing can leave a lot to be desired. The plot itself is rather unremarkable and the dynamics are all over the place. Saga and Sugar's friendship do have their wholesome and heartwarming moments together, but a decent chunk of the series is spent with Sugar getting in the way of Saga's everyday life and they end up fighting quite a bit which can take away some of the emotional weight those wholesome scenes could've had because the character progression is very inconsistent. If you’re the type of viewer who prefers getting super critical with what they watch, then maybe stay away, because Snow Fairy doesn’t exactly try too hard to be too deep with its themes and you'll probably end up getting bored and thinking it's stupid.

But at the end of the day, Snow Fairy exemplifies a lot of the qualities I love about this time period in anime history. A lot of the industry started converting over to computers and it gave more people the chance to create niche anime that may not have been approved or fully realized before. And while a lot of series from this era can often be rather weird or clumsy, you can often feel that raw passion shine through. Snow Fairy may be far from perfect, but I also don't think I'd want it any other way.

I can not express words how good this anime was. In fact, the anime itself delivers message that is unique for each viewer. Do not let its prominent shroud of childish folly trick you into thinking it is another anime for children for it is entirely in reverse. However, the kiddies are still more than welcome to watch it with you as this anime rarely has any adult contemporary in it.

What holds this anime up to very high standards is that, not only did it deliver a very overwhelmingly-good storyline, but all of this was entirely original and not based off a manga which destroys ... any complaints against whether or not it "stayed true" to such a thing as it is non-existent here for this original anime possesses a very strong and innovative story.

If the characters are too cheesy for you to tolerate, then perhaps the beautiful piano symphony will make up for that. With the budget that they had for it, the music comes off as no surprise that it is excellently composed and each song in the anime conveys a different style where nothing falls under repetition; a quality that is very rare to find in an OST of an anime.

The production value of this anime is so high that it feels like you are watching something in the late-thousands despite it existing around the early-thousands. The animation, voice acting and music all feel like they are half-a-decade or more ahead of their time. So if one of your peeves with thousands anime is its quality not being too good, think again with this one.

What you get here is a story that is unforgettable, WILL make you tear up towards the end and will all be done in resplendent classical piano throughout the whole ordeal. Well normally it would come off as tedious if all you hear is piano, the songs you will listen to are all unique. If you need something different from your usual fare, A Little Snow Fairy Sugar has it.

There's something very different about anime made in the 2000s. They have a slow, easy going and reminiscent feeling to it. And nearly 20 years ago, in the breezy fall of 2001, J.C. Staff graced us with one of the cutest and heart-warming anime ever created: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. A truly precious hidden gem of the distant past.

Set in the peaceful and antique fictional town of Muhlenberg - Germany, A Little Snow Fairy Sugars tells the tale about the everyday life of Little Sugar and Saga. A bitttersweet and heart-wrenching story full of laughters and tears.

How can anyone be as adorable as ... our lovely Sugar-chan? She's an apprentice snow fairy that only Saga can see. To become a talented fairy like her mother, Sugar and her friends must go on an important training. To find the "twinkle" and let the magical flowers bloom. That sets the tone for the lovely slice of life adventure of Sugar and Saga. Watching them reminds me of the good times that I never had.

The pacing of the show is very appropriate. It's slow enough for us to learn about the characters better while also provided interesting story in each and every episodes to steadily progress the plot. By the half-way of the show, you can clearly see the development of Sugar and Saga and that's a rare thing to see even by today standards. Seem like the art of storytelling is lost overtime.

The main appeal of the anime must be Little Sugar and her lovely friends, Salt and Pepper. Let me tell you this, Sugar is the type of character that you'll fall in love at the first sight of her. She's naive, adorable, kinda annoying yet so caring. She made my list of top 10 character right when I see her. That says a lot since that list hasn't changed for hundreds of anime now.

And Saga, she's the one who brings the depth and drama to the show. Lost her mother who's a great pianist at a very young age, the tragic has a bad effect on her mental health. a purposeful and kind girl to everyone around. But when ever something reminds her of her mother in a bad way, she will get depressed quickly. Luckily, God gave her Sugar to befriend with. And in a way, Sugar is fortunate to meet her. There they formed an everlasting friendship.

