On the first look, Sugar Sugar Rune somewhat feels like a typical endearing magical girl story filled with cute characters, colorful outfits, and lighthearted adventures. Its bright aesthetic and whimsical tone may give the impression of a simple fantasy aimed purely at younger audiences. However, beneath its playful surface lies a surprisingly thoughtful coming-of-age tale about friendship, rivalry, and the complicated emotions that accompany growing up. The series appears to be a cheerful magical competition but then gradually reveals a story that is more reflective about human feelings and personal growth than its premise might suggest. The narrative follows two young witches, named Chocolat Meilleure and Vanilla Mieux. Both of them are sent from the magical world to the human world to…

What a fun little time I had while watching Sugar Sugar Rune.
It was the first Mahou Shoujo anime I had ever seen, and as such, I was worried about two potential issues (more accurately described as concerns, tough) I could have while watching a series so different to what I was accustomed to see.
The first of these issues manifested itself on the form of the incredible amount of episodes this show had compared to shows I was used to watch. At much, I had seen series with 20-something chapters at maximum and the 51 episodes of Sugar Sugar Rune represented a mountain of content for me who I wasn't sure I would be able to chew through even if I liked the contents of the series.
Speaking about the contents of this series, the second concern I had consisted of these contents themselves and…

Sugar Sugar Rune is wholesome, comedic, sweet magical girl fun.
The magical world is an interesting place, along with its customs which led to the story's plot. The human world is just as colorful. I love the way it integrates the humans and witches. The story may seem typical for a shoujo magical girl series, but it's done really well and has pretty unique ideas to make them more exciting. Furthermore, it can be funny, dramatic, and romantic.
The characters are also fun to watch. Chocolat is a great lead and her antics are hilarious. Vanilla is a great foil to Chocolat and their mentor is fun. The supporting cast and antagonists are also entertaining.
The artwork is really nice and fantastical. The animation has great magical girl elements and the OST is decent.

i enjoyed this show, but i would have preferred it to retain throughout the carefree, comedic tone of its first 20 or so episodes that were focused on collecting hearts, this way it still could have worked with its young target audience. at the same time, the writers seemed to be running out of ideas for these kinda episodes halfway through, with some episodes being similar to previous ones, maybe they had to hit a 50 episodes mark?
after this, the writing quality wasn't up for the darker themes it dabbled with, or for its romantic drama either
it also has some pacing issues, by which the tone of the show changes very rapidly and unnaturally, and it is only on the last episodes the viewer gets much of the story information behind the main conflict. because of it, for most of the show i wa…

Coming from a 25-year-old veteran anime/manga lover, I have to say this anime took me by surprise. As a child, I was OBSESSED with magical girl animes, but as I've gotten older my tastes have changed. The character development and the ML kept me watching until I finished this!
Story/Character:
Most of the time, when watching any of these magical girls shows, they tend to keep their villans as bland and simple, but this anime for sure did the opposite. This was my drive to keep watching. If you like a villain that has a backstory and complex layers, you should give Sugar Sugar Rune a shoot!
I didn't like some parts of Vanilla and Chocolat's personalities, but keeping in mind these kids are only 10, helps reason out their actions. Their friendship was so beautiful to me and moved me so! Ev…

he first words that come into my mind when i think about sugar sugar rune are: creative and magical.
If you see the first 3 to 5 episodes you maybe thinking that sugar sugar rune is just an ordinary flat plot twisted mahou shojo anime like for example the first season of sailor moon
But if you go on watching you realise that sugar sugar rune is cute is like cotton candy but not all the time. It is definetly not like madoka you shouldn't expect this but if you understand what the plot is about you would be suprised.
I really appreciate the plot. It suprised me a lot at some points and the story never get really boring for me. One thing i wanna to mentioned at the end is the "univers" sugar sugar rune plays in. It is really magical and beautiful drawn. I think sugar sugar rune has some of m…

