Pretear

Pretear (The new legend of Snow White) by Junichi Sato and illustrated by Kaori Naruse was the anime that introduced me back into Shoujo. I had gotten so far away from it in the past, annoyed with weak main characters that cried at the drop of a dime. Nowadays I don't mind them but I have to be in the mood. Himeno was great in the beginning but sure enough she to fell into the weak category, sadly. All in all the anime was good as far as Shoujo goes with me. I have never read the manga to the series.

P.S. To this day, if I hear the opening song to the anime I know all the words by heart lol. 

Genres: Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Shoujo, Supernatural

Summary:  

High school freshman Himeno has begun a new life with her father and new stepmother, but her world is more of a nightmare than a fairytale. That is, until she is crowned the Prétear by a group of handsome knights. But this is not a story of a damsel in distress! This princess is strong, stubborn, and she has a world to save!