I must give my praising to Tsuruoka Youta, the sound director of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, famous with works in Elf- A tale of Memories; Clannad; Hibike: Euphonium, Fulmetal Panic! and so much more... I cant even imaginine this show without his magical hand in choosing music and voice actors. The op: "Sugar Baby Love" is one of my most favorite anime song, the osts are amazing and bring deep emotions in every scenes. Even though, they're kinda repetitive. I reckon he did an almost perfect job in this anime. Set in the town with European's design, every backgrounds are beautifully drawn, really created the feeling of the town.

Overall, I know my silly, homely and unrefined words can't do the show justice. But I really love A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. I wanna spread the love cause it needs more. If somehow and in some magical way I can persuade you to watch this show, I'll be very happy.

PROS:
Intriguing setting
likable characters
Adults can enjoy just as much as children

Cons:
Greta, Basil , and Cinnamon
Cutesy dialog may annoy some people

STORY:
... I thought the idea of fairys controlling the weather was a unique idea. Although having a human living with a nonhuman has been done before, it still felt refreshing. One of the things I respect about this anime the most is that it never feels dumbed down

ART:
The animation is very beautiful and inviting .The environments remind me of Miyazaki's movies.

SOUND:
The english dub is superb, Michelle Ruff is a perfect fit for Saga, the same goes for Rebecca Forstadt as Sugar. They both did an amazing job bringing their characters to life.

CHARACTERS:
Accept for a select few all of the characters are likable. I would have liked to see Greta, Basil, and Cinnamon have more depth and significance to the plot.
I felt they had no real reason to be there.

Overall:
This anime is very cute, but not in an overwhelming way. It's something people of all ages can get into.

The story is based around 11-year-old Saga Bergmann, a young girl in a small German town who lives with her grandmother Regina and works in a coffee shop when not in school. Saga is extremely structured and plans her life down to the minute. One day, she notices a tiny creature in a fluffy outfit that appears to be starving. She offers it a waffle, which helps revive the tiny creature. Saga learns that this tiny creature is Sugar, an apprentice season fairy. Sugar explains that season fairies alter the weather by playing a magical musical instrument, and her specialty is snow, which she creates ... by playing the piccolo. Sugar is joined by two more apprentice season fairies, Salt, an outgoing male fairy who plays the trumpet to make the sun shine more brightly, and Pepper, a quiet and caring female fairy who plays the harp to make the wind blow.

All three apprentices are shocked at the realization that Saga can see them, since humans are not supposed to be able to see season fairies. Pepper speculates that exceptional humans might be able to see them, which is the best possible explanation. Sugar tells Saga that the three have been sent to Earth to train as full-fledged season fairies, and to do that, they must find 'Twinkles'.

Sugar moves into Saga's bedroom and sets up residence, much to the consternation of the super-structured Saga. Saga is a well-meaning, intelligent and highly-organised girl who feels compelled to look after the childish, loud and irresponsible Sugar, who is incapable of looking after herself. The story is complicated further with the arrival of three adult season fairies—Turmeric, a cloud fairy; Ginger, a rain fairy; and the Elder, the leader of the season fairies—and two more apprentices—Basil, a thunder fairy, and Cinnamon, an ice fairy.

With the highly disruptive presence of Sugar, Saga's life goes haywire. Her friends Norma and Anne think that she is losing her mind, and her teacher, Miss Hanna, is worried that her best student is acting strangely. Not at all concerned with her strange behavior is Greta, an egotistical rich girl who considers Saga to be her rival, and Phil, a goofy inventor who keeps trying to persuade Saga to help him with his experiments, if he is not already busy building and trying out his latest device.

This is a very cute and childish show that touches the heart. It has a whimsical story and atmosphere as though this was an old German fairy tail. Sadly, a lot of things that the characters act feels like Japan more then Germany.

Saga feels way too grown up and actually talks back to the older people. She always makes plains to do things at a special time period even going down to the second. She’s mostly a know it all who believes every needs a plan for everything. She says no to anyone who tries to give her something for free and strives to be ... the very best at things. Even though she does this, when she first sees Sugar, she doesn’t think its odd.

