faithb4sight's Review Note: This is a review of the Geneon dub version of this series. Violence / Gore: Very little violence at all. The only thing I can think to mention is that in a play, a guy gets a gun pointed at him. Nudity / Sexual Content: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar is an extremely innocent anime so things that might sound scandalous in my review truly came across as very minor issues (to me)... There are multiple bath scenes in which the main character is sitting in her tub. She is usually talking to fairies while she bathes. The fairies are portrayed as being young children so it is innocent. Plus, they are covered in bubbles. There is one bath scene where an elderly male fairy is in the bathtub. He's facing away from everyone, and I'm pretty sure he gets thrown out of the tub. This particular elderly fairy spends the majority of the series chasing after a woman-fairy who is MUCH younger than him. Nothing ever comes of it - she obviously does not share the affections. There is one minor female character who (in a play) is portrayed as a man. A young girl becomes obsessed with this person. When it is revealed that the person is a girl, she still acts very affectionate. She later refers to the woman as her "beloved." This is portrayed innocently enough, but I thought it worth mention. Sugar (a young fairy) loves to give everyone kisses (on the cheek). Whenever she tries to kiss boy fairies, they usually shirk away from it. A 3-year old runs around without clothes, but nothing is shown. Potentially problematic theological themes: This anime revolves around fairies and magic. The fairies play their instruments and it causes weather changes. At one point some fairies chant together, but it seemed more as if they were trying to send out good vibes rather than cast a spell. Other potentially problematic themes: Some men are shown drinking at a festival. One guy has a red face and you are to assume he's had too much to drink. * A Little Snow Fairy Sugar is a lighthearted anime about a tiny fairy who wants to do her best. The anime takes place in the real world, where young fairies are sent to learn about themselves before they become full-fledged season fairies. The anime is not action-packed, but it's not thought-provokingly deep, either. I would designate this anime as a breath of fresh air. Yes, a nice breather where you really don't have to worry about content. I will mention that the beginning of the anime took me a little time to get through. However, the more I watched the more I enjoyed watching Sugar, Salt, Pepper, and the rest of the fairies learn and grow throughout the series. |
