Remember how we were talking about how FUNimation was going to announce some new licenses before Anime Central this year? Well, it looks like it may be true; Active Anime has the press release for a new FUNi license: Save Me! Lollipop (Japanese name Mamotte! Lollipop). I never watched it, so here’s their provided plot summary:

Nina was just another girl who dreamed of finding a prince to defend her honor and protect her from harm. Little did she know, two such boys would fall from the sky! Zero and Ichii are sorcerers from another world taking part in a test. The only way to pass the curious quiz? Find the coveted Crystal Pearl.

It’s going to be tough - other examiness[sic] seek the jewel as well, and some will stop at nothing to capture the prize. Oh, and Nina ate the Crystal Pearl after mistaking it for a piece of candy! Ichii and Zero vow to protect her until the coveted bauble can be reclaimned[sic].

Apparently they sent out this press release with a Whirly Pop lollipop via UPS (ooh, will have to check my UPS box). The typos in the above description may have appeared as some journalist hurriedly typed up the release that came in the mail, I suspect.
