qnuy wrote:What is <Akazukin Cha CHa>?
Here is the synopsis of the anime :mrgreen:
CHACHA is the story of a young witch, ChaCha, who lives with her master Seravi on Mt. Mochimochi. She is young and impressionable, and not the brightest of students. In addition, her magic never seems to work quite right.
.....Seravi is not without his own quirks. He carries around a doll named Elizabeth that he talks to. She talks back to him (via Seravi's ventriloquism), often issuing comments that are too nasty (and funny) for Seravi to say directly. On a rival mountain lives Dorothy, whom Seravi used to love. But, according to Seravi, she got mean and her hair turned red, so now Seravi spends most of his time putting her down--usually through Elizabeth--which only makes Dorothy madder.
.....The other two main characters include Riiya, a werewolf who comes from a family of giants and is very strong; and Shiine, a young wizard apprenticed to Dorothy. Riiya and Shiine-chan (as he prefers to be called) both have feelings for ChaCha and tend to bicker a lot. ChaCha, meanwhile, is totally unaware of their feelings for her.
.....Other characters include: Black-hooded Yakko, who is ChaCha's self-proclaimed rival because she is in love with Seravi and can't stand the fact that Chacha lives with him; Marin the mermaid, who has a crush on Riiya but doesn't know that he turns into a wolf cub, so she is often confused; and Orin, the ninja who quietly develops a crush on Shiine.
.....They all attend the magical school, and most of them are in Class Banana, with the whip-wielding high-strung Rascal Sensei as their teacher. The school is run by--or perhaps continues to run in spite of--Urara Encho, the ditzy principal who is always wandering around singing to herself. (This character is voiced by Shimamoto Sumi, the same woman who gave Kyoko and Nausicaa voices.) In a bizarre turn of events, she is one of the most powerful characters in the show. In one episode, with just a few slaps of her dainty hand she made short work of a monster that had ransacked the school and terrorized her students.
The Characters
Akazukin Cha Cha
Cha cha is a very cute, little magician girl who is still learning how to use magic from her teacher Seravi. She has blonde hair, and is always wearing a red riding hood. Chacha goes to a magician's school, Urara Gakuen, and is in banana gumi (banana class). She still can't use magic very well, and messes up a lot. Chacha likes Riiya, although she treats him like her pet sometimes. Chacha can ride her broom through the air, but she can only ride by herself. When someone rides with her (even if it is Riiya in his wolf form), she usually spins and wipes out.
When there is trouble, Chacha can transform into the Magical Princess Holy Up. (This transformation does not exist in the manga.) For this transformation, Chacha was given a pendant princess medallion, a ring, and a bracelet from Seravi. She needs two close friends to help her with the transformation. So Chacha uses the pendant, Riiya uses the bracelet, and Shiine uses the ring to trigger the transformation.
The Princess has a magic bow and arrow that she shoots to defeat the bad guys. She says, "Beauty Serein Arrow.. Magical Shoot!" as she fires the arrow. Later, Chacha goes on a quest to find the other magical items (weapons), because her arrow wasn't strong enough for the stronger bad guys. The ability of the Magical Princess is not only to use the three items, but also to use the power of the people who trust her, such as Riiya, Shiine, Seravi, Dorothy, Yakko, Marin, and Orin. These people along with Chacha are called the 8 Paladins of love and courage.
RIIYA (
KATORI SHINGO)
Riiya is a little wolf boy, who can turn himself into a little white wolf whenever he wants to, even without the moon. He has blue hair, and wears a T-shirt. Riiya likes Chacha and hates Seravi. He goes to the same school as Chacha, and he is always hungry and eats a lot. (this character seems similar with Shingo huh?? :mrgreen: )
Whenever Riiya wants to attack something, he turns into the little white wolf. Then just as he leaps towards the opponent, Chacha yells, "Wai, Riiya kawaii!" [Wow, Riiya you're so cute] and hugs Riiya.
SHIINE
Shiine is a little boy magician who is learning magic from Dorothy. He has brown hair, and wears a robe-like outfit. He fell in love with Chacha at first sight. Shiine also goes to the same school as Chacha.
Shiine was jealous of Chacha hugging Riiya, so he turned himself into a little mouse. But since Chacha was afraid of mice, she and Riiya pounded Shiine.
SERAVI
Seravi is the world's strongest magician, and also Chacha's teacher. He is tall and has blue/green hair. He lives in a little house in Mochi Mochi Mountain. Seravi graduated from Urara Gakuen.
Seravi usually carries around his little doll, called Elizabeth. In the past, Seravi was a knight at the king's castle. However when the Daimaou came, he carried baby Chacha and escaped.
DOROTHY
Dorothy is a strong magician, who is around Seravi's age. She has long red hair, and lives in Urizuri Mountain. Dorothy hates Seravi, and wants him dead so she can be the strongest magician. She graduated from Urara Gakuen with Seravi.
Dorothy's family was very, very rich. But according to Dorothy's younger brother Doris, Dorothy left home when she was younger saying that she was going to be the strongest magician in the world.
YAKKO
Yakko is a cute little magician girl who is in the magician school. She has purple hair and wears a black riding hood. Yakko loves Seravi and wants to marry him.
Yakko's specialty is to make strange medicines with her magic. But most of the time, she messes up and uses the wrong bottle, which cause more problems than it solves.
MARIN
Marin is a pretty and cute mermaid girl who fell in love with Riiya. She has hot pink hair. But she still doesn't know that Riiya was a wolf boy and can transform.
When Marin goes on land and becomes dry, her fins turn into legs. Marin is a very selfish girl, and will go all out to get Riiya. Marin goes to Urara Gakuen, and is in ringo gumi (apple class).
ORIN-CHAN
Orin is a shy, little ninja girl who fell in love with Shiine. Orin is in the same class as Chacha at Urara Gakuen
RASCAL TEACHER
Rascal Teacher is the teacher of Chacha's class, who had long hair. He always carries a long whip and says that he will whip the ones who screw up. But Rascal is actually a very kind hearted teacher.
