| A very sweet, lighthearted series following a middle school girl with a magical ribbon. It's target audience being younger children, nothing big ever really happens besides Hime-chan simply having a lot of little mishaps and mistakes and such on her adventures. It's easy to love the characters and fall in love with the series, as simple as it is. It brings back wonderful memories, and I can watch over and over- but not for those who like things overly deep. It's an old series, but worth it!!

| Among the oldies (meaning anime from '80s and '90s) this is simply my all-time fav. I've watched and rewatched this one in the years and I never got tired.
Characters are done and developed so marvellously, that I really cant' find any other series close to this.
Although uneasy, I'm gonna explaining why now.

| I'm a big fan of the 'slice-of-life' genre, which may seem to contradict itself considering this is a magical-girl show, but the overall feeling is quite similar. Manages do pull off the (nearly) impossible: being cute without annoying the heck out of you after 50+ episodes.

| A very cute, magical girl's story that has funny, enjoyable moments. I got interested in that Hime-chan in some ways isn't your typical heroine...but it still keeps its typical magical girl's theme. Overall, it's still a nice show, and for 61 episodes, it's pretty entertaining for young kids (and maybe even adults). Gotta love Sei Are.

| I walked into this series blind. I downloaded it all because it was uncommon and I found it easily. I myself have seen about 3/4 of the entire series and had a hard time churning these eps down. People may say it's not the typical shoujo but that doesn't make it a good anime. It is quite lighthearted but also made me feel like a moron sometimes as the eps went on.

| I'm not sure what it is about kid's shows, but Hime-chan along with Akazukin Chacha are two of the best shows I've been able to see. Hime-chan takes a simple aproach to itself in that it's main goal is to have fun. Fun characters, fun situations, fun stories. Unless you're really hardcore against cuteness and lighthearted fun, Hime-chan will surely put a smile on your face. It did mine =)

| I am a guy and I enjoyed watching all the eps in college. I managed to sit through all 61 eps because the show isn't like some of those ridiculous, roll-your-eyes at the plot, groan-
every-time-the-characters-do-the-same- stupid-things-over-again kind of shoujo. The episodes get a little repetitive, but Hime-chan is a great character (and a tom-girl, so not stereotypical pre-teen girl dumb) and Pokota is a great stuffed lion/familiar. In the end, it's a nice story of how a girl grows a littler older, a little more mature, and finds friends that she cares about.

| +: Charismatic animation, spiffy characters and seiyuu to back those characters up, nice mix of magic and reality, this is about as light-hearted as a series can get.
-: Length and problems towards the end hurt the series a bit.
Based on a 1991 manga by Mizusawa Megumi-sensei, Hime-chan no Ribon is one of those series that is almost impossible to hate. How can you hate a series this spirited? You tell me.
For a series made in 1992, the animation is very bright and spectacular. The characters are designed rather well. Speaking of which, the characters are developed rather well, even the supporting characters, and they all have wonderful seiyuu to back them up. Whether you have Outani Ikue-san playing as Hime-chan/Erika or Koyasu Takehito-sama playing as Sei, you have characters that have so much spirit within.
Of course, it's a shame the magical kingdom can't perform some kind of spell to get rid of the series's flaws, in which, there aren't many. The story is nice and all, but letting it go on and on for 60 episodes or so really will test people's tolerance levels. Also, it comes down crashing towards the end. Why? I don't know.
In the end, the characters and the atmosphere offset the flaws. Hime-chan reminds us the wonders of fantasy. There is no question that this is a good series for me to step back from the hardships of reality. I would recommend Hime-chan no Ribon to anyone. Ike ike! Go go! Jump!

| Overall, this is an great shoujo-anime to the younger part of the audience.
I came over this one by accident but once I started to watch it, I couldent stop.
The characters and the story are great and it evolves as the episodes goes by.
Expect alot of rivalities, adventures and new interresting characters along the way.
The animation could been better, but have in mind that it's from 1992 (thus, great animation from that timeperiod).
For those who likes magical-girl and shoujo anime, this is a keeper.

| Hime-chan's Ribbon is a shoujo series that I think it would be almost impossible to hate. It's a really cute story, with a great cast, and a perfect ending to it after its 61-episode run. The animation isn't stellar but that isn't the draw, it's the stories and the characters that make the show work.
The series starts with Erika, a princess from the magic world, looking for the person in the Human World who looks just like her. There's a tradition in the magic world that in order for Erika to ascend to the throne someday, she has to invent a magic item, then give it to the one in the human world who looks like her (everyone in the magic world has a duplicate in the human world). Then that person gets to use the item for a year--and if she finds it useful and a review committee OKs it, Erika passes her test and can ascend to the throne.
Erika's duplicate turns out to be Hime-chan (the name "hime" means "princess" in Japanese). Hime-chan is anything but hime-like--she's the biggest tomboy in her junior high, with a crush on Hasekura-senpai, her senior in drama club. Hime-chan also runs into Daichi, a guy from her grade who's the "problem student" of the school, which in Japan means he does radical things like rollerskating in the hallways when you aren't supposed to, and cutting class to go ride trains. Erika gives Hime-chan the magic item, a ribbon that will let her transform into anyone she wishes, but only for a set time.
This sets off 60 episodes of chaos, and a lot of fun, as Hime-chan uses the ribbon in situations from changing into the principal to avoid getting caught for being late, to changing into Aiko to give Hasekura-senpai a present, and just about anything else. There's a lot of potential for disaster, and Hime-chan's the kind of person who manages to find most of it. The best part of the series, though, is the relationship between Hime-chan and Daichi--there's a lot of teasing that goes on back and forth, but from being adversaries in the first episode, they become better and better friends, and end up liking each other. That relationship and how it evolves is one of the better done ones I've seen in anime. They're just a fun couple to watch. Hime-chan's family is well-done too--there's her father, a director, her mom, a writer (I envy her job...), her older sister Aiko, and much younger sister Yumeko. Hime-chan is also helped by her favorite stuffed animal, Pokota, who comes to life when she wears the ribbon, and reminds me a lot of Kero-chan from CCS. There's also Arisaka-kun, who's from the magic world and gets a crush on Hime-chan, and Hime-chan's classmate Hibino, who obesses over Daichi but isn't much competition as a rival except in her own head.
Overall, I highly recommend this show. While it won't win any awards for animation quality, the character designs are still kawaii, and it's just a great, feel-good kind of show with a few serious moments too.
