I… love… Jewelpet. ;_;

It’s a franchise of Sanrio’s that isn’t widely recognized yet, since nothing of it has been licensed in the US yet. So, that makes finding merchandise and toys for it a little hard, but BonBonBunny’s here to help you out!

But it has three four anime series and tons of plushes and stationery and stuff. ♥ If you want to look for the anime, start with Jewelpet Twinkle, it’s one of my most favoritest things ever. ; 3; It’s just such a sweet and adorable magical girl series.

Jewelpet Stationery Set – 120 Pages & 4 Designs

Item number one in our feature today is this little set of cute stationery papers. ♥

What you’ll notice immediately about Jewelpet is that there are tons and tons of adorable characters, and the other thing is that they all stick to a colorful pastel color scheme.

ADORABLENESS + PASTEL COLORS = PURE BLISS????

Jewelpet Plush Sparkling Ribbon Angela the Alpaca

Angela is one of the more popular mascot characters, which isn’t surprising considering the alpaca craze that’s taken the kawaii demographic by storm! Plus, she’s so fluffy and pink. ; 3;

There are really sooooo many plushes available… because there are SO. MANY. CHARACTERS. There’s no way I could list them all. @_@

Jewelpet Sprial-Bound Memo Pad

I am constantly writing little notes to myself… I’d love to have a little memo pad like this to keep track of everything with. ; 3;

The pages inside have such cute designs on them. ♥

Jewelpet 3D Deco Parts

I can’t make out if these are stickers or not, but it looks like they’re little embellishments you can affix to any items you’d like to decorate. ♥ The sample images there have them stuck on the corners of compact mirrors and stationery.

Jewelpet Opal Unicorn Stationery Letter Set

Opal is another of my favorite characters. ; 3; She’s a pretty pony!! *o* Well, a unicorn… pegasus… LOOK AT HOW CUTE SHE IS WUAH.

Can’t you just imagine writing little notes to your friends on paper like this~?

Licca-chan is a noteworthy icon in Japanese youth culture – she’s essentially as popular over there as Barbie is here.

When I see Licca dolls, I see her cute little face ; 3; pretty hairstyles ; 3;~ and REALLY CUTE OUTFITS ;O;~~

Licca-chan Cinderella Doll + DVD

SOOO PIIIINK

I wonder if that wand really has magical properties……. *o*

… ._.

In any case, you get a cute little animated short on DVD along with this doll. LOOK AT HOW PRECIOUS THE ART IS.

Licca-chan Pet Shop Clerk

That uniform is sooooo CUTE!!

There’s a whole huge line of this pet store collection… you can get a playset of the pet shop itself, and there are tons of little sets of cute puppies and kitties you can get as accessories, too!

Licca-chan Doll & Dresses Set

A super sweet gift set with three different dresses. ♥

That pink one she’s wearing is the one you usually see in illustrations of her on the official Licca-chan site and stuff.

Licca-chan Color-change Pink Polka Dot to White Dress

This pink polka dot dress is so cute, I was all set to share it before I even knew that IT CAN CHANGE COLORS!!

The description for it says it turns white when it gets warm. That might mean it changes outside in the sunlight, or maybe if you just warm it in your hands for a while.

The outfit is totes adorable either way.

Licca-chan Sweet Check Dress Doll

Aww look at that little sweetie. ;~;

I think I’m totally living vicariously through these dolls…

I would love to have all of her outfits for myself…

You guys. ;_;

I loooooove the Disney Fairies line… like, maybe more than Princesses. The movies are just REALLY pretty and the characters are so cuuuuuute.

When I set out to do this post I tried to find some of the other fairies besides Tinker Bell to feature, but I wanted to stick to the Disney Store’s site and they don’t seem to list toys or anything for anyone besides Tinker Bell. I’ll revisit this theme again though and feature some of the other characters, for sure. n_n

POP! Tinker Bell Tee

Aww cuute!!

This is in girls’ sizes unfortunately, but I can get away with buying kids’ clothes in the largest size and can fit into them. n_n;

The doodles and designs on this are SO CUTE. Look at that pudgy little Tink, d’aawww.

Disney Fairies Tinker Bell Doll

This is really pretty. oAo Look at those wings!

There’s nothing saying this doll is meant for display as opposed to being a toy, but honestly it’s so pretty that I would just have to display it on a shelf~

Disney Fairies Tinker Bell Wings

And if you’re in the mood to don some pretty, glittery fairy wings and go running around the neighborhood, you can do that, too!

Tinker Bell Figurine Fashion Play Set

Oh wow there are SOOOO many little accessories packed in there!! @_@

I’m counting five cute dresses in there, plus her little main green one. That’s a pretty nice variety.

I UM… I LIKE THE RUFFLY PINK DRESS THE BEST…

Personalized Tinker Bell Snowglobe

And I thought I’d wrap up this post with this gorgeous little thing!!

Look at that detailing. o^o The flowers are SOOO PRETTY.

Nendoroid figures by Good Smile Co. are sooooo cuuuute! Their chubby chibi bodies make them just so endearing and lovable.

These are really popular among collectors of anime goods and will add some serious adorableness to your display shelf. n3n

Oh, and I’m also trying out a different layout for these posts today, with larger images! :O

Nendoroid Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Non Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Hercule Barton

I watched a little bit of this anime after I learned that it’s a magical girl inversion of Sherlock Holmes (with some other literary detectives thrown in for good measure). It is exactly as crazy as it sounds, and then some.

The character designs are really cute though, and Hercule is one of the cutest!! She’s the shy one of the group and her powers grant her SUPER-HUMAN STRENGTH hahahahahaha

Nendoroid Sonic the Hedgehog Non Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Sonic

Sonic! He can really move! Sonic! He’s got an attituuude! Sonic! He’s the FASTEST THING ALI-III-II-I-IVE!!

