Sugar Sugar Rune Episode 1
I promised myself I would never ever watch any anime series of this type (i.e. witch-based + school girls transforming into supergirls-style). Oh, the pain involved: Corny transformation sequences and really akward spell names. But here I am blogging about Sugar Sugar Rune. I’ve failed myself, haven’t I?
Don’t take me wrong. I’ve watch witch-based anime. Take Mahou Shoujo Tai - a relatively undiscovered gem. Read PSGels’ summary of Mahou Shoujo Tai’s 36th episode at Star Crossed, which echo exactly my sentiments. I’ve watched school girls transforming into supergirls-style anime too, with Pretear and Pretty Cure as examples. But Sugar Sugar Rune brings these genres to new “heights”.
The series begins with an introduction of our cast, with the main characters being the two witches Chocolat and Vanilla (hmm…). Both have been selected as Queen Candidates and are tasked with collecting “hearts” in the human world. The one with the most hearts will thus become the new Queen.
Now, what are “hearts” you might ask? Well, these are the elusive crystals that can be collected by witches from humans who are either surprised or in love with the witches in question. So it seems that the “goal” of our dear witches is to make as many people in love with them as possible.
After the girls are sent to the Human World, Rockin’ Robin - a veteran guy witch (not sure what they are called in the series yet) - welcomes the girls and later, shows off his talent in collecting hearts (especially from females) at the school where both of the girls are posted to. But the most monumental scene in the episode was when Chocolat realised that the Human World was the opposite of the Magic World. While we value politeness in the human world (i.e. Vanilla-style), witches in the Magic World made great friends if they were nasty and scary (i.e. Chocolat-style). That’s different all right.
To make things clear, the guy in the screenshot above is a character introduced at the final parts of the first episode (not Rockin’ Robin). He’s the standard mysterious, handsome, classy and super-egoistic guy. We know nothing about him yet, but I have a funny feeling he’s the bad guy or something like that.
So, the story does seem to be original to some extent (to the credit of the anime creators). But, did I tell you that you use a heart-shaped “heart-holder” to store your hearts and that the number of hearts collected at the end of each episode are weighed and calculated? Oh yeah, at the end of episode 1, Chocolat scores with 1 yellow heart (a.k.a. “piss” and trust me, I didn’t come up with this) while Vanilla ends up with 0 hearts. Moreover, there isn’t even any moral to the “story” (well, most of these type of series have them).
Since I’m the type that completely watches any anime I start, no matter how bad it gets, I’ll probably finish this one too (if it gets completely subbed that is). Arghh, so far, it just seems as if I never blog anything good. (Note to myself: Is this why no one else blogs about Sugar Sugar Rune and Itsudatte My Santa?) It’s either that, or I’m a real pessimist.

i wish i could watch sugar sugar rune at internet with sounds or dialogs. adikted talaga ako d to. yung ibang episode kasi hindi ko mapanood dahil may pasok at friday lang ako pinapanood ng mama ko kasi kailangan ko pang mag-aral. sinuswerte lang ako kapag naalis mama ko at kapag walang pasok na wala ding homework. gusto ko ding magkaroon ng mga gamit noon, halos lahat ng gamit ko. sana ulit ulitin nila to sa tv at hindi nila to palitan ng iba. kahit kailan hindi din magbabago ang tingin ko dito sa sugar sugar rune. wala na akong papanooring iba kung hindi ito lang. kahit hindi ko na mapanood ang ibang paborito kong palabas. ito ang una sa mga paborito kong palabas. kahit ulit-ulitin ko ito hindi parin ako magsasawa. magwawala o magtatampo ako kung hindi ko to mapapanood. sana mapanood ko din ito ng tagalog version. sana totoong tao sila at kahit totoong tao na sila sana ganoon parin ang itsura nila o kaya sana kartoon din ako parang magical world yung pwede din ako bumalik dito sa totoong mundo natin. ito lang talaga ang importante sa buhay ko. parang yung kaklase ko na hindi daw siya mabubuhay kapag wala ang picture ni Gerard way, ako naman hindi mabubuhay kapag hindi ko to mapapanood. ano kaya ang friendster, yahoo messenger, at website nito? kung meron lang kaming printer at lahat ng libro nito palagi na ako magbabasa o mahihilig ako sa pagbabasa. palagi ko din titignan ang picture nito na mapriprint ko at kung may libro ako titignan ko palagi ang picture na nasa libro. pagnatapos ko nang basahin yung libro na gusto kong bilhin uulitin ko ulit ito. pero kung may pera lang ako at kung makakabili ako siguro bumili na ako ngayon. sana yung naipon ko na lang ang ipangbibili ko pero para sa kinabukasan ko iyon.sayang naman. gusto kong magkaroon ng alkansya ulit pero wala pangalang pera si mama. hay sayang naman hindi mangyayari ang kaisa-isahang kong pangarap. hindi ko matanggap. siguro naman mamgyayari lang to kapag malaki na ako?