Sugar is really cute even though I would be annoyed too if someone would keep kissing me like how she does that. It’s interesting that Sugar and Saga look almost exactly alike, which brings the idea that Sugar is Saga’s childhood. If you want to get into the idea of this show showing not to grow up to fast, Sugar is like her child self asking her to stop being so grown up and to act like a kid again.

The animation is really bright and childish like a story book. It works well and brings the feeling of old Germany to light. Strangely, it feels like Belgium instead of Germany with all the waffles that are in it.

The voices are somewhat alright but Saga’s English voice is somewhat annoying. Its way to cutesy for a girl of her age. She sounds like Sakura from Card Captor Sakura. Greta feels really snobby. All in all, the English voices are not really the best and in this case, I would go more for the Japanese version. The music adds to the whimsical feel and is never to overpowering for the scenes. You can tell sometimes which fairy is around because the music changes a bit.

Welcome to another magnificent anime by the cute masterminds of Broccoli.

Unlike Pita Ten that I watched, Snow Fairy Sugar has a cast that I would say is pretty much perfect for what Snow Fairy Sugar wanted to be about. It also has a story, even though it's simple, it works really well and may even bring out some feels. In the world of Snow Fairy Sugar, Fairies are the reason for seasons (weather too) occurring. The clouds, the wind, the warm sun, the snow, the rain... they're all handled by fairies.

Snow Fairy Sugar is about two girls, a human girl named Saga and ... the Snow Fairy, Sugar. They're the two main characters of the show and being the mains, there is a lot of focus on them. Saga is a perfectionist, heck she's more than that, she's a super perfectionist having her entire life scheduled out to the minute. Her schedule and plans are interrupted one day when she sees Sugar lying on a box, starving for food. The start of a beautiful friendship happens at this very moment.

Sugar, the Snow Fairy, is quite the hectic little girl. Being an apprentice, Sugar and her two friends are in search for "twinkles" that can only be found in the human world. Once "twinkles" are found, they'll become full-fledged fairies, how neat!

There are two main supports for each girl in Snow Fairy Sugar. Salt the sun fairy and Pepper the wind fairy who support Sugar and each other in the search for "twinkles". They're all very cute and have differing personalities, Pepper is refined, Salt is a little brash and Sugar is quite eccentric.

With Saga we have Norma and Anne, her best friends that help her when she's in trouble.

The art style used in Little Snow Fairy Sugar is really really cute. The colors are light and vibrant, but not pastel or eye popping, slightly subdued from that nature. The characters are drawn in a simple manner, never over drawing more detail than absolutely necessary. The backgrounds are beautiful water paint-like drawings. Animation involved is also simple, but everything is smooth and there doesn't seem to be any issues involved at all.

Sound.... This is one of the best things about Snow Fairy Sugar, the music involved.... all of the BGM is orchestral based. Beautiful and harmonious strings accompanied by a soft and touching piano. Saga's mothers song on the piano serves as the basis for most songs that you will hear. All the fairies songs are based on it and the song will appear often as BGM; this is pretty fantastic because the simple melody is really sweet and for 24 episodes, I never got tired listening to it.

Story.... Although the story is really simple, it's a very endearing and touching story about friendship and the creation of "twinkle". It won't take long for the viewers to figure out what a "twinkle" is in Snow Fairy Sugar, but don't let that deter you from watching. The way that Saga and Sugar's friendship is tested and trailed upon every corner due to small problems is really great; I'd go as far as saying there are certain arcs that occur that could be realistic in how it's handled.

Bringing up arcs, the most interesting and unique thing about Snow Fairy Sugar that I've seen is the multiple small arcs and over arcing story that is told. It's the first Broccoli anime I've seen that cared to create something memorable in this regard.

Another unique aspect to Snow Fairy Sugar is the locale; it's not in Japan or anything, but in a small rural town based on Germany. The signs are Germanic, the clothing gives off an old German feeling, the streets and buildings seem very European and German. Big props for having a new and interesting place for an anime to be located in.

The ED and OP of Snow Fairy Sugar is pretty incredible too. Sugar Baby Looooooove (said like that), is the start of the OP, bright, bubbly and most astoundingly cute, it could overwhelm the members of AnimeGAF. The ED is really peaceful and much more sincere, using the piano, some light vocals and a super cute vocalist to end the episode, it's incredibly peaceful.

