Introduction
Set in the year 2004, Binzume Yousei is a slice-of-life fairy tale that revolves around four fairies, each represented by four unique colors as seen with their magical bottle jars. These fairies are the extremely peppy Kururu, the reserved and feminine Chiriri, the samurai-loving tomboy Sarara, and the quiet yet quirky Hororo.
Fascinated by the human world, these fairies arrived from the fairy world in hopes of participating in the annual traditions and overall way of human life. However, they have a very limited understanding of the human world. Luckily, they are befriended and guided by two humans—"Sensei-san," a university student who they live with, and a first-grade girl they call "Tama-chan," who is sometimes as naive as the fairies themselves.
Though these bottle fairies have strange ideas and sometimes have difficulty understanding this new world, they try to make the most of the human experience in their own cute little ways.

Overall, this anime was pretty enjoyable to watch because of its mild humor and tendency to overflow with cutesy themes.
The plot of Binzume Yousei, or in English, Bottle Fairy, revolves around 4 fairy girls named Sarara, Chiriri, Kururu, and Hororo, who are trying to become human by learning about the outside world and how humans live. With help from the one who looks after them, called "Sensei-san," they do just that. But, in the process, their neighbor, a 7-8 year old girl named Tama-chan, misinterprets some of the things humans do, and passes it off as advice to the fairies.
This gets repeated in each episode, as the fairies learn valuable information that could lead them to become humans.
I think this series could be completely enjoyable to someone who loves anime that can make th…

Xebec is one of those studios with a decent output that I've somehow managed to largely overlook. I've reviewed three of their works so far. The good Rinne No Lagrange, the mediocre Bakuretsu Hunters and the downright terrible Mnemosyne. One trend you may notice is that these works tend to be for older audiences. So, how does a studio like Xebec handle an anime with children as the primary audience? To find out let's look at Bottle Fairy.
Bottle Fairy doesn't have a cohesive story so much as it does a scenario. Four faeries associated with the seasons come to Earth in bottles where they live with a bloke they know only as "Sensei-san" and try to learn about the human world. Unfortunately for them, most of their information comes from television dramas and the first grader next door, Tama…

Bottle Fairy , an anime about fairies that come from bottles.
The story is basically about four tiny fairies having fun adventures. Every episode is divided by months and every month basically has a different topic to it.
They regularlly just learn these sort of things from the high school kid who took them in and the 5th grader next door.
As for the ending, well let's just say things get a little weird....overall this anime is pretty good none the less.
This is my latest review since well in months...so it might be a little rusty. That is all.

Just before we go into this review I wanted to say the only reason I saw this title was because I wanted to lower my mean score, I am picky and because of that I watch too many good anime. Keep in mind though I saw the dub, which I heard wasn't as good since they took out the puns. I got to tell you right off the bat that this show is almost too cute for me, after the first episode I got used to the cuteness though, but does that mean it will hold up to being a good series? Not really, I mean its okay, but the characters are a bit bland and there isn't enough time for them to evolve their personality. There isn't much comedy for me with this series, I only laughed a little because of the main casts adorable antics. The story, while straight forward, could have been good if there was just b…

First off, this is really stinking cute. It really was created for little kids to learn about their culture and in turn, it actually helps us understand a bit. It goes threw the 12 months and what happens in each month in Japan. It has a little bit of comedy in it, more in the sub then the dub because of word plays. The English does still have Japanese words in it and try to help explain them but it’s somewhat hard to understand when some of the pronunciations are off. One thing that I do wish they would have done was explain how they came to be and how they found Sensei. I also wanted to know what Sensei’s real name was.
The characters are easy to know who is who in personalities… infact, most of them can be seen in Lucky Star as well. Kururu sort of becomes the leader for most of it, ra…

Bottle Fairy, cleverly disguised as a lighthearted and innocent comedy about four small fairies discovering the world around then and learning to become humans, also hides a dark side that may not be readily apparent.
The man known only as 'Sensei-san' keeps these fairies in bottles on his desk. If you're like me, the first thing you think of is the Legend of Zelda, and you wonder if he sacrifices the fairies to restore his own life. Rather than that though, he uses them as his own personal harem, taking advantage of Stockholm Syndrome, causing a prisoner to develop affection for their hostage-taker.
Furthermore, Sensei-san frequently has his next-door neighbor over to his house as a guest. Who is his neighbor? A first-grade girl. Imagine letting your first grade daughter go next door…

I watched Bottle Fairy a long time ago. I was drawn to it but the cuteness of it all. The fairies are actually really funny. My personal favorite is Hororin. While the plot is nothing spectacular, I have learned a lot about Japanese culture from this Anime. The episodes are divided into months and each month has a Theme. The episodes are also very short, lasting onlt 12 minutes, but each are filled with cuteness. If you are looking for action, adventure, and mind-bending plots, you won't find it here, but you will find a highly interesting, cutely drawn, funny anime that you will always remember.

Anime like this makes me think I'm going to have diabetes before I'm 30. Packed to the brim with saccharine sweetness, Bottle Fairy delivers a heaping helping of brain-rotting sugar... which can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of anime you like.
The story is set up quite well in the OP. Four fairy girls come to the human world to learn to become humans. They pin their hopes and dreams on a boy whom they call "Sensei-san". Living with "Sensei-san" and given advice by his neighbor, Tama-chan, the fairies try to learn as much about being human as they can.
It's not the best "let's make funny takes on everday life" story, but it's certainly not the worst. It's mildly humorous and with a 15-minute run time per episode, it's something you can swallow quickly and easily in between…

I wanted to watch Bottle Fairy because I thought it was a really cute story.
I was right on that point: it was supercute!
So if you want to watch a cute story: this is your anime! If you want a real good story, look farther because Bottle Fairy is about 4 fairies who want to become human. They learn about us and try to be like us, what most of the times doesn't work...so it's funny too. Bottle Fairy is not really bad but not something I can recommend.

Bottle Fairy is all about going through each day and experiencing things. Four faeries want to become human but in order to do so they first need to understand what it means to be human. And so they take help from their human friend and Sensei to start their training.
This series goes through the Japanese calender and bring up traditions and folklore. It is very funny most of the time as the different personalities of the faeries and the way they interpret situations vary a great deal. This, combined with the fact that the episodes are in a short format, about 11 minutes when neglecting opening and ending animation, make this series really worthwhile when you have a short opening in the schedule and want to have a good laugh at the same time. And ofcourse the faeries are so cute that you w…
