Re: Mahou no Stage Fancy Lala
I watched DVD1 of Lala... I quite enjoyed what I saw. Still need to watch DVD2 (it's only been on my shelf for nearly 2 years ~_~) and order DVD3-6 (with Bandai's recent price reduction of these disks, there is no reason for me to not have them...).
If you enjoy shows of the mahou shoujo (magical girl) sort, I'd suggest you try this one out. Heck, with the MSRP of the 6 DVDs being 9.95 (or thereabouts) USD, you can't really go wrong. |

The series then gets into a more reflexive type of storytelling. There is more being told than Miho can necessarily grasp at a schoolgirl level of comprehension; the show is not really about Miho's awareness of what is going on around her (or her career), but tells the story of her growing up from a third-person perspective. Not everyone enjoys growing-up stories but many Japanese like them. This is one of the best anime based on this theme, and one of the best mahou shoujo series ever made. |

We had this show locally and also on cable. It's been widely compared to Full Moon wo Sagashite a while back, but Fancy Lala was produced first of course. And just now I discovered that there was a manga counterpart of it which also ran in Ribon.
It's such a nice show, with interesting characters. I liked her older sister Chisa very much, and the few episodes to her credit. Of course I adore Miho/Lala. Unlike Mitsuki/Full Moon (who has too strong a character for her age), she is easily hurt in the smallest of problems. Very child-like. One thing I didn't like about Fancy Lala though are the multiple fillers that have the 'fantasy' theme (Miho going to magical places and have pointless adventures). Thankfully there are only a handful of that. Also, the consistency of the art/animation of the characters are very varied. As usual, this is a Studio Pierrot production.

This anime surprised me by how mature it became towards the end. Sure, it was set up to be so early on but I never paid much attention as I just enjoyed the cute nature of it. By the end though, I realised how wonderfully crafted it was and also how maturely the whole scenario was handled. One of the best of its genre and features in my top 5 animes ever. Highly recommended.

The art and background for the show was pretty good and had an almost nostalgic flavor attached to it... it certainly helped sweep me into the show. Nowadays, it really does make you feel like it was from a forgotten, but truly beautiful age.
