The final appearances of the cute & tiny ones.. Sniff... As far as
deliberately-cute shows for adults go, this has been one of the better
ones.
7 - October
I swear that's Shipon in the dating game Tama-chan's playing. Anyway,
it's Autumn, and time for the Bottle Fairy Poetic Challenge. Poor
Tama's been picked to sit through the fairies' poetic efforts &
judge who's best... Following that, it's on to the Sports Festival -
all the fairies have to do is figure out who they're competing
against...
8 - November
Poor plant out front that has no flower - the fairies decide to help it
bloom, with a little help from Tama-chan. They're very pleased with
themselves when Hanana finally flowers - but also very confused when
the flowers finally wilt away...
9 - December
It's New Year's Eve - but the fairies have been too busy playing at
Christmas to have done any party preparations. It's up to the
all-knowing Tama-chan to help them prepare. Taking her advice to heart,
New Year preparations somehow manage to turn into an epic Japanese
drama...
10 - January
Carrying on directly from where the last ep ended... Spend New Year's
Day right if you want the rest of the year to go well, says Tama-chan.
Her idea of the day spent right is playing board games (looks
suspiciously like the Game of Life to me...).
11 - February
February means Valentine's Day, of course - but the fairies aren't
entirely sure what it's all about. Cue lessons from Tama-chan on how to
make Valentine's chocolates... Once they've made their chocolate, it's
time to give it to Sensei-san, but that turns out to be harder than
they thought...
12 - March
It's Doll Festival time. Meanwhile, the fairies
receive a letter from fairy land, asking how their studies are going.
When Tama-chan goes off on a tangent about graduation and separation,
the fairies worry that ending their studies in the human world &
becoming human could lead to them having to leave the friends they've
made there...
13 - ..And Then...
Having become human, the four fairies have to get used to living in the
one body... Problem #1: Sensei-san's forgotten his lunchbox, so can
they get it to him in one piece? Easier said than done when you've
never really been outside before, and don't know what Sensei-san's real
name is...
I made a mistake here by watching these seven eps in one sitting -
that's just too much cute for any sane person to handle in one go, and
it spoiled it for me. Note to everyone else: watch Bottle Fairy 1 episode at a time!!.
Other than that, this has been a fun series, with its fairy-eye take
on events & happenings that most people take for granted. Good
stuff, if you don't sit through it all in one go! |
