Wedding Peach    Another froth-and-lace "magical girls" show, Wedding Peach does not disappoint with its silly magical attacks names and extended transformation sequences. Momoko, Hinagiku and Yuri are normal junior high schoolers who suddenly discover within themselves the ability to change into wedding gown-attired defenders of justice and love! The world of devils, a dimension that thrives on hate and the darker sides of life, is suffering, due to the constant "love rays" emanating from Earth and all of its pesky love-filled inhabitants. They send minions down to spread more hate, but the Angels of Love come to the rescue every time! As the three girls fight the evil, they learn more about their mysterious guardian and find themselves in blossoming relationships.

Wedding Peach ran for 51 TV episodes and is available in 3 manga volumes. Check out these love-filled websites:

Whispers of the Heart (Mimi o Sumaseba)    Shizuku Tsukishima has planned to spend the entire summer vacation reading - until she notices that every book she's borrowed has been checked out by the same mysterious person: Seiji Amasawa. During one of her trips to the library, she notices a cat riding the train, and follows it curiously to a small antique shop hidden away from the noise and bustle of the city. There she meets an old man, his almost magical doll, named the Baron, and his grandson - who happens to be the same Seiji who appeared on her library cards! After learning that he longs to study abroad and become a violin-maker, Shizuko is determined to find her own dream and accomplish something for herself - and departs on a touching journey of self-realization, imagination, and romance. This Studio Ghibli production depicts modern life in Japan very accurately, but at the same time infuses it with a sense of wonder and poignance that will leave you sighing long after the last scene fades away.

The rights to Whispers of the Heart in the US have been picked up by Disney, but there are no set release dates yet. For more information on this wonderful film:
