Save Me! Lollipop

Save Me! Lollipop

Introduction

Nina Yamada's greatest dream is to find someone that will protect her in the same way the princesses are in her storybooks. She soon desperately needs that protection: when she swallows a strange pink ball of what she believes to be hard candy, a huge number of people fall from the sky. The ball she swallowed is the Crystal Pearl, a symbolic trinket that magic users from another world fight over. The winner of the Crystal Pearl passes a magic exam that can grant them the prestigious title of professional wizards. Zero and Ichii, two young men taking the exam together, quickly determine that the pearl is inside Nina and promise to protect her until the exam is over. With countless other examinees after the object, their task is daunting—but not as brutal as the embarrassment Nina faces when she arrives at school with two handsome boys at her heels.

I have not seen this show since middle school, and oh my god i had to write a review of his show. Okay so... I rewatched this anime so I could write this review. Ahem, Mamotte! Lollipop/Save Me Lollipop! is a fairly short 13 episode show. The show's main character is Nina, a 12-year-old girl who mistakenly eats a pink crystal pearl that is sought by a swarm of examinee sorcerers from another dimension. And two boys who dropped from the sky swear to keep her safe till the exam is done. That is the gist of all of it! So... This show is cringe, like 6th grader who wrote a fanfic level of cringe... And I ate this up as usual. It's so bad that it's good! I like shoujo and fantasy so this anime caught me hook, line, and sinker. The anime has a trickle of backstories throughout the episodes, bu…

I thought this was hilarious when I was a child. I remember being on the floor it was so entertaining! Watching it today at 28, not so much. It was still fun and a couple moments had me laughing. There’s not a lot of animation either. Lots of stills and Nina is a bit much. The change in personality isn’t as entertaining from innocent and loving to extreme tsun beating up on Zero. Mostly, it’s just cartoony. I watched the whole series over a decade ago, but for this review, I only watched ep1. I usually don’t write reviews, but I thought I would this time. This series will be super entertaining for a young audience, a decade ago, I would’ve scored this highly, but the series isn’t so much for an older audience so my score would be much lower now.

Mamotte/Save Me! Lollipop is the kind of show that’s so bad it’s good. The story is absolutely ridiculous and full of plot holes. The entire PREMISE of the show makes no sense (can’t she just digest the Crystal Pearl and get rid of it that way?) and it gets even wilder from there. The animation is shitty even for a mid-2000s kids anime, and the characters too. We’ve got the immature middle school girl protagonist, the two boy best friends (the ‘edgy’ one with anime boy hair and a rude personality, and the calmer one with a dark backstory + earring), and a slew of villain pairs who get more and more bland as the show goes on. I’m pretty sure the soundtrack (excluding the OP and ED, which too are generic J-Pop tunes) is just stock music the studio found, because I can’t find it anywhere on…

This is I believe the fourth anime I ever watched? I've seen it a few times since the initial viewing, and I swear it just gets worse and worse everytime you watch it. First of all, the sound is meh, the animation is pretty bad, and the story is mediocre at best and has been done much better in better shows. Honestly there isn't much to talk about other than characters. For one, I hate Nina. I don't care that she's 12, she's whiney, annoying, stupid, and never shuts up. She also gets herself into so much trouble constantly. She's also selfish and a bad role model. All of this is a shame, because I actually think she has a cute design... Zero is okay. In the english dub (the one I watched) he was voiced by one of my favorite voice actors Eric Vale, and he did a really nice job for what…

Mamotte lollipop is an amazing anime, it isn't my very favorite, but when I'm thinking of an anime I want to watch, this is always the first to come to my mind . I love it soooo much. STORY - 10 - The story is simply amazing and is one of the more unique and amazing of the anime lot! A girl who swallows a pearl for a magic test, and two male wizards who promise to protect her from the rest of the wizards who are after her, what's better than that? XD ART - 9 - I thought the art was quite good, but I'm not one to ask I don't really care all that much. SOUND - 10 - I loved the op, end, and the background music of this anime!!! It was all amazing. CHARACTER - 9 - The characters were all very good, and funny, though none really stood out from magnificence. ENJOYMENT- 10 - I enjoyed th…

