Lilpri Little ★Princess!
Thanks to my friend Ashley, I'm nao a huge believer in Lilpri. Move over Idol masters, these girls are sparkly, cute and involved in a very interesting concept. The first episode introduced us to Fairyland (How <3 ) a world where a beautiful Queen rules and where Happiness is the power source. The people of Fairyland need these "Happiness Tones" the same way normal human beings need air. Perhaps I missed something but for some reason the Happiness is fading away and the only way to gain Happiness Tones again is to send three talking critters to the real world and find three chosen girls to become the miracle idols. This is where the anime takes on an interesting concept with each chosen girl's powers represented by a classic fairy tale. Snow White, Cinderella and even Kaguya-hime! aka The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which you can read here along with a short story by Wolvy-sama:
[Mai Alternate] The Moon Princess
Back to Lilpri, the chosen girls eventually obtain these powers thanks to the critters. Ringo-chan, Leila-chan and Natsuki-chan ( IMPOSTER!!! ) obtain the powers of gems and transform into older versions of themselves (think Minky Momo, one of the all-time anime greats) who sing in idol master fashion, collecting the energy of happiness from the people who love their performance. The series may be too cute for viewers, but I love it. It's such a throwback to the glory days of anime with no battles, just innocent little girls (portrayed in a NON-SEXUAL WAY! VERY IMPORTANT) making people happy. A Little Snow Fairy Sugar was the last anime series to do this successfully and nao with Lilpri, I'm once again reminded why I'm an anime fan to begin with. Sure there's little depth, but this is entertaining and makes you feel good. I will review each episode as I go along.
Unfortunately to watch Lilpri, you'll have to visit the king of anime/manga websites, Crunchyroll /endsarcasm:

I am SO glad you love it!!! It really is my favorite anime ever. Everytime I watch an episode it just makes me feel so happy and refreshed, like I'm a kid again.
I only wish this series was a little more popular so they would make more merchandise. I want a nice huge collection of lipri stuff I'll be sure to check up here, I wanna know what you think of each ep

Ironic how the anime series itself is drawing Happiness Tones from it's viewers.
Just recently, I finished Episode 2 of LilPri and it was a great follow up. nao at this point, some anime I've been watching lately seems to stray away from the main focus on the story. I was kinda expecting the girls not to transform, because I'm used to modern day anime straying off into quick filler. I was proven wrong thanks goodness.
The episode opens with with little Ringo waking up in the morning, still in disbelief about yesterday's events. Ringo, along with the other girls, meet up with the Ma-Pets (Magic Pets, the name of their critters) who give a proper introduction to who they are. This was clearly an episode to introduce us to the Ma-Pets (Dai, Sei and Ryoku) and observe their charming personalities. What follows is a very cute Apple Pie Indian Strap match between the three:
Naw, I'm just playing, though there is apple pie involved. There's a scene where the Ma-Pets are extremely hungry so they chow down on every single apple pie in the store kitchen. XD Ending up nice and fat. Realizing they made a boo-boo, the Ma-Pets try to make substitutes for the customers. XD The result is hilarious, no tongue was safe!
Rumors about the botched apple pies started to spread like wildfire, so Ringo and the girls transform into sparkling trio "LilPri" once again to draw the crowds back, who are nao eating delicious apple pie again, thanks to the power of cooperation. <3
Great feel good ending, this episode was about properly introducing us to the Ma-Pets and it was done so nicely. And a personal shout out to Ayaka Wada, seiyuu/J-Pop singer. She is my favorite seiyuu in the series so far.
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
Who can say no to the girls of S/Mileage as the three main girls? Not me! It was a strange coincedence that S/Mileage is my favorite Jpop group, and Lilpri is my favorite anime

SO YOU USE A PSYDUCK!?
LilPri's final episode is still a long way away for me, I'm sure it'll be awesome and emotional. The perfect anime ending has great build up and drama leading into it. Sailor Moon did it fives times in all five of it's seasons.
Lilpri's 3rd episode review will be up tonight. Watch for it!
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
Luu Sky Sapphire reviews Lilpri Episode 3: The Princess is Forgetful! Pri!
So THAT'S what a door-mouse is! The episode opens up with a cute little dream by Dai, who wakes up to be greeted by the sweet Leila Takashiro. This episode featured sequences of sewing, forgetfulness and housework, which indicated Leila's Cinderella representation.
The theme to this episode was hearts, sewing and handkerchiefs...OH MY! We're introduced to the energetic but goodhearted sensei, Atsui Tarou who wants his class to make something that would symbolize the students in general. Unfortunately none of them are interested in taking part in whatever he had planned, not even the idea of making a flag out of each student's handkerchief. That actually sounds pretty damn cool, wish I did that when I was Leila-chan's age.
With the best of intentions, Leila discovers the flag that Atsui-sensei stitched together after everyone left their handkerchiefs in the classroom without a care, and takes it home. Again, catering to the Cinderella gimmick, she leaves the flag at home, instead of bringing it to the field trip. The flag that entrusted with the hearts of his students was nowhere to be found, causing the students to walk away and eat lunch. The Ma-Pets suddenly rush into action (with a mysterious Rabbit that shows them the way, and for some reason, I feel this Rabbit belongs to that Wish bishonen. I dunno why, call it a hunch.)
Making it in time with the flag, the students still don't focus their attention on their teacher. To grab that attention, the girls transform into Lilpri and save the day again! I found it comical how, while Lilpri did capture their attention, they ended up more amazed with the handkerchief flag. All I can say that it was one of those magical moments you just don't question. :)

He meant well, can't wait to see what he does next! :) You can't help but like the ones who try hard to unite people together.

Lilpri Episode 4 - Master Arrives! Pri! Review by Luu Sky Sapphire
As the last episode focused on Leila Takashiro, this one focused on my favorite of the Lipri trio, Natsuki Sasahara. She's the Pri who becomes Kaguya-hime. I knew from the beginning that this episode would focus on her and what a delight it was. Natsuki is a pouty individual who grew up in a very high class family. RICH! But when her grandparents take off on a business trip, they leave Natsuki home to await the arrival of a veteran master of dance.
Meet
As Natsuki and Ryoku search for the fabric the scary master needs, Natsuki ends up pulling it from underneath a pyramid of other fabrics, causing them all to crash and unroll themselves. It gets worse! The fabric she was sent to retrieve gets ripped! Ringo and Leila try to distract the master as long as humanly possible, but she eventually sees the mess caused by Natsuki. What follows is a very nice scene with the master respecting Natsuki for being truthful about the mistake. The makings of a true "Budding Princess". To repay the Master's kindness, Lilpri shows up to inspire The Master enough to unleash a brand new dance.
The woman used ALL the fabrics in the end, I laughed so freaking hard. XD Her reaction...geez!
Job well done girls! Look forward to my episode 5 review soon!

Best scene? The Sei-Strut:

Precisely. The kind of mascot character that improvises any situation. :3
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
(( Like I said on the random thoughts thread, I've been watching LilPri non-stop without reviewing each episode. >o< Sorry about that, blame laziness and the multitasking demon. But I must say something most newbie LilPri fans probably guessed already...I KNOW CHRIS-BUNNY WAS WISH! I KNEW IT FROM THE VERY FIRST SECOND I LAID EYES ON HIM AND IT WAS SO OBVIOUS AND OMG, WHY WERE THERE PEOPLE ON CRUNCHYROLL (before Ashley was kind enough to give me the torrent) DOUBTING THIS?! THEY HAD THE SAME SEIYUU, DID THEY NOT?!
*catches breath* There has been further character development going on for the girls. Natsuki in particular, is so entertaining to watch, she's athletic and spunky. Fitting character to be based off Kaguya-hime.
I'll review the next episode I'm on, so look out for that tomorrow! With more praise for Ayaka Wada's voice work. She's the best. >w< ))

(( Nah, it wasn't the Crunchyroll forums that had these silly pondering fans. It was their comment box to the side of the video, it was enough to gouge your eyes out.
You got her into the series? Nice! There's nothing insulting about it, so if she's anything like you in personality, she'll adore the upbeat LilPri universe for all time. ))
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
(( Double post for merchandise sharing! LilPri items straight from Japan!
^ Some sort of fan with Ringo, Natsuki, Leila and all the Ma-Pets. Looking through Yahoo Japan, I wanted something of LilPri that I could proudly display on my wall. There were like, no posters at all, so I went for this little item. I thought it looked really cute. :)
^ Extra stuff that came with it. :) The one on the right is a sticker. <3 ))

