This is adorable!!!, October 4, 2006
A Kid's Review
Yay! A little snow fairy sugar special is entirely enjoyable to any people of all ages! Waffo! It starts when Saga finds a fairy, and feeds her a waffle which she calls, "Waffo" and takes her home. Since then she's been nothing but a nuisance to Saga. In this special, they're putting on a school play that is held at their school, which Sugar would like to take part in, so she makes her own play. With twists and turns, this is a clean happy movie, with nothing but----oh, what the heck! Just buy it! You won't regret it! Waffo!
Bye-bye now!

The best anime for all ages., July 3, 2008
Firstly-- you have got to love anything cute before buying this or any other set of the same show: voices, scenarios, colors, layout, story, characters and most specially Sugar (the tiny Snow Fairy) herself BECAUSE she's all over the frames like some klutzy thing that wanted to be of help, no matter her size!
And secondly-- this is a steal! With so many anime titles to choose from, sometimes it's really a difficult matter to pick which one's the next best thing for your growing collection! I was at Borders Bookstore (Northridge area) 2 years back when I chanced upon the manga version. As soon as I got home, I searched online for an animated version and amazon has them. I didn't need to complete the book form after I got the complete box set of the show, and I have no regrets either.
And lastly-- if you're an OTAKU, you won't even care how Sugar behaved at all times because her cuteness will definitely win you over. So what are you still waiting for? Go BUY it NOW! :D

SUGAR MELTS, September 5, 2005
Saga has a special friend, Sugar, a weather fairy visible only to her, who at times makes you drown in her sickly saccharine sweetness. She actually would be a little cute if she just kept her mouth shut! With her annoying voice it makes you want to step on her. These two episodes are a flashback of sorts from the perspective of an older Saga as she remembers when her class put on a school play. As Saga's class prepares, Sugar and her fairy friends also begin to produce their own play, with more humorous results.
The problem with this show is that it lives by cuteness, but Sugar is more grating than sweet. The only comedy relief you get is from the class prima donna, Greta, who is a walking cliche, and the other fairies. But it's not enough to make this special interesting or engaging. I can't imagine anyone sitting through the 24 episodes of the regular TV series after seeing this sample.
I would recommend the anime Figure 17 for a good example of mixing cuteness and plot.
