There's something very different about anime made in the 2000s. They have a slow, easy going and reminiscent feeling to it. And nearly 20 years ago, in the breezy fall of 2001, J.C. Staff graced us with one of the cutest and heart-warming anime ever created: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. A truly precious hidden gem of the distant past.
Set in the peaceful and antique fictional town of Muhlenberg - Germany, A Little Snow Fairy Sugars tells the tale about the everyday life of Little Sugar and Saga. A bitttersweet and heart-wrenching story full of laughters and tears.
How can anyone be as adorable as our lovely Sugar-chan? She's an apprentice snow fairy that only Saga can see. To become a talented fairy like her mother, Sugar and her friends must go on an important training. To find the "twink…

Atmosphere is one of the most important components when crafting a good show. If a show has weak or inappropriate atmosphere, it can potentially tarnish any chance of having emotional resonance with the audience, even if the script and acting are great. There are some anime fans that have a hard time enjoying a lot of horror anime for this very reason, because some of the scenes that were meant to be scary can come off as comedic instead if done poorly.
Then you have those rare shows which have a certain aura to them. Maybe the characters are a bit corny and the plot isn’t very engaging, but despite that, they still manage to pull some emotion out of you.
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar is exactly that type of show. What it lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for it with sincerity.

**Minor Spoilers**
What we have here is a magical girl anime that tells the story of Sugar and her human companion Saga and we get to see Sugar make her transition into a full fledged season fairy with the help of her fairy friends. In this anime Season Fairies are little creatures that control all aspects of the weather. It is not only Sugar that is trying to make the transition into a full fledged season fairy but her friends are trying to do the same as well.
Judging from the title, your absolutely right - we are dealing with an anime that deals with a lot of cuteness. Regardless of the cute and adorable nature of this anime there is a compelling story to be told here but unfortunately it doesn't really start to take off until at least over half the anime is over. There is a huge empha…

good day ladies and gents, this is the first review i will be writing on MAL (actually, make that like ever) so please bear with me as this is probably bound to be awkward, but i'm hoping that this review might help even just one person, to decide to try out this amazing series. so without further adieu, let's get this started!
story: 9/10
so the story of this series is basic but enjoyable (see the summary for more details), but to elaborate on it, the story comprises of the (mis)adventures of 3 fairy apprentices who are training to become full-fledged Season Fairies by finding what is known as "Twinkles". Sounds simple enough right? so why a 9 out of 10 you ask? well you see, there's also another aspect to this show, and that is the interactions and relationships that form between the c…

Welcome to another magnificent anime by the cute masterminds of Broccoli.
Unlike Pita Ten that I watched, Snow Fairy Sugar has a cast that I would say is pretty much perfect for what Snow Fairy Sugar wanted to be about. It also has a story, even though it's simple, it works really well and may even bring out some feels. In the world of Snow Fairy Sugar, Fairies are the reason for seasons (weather too) occurring. The clouds, the wind, the warm sun, the snow, the rain... they're all handled by fairies.
Snow Fairy Sugar is about two girls, a human girl named Saga and the Snow Fairy, Sugar. They're the two main characters of the show and being the mains, there is a lot of focus on them. Saga is a perfectionist, heck she's more than that, she's a super perfectionist having her entire life sch…

I can not express words how good this anime was. In fact, the anime itself delivers message that is unique for each viewer. Do not let its prominent shroud of childish folly trick you into thinking it is another anime for children for it is entirely in reverse. However, the kiddies are still more than welcome to watch it with you as this anime rarely has any adult contemporary in it.
What holds this anime up to very high standards is that, not only did it deliver a very overwhelmingly-good storyline, but all of this was entirely original and not based off a manga which destroys any complaints against whether or not it "stayed true" to such a thing as it is non-existent here for this original anime possesses a very strong and innovative story.
If the characters are too cheesy for you to t…

This is a very cute and childish show that touches the heart. It has a whimsical story and atmosphere as though this was an old German fairy tail. Sadly, a lot of things that the characters act feels like Japan more then Germany.
Saga feels way too grown up and actually talks back to the older people. She always makes plains to do things at a special time period even going down to the second. She’s mostly a know it all who believes every needs a plan for everything. She says no to anyone who tries to give her something for free and strives to be the very best at things. Even though she does this, when she first sees Sugar, she doesn’t think its odd.
Sugar is really cute even though I would be annoyed too if someone would keep kissing me like how she does that. It’s interesting that Suga…