And now that I’m done showing my age…

This figure comes with a lot of cute little accessories, so you can make some cool little scenes on your display shelf out of it. n_n

Nendoroid Petit Magical Girl Lyrical The Movie 1st: Nanoha and Fate Summer Memories

I’ve never seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, but I’ve sort of always wanted to. :O

Mostly because I love all magical girls, and because I see characters from this one a lot.

Nendoroid Sengoku Basara Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Sanada Yukimura

Another series I’m unfamiliar with, unfortunately… but I thought that this little guy was cute!!

Most anime figures are girls so I like to see some cool guys mixed in there, too!

Look he comes with cool weapons and everything. :O

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Non Scale Pre-Painted Soft Vinyl Figure: Madoka Kaname

Who’s that chick?? 😯

CHECK☆IT☆OUT!

I guess my weakness of bishounen-type characters in anime is stronger than I thought it was, because it only took a few posts of fan art of these characters on Tumblr for my interest to be piqued and I looked into this Uta no Prince-Sama series! And wouldn’tcha know it, it turned out to be something that I think is kinda pretty cool!

So Uta no Prince-Sama (means “Prince of Song” and is often shortened to just “Utapri”) began its existence as an otome game – a dating sim visual novel, a genre I’ve grown fond of recently. (I don’t really actively go out and find new otome games to get into, as I think many of them have less-than-interesting plots and if the artwork is overly-shoujo, I just get turned off entirely. So this series stood out to me because I like the designs of the guys kind of a lot!) The game isn’t available in English (I don’t think??) but it’s been out on PSP since 2010. The anime I’ve been watching is relatively new, as it aired in Summer 2011 and has a second season on its way in Summer or Fall 2012. 😀

I just dove right into it and loaded up the first episode, and the opening dance number pretty much had me sold, as it was immediately clear that this anime is all about shameless eye candy. ARE☆YOU☆READY?

When the first word in the opening song is “dokidoki,” that’s kind of your hint as to what kind of anime you’re watching and what to expect from it. It was pretty obvious to me that this was going to become my newest guilty pleasure.

SO JUST WHAT is Uta no Prince-sama all about? Well, I’m still learning the characters myself, but basically, all of the characters are enrolled in an extremely high-profile vocational school for the performing arts. All of the male leads are singing idols or musicians of varying degrees of fame, while the heroine has just enrolled in the school to achieve her dream of composing music, especially for one idol in particular…

Oh, and there’s one special rule that all students absolutely must follow:

DOUSHIO?!?!

What’s a poor otome game heroine to do?! Her dreams of achieving the harem ending have been blown to smithereens! Erm, I mean, her dream of composing for her favorite idol, the famous Hayato! This is Nanami Haruka, by the way. I always did like characters named Haruka…

Ittoki Otoya is one of the first fellows that we see, as he’s arriving to take the entrance exam at the same time Haruka does, and helps her out a bit. He’s the super-genki one – energetic and cheerful. Which is in stark contrast to his roommate…

…Ichinose Tokiya. When Haruka first met him, she mistook him for her all-time favorite idol, Hayato. But despite looking similar enough to be his twin, he acts completely differently (kind of a jerk, actually) and doesn’t want to be associated with Hayato at all. HOW VERY ~MYSTERIOUS~

Jinguji Ren, another of the guys Haruka met upon arriving at the school for the first time. Ren flirts with ~allllll the giirls~ and is super rich – the heir to a corporation of some sort owned by his family. This makes him a rival to another character that happens to be an heir, and unfortunately, they’re roommates.

Hijirikawa Masato thinks he can rock argyle sweaters, but that in conjunction with his nerdy haircut* just isn’t quite working out. He is very much the quiet type, possesses crazy smarts, and has a vitriolic relationship with Ren. *Later edit: I want to take back that remark about his hair being nerdy. It is beautiful hair.

Shinomiya Natsuki might be my favorite character so far, but that could be because he looks like Nanaki Kazuaki, right down to being incredibly spacey and secretly possessing a psychotic alter-ego. He is, however, extremely silly, and gets worked up over things that are cute, which includes Haruka and his unfortunate roommate…

…the adorable Kurusu Syo. He’s vying with Natsuki for my “favorite character” slot, and coincidentally they happen to interact a lot… and also have blond hair… I was worried I’d get them confused, but they look different enough that that doesn’t happen (the major height difference is a big indicator). Plus, Syo gets subjective bonus points because I thought he had pink hair at first (check the video above and you might make the same mistake), but it turned out to be mostly blond when he took off the hat. Still, he’s represented by the color pink everywhere else in the show and I can’t complain about that at all. Also he crossdresses at one point okay maybe he’s my favorite character and there’s not even any contest with Natsuki I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY

So those are the princes of Uta no Prince-Sama – at least that I know of so far! There maybe a couple more that will be revealed later.

I’m going to keep watching this – the little daily adventures Haruka has with each of the fellows are cute. ♥

And heck, it’s easy on the eyes.

Oh, and the reason we keep seeing this “1000% Love” phrase all over everything is because it’s the name of the song in the video up there, and it’s kind of a recurring theme.

The songs are worth mentioning. I’m only three episodes into this show, and I already want the soundtrack. The JPop songs are nice, if you like the genre, but it’s not just those – the tunes that play in the background during every scene are GORGEOUS. There was a part at the beginning of the school day (actually, the part where I grabbed that “ROMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN” screencap up there) and I went back and watched it again just to pay more attention to the pretty music that was playing in the background. ♥
