Short summary : A somewhat asocial guy drinks by mistake a magic potion which transforms him into a sheep plush, and “forcibly” becomes the familiar of a beginner magical girl.

I was mostly looking forward to this show because the original game was designed by Noizi Ito, but sure this show is different of the image I had in mind. Well yeah, I did see all the magical girl thing in the CGs but 1) almost forgot about it cause Nadeshiko (Nako-chan) is mostly what I remembered from them, 2) eroge usually have more… “mature” story ?

Anyway, they did a good job at keeping the original design. As for the interest of the show, well I would say that it’s ok to watch it if you have some free time in your hands. This is mostly a Card Captor Sakura rip-off, and it’s 12 episodes long only, so if you’re not too demanding you can give it a try.

On a random note, I love the main theme that we hear throughout the serie in different versions.

Sumomo the magical girl, and the main character in his plush form. Her mission is to collect 7 star drops with this kind of big spoon. When I said it was a CCS rip-off…

First, you take Tsuruya-san… then, you mix with Nagato… and you have (somewhat) Nadeshiko. Is it… perfection ???
Long green-ish hair and from a rich family like Tsuruya-san, and with a kinda emotionless face like Nagato. As for her personality, she’s calm like Nagato and reliable like Tsuruya-san. She’s also very protective over the crybaby Sumomo, like Tsuruya-san is protective over the crybaby Mikuru. Well all these similarities are coincidental and can be found in lot of other characters though.

Another similar point with CCS : Nadeshiko is totally Tomoyo for Sumomo.

Nona, aka Asparas-san. A nice rival character. I immediately recognized Yuki Matsuoka as her seiyuu because the first thing you hear from Nona is her laughter (Matsuoka is Tsuruya-san’s seiyuu too).

Well the show has some good points that makes it different of CCS too, so that’s still enjoyable to watch.