This anime is like a dream for young girls.
So fun and flirty. I have watched this anime two times.
First time I watched it, I hated some characters, liked some.
Second time I watched it, I understood more of the reason why the characters acted the way they did.
Chocolat and Vanilla are the two witches who are queen candidates. Their mission is to capture as much hearts as they can (ecure) and pass exams for the queen seat. During their journey, they were to stay in the human world and collect hearts from humans. Witches' hearts were not supposed to be captured because they only had one, while humans had more than one. This series has tons of themes and variety of magic that won't keep you bored for long. There are villians as well, but it only goes into much deeper detail in the second…

Summary: I watched it and hated it, but I suppose that being a 26-year-old introverted girl who has seen a lot of much better anime has a lot to do with my profound lack of enjoyment of Sugar Sugar Rune. I wish I could say I would recommend it to at least 8 to 12-year-old girls but honestly I can’t say I would: this will be a negative review. Anyone who’s interested in the show’s positive points, please look elsewhere.
So, Sugar Sugar Rune. I somehow missed the Sailor Moon craze when I was still a small kid so I actually don’t have a lot of background in mahou shoujo, which I attempted to remedy by picking up this show. The reviews were pretty good, promising a surprisingly nuanced, slightly dark twist upon the genre so often accused of being rife with overblown drama, too much saccharine…

I think that there's something about Sugar Sugar Rune which both makes you think, keeps you hooked, and let's you enjoy the show all at once.
Now, at first I thought this would just be an anime I wouldn't get too hooked on and that I could watch maybe 2 episodes a week, but boy was I wrong there - I got so hooked that I finished all 51 episodes in about 3 days!
The animation, I have to say, could have been a lot better - one of the reasons I had been a bit reluctant to watch it at first was because the animation didn't particularly appeal to me, but once I got used to it after a few episodes I began to appreciate the story for what it was.
Chocolat is an extremely extroverted, loud, cheery girl who isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Although this can get kind of annoying…

Sugar Sugar rune is of the reasons I became more into anime. I was into anime but this pushed me over the top.
I always got a weird feeling in my stomach whenever they played the creepy music and pierre came out. Maybe it was their intention, but it was interesting.

Part 1 Chunk: (Please forgive me for basically writing an essay. I need to find another hobby.)
What show could fit your mood if you're looking for something simple yet fun? This show. It is nothing more than a children's show, but it is far from being boring. Sure, it can get rather repetitive, but the repetitive parts I found hard to outright hate, actually. I do dislike a certain character who is purely there to create filler, but even she ends up better in the end. If anything, this show stole my heart AND if you think stealing hearts is a bad thing, this show will do it anyway with magic potions, love charms, hugs, smiles, and kisses.
Two Witches named Chocolat Meilleure and Vanilla Mieux are Queen Candidates who collect valuable different colored hearts can only receive them by wo…

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 more than 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've recently just finish watching Sugar Sugar Rune, and I found myself attracted to the series despite all the faults it has.
First I must say the animation REALLY turns me down. The anime does little justice to the original manga's art style. Characters are often distorted, and you see a lot of repeating actions. The anime's plot line (which is different from the manga) have a few loopholes, but if you can look past it, it's not bad at all.
Although Sugar Sugar Rune's animation isn't... the best out there, I found myself to really enjoy this show and even write my first review on MAL. The character designs are great, I love the outfits (there are more in the manga) and more so the distinctive personalities.
But what really attracted me to Sugar Sugar Rune is Chocolat. At first I reall…

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 shoujo series, 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,…

Chocola is an extrovert and an assertive girl, while her friend Vanilla is extremely shy and hesitant; together, they both come from the Magical Kingdom and are the next candidates in line for the throne. In order to qualify to be the Queen, Chocola and Vanilla are sent to the Human World to improve their magic; the assessment is based on capturing the most 'hearts' of the people in the Human World. Chocola's upfront behavior was popular in the Magical Kingdom, but in the Human World, people prefer the personality of her newly formed rival, Vanilla. Now, Chocola must work extra hard to live up to her mother's failure -- all while repressing her desire to whup everyone's butt!
