Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Original Japanese title: Otogi-Jūshi AkazukinIn the past, the world was powered by magic and science. However, a wise and benevolent god grew concerned of mankind's power and split the worlds into two; from then on, one world relied on the power of science and the other on the power of magic. This is the story Souta's mother had told him when he was but a small child. Now, several years later, he lives alone, and all he remembers about his mother is a dream where she is abducted by a monster, he himself being saved by a girl with red clothes.The dream soon turns out to be reality, as history repeats himself when Souta is attacked by a monster on his way home from school. He is saved first by a strange talking wolf called Val and soon after by a girl wearing the same red clothes as the girl from his dreams. She introduces her as Akazukin (Little Red Riding Hood), one of the three legendary musketeers from the world of magic. Her mission is to find and protect the "key" which connects the two worlds: Souta himself. She must protect him from the Wicked Witch Cendrillon, who wants to use the key to conquer both worlds.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Souta quickly acquires a Quirky Household of strange magical characters, as Val and Akazukin are soon joined by ice mage Shirayuki-hime (Snow White) and the narcoleptic Ibara-hime (Sleeping Beauty). Souta's female childhood friend Ringo is not amused by this turn of events.Fairy Musketeers was, at first, a single-episode 2005 OVA which came with an Akazukin figurine, aimed more at figure collectors than at anime fans. However, the OVA had some popularity with the Periphery Demographic, and so the concept was soon retooled as a standard children's TV show in the vein of Cardcaptor Sakura. The anime series aired from 2006 to 2007 for 39 episodes.You can also watch it for free now at Crunchyroll.

comment
The Glasses Come Off: This is Subverted and subversion lampshaded. Meganekko Shirayuki-hime takes off her glasses when she turns dark. However, it's all part of a ploy to fool the enemy, as she can't see a thing without her glasses.

Genre Blindness: Apparently, Grimm's Tales don't seem to exist in Souta's world (even though he's a fairy tale nut), since he doesn't raise an eyebrow to the fact that the girls are obviously well-known fairy tale characters.

Gratuitous English: We have such winners as "Grimm Taler" (with bonus Stealth Pun since the weapon is essentially... tailoring scissors), "House of Gravity", "Missing Gravity", "Shining Edge", "Leaf of Mirage" and "Stairway to Heaven". One of the strangest is "Garden of Eden", which is a mass of thorny vines wrapping around and crushing a target. So much for Paradise. How about "Doll Gravity", "Dark — Cendre" , "Blood..", "Comet Ladle", "Ice Basket", and "Aqua Field" to name a few more.

Older Than They Look: The core characters — Souta, Ringo, Akazukin, Shirayuki-hime and Ibara-hime — are all fourteen years old. In that regard, juushi may be pun, since it can mean "fourteen" when written in different kanji.

Characterization Marches On: In an odd, non-character related example, we have Gretel's massive sword. Late in the series it's revealed that she needs her mittens to lift it. Sounds reasonable, except she was clearly seen wielding it bare handed◊ twenty or so episodes earlier.

Spell My Name with an S
 Fairy Musketeers / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an "S": The girl Souta meets when he enters the various chapters of the two worlds story often gets translated as "Marlene" Due to the sound of her name (Mah-ren) and the trouble with L and R in Japanese. However, in addition to being Cendrillon's younger form her story is actually based on the Fairy Tale, "Maid Maleen". Similarly, the name for "mundane" world, "Ehrde", is pronounced as "Ehlde" (again, due to standard L/R swap convention), but it is actually "Erde", German for "Earth".

Took a Level in Badass
 Fairy Musketeers / int_9bcd0aa0
comment
Took A Level In Bad Ass: This trope may apply, by extension, to the original, real-world Fairytale versions of the characters. The majority of the characters are based on fairytale characters, often ones who were quite soft and/or generally defenceless in their original stories. Little Red Riding Hood is suddenly a knife-wielding demi-fire mage, Snow White has become the most dangerous ice mage in Fandavale, and Sleeping Beauty has to remain in a permanent state of half-sleep lest she accidentally wreak havoc on her surroundings. Hansel and Gretal have become a dark mage and Dark Magical Girl / Heavy Swordsman respectively. And Cinderella.. we get to see her go badass as Marlene, twisting a city's symbol of hope into a power source-slash-mind-control device for the horde of zombie dark mages she'd created in the process.
