Little Snow Fairy Sugar
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.
This .gif really encompasses how cute and adorable Little Snow Fairy Sugar can be (Sorry 'bout the quality)
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 ever 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.
That's great! Enjoy the weekend Ninja!

Episode 1 - So nipples get sucked on, that's what matters here. Cute face and all, this will be fun.
