![]() Considering the ages of the characters, I was not initially all that optimistic about a story that myself, a twenty-something adult could relate that much to. What was maybe the most surprising to me was the depth of the romance and relationships part of the story. There is a lot of pretty good magical action and surprises along the way. The story moves along nicely early on, introducing us to the world and the characters while explaining origins and back story. Amu becomes friends with others who have guardian characters and begins to battle against the evil organization called Easter, to protect everyone’s heart egg and find the mysterious one known as the embryo. We soon find out that everyone has these eggs in their hearts as a representation of their hopes and dreams for the future. These eggs soon hatch revealing her Shugo Chara, or Guardian Characters. Our heroine, Amu Hinamori, finds herself thrust into a magical world she never realized was around her until she wakes up one morning with three eggs in her bed. If you’ve seen a series such as Sailor Moon, then you’re going to find a lot of similarities. The plot is very much typical of a Mahou Shoujo series. haven’t seen before, it just feels like an original idea. While the premise of the story is nothing that we I found this series to be a breath of fresh air. Shugo Chara! takes those stereotypes and blows them up completely, and leaves us with one of the most wonderful and enjoyable anime experiences ever. Couple this together with overly long and usually indecent (given the ages of the characters) transformation scenes and stupid inane plots that make watching children's programming with your kids seem smart by comparison. The Mahou Shoujo genre is all too often populated with casts of sweet, brightly animated lolis who are surrounded by perverted adults and magical animals. As someone who has multiple Characters, Amu is roped into being the Guardians' "Joker," tasked with helping them find X Eggs-corrupted versions of one's Hearts Egg.Īs she becomes entangled in the Guardians' quest, Amu begins to uncover more about these mysterious Characters, the X Eggs, and the organization that seems to be at the center of it all. ![]() The sudden appearance of Amu's Guardian Characters prompts the Seiyo Elementary Guardians, a student council-like group with each member possessing their own Guardian Character, to take notice of her. However, things do not always pan out in her favor. With the aid of Ran, Miki, and Su, Amu now finds herself able to express who she truly is. Each of these "Hearts Eggs" houses a "Guardian Character"-manifestations of someone's would-be self and their dreams. Wishing that she could show everyone her "would-be" self, Amu wakes up to the presence of three colorful and ornately decorated eggs in her bed. Amu Hinamori is a shy girl who struggles to make friends in part due to the rumors spread around school about her "cool and spicy" personality. ![]()
