It's from a shounen manga - Dengeki Comics, IIRC - the same folks who
brought us "Pita-ten", "Happy Lesson" and other "cute girl" series

sports anime - but I'm not sure that it didn't start in a shoujo manga

I think this was an OAV - it doesn't "feel" very shoujo, just very "80's"

Nope. It ran in Shounen Sunday, as did Adachi's H2.

Its kind of hard to tell, but my general rule of thumb is that if the show
is about cute girls doing cute things, it is made for guys. Shows in this
category include Sugar, DigiCharat, and Kokoro Toshokan. Even though shoujo
anime and manga tends to focus on the female characters, they tend to have
more emotional drama than the "cute girl" shows. Of course, lately there
have been a lot of both shoujo and shounen shows which are hard to tell the
difference.

I don't like Pita-ten. I don't like Digi-Charat. Does that mean I wouldn't
like Sugar?
I do love fairies.

Sugar is very different from Pita-ten or Digi-Charat. It's a very leisurely,
wistful sort of series. And the fairies are cute in a more "traditional"
sense, rather than being "cute girls" for the typical shounen "cute girls"
show. So you might like Sugar.

That depends on what you don't like about them. If its the pace and the
general craziness of the series, then you might like it. Sugar is much more
leisurely. Its one of the slower cute girl shows like Kokoro Toshokan. On
the other hand, if what you don't like is that they are not packed with
bishonen characters, you probably won't like Sugar either.

It definitely has a lot of fairies!

> Legend of Himiko
Shounen - a harem of cute girls with improbable bust sizes (Himiko should
fall over). It's a TV series of 13 eps, based on a fan-servicey strategy
RPG game for the Playstation.
> Idol Project
Probably shounen with a name like that. I think it's about aspiring idol
singers but not in a Full Moon way.
> Space Pirate Mito 1: Call Me Mom!
Weird, messed up space adventure thing that's likely to be shounen.
> Magic Circle Guru-Guru
Kid's comedy show which spoofs RPGs. Probably more shounen than anything,
as most "kiddie" shows are - is Pokemon shounen?

The thing was I didn't think the characters were cute, and the shows kind of
depended on their cuteness since the plot wasn't doing much. What was
happening on screen just didn't seem interesting.

Yay!

Yeah, I might like it then. I'll see if I can get a look at it sometime,
thanks!