^o^ I'd like a calender poster set, I'll look in that soon enough! For nao it's review timez for episode 9 of LilPri. I don't have the screenshots because my capture program decided to crazy on me. >_>
Luu Sky Sapphire quick reviews: LilPri Episode 9: PriPri Soccer! Pri!
The series furthers my love for little Natsuki by showcasing one of her many talents: SOCCER! Oh I'm sorry, it's FUTBOL! >_> When an old friend asks Natsuki to join their team (because they stink worse than the Besaid Aurochs of Final Fantasy X) she agrees to it, which causes their current star player, Kakeru, to be removed. He hasn't been playing very well as of late, and a fellow team member gets really upset about this. He then challenges Natsuki to a one-on-one Soccer duel to decide who will play at the big game coming up. Did this kid actually think he would beat the girl who single handled owned his entire team AND countered the Ma-Pets special Soccer technique?! When the duel came to an end, Natsuki does the right thing by faking an injury so that Kakeru can prove himself this time. Thanks Wish-Bunneh, you're always around when we need you. ;p
Allowing Kakeru to enter the game turns out to be a disaster. As he tries to make a winning goal shot, his anxiety gets the best of him again. Not wasting another second, Natsuki gets the girls together to transform into LilPri causing him to turn to the game around completely. There was a scene where Natsuki (in LilPri form) lectured Kakeru, triggering his memory to Natsuki telling him the exact same thing earlier. I doubt he'll put 2 and 2 together further in upcoming episode, buy hey, it was another feel good moment. :) ))
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
Vivi, anime's most tackiest cat since Hello Kitty. XDDD
Just finished the series!!!! As I've mentioned before, Lilpri came at the right time in my life. It wasn't a series heavy on morals or had cheesy battles, it was just a show that gave you a smile each day with the daily mission to make person-of-the-day happy. It's uplifting to see three friends (with their faithful Ma-pets as well) overcome obstacles for most of the series. In the second half, the new Ma-pet character of Vivi the Cat appears to act as sort of a Team Rocket villain. Not really evil, just pesky. Normally when they bring in a new mascot character who's obnoxious, it's a signal that the series is 'jumping the shark'. Not the case with Vivi in my opinion, she added a nice little attitude to the show and had it's fun to watch her TRY to ruin LilPri's mission, at the same time treats Chris (aka Wish) like gold.
I mentioned to Ashley (the MM Valkerie who recommended this cute series to me) that my new favorite character is the Evil Queen and I feel kinda bad saying that since she is your stereotypical "HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO, I'M EVIL FOR THE SAKE OF BEING EVIL" woman, but she is freaking hilarious! I do admit she should of been the only scary character in the anime, a character that went against the logic of the show and was truly cruel. But hey, this works too for the laughs!
Through each episode, especially the later ones, we see more and more famous characters from legends/fairy tales show up in Tokyo. One of my favorite episodes was when Ryoku (Natsuki's broccoli looking dragon Ma-Pet) trained with Natsuki to unleash his inner dragon while a loose circus tiger wanders around Natsuki's home. Brilliant episode!
It was sad to see LilPri end, I'm surprised to see it go way longer than sleeper hits like Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Yes, LilPri isn't at that level of depth or shock value, but it accomplishes what it needs to. Making people smile, the very mission of the three girls. Happiness Tones exited my body by the hundreds! ^_^
Luu Sky Sapphire rates LilPri:
****/*****
If you can tolerate cute things, you will love this anime. Repeat songs may get on your nerves though, but the humor can be really clever and the use of fictional characters from Fairyland will have you rolling in laughter. Both children and adults will like it.
Re: Lilpri ♥ Little ★Princess!
I might give this a watch. I might. I can tolerate very few cute things, but I stomached Mermaid Melody.

Haha, Lilpri take the cuteness further than Mermaid Melody. To it's credit; it can be really clever in certain episodes. Don't watch Lilpri with high expectations, it's just a feel-good series to watch on those days you feel like shit. Makes you believe the reality is filled with kindness and fun for a few minutes. :)
