Vol2: more mayhem, more heart, more fun, October 10, 2003
This review is from: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar - Friends and Dreams (Vol. 2) (DVD)
Vol. 2 continues with the adventures of Sugar, Salt and Pepper as they try to discover "Twinkle" and become full-fledged season fairies. Ok so it's uber kawaii, but it's not annoying and actually is much more interesting that what i just described. the apprentice fairies are so cute and funny and fun to watch and this dvd also introduces 4 other fairies, opening the way for more mischief. episodes 5 introduces choro-sama, 6 and 7 are crucial to the development of sugar and saga's relationship and 8 gives salt a little more screentime. this is definitely a show for parents to watch with their little children, as it's heartwarming, lacks significant violence, and teaches values of social relationships. a little snow fairy sugar is one of the nicest show i've happened to come across:).

Gets Better and Better, September 3, 2003
This review is from: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar - Friends and Dreams (Vol. 2) (DVD)
The second DVD picks up where the first one left off, but with the elder of the Season Fairies showing up. However, he's not there to help out with the apprentices' quest for "twinkles", but to declare his affections for Ginger the Rain Fairy. This is all done in the spirit of fun and playfulness and comes off as being rather silly and cute. Parents have no need to worry about him turning into Master Roshi or Noboyuki Masaki.
Beyond this point the focus of the story switches away from the apprentices' search for "twinkles" to the lives of Saga in eps. 6 & 7 and Phil the inventor in ep 8. Up to now, Saga is shown as a very lighthearted character, but in these two episodes we get to see a darker side of her. The way her inner sorrow is presented is somewhat simple, but that's fine for children, and for those of us that can relate to Saga's experience, a detailed presentation isn't necessary anyway. This simple approach also prevents the show from becoming very emotionally heavy and getting bogged down and depressing.
Phil's quest to produce an Aurora artificially, is interesting, but not because he succeeds with the aid of magic. It's a good story because of his dogged determination. Time after time he fails, but Phil never gives up, never lets go of his vision. Apprentice Sun Fairy Salt is very impressed by Phil's hard work and determination, and thus is able to perfect the magic technique himself. Somehow Mr. Solomon completely missed this point.
Some wonderful episodes, in a series that just seems to get better and better as it goes on. ^_^

Just as good as the first....., July 12, 2003
This review is from: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar - Friends and Dreams (Vol. 2) (DVD)
The second DVD is full of fun, fantasy and friendship, just like the first. If you have seen the first one and loved it, you are garenteed to love the second one. It's great for the whole family. The on-going adventures of Saga and Sugar will entertain you!
