Anime: Akazukin Chacha

Highly recommended comedy, in other words if you want a funny anime watch this! A funny anime where you actually laugh possibly even roll on the floor laughing (literally). akazukin cha cha = comedy

My review is all straight 10's, just read my review for the justifications. this anime is a CLASSIC!!!

This is such a fun anime to watch whether you are a kid or an adult, it really works on both levels because of its smart comedy.

I first saw this anime as a kid (6-8 yrs old) and I loved it and now i'm older but I still love it, it's still funny.

I must say it is still funny to this day, surpassing Azumanga Daioh, lovehina, fruits basket, anything on disney channel, etc... (btw I didn't find any of those series funny) by a MILESTONE. you just have to see this anime to believe it. A must-see CLASSIC for comedy fans.

I would say it starts off okay but then builds up into a show you'll relaly look forward to watching, like other users have said you hvae to see a really funny ep before you say it's too childish, etc. Such eps would be 19, 8, 4, 18, 7, 5 , 25, 62 & 61 (once you've seen 6 and 19), and much more. Do not judge this anime by the first ep, it gets MUCH MUCH funnier.

Though there are a few drawbacks in the story, overall I would give it a 10 because of the humor and comedy which shines in almost every ep. One of the funniest animes I've ever seen, this is definitely a classic as far as a comedy and an anime aimed towards kids ( since you don't have to be a kid to enjoy it) .

the animation is simple and its good for 1994. it's drawn in a cute way, cute to this day.

I loved all the effects they did with the animation like the big cute shiny eyes and all those random/wacky/funny exaggerations with the faces. They just did lots of animation effects that were interesting.

I like the opening and closing songs and i love the BMG it just works with the scenes so well.

Also during some eps the characters would sing like cha cha's class or cha cha herself or cha cha/shiine/riiya, I especially love the song that was sang during the doll episode with elizabeth. All the songs are so cute I love it.

The sound effects during comedic moments are just perfect, it is utilized very well. they have a lot of sound effects, bmg and whatnot during "certain" moments so it has a lot of that.

the seiyuus did such a nice job playing kids but the seiyuu for cha cha sounded too deep but anyways I got used to it.

I love all the characters, they are all unique/wacky and interesting and likable. I would say there's 8 main, 3 if you wanna go really main but the top 8 characters are all good.

There are actually many characters that you meet along the way (74 eps) from the teachers to the bad guys, they are all quite interesting and unique and usually add to the humor. although there are so many if you include every single character in the whole anime, almost all are intersting and memorable.

Unlike the new animes they aren't stereotyipcal or cliche or cardboard cut-outs. they are all just fun and i just love all their antics.

Speaking of antics, there is this complex jealousy and love triangleS which is quite entertaining. I still haven't chosen who I wanted to end up with who.

Just lots of lovable/wacky/interseting characters.

I'm especially fond of it since I saw it when I was a kid and then re-watching and enjoying and laughgin hysterically still.

Very funny show, However that pesky princess Hollyup with all that transformation stuff significantly damages every episode. Since all evil characters are not so deadly and more comical than evil it would be more fun to watch how they are defeated without that stupid transformation.
now each episode follows this scenario:
1 Some evil character is asked to defeat Chacha.
2 Everyone plays around messing with magic and usually nearly defeats villain. (that part is the reason to watch this anime)
3 when there is no need and reason almost defeated vilian attacks again, Chacha transforms defeats him with one shoot and after 2 minutes episode ends.
This start to change in the middle of show, when Hollyup gets some chance to fight actualy not just pose and shoot one arrow.

The influence of the magical girl craze did significant damage to this show. The overarcing plotline and the trnasopfrmation into Magical Pricness Holy-Up are not in the manga, and are unsurprisingly the weakest parts of the series.

However, there are so many pleasures to be found here that it can be lived with. When given the chance to be, thios is an extremely funny show. As a satire, it is much cannier at satirizing the shoujo conventions of the "love paralellogram" (the intrigues surrounding ChaCha and her friends) than the conventions of the magical girl genre. In that plot, even the villains are endearing (the unhealthily obsessive Black Ridign Hood Yakko and the vain mermain Marine are hilarious characters). There is also a great "couple-in-denial" dynamic going on in the love/lust/hate relationship between Seravy and Dorothy-chan.

At about Episode 55 or so the magical girl plot is finally discarded and the series improves substantially.
