Being a big fan of anime ( I find them to be one of the few oasis of enthusiasm and joy in life )I was looking forward to "Wedding Peach". Sure, when I first heard its title I almost chuckled, but the reputation of this anime was huge so I wanted to give it a try. Somehow, it never worked fully for me. This anime had nice songs, animation, characters, but not that special charm that I anticipated for a "magical girl" show.The story follows Momoko, a young girl with purple hair. Her mother died and she lives with her father. Her best friends are Yuri and Hinagiku whom often go to school with her. They are all in love with a boy called Kazuya who plays soccer and that's why they sometimes fight. But one day Momoko is attacked by an demon man who wants to steal her ring and soon given special powers from a higher being called Aphrodite. Thanks to that, Momoko transforms into Wedding Peach and starts fighting with demons. Yuri and Hinagiku join her by transforming into Angel Lily and Daisy. In order to save the world and bring love to everyone, they must defeat Devila, and they do. ----------------------Momoko's hair was purple. Hinagiku's was green. Their "fighting" skirts looked like wedding dresses. And to top it all they soon got a small pet "demon" called Jamapi that decided to be their sidekick. This kind of trashy details ruined any higher ambitions. Still, "Wedding Peach" is a good anime and I loved the pilot episode. In it Momoko had a wedding dress on and was looking herself in the mirror. But then her father saw her before going to work and she got all embarrassed. But just as he left Yuri and Hinagiku appeared and saw her too, causing her again to blush. Yuri even said; "What is this sight trying to tell us?" Also, we got to find out how strong their friendship is: the three of them bought ice creams with different flavors and decided to share a bite with each other. Friendship is something Japan appreciates more than America. Just look at shows like "Friends": there the characters offend each other in such a mean and cynical way that you may wonder if the show should be called "Enemies". But not here in animes like "Wedding Peach". The characters are so devoted to each other and are not ashamed of emotions that you just have to find them cute. And the humor is warm. If at least there was one magnificent moment here, , I would have given "Wedding Peach" a higher grade.Grade: 6/10
