Sugar Sugar Rune is my favorite Mahou Shoujo anime. Though I generally like the genre, and watch it a lot, I found this anime not only more enjoyable but also deeper then many other anime. At first I was just in love with the fact the two witches could see the hearts of humans, and I admit, I wish I could do the same. Although the story starts out simple, like they are just playing a game, the story gets deeper, and more serious around half the series. The story is about jealousy, friendship and love. And even though this is common for many mahou shoujoseries, I find the way it is portrayed in this anime great mainly because it isn't as you would expect. There are things you would expect when watching it, of course, but they are always twisted just a little bit from what I had imagined, and therefore still surprising. The art, well, I love it. It is beautifull and the animation is clean. I like the character designs, although I do not like all the clothes :P The sound is good, and although most of the voice actors aren't that popular, they did a great job. The only problem for me was Waffle, who kept reminding me of Honey-sempai. Characters: I loved them. I never really liked Vanilla though, but all the other characters are fun and easy to relate to. I especially love Pierre, who is cold but still caring and who really helped me enjoy this series. Waffle was annoying sometimes, but certainly near the end of the series, she matured and I realised she wasn't so bad after all. Enjoyment: I greatly enjoyed this anime, I plan to buy the manga's and dvd box because I would love to see more of it. (I actually already bought a 'sugar sugar rune'goodie bag when I was in Italy, but to my dissapointment it only had barbie stuff in it T-T) This series is number 2 in top 10 anime and I recommend it to everyone!

Ahh...Sugar Sugar Rune is probably one of the best anime I have ever watched partly because it is such an enjoyable anime. I love ALL the characters especially Chocolat and not to mention, the ever so sexy Pierre with his sexy chants (Don't you think he sounds so omfg hot whenever he casts his magic spells?) I thought that the animation and artwork was OUTSTANDING. Seriously, in this anime, I noticed they use less chibi art and express more emotions in the characters faces and that's what I love about it. I LOVED how deep the story is and how Chocolat seems to think morethan she acts - making me think that she's a really brave and mature girl who's not afraid to act what she thinks. The friendship between Chocolat and Vanilla is SO real that it sometimes brings tears to my eyes when I see them fighting. Sometimes, I really do envy their relationship - that's how REAL their friendship is. As for Pierre - he is my absolute favourite. I loved him. Why isn't there a guy like Pierre? Pierre's dark, deep and mysterious which explains why I love him. I like watching how his feelings for Chocolat grow - slowly...and eventually so strong that he's willing to....*watch the anime to get it* ^_^ Even though these girls are just 10 year olds, they definitely do not act or think the way a 10 year old think. Makes me wonder why was I playing with Barbie when I was a 10 year old -_- The characters' sound perfectly fitted the roles of the characters. I love it. The person who played Pierre had a very sexy and deep voice - exactly like how Pierre is. As for Chocolat - very cute and angry sounding :P As for Vanilla, KAWAII ne! Let's not forget the supporting characters, the familiars, Duke and Bianca - ONE WORD. FUNNY. I love how Duke goes kero and Bianca goes chu chu - it's so so cute! Waffle is a great addition to the story as well as she makes the whole story less serious and funny. Robin is wonderful as well. Cinnamon is very special looking and somewhat attracts me a lot. Although the anime is WAY different than the manga, I can honestly say that I would prefer the anime because of it's striking colour and fantastic animation. Although I'd prefer people to read the manga to get the REAL story of the battle between the Ogres and the magical world. Very deep - in the manga, less deep in the anime. Overall, the storyline is good - I mean hell!! What a creative and original storyline if you ask me. The characters - are beautiful and different. Sigh. I just adore Pierre. Do excuse me. :3 I'd recommend EVERYBODY to watch it because I seriously tear up in most of the episodes. You HAVE got to love Chocolat. Love the way she thinks and how strong she is. Makes me admire her a lot. SUGAR SUGAR RUNE FTW! My blog: http://27lily.blogspot.com/
