Overall Rating: 6.0
This show is pretty cute. I was a big Sailor Moon fan for a while, which is similar to this, and I like the characters more than I did in Sailor Moon. It really is an adorable show, and I recommend it to magical girl anime fans. The music's one of the highlights of the show, and the art can be quite beautiful at some points.

Category Ratings
Artwork: 5.5The artwork in Wedding Peach is pretty basic, but the transformations and attacks can be quite pretty. It's the normal kind of shoujo art style, which isn't surprising because it shares the same designer as Sailor Moon. But it's good enough.
Plot: 5.5 Alright, the plot isn't EXTREMELY complex. It's pretty much like any other magical girl show with the transform-and-save-the-world kinda thing. However, if you liked Sailor Moon, you'll probably like this. It can be very adorable and sweet. Unlike Usagi and Mamoru's romance, I find Yousuke and Momoko's relationship adorable.
Character Development: 5.5 Not terribly indepth, but good enough. Each of the main three characters get an episode or so focused on them or their family. Personalities are obvious, but there's not much reflection or insight.
Music: 7.5 The opening song is BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely adore it. I never really got to liking the ending song, because I usually don't like them. FURIL, the group who sings, is very talented, and the second opening is very nice. A lot of the BGMs are also very gorgeous, especially when they have a melody of the opening song. If you really like the music, I recommend buying the first CD, Wedding Peach Music Bouquet 1. You can buy the second but it's not as good as the first. Very nice music.
Voice Acting: 7.0 There are no new seiyuu here, but the female actresses aren't extremely popular veterans. The voice actress for Momoko/Peach has done a lot of roles as has the voice actress for Yuri/Lily, but nothing I recognise to be major. However, Hinagiku/ Daisy's voice actress is another story. With her distinictively tomboyish voice, it's quite obvious she also did Asuka in Evangelion, a large role, I'd say. Veterans like Yousuke and Yanagiba's voice actors are present for the males voices. All and all, the voices fit the characters, and they all do a pretty good job with expression.
Other Information (And My Opinions)
Favorite Character: Tanima Yuri (Angel Lily) ^^ She's adorable, pretty and sweet. The graceful, polite redhead waaaay above.
Least Favorite Character: I absolutely cannot stand the main villian, Rain Devilla. Not because she's a villian, but because she's BORING. She just sits there and tells her little devils to go do things. She's as bad as Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon. Can we say, clone?
Ups: The music is gorgeous, and it's always entertaining. The attacks and transformations are beautiful, and it's very cute!
Downs: Nothing really bad in particular, but the whole save-the-world thing gets kind of old after seeing so many shows with the same concept. If you're in the mood for it, it's good! I doubt guys would like it too much.
