Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar Special

   This is a two episode OVA series, set as a flashback to the middle of
   the Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar series, in which the the schoolkids put on a
   play. The various season fairies get involved and put on their own
   little play, and also help out (and/or make pains of themselves).

   The thing about the various TSFS stuff is how interesting the stories
   manage to be despite the trival nature of what occurs in them. The
   world does not end. There are magic faries, but they can only control
   weather, and nobodies lives are placed in any sort of magical
   jeopardy. Yet the stories still manage to be strangely compelling.

   How you percieve these specials depends exactly on what you thought of
   the regular series. In my case, I liked TSFS, so I'll call this a good
   special. There's no point in watching it before the TV series,
   however, and it sort of spoils the ending.
