I have arrived in defense of one of my favorite releases of the season. Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is dramatic, angsty, beautiful and SO shoujo.

As someone who is a massive shoujo consumer, be it in manga or anime form, I can with confidence say that it has been a while since we got a shoujo adaptation that had a big budget and where the studio didn't seem to give up on it halfway through the season. This is a massive plus in my book because shoujo deserves GOOD adaptations as much the shounen and seinen demographic (don't even get me started on josei because we ...

This honestly feels like quite an up and coming adventure, that I can only see getting more sweet as it goes along. Even if it packs a good number of punches to boot.

Story and characters: 7
Lets put it this way. What if Shield Hero was more light and colourful, then you've got Sugar Fairy. While also still having some heavy elements, and badass moments through out. But what really makes things shine, is the relationship of the characters that is within the show.It's the glue that holds the whole story together. Even ones that are more loud, really add more to the whole atmosphere, so ...

I wasn't going to do a prelim review of this yet, but after reading claims that it glorifies slave owning...I had to chime in to hype this story up. Let me tell you, as someone who has actually read the released light novels and has been following this story closely, you are in for a treat!!

Is it anything revolutionary? No. Is it still a wholesome story of growth, resilience, grief, friendship, love, survival...yes!! Also...does it glorify slave owning? Absolutely not. From the first episode/chapter Anne has numerous conversations with others and herself on the reality of the world - humans have enslaved fairies. She always ...

To say that the ending ruined the whole show is an understatement... This is a show of suffering. It should be called Sugar Apple Fairy Hell

The show sells itself as quite a laid back and feel good anime, but at the end, I feel everything but this. I'm writing the review because it was a bitter ending, not sweet in the slightest, nor warranted.

To start, characters who had committed irreperable deeds had been kept relevant throughout the show. There were constant feelings throughout of revenge and vengeance, but by the very people who were the perpetrators. Even the MC, who had suffered throughout the show, ...

This show was a colourful and vibrant fantasy that had some good ideas, but also showed us another shoujo series where the romance just isn’t all that interesting. Sure, I could go for the low-hanging fruit and criticize the slavery themes, or the age gap in the romance, but I’m not going to focus on that. Instead, I want to highlight how modern shoujo anime follow a very similar formula that just isn’t all that engaging.

Granted, I’m not very familiar with shoujo anime, so if you disagree with what I say, feel free to enlighten me on the subject, but from the ones I have ...

I’m not really good at writing reviews, so I made a little list of factors, which made me fell in love with this anime:
-interesting and deeply developed world
-you want to keep learning more about fairies and the art of silver sugar
-also the anime explains everything you might want to know
-main character, Ann Halford, is very likeable and watching her makes you cross your fingers whenever she faces difficult challenges
-character designs are pretty, especially main characters
-beautiful art style, fitting fantasy vibe – sometimes there are lower quality drawings/anatomy proportions moments, but it happens in majority of anime series and I don’t feel bugged by this
-immersive fantasy ...

Lately there aren't many fantasy romance anime that really interest me, I think romance fantasy stories these days are very predictable, mostly it's just the looks that are good, not the story, like sometimes ml/fl forget their goal and instead create a harem, mc who has been overpowered since childhood or something like that. it really bored me. But Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is different! I really like this, I'm at a loss to express it in words, I like the story and the music which is relaxing and calming. Obviously, I recommend it!!! I really hope there will be a season 2 >w<

I’ll admit, at first, I was skeptical about jumping into a series with such a cliche title, but chose to anyway out of curiosity. Right from the first episode, I was proven wrong in the best way possible!

Although not as dark, this story has some Madoka-esque mature twists to it, with the title of “Fairy Tale” honestly being a little misleading. Without spoiling anything, alongside the main storyline, there is some rather deep commentary on the relationships between the Humans and the Fairies of this world, as well as some surprisingly hard-hitting backstories for a couple of our main characters. Not one scene so far ...

I feel really bad for shoujo manga and light novel fans. They hardly get any decent adaptations of recent properties and really have to either get into manga or settle for less then stellar works. But SAFT is really bad, to the point of being indefensible. Yes, Im talking about the slavery shit.

Its an unwritten rule in these types of fantasy shows that if for some reason there is slavery its very downplayed or the slavery feels nothing like real world slavery. However, SAFT goes out of its way to present slavery in a very realistic way with the fairies being an underclass, the property ...

This is a charming and cozy anime, I love the relationship between Anne and challe and how it develops throughout the series.

The art style of this anime is beautiful and it really fits the story, the designs of the sugar confections and fairy wings are a highlight for me especially. I love all the outfits the characters wear it really adds to the fantasy aspect of the storym

I think Anne is a really interesting protagonist, she's not perfect but she always tries to do the right thing. I like how she actually has a goal and isn't just another passive character. But challe ...

