Bottle Fairy again.

Something else I started a while back and finally got around to finishing off. Would have done it a lot sooner but I thought there was more left than there actually was. If you don’t recall my earlier post it’s one of those shows with absolutely no story line. Stuff just happens in each episode and pretty much nothing ever has anything to do with a prior episode save the episode that takes place on new years eve which is followed by one that covers new years day itself. Well the fairy group eventually do turn human, not quite as expected but in a rather amusing way. And they still manage to pull off disturbingly cute despite no longer being two and a half inches tall. Last episode is full of way too many word puns, japanese word puns, not that the rest of the show wasn’t. Luckily these ones are entirely based on words sounding the same so the meaning isn’t important as long as you know sensei and obento. Multiple occasions occur when something similar to that is said. I really don’t want to butcher the ending for anyone so I’ll just be quiet about anythign else and swap to a different topic.

There’s been a greenlight on a second season of Rosario + Vampire, which is great since I haven’t finished all of season one yet, but hey something to look forward to come October… And yeah, that’s about it for now aside from some Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase- but I’ll be saving that for a post of it’s own, maybe later today, maybe tomorrow.

Bottle Fairy 1-4

It’s a little old but Bottle Fairy can be summed up in one word, and that word is ‘cute.’ Any number of adverbs could be added, really cute, very cute, world destroyingly cute… The show centers around four faeries the small enough to use a doll house as an actual home. For some reason though they seem content to instead sleep on the desk of the person they live with, a man they refer to as Sensei-san.  The entire point of the show is the faeries learning about the human world, and they manage to do this without hardly ever leaving the house. ‘Sensei-san’ hardly does anything in the show, but he was crucial to the storyline of episode three in a very indirect way. He received a love letter which sparked faerie imaginations and led us into the days thing. Typically we pick up just before a holiday like new years or golden week and the faeries misunderstand it and/or are given similarly inaccurate information by Tama-chan, the little girl who lives next door. They spend an entire episode pretending to go to school,preparing for the new year because if they don’t complete a list of things the new year will *never* come. (So says the Tama-chan) Another episode sees them wanting to enjoy the summer in their swimsuits where I have no idea where came from… They are magic though so maybe they just made them that way. I figure if they can bring a tiny plush winged cat to life, stop plants from wilting then they should be able to magic up a swimsuit. Or perhaps they came with the doll house they clean up in the new years episode… which I assume they borrowed from Tama-chan, either that or Sensei-san collects figurines… and keeps them remarkably well hidden from everyone but the faeries. The title Bottle Faeries seemingly has nothing to do with anything. We do however see each of them climb out of a bottle that is more like a jar during the OP animation… so maybe there’s back story I just haven’t gotten to yet.

It’s cute, it’s funny. There’s no storyline that’s going to make you want to skip sleep or other things to see the next part. Each episode is self contained and wraps itself up nicely at the end of it’s twenty some minutes. The animation for the ED theme is always relative to the episode that just played.
