Okay I'm finished with yesterdays rant so lets review something nice and fluffy as we dive into one of Sega's lesser known franchises Lil Pri.

The world of Fairyland is in trouble as all the happiness is being drained from it's lands so the Queen sends three magical pets to awaken the three legendary idols based on popular fairy tale princesses in order to restore happiness into the world. To do this, three young girls, Ringo, Leila and Natsuki are transformed into the teenage idols of Snow White, Cinderella and Kaguya respectively who sing their pop songs and restore happiness to both Fairyland and Earth.
This sounds like one of those shows for girls that you'd easily get annoyed about but it's actually surprisingly good, mainly because it pays homage to the 80s Magical Idol shows but also starts a trend of extreme color palettes and impossible idol dresses that are now common place in today's shojo line up with the likes of PriPara, Pretty Cure and Aikatsu, and it's biggest selling point, the songs are surprisingly catchy, the comedy is quite amusing, the characters are likeable apart from Vivi the Cat whose appearance felt forced, and while it remains basic in it's plot and somewhat predictable, it's touching moments can make even the hardest anime fan cry.
It's definitely not to everyone's tastes, Japan's take on Anime for young girls is somewhere in the region of Hatsune Miku meets Disney Princess which definitely sounds like the worst combination in the world but in reality it really isn't as bad as the pretty sparkles make out.
No English dub but I did hear a Korean dub which is surprisingly good, research for you, you never know what your going to get.
Final Verdict: Definitely not to the average anime fan's tastes but if you do manage to look past the sparkles you do get to watch a good anime.
