About Bottle Fairy

Meet Bottle Fairy (Binzume Yousei), a fantasy, comedy and slice of life anime by Xebec (2003). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: Set in the year 2004, Binzume Yousei is a slice-of-life fairy tale that revolves around four fairies, each represented by four unique colors as seen with their magical bottle jars. These fairies are the extremely peppy Kururu, the reserved and feminine Chiriri, the samurai-loving tomboy Sarara, and the quiet yet quirky Hororo.

More of the story: Fascinated by the human world, these fairies arrived from the fairy realm in hopes of participating in the annual traditions and overall way of human life. However, they have a very limited understanding of the human world. Luckily, they are befriended and guided by two humans—"Sensei-san," a university pupil who they live with, and a first-grade girl they call "Tama-chan," who is sometimes as naive as the fairies themselves.

With fantasy at the core, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
