[[File:lilpri2_2475.jpg|frame]] Fairyland is in trouble. Its princesses and their respective worlds are disappearing, causing a ripple effect on Earth where their stories are popular. In order to save Fairyland, the Queen sends three "mapets" (magic animals), Sei, Dai, and Ryoku, to Earth with magic gems to find three girls who can become the "Super Miracle Idols," the princesses Snow White, Cinderella, and [
The anime is based on Sega's trading card arcade game ''Lilpri - Yubi Puru Hime Chen!'', which lets players customize their own idol and sing, dance, and cast spells. On May 29, 2010, Crunchyroll began streaming the series under the inaccurate but cute title ''[http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Lilpri Spellbound! Magical Princess Lil'Pri]''. There is also a manga that began running in February 2009 called simply "Lilpri", written by Mai Jinna, the game's character designer.
Line 67:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: In episode six, Sei has hired for the girls a dance teacher named [[Michael Jackson|Michael]], who sounds, acts, looks, and dances (a bit) like the beloved late pop star, his body and what he is wearing however are [[Lupin III|based on]] [[media:mj_lupin_409.jpg|someone else]].
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: The mapets Sei, Dai, and Ryoku, and [[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|White Rabbit]] [[Expy]] Chris/{{spoiler|Wish}}.
* [[One
* [[The Other Darrin|The Other Lilpri]]: This is actually what the anime versions are. In the original game, Ringo, Leila and Natsuki were voiced by [[Chihiro Ishiguro]], [[Satomi Satou]], and [[Shiori Mikami]], respectively (who of course, also sing the songs).
* [[Plot Pants]]: Glaringly obvious inversion. Ringo, Leila, and Natsuki wear the exact same outfits every single day apparently, whether in school or not, rain or shine but when they transform into Lilpri they get a different outfit every time. The only exception being the Princess Fairytale card which they like well enough to use 5 or 6 times and their halloween costumes which are ... you guessed it, their Princess Fairytale card outfits.
Line 74:
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: ''Hime Chen'' is probably a pun on ''imechen'' (イメチェン), meaning "image change" or "makeover."
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Ringo, though it could count as stylized red hair.
* [[Shout
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Let's see... There's the comedy show and ''Close-Up Idol'' from episode 6, as well as all the shows introduced in episode 32 such as ''Mr. Monkeys'', ''Herahera'', ''[[Star Trek|Star Trick]]'', ''Easy Meals''...
* [[Single-Minded Twins|Single Minded Septuplets]]: Ringo's seven little brothers.
* [[Single
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Although "Leila" is the official English spelling of her name (which is also used on Crunchyroll's subs), there have been people who have referred to her as either "Reira" (based on the reading of her name in katakana), or "Layla". [http://family.shogakukan.co.jp/lilpri-fan_cover/ This] page for a Japanese Lilpri magazine shows "Leila" as being how her name is officially written in English.
** The first fansub group also misspelled Ryoku's name as "Ryo'''u'''ku" for some reason, and Crunchyroll once spelled Natsuki's last name as "Takahara".
Line 98:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Wish
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Episode 24, a Natsuki-centered episode, is one towards the original Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (otherwise known as Kaguya-hime, which is the "fairy tale princess" Natsuki represents).
* [[
* [[Wonder Twin Powers|Wonder Triplet Powers]]: A "Secret Lilpri" segment in episode 37 reveals that the girls have to transform together (otherwise, it won't work), resulting in this trope.
** Inverted in the original arcade game, where they only transform individually; it will always be the one the player selects at the start of the game.
