This Anime is one of my favorites..actually, the story is more than just Cinderella's story..it has a pretty good, not spoiled romance and well created characters..Cinderella is more than awesome and the prince is just so cool..The story isn't just based on Cinderella's story and that what makes it enjoyable and a little unpredictable..You would surely love it x3

Cinderella was the only story that my mother told me when i was around 9 years old. So i remembered it clealy. I watched Disney's three movies on Cinderella. But here I would admire Japanese Anime writers creativity. I know that the story is well-known all over the world so no need for retelling. But this anime's uniqueness lies in the serialization of the fairytale story, which is very short. A relationship, especially the one which could lead to marriage, wouldn't be so short-noticed such a " mid-night' party event. In this story the Scenario of Cinderella's daily life and her personality and friendly naturewere shown clearly. Charles's character is new to me. I never knew that he came out of palace with his friend's name to know his citizens (also for his own freedom too) Here it is also shown that Charles had friendly personality, especially in the episode where he befriends a circus group and hints them to get of the nervousness in front of the audience. So overall after looking at the end, it is complete and makes sense that their relationship and decision to marry her is not on a whim. ART.: OLD style but o.k I enjoyed it and and gave a score of 9 for creative narration of whole story.

Cinderella Monogatari is not a very recent anime. It does not have the special effects that we are now blessed with having. However, it is blessed with great storytelling and has a nice moral. Both movie (Disney) and story (by Charles Perrault) do not go in great detail about Cinderella's life before she went to the ball. This series tell a great deal, and, not only that, the twists make the story a bit more realistic, in my point of view. Fairy tails are always, or almost, the same and have many common components such as: love at first sight (without even knowing each other),a villain or two defeat and a happy ending. In my opinion, Cinderella Monogatari changes all of these examples and weaves a story that is so great that you should overlook the fact that perhaps you do not like the ancient aspect of it.

This is my first time writing a review. At first I didn't think much of it as it is a older anime, but I convinced myself otherwise. I Did Wonder what it would of turned out to be like. To my surprise it was a little different then the normal Cinderella stories you hear about, not by much but had a good story that made me want to watch the next episode. Over all the build up of the characters and the ending was good. Seemed at times you couldn't tell their feelings or thoughts clearer, but I liked it in this anime, made forthe suspense of it all. If you like fairy tales or happy endings this is a good anime to watch.

Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella... Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! - Oh wait, wrong soundtrack.. This is YET another take on the classic story of Cinderella. A story of a young maiden forced to do unendless laborious house work under her own noble home by her wicked stepmother. Yep most of us is very much adept and familiar of how the story of this such pitiful maiden goes; but in this Anime adaptation of this classic tale holds a fine re-telling of the story. What set this apart from the rest is that it gave a much deeper background to Cinderella and the Prince relationship. I'm a sucker for romance and especiallyabout "RAG to RICHES" stories. This series serves just that, with bonus morale lessons about Friendship, Love, Family and other goody values. In order to fully appreciate this series is that you just have to watch this with an open mind because their is an undeniable HUGE FLAW regarding its plot. Cinderella befriended the Prince in a very ordinary circumstance without realizing he is really the Prince. We get to see them interact throughout almost the entire series that you wish for Cinderella to realize it's the prince all along. But that same flaw made this series the more charming and memorable. As a viewer you'll grow to love Cinderella and the Prince and root for them until the end. There are alot more aspect in this story that were explained; like why Cinderella can speak to animals around her house. Why does she have a Fairy Godmother and so on. This was created back in the mid 90's so the animation is dated but you wouldn't care for it too much as it's still a decent quality. Forget about its technical aspect and just go with the flow. You'll adore this kiddie show. Episode 4 sealed the deal for me I knew I would end up loving this show. The ending was near pitch perfect. It really did delivered a satisying conclusion to a perfect story to Cinderella's fairytale. I am no expert on the original story but I've read and seen different versions of Cinderella and this particular anime shines brightly as Cinderella's glass slippers amongst all of them. While growing up this anime is one of the most memorable series for me. Once in awhile I still view this series for an entire day and I am still as fond and captivated to it as I was back in day. If you get the chance go watch it. Last time I checked it was still on Youtube. lol
