More praise for this cute TV animation, 6 December 2001
Author: Carlos Ross (Miwa Satoshi) from Mesa, Arizona, USA

Definitely aimed at children, this pun-laden, but endearing series is an entertaining show which shows what just might happen if all the fairy tale characters of yore went to grade school together.

The misadventures of the witch-in-training Chacha (Little Red Riding Hood), her childhood friend Riiya (a werewolf, or rather, werepuppy), and Riiya's rival for her affections, Shiine-chan (a budding magic-user who *tries* to be debonair) are enjoyable, and if you're not expecting a philosophically heavy series, a wonderful way to spend time, especially with children or young teens in the audience.

The one contrived bit of each episode is Chacha turning into a magical princess to defeat the day's villain (something which was absent from the original comic series). It shouldn't detract terribly from the viewing experience.

All in all, a good series that kids and adults can enjoy together (if you don't mind a bit of a sugary aftertaste).
