Akazukin Cha Cha is an anime TV series which aired around the early to mid 90s and has well over fifty episodes. - Sasami

It really dissapointed me when I saw how repetitious the episodes were. Although all the details of the anime in each episode changed a bit, the episodes in general all followed the following formula: a new monster or enemy is introduced, the monster tries to kill Cha Cha, of course it fails, and during the last five minutes of the show Cha Cha kills it. And as if that's not enough, I would consider this a cheap episode as well. Every time Cha Cha transforms and kills her enemy, the same clip is played. Also, it seems that Cha Cha only knows one offensive move to kill her enemies throughout the whole series. Another down side of Akazukin Cha Cha is the character development. Although I thought the characters possessed really outstanding personalities, their characteristics in one episode contradicted with the other episodes. For example, in episode one, Cha Cha is on a broom flying with her friend, Riiya-kun. Flying with another person on a broom is supposedly called "flying doubles." However, around the third or fourth episode, Cha Cha claims that she cannot fly doubles. Little details and flaws like this lowered the realism of this anime series and made me feel that the characters as well as the whole show was carelessly done.

Overall, even though I was hooked onto this series and kept watching episode after episode because it was so funny, when I finished watching several episodes, I had the feeling that even if I missed out on an episode or two to do something else like play basketball, it really would be worth it. This series did not really make me think or emotionally move me nor was there a really, really signifacant overall storyline. It was more like a bunch pointless comedy shows which are barely even connected. And sooner or later as I had expected, the funnies began to grow repetitious as well and by the thirty-something episode I was barely laughing at all. There was not really anything too spectacular about this episode and therefore I would not suggest this series too many people. Unless you're one of those really, really die-hard magical-girl anime fans, you will probably be disappointed in what you see regardless of how cute the characters may look.