Sometimes a sweet little fantasy is needed. Although not dynamic and action-packed, it has its moments. It has depth, although it seems soft and fluffy. I wouldn't expect anything too crazy deep or original. So far, ep.8, there are a lot of cliches in the conflicts that have taken place, but I still find myself interested in where it will go.

The art is really pretty. The animation isn't top-notch. It's pretty simple (sometimes noticeably lacking), but the focus on art in other areas makes up for it. The light and colorful character designs are beautiful. Each character feels unique and has its own color scheme. ...

I knew I wanted to watch <i>Sugar Apple Fairy Tale</i> the moment I saw the key visual. The coloring is gorgeous, the fantasy aesthetic is immaculate, and the promise of a healthy dose of drama simmers underneath. Romance! Fairies! Candy making! Surely a winning formula.

However, this deceptively pretty candy apple is laced with some less-than-sweet flavors. Do they enhance the flavor, or make the dessert unbearably bitter? The answer is ultimately personal and not one-size-fits-all(-tastebuds).

Story: 3/10

It took me several tries over a few seasonal cours to make it to the end of <i>Sugar Apple Fairy Tale's</i> scant 12-episode run, because the protagonist never catches a ...

A lot of people really like to rag on shoujo for being formulaic, boring, or whatever buzzwords they come up with to justify hating everything the genre produces. There are certainly parts of the series I'm not the biggest fan of (age gap, slavery, some non-consensual themes), but overall, Sugar Apple delivers exactly what it promises: A charming story about a sugar artisan and her beloved fairy. If you don't have shounen brain damage and are looking for something with an element of fantasy that isn't just another vaguely fantasy isekai, PLEASE watch SAFT.

Ann is genuinely one of my favourite protagonists I've seen in ...

The animation for this series never missed and so is the amount of love I feel for Anne, Challe, and Mythril.

They are all lovely characters who doesn't feel like caricatures. Anne, the protagonist, was too kind to a fault (sometimes it annoys me because I want her to just snap at someone) but it is her very kindness be which allowed me to stay endeared. Challe Fen Challe, on the other hand, has a quiet character with subtle character development that is not forced.

The series gives a feel comfort BUT the antagonists are definitely one of the best I encountered this anime season. The frustration, ...

I usually don't write prelim reviews, or reviews at all for that matter, but I absolutely love Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has been feeling starved for shoujo fantasy, which frankly is something we have been rarely getting lately. I have been hyped for this show ever since I heard about it last year, and it did not disappoint, it's easily my highlight of every week and I get so excited to see the newest episode every Friday. So why do I think this show is so awesome? Well, a few reasons~

Art/Animation: An absolute 10/10 for me. I ...

I thought it was a charming "classic" kind of shoujo that id been missing as of late, an enjoyable pass time.

Id love to give it a higher rating, I especially enjoyed little mythril lid pods character, but the general characterization of the characters and particularly the antagonists was really flat, they were all frustrating to watch and repetitive in the obstacles they'd bring Anne. and somehow despite encountering very similar scenarios repeatedly, and building trust between the main duo, falling for the tricks, miscommunication and doubt rang true whenever a problem occurred lol. I DID say it was classically shoujo, so technically that problem ...

This is one of the strongest shows this season. The animation and character design are beautiful; the story is nuanced, unique and incredibly well-written. The story is set in a world where fairies are enslaved and the main male character, Challe, on crunchyroll, Shall here is purchased by Anne MC as a warrior fairy for her trip to the capital to submit her sugar confectionary. Not the first anime to deal with slavery but could turn you off to the show so assess accordingly. Anne, as a character, is against fairy slavery and was raised to value fairy life as equal but the society that ...

loves it. this is like my FAVORITE type of romance. like i'm a twilight/vampire diaries/teen wolf fan. i LOVE a good girly pop gets paired with surly mysterious magical dude set up. and honestly, something i liked about this series was that the romance didn't feel totally one sided. like in my personal opinion, challe showed more interest in anne in this show than tomoe did in nanami throughout the entirety of kamisama hajimemashita. sorry to randomly drag kamisama kiss for no reason, but that's an example of a romance show that's wildly popular, and like, even though i enjoyed it, i really wasn't convinced ...

For a series all about sweets, it is incredibly salty and bitter,

I can't for the life of me take this series to heart with the number of infuriating moments the series has to offer, it's a good show with a lot of moments that makes or breaks your enjoyment of the series,

The style of the anime is amazing, the animation, not so much considering there's little action and most of the times its still frames with only the mouth moving and that's alright since its focused on romance and making confectionaries with a lot of dialogues to begin with,

The story is fine, the ...

Do you like the video game Tales of Vesperia? Well, I can't think of an anime that captures the overall feeling, animation, and charm than Sugar Apple Fairy. Truth be told, I was hesitant to start watching this anime based on the name of it being so "cutsey", but I'm glad I did.

I love the visuals in the anime. It's almost like canvas art. The characters are full of personality, so you don't have to worry about any bland characters. Whenever there is action it does it at a very good level of detail. There are some mature topics that are brought up in ...