Mamotte Lollipop or Save Me Lollipop is one of those really good yet underrated anime that you wish people would give a try. I came across this series when I was at a local book store one day looking for a new Manga to read. I did some Research after I bought the Manga to see if there is also an Anime. I always look for something that looks like a very cute series. And sure enough this is what I was looking for. I definitely recommend this if you like a Shoujo Anime about a main female character who is surrounded by cute boys. Story The story is something I would be interested in but because this is a very common thing in anime for the main female character to be surrounded by boys and have them protect her, I highly doubt this would be the anime for you if you get bored of the same theme…

I read the manga and it was one of my favorites, yeah, factor in the crummy translating and scanlations- they took pictures of the BOOKS and posted them, as though you could actually read something so blurry and small!- and the fact that towards the end the story veered off to have something to do with a guy named Joker and people named after card suits, it got a little confusing and was no longer true to the synopsis, which is one thing a lot of people hate. I had no doubt that the anime wouldn't have everything the manga did- it's too short, but I did NOT like the anime. Yes, it stayed true to what the manga started as, which I DID appreciate, but Nina was such a fricking twat I wanted to strangle her most of the time, and they cut out all of the romance parts! They barely developed an…

I'm not going to bother telling you all what the story is about because there are two reviews before mine that already say the same things; not to mention the synopsis at the top of the page. Regardless, I'm breaking out the decent grammar for this one because usually I type like a third grader. I read this manga a few years ago and have several fond memories of it. I liked it a lot and found the story to be, while childish, pretty decent. However, this anime adaptation was atrocious. The art is really awful, (at some points the characters look like their shorts are pulled up to their arm pits, the characters are seen wearing the same clothes every day, attack sequences are recycled) the story is quite different from the manga, and several important characters are missing. Not to mention…

Save Me! Lollipop... I was watching the previews on my Ouran High School Host Club DVD Box Set one day, and the preview for this came on. I recognized Brittney Karbowski's voice, and since I am a huge fan of her, I had to watch it. That night I started it, finished it 6 hours later, and honestly I don't know what to think about it. It was probably one of the most interesting thing's I've watched over the summer, and by interesting, I mean strangest. The story is fairly simple. 2 magicians, Zero and Ichii, are from the magic world and they've entered a competition to become full-fledged wizards, only the item they have to obtain is eaten by a girl named Nina, who wishes that the person she'd fall in love with would fight for her and defend her. The fighting and defending part actually came…

Save Me! Lollipop. I thought it was very good most of the time. But you couldn't see anything but mistakes. The characters were a little rough and I would of liked to see a little more action. I liked it because of the romance between the three characters and the ways of the story. I didn't like how the story was the same every episode. As someone already said its plain boring but it entertains you for awhile until you get bored of it. As said before its VERY short. 13 episodes or 26? I would choose 26. I mean come on. Seriously! You need more episodes to complete the series. That's not even enough for a season. Trust me it's good but don't waste your money on it. Bonioni

First of all, I only finished the series because I BOUGHT the DVD, because I read the first few volumes of the manga and liked it and thought the anime might be good, too. Wow. I was wrong. VERY wrong. The best thing about this anime is the opening song. Seriously. Although its only 13 episodes, it's so boring and uninteresting it seems to drag on and on and on. I had to force myself pretty hard to finish watching it - just so the money I spent wouldent go to waste. Story: 5. It's very ordinary. Nothing I havent seen before. Art: 3. Below-average. Sound: 7. Like I said - the opening was the best part. Character: 5. Characters are very typical, cliche. Enjoyment: 2. Booooooooooooring.

Mamotte! Lollipop is a fairly short 13 episode show. The main character is Nina, a 12 year old who, while eating a cake, mistakes the crystal pearl that lands on her bowl as candy and eats it, right before all the magical examinees come falling from the sky. The first two examinees she meets are Zero and Ichi, who, upon discovering that she accidentally swallowed the pearl, drag her off to find a way to get the pearl back. Unfortunately, there is no way for them to get the pearl out at the moment, so they have to wait until Christmas, the last day of the exam. Zero and Ichi then decide that they will protect Nina from the other examinees until they find a way to get the pearl out of her. Story: 6 The plot is not completely awful, but it's not amazing either. Since the anime cut out parts…
