Synopsis

Chacha is a cheerful girl who spends most of her days practicing magic under her teacher Seravi, hoping to become as skilled as he is. Though Chacha is enthusiastic, her tendency to make unfortunate puns out of her magic chants leaves her teacher wondering if she is ready for magic school. Deciding that there is no better time, Seravi gifts Chacha the Princess Medallion, allowing her to transform into a magical princess capable of defeating even the fiercest opponents.

Together with her best friends Riiya, a werewolf boy, and Shiine, an apprentice of Seravi's old rival, Dorothy, Chacha sets out to defend the world from sinister forces. However, between the Great Evil Lord plotting against them, Riiya and Shiine's rivalry to win Chacha's affection, as well as Seravi and Dorothy's complicated relationship, Chacha struggles to find balance between fighting evil forces and mending relationships in her everyday life. Though obstacles continue to come her way, Chacha is determined to overcome any problem she faces with love, courage, and hope by her side.

One of my favorite anime! Riiya was my childhood crush haha. This story is very diverse and about the adventures of Chacha and her friends. It's cute, comedic and has romance! If you like watching magical transformations you would enjoy this one. Chacha when transformed turns into an adult version of herself. All the characters are diverse in personality and each episode brings something new. The setting is in a magical world where anything is possible.


The opening is one of my favorites as well, it's nostalgic. I love the classic old shoujo art style, it's not over the top.

one of my favorite series ever
Watched season 1 and 2, didn't watch 3 as the first episode indicated to me it's more of a dragging of the series that has already ended in season 2.

If you like this, you would enjoy also goldfish warning, kodocha and the first fruits basket anime series.
if you like the character designs of ...

This was the very FIRST Anime I ever saw! ^_^

I'll never forget it, it came on every day on Cartoon Network, IN ENGLISH DUB (If you can believe that)

The characters are unique! Like for instance, there is a teacher with a whip who will whip the kids if they are bad or mess up (It's not sad, it's done in a comical way).

The story is pretty unique, but isn't the greatest; but it's a lot better than the Manga (Both versions differ in story, yet the Anime adaptation takes place at a school of magic! ^_^)

The theme song is unforgettable!

And the art is great (For ...
