You watch this show because the CGI is so aggressively broken that it becomes its own kind of beautiful. The five anime-chans move like they're being puppeted by someone learning animation in real time, and somewhere around episode three you stop fighting it and start celebrating every frame. Meditative doesn't begin to cover it; this is what happens when a show commits harder to its own weirdness than to coherence, and that commitment is the entire point.
Japan, a lovely nation that has flourished since ancient times, has come to be known as the Anime Kingdom. Humans are not its only residents, because anime truly exist there. Beyond the Fairy Ring, in the world of fairies, live the anime-chans. Fairy Rings can turn up anywhere, from a hometown to Harajuku or perhaps the Ashigara mountains, and with a little luck one of those doors may open onto a meeting with them. A short-format comedy fantasy with musical elements.
