| MAL link! Since we had a thread about Jewelpets, I figured we needed a thread about its predecessor! Onegai My Melody aired on the same timeslot as Jewelpets, and was also made by Sanrio. My boyfriend and I watched a bit of this last year, mainly because I wanted to see Kuromi in action. We weren't really expecting much, but it actually turned out to be really good! Despite being the villain, Kuromi was by far my favorite character. She was just so goofy, and not to mention, freaking adorable, that I found it impossible to hate her. It's a good thing, too, because one of the interesting things about this anime is that My Melo doesn't always win at the end of every episode. So, if we're going to have the villain win sometimes, at least it's a completely lovable villain. So, the question is, is this series magical girl or not? I've seen people on Tumblr consider it such, but I don't know what the general consensus is. Honestly, I would have to say it is MG -- it does indeed feature a girl using magic to help people; it's just that the girl is a bunny. There are several seasons after the first, which is the one I watched... However, I'm not sure if all of them are subbed. I was only able to find the first season on YouTube. I would love to see the last season, Kirara, though -- that one I hear is a prequel to the rest of the show that takes place almost entirely in Mari Land. Oh and also, the first season has one of the catchiest opening songs in existence. I still find myself singing it. Link~ |

| I haven't seen much of Onegai My Melody (which, is weird since MyMelo is my favorite Sanrio character)
I think of it as magical girl. I mean, My Melody is the magical girl - but Uta usually is the one the magic affects and a lot of the show is dependent on her actions. So there's kindof a partnership in who the protagonist is. |
