Pretear Series
Tagged under Hal Film Maker, Series.
Himeno Awayuki was having trouble adjusting to her new life after her father remarried. She had gone from a life of
poverty (her father being a classic example of the "starving author") to one of extreme luxury (her father married an
extremely wealthy widower.) She's not used to phalanxes of servents and butlers, and her new family don't make it easy
for her -- her stepmother harps on Himeno's (perceived) character flaws, her older stepsister constanly plays pranks on
her, and her younger stepsister completely ignores her.
As she heads to school (late, as the driver has left
without her) she runs into a strange young man. When they accidentally touch hands, sparks fly, literally. Disturbed,
Himeno escapes to school, only to run into the young man (and 6 of his companions) later. They call themselves the "Leaf
Knights", each wielding a different power (wind, water, ice, fire, light, plants, sound) that they use to fight Saihi
(the queen of destruction) and her minions (the seeds of destruction.) They call Himeno the "Pretear", a person who can
"pret" (blend) with the knights in order to wield their power.
As Himeno learns more about the Knights and their
duty, she is swept into their battles, and before long is glad of their friendly company. But the Knights are holding a
dark secret of their own. For Himeno is not the only Pretear they have served, and even the Pretear is not immune to the
effects of Saihi.

Cagalli88's Pretear Tv Review
Rated:
One thing about this anime is the hilarious Tanaka voiced by the ever so talanted Koyasu Takehito!! He is short, middle-bald and seemed to know the 'park' that the Awayuki family have. Noy exactly 'park' but more to a jungle. They have bears, crocodile, extinct birds and whats WEIRD is that these animals adore Tanaka!! Their signs of affection includes; biting his bald shining head. Koyasu's voice is so coical!
There were several sad moments especially the episode whereby Hayate finally revealed his feelings for Himeno**spoilers** It is just so touching! The final episode whereby **spoiler** Himeno managed to become Pretear herself witout MERGINNG with the kinghts will make you go, "HAAAA!! Sugoi!!"
In terms of enjoyability, i'll rate it 3/5.

A very cute retelling of Snow White, the manga of Pretear was adorable and kid-friendly. Sadly, with the anime they made it less kid-friendly and made some changes that really hurt the series for me. Still cute and fun though.

Manga/Anime
they complete each other. both are cute with good eye-candy and beautiful artwork. what the manga doesn't have, the
anime does, and vise verse. story/plot is different towards the end for the anime and manga, but each is good in its own
right.
Um, I was actually expecting more romance from this show. Although I did enjoyed the triangle between a lot of the characters. The ending was ok but I was at least expecting a little more. The many bishounen was a plus, and I also liked the fact that in order for her to obtain power - they had to combine theirs to hers - that was cool.
DarkKitty69 rated 6.25:Kind of like Sailormoon, although I wish more could of happened between the heroine and the hero. Didn't like the ending too much. But. if you like magic girls, with a hint of romance (not too much, just hinting at it), then this show is for you. Not to mention all the bishounen will keep you watching.
nel-tu-animoke rated 10.00:Oh, this is my new favorite! *.* I like it very-very much! :D The opening reminds me of winter (what is my favorite season, of course), the characters are all adorable, and the theory or what, about the leaf... Amazing anime, you MUST watch it! :D
