Chinese Title: 小花仙

The Flower Fairy (or "Flower Angel" starting from season 3) is a Chinese magical girl series created by Taomee Network, adaptation of the hit MMORPG webgame with the same name debuted in February 14, 2014 in mainland China. Even though many of the characters from the original game made continuous appearances in the many season of the show, the setting and the story takes liberties and are not completely accurate to each other; making the animated counterpart a re-imagining of the source material in many ways. While the game takes place in a purely fantasy setting, the show chooses a rural town as the main location with urban fantasy elements; the world of the game being a back drop that bleeds into this otherwise mundane place and many of the main character starting out as regular school girls before getting granted their powers.

The Chinese name of the series ( 小花仙 / xiǎo huā xiān) actually translates to "Little Flower Fairy", making both English translations slightly inaccurate. For it to translate in to "Flower Angel" the show had to be titled " 花天使 / huā tiān shǐ ".

Not to be confused with the 80's anime "Hana No Ko Lunlun"; which both went with the "Flower Angel" as it's English title and as " 花仙子 " (Flower Fairy Child) while airing in China.

First episode was officially dubbed into English and uploaded to the internet to create interest for the companies who may be looking into localizing the show for English speaking audiences. But in the moment of writing, Flower Angel has never been translated, localized or aired outside of it's country of origin.

The show has been accused of plagiarizing Card Captor Sakura, various Precure seasons and other anime with uncanny similarities between some of the plot points and designs choices, causing controversy and outcry among the show's fans. However, no legal action has ever been taken against the company making the show by the rights holders of these properties. Despite this, the show is still loved and remembered fondly by many of it's fans and enjoys a cult following.