Comparing Pita Ten to Snow Fairy Sugar, I'd have to say if you're interested in one of these two shows, watch Little Snow Fairy Sugar first. It's comedic, it's sincere, it's well put together and doesn't have any annoying aspects at all. It's a fantastic anime

Seriously, this anime was just a bundle of cute and endearment. Adorable concept I really enjoyed.

Story: 8
It isn't some super complicated and intricate plot. It's pretty simple. Saga, the main character, befriends a snow fairy named Sugar and the other season fairies in the town while Sugar tries to become a true snow fairy. However, it's still got enjoyable scenes and little plots of Saga's everyday life and development with the characters both human and fairy.

Art: 8
Nothing super amazing, but some scenes I believe are just very simple and beautiful. Definitely a cute style too! Appealing characters with a quaint town scene that makes you ... feel really peaceful and generally happy.

Sound: 10
My favorite part of the show. I downloaded all the music from this series. The musical instruments and the melodies they produce are so addicting. They're quaint, sweet, and smooth. If you like the piano, violin, or trumpet, you'll definitely enjoy these melodies that added to the overall atmosphere of the scenes in the series. Not to mention the opening theme was absolutely adorable!!!

Character: 9
I loved the character development of this series. You got a real sense of character from all the different people, both pro and antagonists. I loved that Gretta, the "bad guy" was in fact not that bad at all but a confused child. It really gives a perspective that not all people are bad, but just have their own insecurities that make their thinking distorted. I liked the developed bond between Saga and Sugar, as well as the look into Saga's past with her mother and traits such as a strong sense of responsibility. Very likable characters.

Enjoyment: 8
Great to watch when you may be feeling a little down and need a bit of a pick me up. It was a kind of long series with not real particular plot with a lot of sort of fillers. I don't generally like those types of animes, but I did enjoy this one. Episodes with lots of good music were my favorite.

Overall: 8.5
I did very much enjoy this series. Will I have time to ever rewatch the whole thing again? Probably not, but I definitely enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind showing it to my kids or my niece one day if it's not too outdated. I think it's a good reminder of the simple things we miss in life. Things we should have learned but have forgotten as kids.

good day ladies and gents, this is the first review i will be writing on MAL (actually, make that like ever) so please bear with me as this is probably bound to be awkward, but i'm hoping that this review might help even just one person, to decide to try out this amazing series. so without further adieu, let's get this started!


story: 9/10
so the story of this series is basic but enjoyable (see the summary for more details), but to elaborate on it, the story comprises of the (mis)adventures of 3 fairy apprentices who are training to become full-fledged Season Fairies by finding what is ... known as "Twinkles". Sounds simple enough right? so why a 9 out of 10 you ask? well you see, there's also another aspect to this show, and that is the interactions and relationships that form between the characters. (no spoilers) this in my honest opinion was done very well and it was definitely heart warming.


sound: 8/10
I loved the soundtrack that was used in this series, i wish i could expand on this, but i would like to keep my review spoiler free so i'm afraid that's all i can say on that front.

the music definitely fits with the show, from upbeat to music so calm you feel like you're the only person in the world when you're listening to it. the opening Sugar Baby Love by Yoko Ishida is also one of my new personal favourites, definitely suited for this show. unfortunately i didn't think that the ending track was as good, not to say that it's bad though just not as good.


character: 10/10
the characters are definitely one of the best parts of the show! the way they are portrayed and their interactions with one another are so amusing that you can't help but find yourself smiling and yet there are other times that you might get so mad that you wish you had a punching bag to hit, just so that you can let off some steam. this is all a part of the enjoyment that the show gives you.

on the note of voice actors, i'm no expert but from what my unexperienced ears heard, the acting was a job well done, they really made the characters come to life. ah man! i wish i had a sugar too!


overall [final thoughts]: 9/10
so adding together everything i mentioned above, these are just some of the reasons i love this anime and why i decided to write a review to recommend it to others. if MAL used a decimal point based scoring system this would've been a 9.5/10 for me.

so last words... well although it's not centered around Christmas, i feel like this would definitely be the right time of year (festive season) to watch this anime. you're bound to have many laughs, maybe shed a few tears, sympathize with a some of the characters and perhaps even find a new OST to listen to.