Seriously, this anime was just a bundle of cute and endearment. Adorable concept I really enjoyed.
Story: 8
It isn't some super complicated and intricate plot. It's pretty simple. Saga, the main character, befriends a snow fairy named Sugar and the other season fairies in the town while Sugar tries to become a true snow fairy. However, it's still got enjoyable scenes and little plots of Saga's everyday life and development with the characters both human and fairy.
Art: 8
Nothing super amazing, but some scenes I believe are just very simple and beautiful. Definitely a cute style too! Appealing characters with a quaint town scene that makes you feel really peaceful and generally happy.
Sound: 10
My favorite part of the show. I downloaded all the music from this series. The musical instru…

This series is arguably one of the cutest. These snow fairies will let the moe out of every "real" man.
The selling part of this series is its overwhelming cuteness. The fact that the characters are chibi fairies and school children proves no other intention.
The story I believed was set in some town in Germany. It is nice to point out that the western setting was defined consistently in terms of culture, names and structures.
The naming sense was a genius idea. The cuteness of those chibi characters added with spice names makes them more kawaii and huggable and squeeshable and edible (ok that was weird).
The story is somewhat original in its own way. One thing I found weird is the lack of a main story line. This makes it a little episodic. And the ending i think is not fitting. Altho…

PROS:
Intriguing setting
likable characters
Adults can enjoy just as much as children
Cons:
Greta, Basil , and Cinnamon
Cutesy dialog may annoy some people
STORY: I thought the idea of fairys controlling the weather was a unique idea. Although having a human living with a nonhuman has been done before, it still felt refreshing. One of the things I respect about this anime the most is that it never feels dumbed down
ART:
The animation is very beautiful and inviting .The environments remind me of Miyazaki's movies.
SOUND:
The english dub is superb, Michelle Ruff is a perfect fit for Saga, the same goes for Rebecca Forstadt as Sugar. They both did an amazing job bringing their characters to life.
CHARACTERS:
Accept for a select few all of the characters are likable. I would have liked…

Have you ever wondered why the snow falls, the wind blows, and the clouds fill the sky? A Little Snow Fairy Sugar shows us that everything is controlled by musical little fairies! Weather has never been so adorable!
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar revolves around an eleven year old girl Saga and the little fairy apprentice Sugar that only she can see.

Saga is a serious girl who plans out everything meticulously and lives a very ordered life. When Sugar comes into her life she turns it all completely upside-down.
The story mostly has a slice of life feel to its pacin…

The story is based around 11-year-old Saga Bergmann, a young girl in a small German town who lives with her grandmother Regina and works in a coffee shop when not in school. Saga is extremely structured and plans her life down to the minute. One day, she notices a tiny creature in a fluffy outfit that appears to be starving. She offers it a waffle, which helps revive the tiny creature. Saga learns that this tiny creature is Sugar, an apprentice season fairy. Sugar explains that season fairies alter the weather by playing a magical musical instrument, and her specialty is snow, which she creates by playing the piccolo. Sugar is joined by two more apprentice season fairies, Salt, an outgoing male fairy who plays the trumpet to make the sun shine more brightly, and Pepper, a quiet and caring…

This series was ridiculously cute. I think it was dragged out a bit and got repetitive at the end, but overall it was a very good children's story if you like that sort of thing. There were parts that seemed a bit dopey in and that I don't believe people would usually react the way some of the characters do. However overall it was a fairly good story. I liked the fairy's clothing too.

I love this anime so much I have the whole series. Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar is just too cute for words. And yet, despite it's adorable factor, I can honestly say this anime made me cry at the end.
Basically, to sum it up, the story is of a young, punctual, planning girl named Saga who, much to her dismay, happens to encounter upon a small fairy known as a "season fairy" (and it's not so long afterward until she meets others). The first little season fairy is named Sugar, and apprentice to become a great snow fairy. Now, you can't say Saga is the most happy to find Sugar. Actually, she's anything but. She doesn't want anything to do with these crazy things she's stumbled on-- they're absolutely ruining her plans!
But soon enough, Sugar beings to live with Saga after the magic seed was plant…

Like the name of the titular character, this anime is so sweet and cute that you will probably forgive any fault that you see in it.
The best thing in this anime is the characters. The fairies Sugar, Salt and Pepper are so cute, but not in the annoying way. Choro-sama, the elder fairy, will also make you laugh with his silly antics over his obsession with Ginger - a fairy obviously so much younger than him! Basil and Cinammon are also characters who, despite their bratty and rascal ways, will worm their way into your hearts.
And if you watched Card Captor Sakura, you just might be in for a surprise. The artwork is so similar but the Tomoyo-looking character is the frenemy (friend/enemy) of one of the lead characters - Saga (patterned after Sakura). I found this to be very funny - seeing…
