List of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar episodes
The episodes of the anime series A Little Snow Fairy Sugar were created by "Project Sugar"—a collaboration between TBS, J.C.Staff, and Kadokawa Shoten—and directed by Shinichiro Kimura. The first episode premiered in Japan on TBS on October 2, 2001, and the series ran for 24 episodes until its conclusion on March 26, 2002. A two episode original video animation was released for the series. Set four years after the conclusion of the series, Saga tells Kanon about a school play in which she played the princess and struggled with stage fright, while Sugar and other fairies decide to make a play of their own.
The anime series uses three pieces of theme music. "Sugar Baby Love" by Yoko Ishida is used for the opening theme for all of the episodes except the first and the last, which use no opening. It is also used for the ending theme for the last episode. Maria Yamamoto's performance of the song "Snow Flower" is used for the ending theme for the first 23 episodes.
Episode listing
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
| # | Title | Original Airdate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Saga Meets Sugar" "Saga, Shugā to Deau" (サガ、シュガーと出会う) | October 2, 2001 |
| It is another normal (and orderly) day in Saga's life, until she meets a tiny figure and feeds it a waffle. Complicating the budding relationship is that this little thing introduces itself as Sugar, a snow fairy — and Saga does not believe in fairies. | ||
| 2 | "An Itsy-Bitsy Roommate" "Chitchana Rūmumeito" (ちっちゃなルームメイト) | October 9, 2001 |
| Sugar, determined to learn more about the human world, accompanies Saga to her school. But her naivety about human life and Saga's open scolding bring Saga a lot of trouble. To add to the confusion, two more fairies appear: Salt; a sun fairy and Pepper; a wind fairy . | ||
| 3 | "Twinkle-Twinkle, Comfy-Warm, Puffy-Fluffy" "Kirakira, Pokapoka, Fuwafuwa" (きらきら、ぽかぽか、ふわふわ) | October 16, 2001 |
| During market day, Sugar, Salt and Pepper set off to find themselves a "twinkle" - but neither of them have any concrete idea about what a "twinkle" really is! Sugar thinks that it should be twinkling, Salt thinks that it should be comfy-warm, but Pepper thinks that it should be puffy-fluffy. A crow eager for shiny trinkets becomes an additional hazard in their quest. | ||
| 4 | "Where Are the "Twinkles"?" ""Kirameki" wa Doko?" (きらめきはどこ?) | October 23, 2001 |
| Following a hint from Pepper's dove friends, the three little fairies turn Saga's school upside-down in their search for the "twinkle". | ||
| 5 | "The Elder Arrives!!" "Chōrō-sama Arawaru!!" (長老さま現る!!) | October 30, 2001 |
| The Elder arrives in the human world, ostensibly to watch the apprentice fairies' progress — but in reality he has a much more "serious" goal in mind: winning beautiful rain fairy Ginger's heart! However, his own shyness and the pestering of the little fairies about telling him what a "twinkle" really is don't make the job easier for him or Ginger. | ||
| 6 | "I Couldn't Say Sorry" "Gomen ne ga Ienakute" (ゴメンねがいえなくて) | November 6, 2001 |
| Sugar bungles again, and in a tensed-up effort to do better, she only succeeds in annoying Saga, and the two have a serious row. An attempt by Sugar to amend the situation, however, results in her unintentionally defacing one of Saga's most cherished mementos of her late mother. | ||
| 7 | "Heart Joining Melody" "Kokoro o Tsunagu Merodī" (心をつなぐメロディー) | November 13, 2001 |
| Sugar and Saga have broken up. While they do miss each other, stubbornness on both sides prevents them from approaching each other and making up. Sugar takes up with two irresponsible fairy apprentices, Cinnamon; an ice fairy, and Basil; a lightning fairy — but is the wild, carefree life really something for her? | ||
| 8 | "The Shape of Dreams" "Yume no Katachi" (夢のカタチ) | November 20, 2001 |
| Phil, the never-tired inventor, tries his hands at an ambitious project: to artificially create an aurora. This project of course meets disbelief and criticism from both his fellow students and fairies alike. Salt, his most vocal critic at first, funnily ends up assisting Phil in his efforts. | ||

| 12 | "Goodbye, Mr. Bear" "Sayonara, Kuma-san" (さよなら、クマさん) | December 18, 2001 |
| Just before their last performance, Vincent sprains his hand and is unable to play the piano, which is a vital part of the Bear Pianist's story. Much to everyone's surprise, Vincent recommends Saga to fill in for him at the piano seat. As Saga fights with her stage fright, it is Sugar who provides her with much-needed moral support; and as they return home, a tremendous surprise awaits them... | ||
