Sugary cute! This is a sweet anime about a tiny snow fairy named Sugar, and her human friend Saga. In their world, there are 'season fairies' who control weather and various other natural elements, but humans normally don't see them or know of their existence. But the female lead Saga sees them, and chanced upon an apprentice snow fairy named Sugar. Their story together starts from here, as they live together and be friends despite their differences. The main theme here is indeed growing up together in happiness and sadness, and this feeling lingers on during the entire length of the series.

The series is a visual masterpiece. Colors are of abundance, and backgrounds mix well with the excellent art and animation of the characters, especially the cute fairies. The anime is meant for a younger audience, but everyone can enjoy the show. There is no complex plot or major issues to think about here, it's a simple slice of life. Though it features magic and fairies, every character is exceptionally human. I can really say there is nothing wrong with this series, although some people would find it boring and uninteresting. It's all a matter of taste actually. As for me, Chitchana Yukitsukai Sugar is definitely heartwarming. If you would like to be entertained without your harsh demands for excellence in anime, then watch this anime.

Happiness is all relative, what we find heart warming may be what causes another to break down, and as this series teaches, happiness rarely lies in the destination but in the journey. There is a vast array of characters all with their individual quirks, so in opposition to this it has a simple storyline, a young apprentice snow fairy named Sugar is trying to become a full fledged snow fairy, to do so she must enter the human world and search for the Kirameki, of course each apprentice season fairy has a different conception of what the Kirameki actually is, and so has no real idea in what form it is, making it hard to search for. Saga, a human who has the rare ability to see season fairies, stumbles across Sugar in a bad state and offers her some help, though quite reluctantly and series goes from there. Understandably with such a simple premise, and with it obviously being a series made for kids, you wouldn't come to expect much from this, but it teaches quiet lessons, the atmosphere is created, a fickle undemanding happy one, with a quiet unassuming story which moves without any particular pace and with only the smallest of goals seeming to give it reason and intent, it is not an easy feat to create something like this, understandably not all people will like it, lacking in action and complex storyline, it offers only a soft happiness, how you interpret this happiness as indicated before is up to you.

This is a kids show, and a happy one at that. This is simply about a girl who discovers how to have fun and enjoy her life more, thanks to the aforementioned Snow Fairy. The show is extremely cute, but the characters are well developed and despite the fact that Sugar is rather innocent, stupid, and clumsy she never really gets on one’s nerves *cough* Pita-Ten *cough*. The Saga character is rather well developed, with the side characters being rather less so. One surprising thing is that one of the characters you’d expect to be the LEAST developed is actually a lot more complex than she appears to be. The stories are rather episodic, though they do tie into each other somewhat. This show is just fun to watch.

Sugar is an apprentice snow fairy learning to become a full fledged snow fairy in the human world. She hangs around with Saga, who seems to be the only human who can see the snow fairies. At first she annoys Saga a lot with her childish antics, but as the series progresses both Sugar and Saga grow, experiencing both sadness and joy.

Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar is a wonderfully entertaining show, featuring conceptual character designs by Koge Donbo (DiGi Charat, PitaTen). While primarily a cheerful and cute show, it adds enough melodrama and sad moments, which lead to plenty of heartwarming scenes. There is a plethora of amusing characters, pretty backgrounds, and a truly lovely soundtrack. For those who want to laugh and cry, and do not suffer a distaste for sugary cuteness, look no further.
