Introduction
Miho Shinohara is a care-free third-grader and an aspiring manga artist. One day, she encounters Mogu and Pigu - two lost fairies disguised as stuffed animals. In exchange for staying at her home until they find a way to return to their own world, the fairies give Miho a special sketch pad and pencil that enable her to magically create real objects from what she draws. With the pen, Miho can also transform into Lala, a beautiful teenage girl created from her manga art. As Lala, she is discovered by a talent agency, and so begins her adventures from an ordinary school girl to a model to an idol singer.

This series is teeming with creativity, a pair of prehistoric dinosaurs shrink themselves into chibi forms, that resemble stuffed animals; and then, imbue an eight-year-old with a magical sketchbook that can create clothes and even has the ability to create sentient life. Yes, in one episode Miho alchemically creates a pet cat. As you can expect from that statement, this series is bonkers, but can also be super fun and has some really serious moments! Too bad the ending was a huge downer!

I would have probably rated this series the same ranking as Creamy Mami (a 3★), if there wasn't a suddenly cruel, head-scratcher of an ending. The undertone to Fancy Lala had always been a little bit more mature than the fun, '80s, reference-filled…

Overall (9/10) Great Anime I think Japanese need to make like these anime and this anime is better than Creamy Mami for me. If you love anime which focus in story then try watch this even if it's Magical girl you feel like your not watching a Magical Girl Anime.

As someone who's more versed with magical girl series such as Sailor Moon, Utena, Yuki Yuna, Madoka, aka the shows where the heroines are often going against dark agencies and battling against baddies to save the world, Fancy Lala is far from that beaten path. But, still, the catchy opening and exceptional artwork (considering the time and perhaps budget) were enough to have me hooked at first glance.
As simple as the premise was - young girl encounters magical creatures who grant her the power to transform into the (older) girl she finds herself cartooning about in her spare time - there were so many poignant moments that viscerally brought the show to life - specifically two off the top of my head, Episode 8 and Episode 12.
Miho is, as Lala, completely relatable - she never quite loose…

Some anime in this world are just plain good. Some anime in this world are just plain bad. Some anime look like they'll be awesome, yet later on turn out to be terrible and stupid. Some anime, which by all intents and purposes should NOT be good, wind up being so wonderful and so amazing that you have to wonder why most people don't know about how awesome they really are, especially if you find out that said show is a children's show primarily aimed at young girls. Back in the 1990s, both American and Japanese kids shows tried to appeal to young boys, which was the desired audience back then. But what about shows for girls? Nowadays, people think girls shows won't sell. Thankfully, with the new cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, that view is changing, but most channels often have…

[SPOILER WARNING]
First of all I must say that I'm not into maho-shoujo series, that's why Fancy Lala was a big discovery for me. It's oriented on mature themes and not some almighty little girls what's common in such type of animes. Fancy Lala is definitely among underrated shows. It's not a wonder if we take first, misleading episode into consideration. At first I thought about dropping it too, but fortunately I haven't.
Story: The story envolves around girl called Miho.With help of magical dinosaurs she posseses power to transform into teenage beauty. We see adult problems from 9-year-old girl's point of view. She is able to carry out both Idol job and at the same time remain normal school girl. The story is a big development for Miho, we see her handling different situations. It's j…
