Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Joel I'll admit. I didn't see much in this series when first heard about it; of course, after they showed the first episode on the Anime Network, I saw the synopsis and was drawn in.Many would argue (including me) that this has an eerie resemblance to another great bishojo anime, Sailor Moon; That being said, it doesn't mean that it's a bad series.Momoko and her friends aren't too far from the aforementioned anime in that they both have a male counterpart to assist them against their foes, they both have a universe that traces back to different worlds, (The Angel world reminds me of the Moon Kingdom.) and as far as I'm concerned, through this series, I think every one of us could learn a thing or two about the power of love and enduring friendship. Despite the obvious mirroring of these series, Wedding Peach is definitely a must-watch anime.
Timothy McKann Series Chapter: When I first watched the preview of this anime on my Pretear DVD,I gotta say that this is one of the best anime since Sailor Moon. It was so great, I really had to see it,and I did. I bought the first 2 volumes of this show after Christmas,and the others later. I think the show has a good storyline,and it was just like Sailor Moon. Like for example: The Angel world is just like the Moon Kingdom,and the Devil World is just like the Negaverse. Another example: the characters.I think the character Momoko is just like Serena from Sailor Moon. They do have funny names that the guys call them like Yousuke calling Momoko, Momopi. And Darien in Sailor Moon, calling Serena, Meatball head. Another thing that's cool is the transforming part. Momoko's Saint Miroir is just like Serena's Moon Locket. They say different magic spells to transform,and have different catchphrases. And also the attacks they have are like the same. And of course,an ally always come to help. The Angel Limone is just like Tuxedo mask, they always show up to help the other who is in danger.. What this series tells us is that love is an important thing in life. We all have to love each other,and always have friends to look after. DX chapter: Wne I first watched this preview on my final volume of Wedding Peach, I gotta say that this Chapter has gotten a whole lot better. The first chapter was cool,but this one is a whole lot better. The love angel's outfits were a lot cooler than the first chapter, and their attacks were a lot different and very powerful like the last chapter.So in closing,if you like this show. Then this is the one series to collect. You will see what I mean!
IkuharaKunihiko Being a big fan of anime, 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. It had nice colors, songs, art design, 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 get into arguments. But one day, after she is attacked by a demon-man who wants to steal her ring, Momoko is soon given special powers from a higher being called Aphrodite. Thanks to that, Momoko transforms into Wedding Peach and starts fighting 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... --------------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. The theme of friendship is something appreciated in many animes. The characters are so devoted to each other and are not ashamed of emotions that you just have to find them cute. Unfortunately, I found that the series never managed to re-gain the heights and charm of the excellent pilot. It was good, but never completely harmonious as a whole. If at least there was one magnificent moment here that reached the "Sailor Moon" greatness (like in episode 34, "The Sparkling Silver Crystal! The Moon Princess Appears", where Usagi's tear miraculously transforms into the Silver Crystal), I would have given "Wedding Peach" a higher grade.Grade: 6/10
vkn Momoko, Yuri and Hinagiku are three young girls slightly obsessed with the idea of a happy marriage. One day, they are given magical powers to transform into the fabled Love Angels Peach, Lily and Daisy (a fourth angel named Salvia later joins them) in order to fight against demons plotting to overrun the world and stamp out love and gentleness altogether. That, in a nutshell is the plot set-up for what seems like a very typical magical girls anime series.One major criticism Wedding Peach often receives is that it very blatantly borrows plot elements from Sailor Moon. This is actually quite true. Of course, since both series fall into the same magical girls genre, there are bound to be similiarities, (in the same way that every SF movie has spaceships and lasers) but a trained eye can tell when Wedding Peach is deliberately copying it's main rival. The way Momoko and Yousuke constantly argue is very similiar to how Usagi and Mamoru didn't get along at all in the early days of Sailor Moon. The angel Limone's penchant for arriving at the very last minute to help our heroines out is an obvious nod to Tuxedo Kamen, and the at first difficult co-operation with the more mature Salvia reminds one of Sailors Neptune and Uranus quite distinctly. But if they're able to forgive this lack of plot originality, fans of magical girl series and cute, fluffy anime in general might very well enjoy this series a lot. For Wedding Peach doesn't really need an innovative plot. The series works to a formula, and the viewer knows it. A standard episode has the girls fussing a bit over some event of everyday life (usually involving the favors of their love interests) while the villains plot a nasty and often slightly daft scheme. They eventually attack with a monster-of-the-week henchman, the girls transform and go into battle, win in the end, and all is well with the world. Bar a few episodes that actually further the story and bring the girls closer to their final goal, the standard formula is maintained. And it's actually handled very well. Wedding Peach uses all the typical, tried-and-tested elements of the genre and adds a large extra helping of colourful kitsch.The animation quality is admirable for a standard TV series budget, with rich colors and great attention to detail on the glossy character designs. The music is pleasingly cute and boppy, with addictive songs thrown in. And everything else you'd want from a magical girls series is delivered by the bucketload; there are lots of elaborate and flashy transformation scenes, chucklesome comical moments (complete with some SD scenes sprinkled about), dewy-eyed teenage romance scenarios, absolutely silly monsters and über-villains who really steal the show with their downright funky hairdos and costumes (I'm particularly fond of Igunis). As an added bonus, the two sexy male leads spend most of their time in skimpy running shorts. Hurrah for some blatant exploitation of male skin-showing.So yes, it's all standard magical girls fare, and yes, it -is- fluffy, commercial and very daft. Note, for instance, that the girls first wear elaborate wedding dresses when they transform (and actually attempt to fight in them), which later "power up" to more Sailor Moon-style battle costumes. But for fans of the genre, who know what they‘re in for, it's a real delight. As such, the only real complaint I have about the series is that the battle scenes sometimes become nothing but successions of the girl's transform and attack sequences, with very little else in between. But even then, a good magical girl transform scene never gets -really- boring. Wedding Peach's attitude towards love and romance will perhaps strike a casual viewer as very cheesy. No shojo anime series is complete without big dashes of romance, usually of the dreamy and idealist variety. And indeed, in the Wedding Peach world, your crush on the boy next door materialises in lifelong bliss after you've married him and married people are still hopelessly in love with each other after several decades (and they never age beyond 30, by the looks of it). It may be very naive, but it's also sweet and inoffensive, and certainly wins my sympathy more easily than the typically Hollywoodian concept of "romance" where Macho Man and Plastic Girl indulge in gratuitous porn scenes for no reason at all (which, in it's own way is also naive and entirely unconnected with real life, unless Americans -really- are like that). At least Wedding Peach's concept of love stories offers a pleasant escape from the rough real world and allows for one's hopeless romantic side to find some peace of mind. Sugary and naive as some of the emotional scenes may be, they do manage to be genuinely touching in places, such as the second episode, where a bride gradually remembers the first meetings with her husband and thus shakes off the demon that possessed her, or the hesitant first date of a shy couple in episode 27. It's simple, idealistic and usually very cute.Like everything else, the emotional scenes work best with an audience that's used to shojo and magical girl series and knows what to expect. Those who turn up their noses at the merest hint of a pink heart should obviously stay away. But if one is prepared to let their sense of reality go a little and believe in Wedding Peach's optimist message that love triumphs over everything (almost literally, as an energy called "love waves" is the main form of attack for the angels), the suspension of disbelief works and the series offers a nice and beautifully animated bit of dreamy entertainment. Basically, if you liked Sailor Moon and Pretty Sammy, you should also have a very good time watching Wedding Peach.
