Magical and Romantic

When I first saw an ad of this anime in a magazine. I have to say,that this series could be something new to me,and it was. But when I bought the first 2 volumes of this show on DVD,and the others later,I was right about this show. It was the best. It was the most romantic anime to see. My favorite character in this series are:The Mystery Man,Lala,and Hiroya Aikawa. I know that Lala has what it take to be a star.All she has to do is work hard and believe in herself. What this show tells us that dreams are the most important thing in life. We can all have a dream like Lala and Miho. They have a goal of what they want to be when they grow up.Lala's dream to become a pop star,and Miho's dream is to become a cartoonist. Another thing I liked in the show was the song "Transperence", I have to say that Lala really has what it takes to performs that song. The song is very inspiring,and beautiful. I do feel really bad in the end when Miho loses the Pen and Sketchbook,and the Dinosaur fairies going away after trying to create her another Pen and Sketchbook. The show was simply the best and truly amazing. So in closing,if you want to see someone good,and great for the family. Then this is the one anime to see. You will see what I mean.