-END-

PHEW!!!! well that's it for my first review! told ya it would be awkward didn't I? regardless, i had fun writing this.

This series is arguably one of the cutest. These snow fairies will let the moe out of every "real" man.

The selling part of this series is its overwhelming cuteness. The fact that the characters are chibi fairies and school children proves no other intention.

The story I believed was set in some town in Germany. It is nice to point out that the western setting was defined consistently in terms of culture, names and structures.

The naming sense was a genius idea. The cuteness of those chibi characters added with spice names makes them more kawaii and huggable and squeeshable and edible (ok that was ... weird).

The story is somewhat original in its own way. One thing I found weird is the lack of a main story line. This makes it a little episodic. And the ending i think is not fitting. Although the cuteness makes up for it. haha

The soundtrack is good. The piano pieces were great. It makes me want to place a camera next to my piano and do those tutorial videos like the one in youtube. The mood of the scene is amplified by the use of good soundtrack so they did a great job on that.

The opening song!! Ahh. I love the rendition. The original version was sung by the rubettes but i am loving this version of Yoko Ishida very much. thumbs up if you agree. Haha

The main character Saga and Greta reminds me of Sakura and Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura. The resemblance is uncanny don't you think? Because of that, I thought this was from CLAMP. But i think it is not.

Overall, This is worth a watch. You will not get tired of watching this until the end, that I gurantee. 9.5/10 it is. XD

This series was ridiculously cute. I think it was dragged out a bit and got repetitive at the end, but overall it was a very good children's story if you like that sort of thing. There were parts that seemed a bit dopey in and that I don't believe people would usually react the way some of the characters do. However overall it was a fairly good story. I liked the fairy's clothing too.

Little snow fairy sugar is a very cute show based on fairies that have to find a "twinkle"in order to be a full-pledged fairy.With cute colors and outfits this best fits young girls.

What we have here is a magical girl anime that tells the story of Sugar and her human companion Saga and we get to see Sugar make her transition into a full fledged season fairy with the help of her fairy friends. In this anime Season Fairies are little creatures that control all aspects of the weather. It is not only Sugar that is trying to make the transition into a full fledged season fairy but her friends are trying to do the same as well.
Judging from the title, your absolutely right - we are dealing with an anime that deals with a lot ... of cuteness. Regardless of the cute and adorable nature of this anime there is a compelling story to be told here but unfortunately it doesn't really start to take off until at least over half the anime is over. There is a huge emphasis on self growth and realizing your own potential but by the time your even remotely interested in the characters and the story you've already grown tired of it.

The main characters start off very unlikable throughout the first part of this anime because both Saga and Sugar know how to get on each others nerves and it would of been okay if there was any humour associated with it, but there wasn't much in the way of humor throughout the majority of the anime minus a few chuckle moments here and there. However, as their relationship develops throughout the entire anime you start to sympathize with them and how much they mean to each other.

The ending of this anime really saves it because it is a little sad with how it ends, but you understand why it has to end the way it did. However ultimately the biggest problem with this anime is its length. It really didn't need 24 episodes to tell its story since a lot of the episodes were useless filler without any real progression into the main heart of the story.
The anime is just ok; I don't consider it very memorable because a lot of the episodes did feel like a major drag. There were a few shining moments in the anime; there was one episode where the season fairies had to help a turtle accomplish his dream which was to fly and that was a very adorable episode but there was just too many episodes that focused on character development for characters i had no interest in whatsoever. It was even hard to even have a favorite character in this anime. I know who I hated in this anime the most, but to pick a character in this anime that I liked was incredibly hard.

I think another issue I had with this anime is that while this anime seems like something that would cater to kids or fans of magical girl anime there were a few moments throughout the anime that had a very sneaky creepy perverted vibe for it and it was totally unexpected and frankly unwanted. There were a few episodes that focused on a play called The Bear Pianist (Bare Penis), and I'm just saying to myself WTF. There were a few other moments as well but I won't spoil them.

Ultimately its a magical girl anime with a slow/intolerable beginning but if you stick with it, you'll grow to like the story and how it ends. It doesn't have a very memorable opening and ending song, but some of the background and foreground music is very beautiful.
