ABOUT:Newspaper Club teammates Yuri and Hinagiku, are hypnitised by the devil Pluie into attacking their friend Momoko. The angle Limone and the Angel World ruler Aphrodite give Momoko a compact case which allows her to transform into the Love Angel named Wedding Peach, so she can save her friends. Momoko, along with several others, must discover their destinies as Love Angels, and use their powers to fight evil, saving the loving hearts of humans from the devils and defeating their leader Raindevila. The show does a great job of taking classically feminine concepts - like romance, weddings, and dresses - and using them to give the girls their strength and power, rather than being a weakness. There is, however, a bit of fanservice, though nothing explicit. STATS:ANIME LANGUAGES: Japanese dub, English sub, English dub LENGTH: 51 Episodes STATUS: Complete MANGA: LANGUAGES: Japanese, English LENGTH: 1 volume STATUS: Complete CONTROVERSY:Wedding Peach was produced nearly 3 years after the first Sailor Moon launch. Because of that, Wedding Peach was often called a rip off Sailor Moon. Many people compared the WP compact to SM's locket, and there are undeniably many similarities in terms of the design and villains. However, the overall story arcs and protagonists' personalities are quite different. Momoko, for example, is far more serious than Usagi, though she's still an airhead. All of the girls are quite a bit more firery than their Sailor Moon counterparts, save for maybe Rei! It can also be argued the animation similarities were due to the time period - many other shows in the early 90s had similar aesthetics, whether due to Sailor Moon's influence or just the technology and trends of the time. WHO SHOULD WATCH IT:This is a fantastic series for a beginner - the arcs are completed, it's not too long, there's a surprisingly good dub, and all the classic Magical Girl tropes are included.
