Magical items, colorful characters, and messed-up magic spells...
These are the perfect ingredients to create the perfect show called Akazukin Chacha.
This show consists of 74 episodes with 3 OVAs of the anime characters and a Musical
featuring a live cast of the Chacha characters.
The show is about a red-hooded girl named Chacha who is taught many magic spells
through her father-like mentor wizard, Seravy, who also carries a doll named Elizabeth.
However, Chacha isn't a grade A student of magic because most of her magic goes wrong
from her misspelling of Japanese! She is always happy and cheerful, and is too much of
a tomboy, which is cute! However, an evil being named Evil Magic Lord, wants Chacha
dead and uses his bumbling assistant, Sorges, to send monsters and create dangers to
destroy her!
Throughout her adventures to stop the Evil Magic Lord, she tags-along with her best
friends: Riiya, a strong boy who changes into a cute and fluffy little wolf at will,
and Shiine, a smart wizard apprentice and a good-mannered boy. These friends are given
Seravy's special magical items from Chacha that, when combined with "Love, Courage,
and Hope", they transform Chacha into the Magical Princess Holy-Up to destroy the Evil
Magic Lord's monsters. There are other friends Chacha meets during her adventures:
Marine, a selfish mermaid who wants Riiya to herself, Orin, a small and shy ninja girl
who loves Shiine, and Yakko, a great alchemist who wants Seravy to be her wizard
teacher and husband!
With other bizarre characters, like Chacha's school teachers Rascal and Barabaraman,
and an old and glass-eyed principal named Urara, Akazukin Chacha is a wonderfully
magical show that is filled with light-hearted humor, with lots of funny and remarkable
characters and story plots. When I first watched this show a long time ago, I was indeed
hooked by the many possibilities of humor and danger among Chacha and her friends
fighting evil monsters. I believe that while watching the first show and a couple of
episodes, the show itself is a hit among magical shows like Sailor Moon and it's such
a cool show that I love the characters so much! I would recommend watching this cute
red-hooded girl and her friends get into many fun adventures that you would want to
sing the opening theme song over and over again and have the cool collection for
yourself, not to mention dressing yourself up with your favorite Chacha character
for cosplay! I did, with my friends, and boy, was it fun! ^_^
Overall rating: A+
