Customer Reviews of Wedding Peach - Love Wave (Vol. 1) - With Series Box

Sweet and Sad, Romantic and Funny
I LOVE this series. It has rapidly become my favorite anime series, I even went so far to seek out the soundtrack for it which was quite difficult as Wedding Peach isn't very popular here in America. Basic plotline is evident. Momoko is a fairly average school girl, she has the hots for the captain of the school soccer team, she is a member of the journalism club at her school and then one day she finds out that she is a love angel, destined to protect the world against devils who wish to destrol all love and loving hearts from the world. I first thought this series was going to be so stupid, but I started watching it and I couldn't stop! As the characters develop they start become more important especially the relationship between Momoko and Yousuke, a member of the soccer team that she first hated and then begins to fall in love with. There were times when there would be scenes so dramatic and deep that I would stop and have to reevaluate my perception of the series. It's a comedy series yet it has action and major drama and romance. I also happen to like the English voices; it's an older dubbing which is a shame because I'm not sure those voice actors are even still in the buisness. I think it's actually some of the best dubbing I've come across so far, though if you don't like it, you can always watch it in Japanese with the subtitles.

What do you know another Sailor Moon anime
I wish this how had some profanity and sexually situations if their going to have girls were skimpy clothes. Like Sailor Moon these girls can do magic. What pissed me off is when Momoko the junior high student wouldn't let Aphrodite's lieutenant Limone and Reine Devilla's servant Pluie fight each other that's what anime is all about. I don't want to see people get along but she have to step in and do her love magic which is so care bear style.

A puff of cotton candy from the God Of Confectionery
Likely the most potent Sailor Moon clone of all time, Wedding Peach is cutesy but lacks the originality and irresitible fun of what it is trying so hard to mimic. Regardless, it does have those nice little pros which we all hate to love. With a hopelessly generic plot and a cast of cute but annoying characters, Wedding Peach plants itself firmly under the guilty pleasure section-and where is its appeal, you ask? Well, like I said, it IS cute-and its dazzling prettiness should come off as irresistible to those desperate for more Sailor Moon-esque action. Another perk is that Tomokazu Seki, possibly my favorite seiyuu, positively breathes life into his role as Ignus (whom, sadly, we don't meet until volume 5)-and his appearances are one of the brightest points of the series. A disappointment, however, is that the anime seems to have dumbed itself down a bit from the manga, which is twice as innovative. The series seems far more directed towards children than its grittier original graphic novel form-and therefore a lot of the appeal has been diminished and replaced with typical magical girl sappiness and predictability, which we've already seen way too much of. Some of the characters look shockingly different from their manga counterparts-Hinagiku and Jamapi being the most radical examples. And the dub is almost excruciating to watch, so I highly recommend the original version. If you are lucky enough to find the sweet, distinct charm that lies beneath all that predictable froth, then you may find yourself in for a treat. Missteps aside, Wedding Peach stands strong as a fluffy, frothy guilty pleasure-though it may be venomous to the brain, it is as delicious as creme brulee to the palette. So does it bring anything fantastically new to the anime world? Well, no. But you're not likely to find sweeter candy.
