The irreverent, genre-deconstructing humor saves the show from [[TastesLikeDiabetes tasting like diabetes]].

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode title ends with "......tara iina" ("I wish") in the first two seasons and "...de sukkiri!?" (Refreshed By...!?) in ~Sukkir​​i!~.

* ShoutOut -- When the King is sending My Melo off on her quest, he refers to her as "[[SailorMoon Pretty Bunny Soldier]] My Melo" and "[[Anime/MaoChan Earth Defense Bunny]] My Melo." My Melo later remarks that the King had been watching a lot of Earth TV shows at the time.

In [[MagicalLand Mari Land]], a picturesque world entirely populated by {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}s, two miscreants named [[DarkMagicalGirl Kuromi]] and [[ButtMonkey Baku]] are imprisoned in a dungeon. One day, they obtain the Melody Key, a magical instrument with dark powers, and escape from the prison. They head to the human world in order to [[GottaCatchEmAll collect Black Notes]] by making people's dreams come true in [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor horrible ways]], with the eventual goal of resurrecting the [[SealedEvilInACan Spirit of Dark Power]]. Meanwhile, an acquaintance of Kuromi named [[CuteWitch My Melody]] is suspected of helping the two fugitives escape. She is ordered to go to the human world to arrest them and save people's dreams. My Melody arrives in Yumemigaoka City and helps a junior high school student named [[MuggleBestFriend Uta Yumeno]] when she falls victim to Kuromi's Melody Key. The two become friends, and My Melody starts living with Uta. After that, My Melody and Uta are involved in various troubles caused by Kuromi, but they solve them using My Melody's [[MagicMusic Melody Takt]], a magical conductor's baton.

* DemonicPossession -- The BigBad, Spirit of the Dark, has no physical form, and must possess other beings to further its goal.
* DisproportionateRetribution -- Arguably the root cause of the entire series. My Melo has apparently been accidently emberasing Kuromi for years, and messing up her life. She has done this literally thousands of times, and most of them are the result of My Melo trying to HELP Kuromi.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode title ends with "......tara iina" ("I wish") in the first two seasons and ~Sukkir​​i!~ ends with "...de sukkiri!?" (Refreshed By...!?).

* TitleDrop: Said by My Melody in Kuru Kuru Shuffle epsidoe 36.

* ShoutOut -- When the King is sending My Melo off on her quest, he refers to her as "[[SailorMoon Pretty Bunny Soldier]] My Melo" and "[[Anime/{{Mao-chan}} Earth Defense Bunny]] My Melo." My Melo later remarks that the King had been watching a lot of Earth TV shows at the time.

* TheWhitePrince -- Keiichi behaves awkwardly when Uta brings him to a greasy spoon; he even tries to pay the bill with a Black American Express Card.

The irreverent, genre-deconstructing humor saves the show from [[TastesLikeDiabetes tasting like diabetes]]. Much, much BetterThanItSounds.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It have To Be Cute Things?]] -- Mana has a severe phobia to cute things, which puts her in some unpleasant situations with My Melody.

* ShoutOut -- When the King is sending My Melo off on her quest, he refers to her as "[[SailorMoon Pretty Bunny Soldier]] My Melo" and "[[{{Mao-chan}} Earth Defense Bunny]] My Melo." My Melo later remarks that the King had been watching a lot of Earth TV shows at the time.

* OriginStory -- The fourth series Kirara★ sets before the events of the three anime itself before before Kuromi escapes to the human world along with the Melody Key.

As each season of the series progresses, newer tasks fall to My Melody and her friends. In ~Kuru Kuru Shuffle!~, My Melody must collect Pink Notes while Kuromi must collect the Black Notes so they can fulfill their wishes. In Sukkiri♪, both My Melody and Kuromi are [[MagicalGirlQueenlinessTest candidates to become the new Princess]] of Mary Land.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent -- ''Sukkuri'' in general, which streamlines the formula of the previous series so that every episode is half-length. While the formula is similar, there are many inherent differences, such as how Kuromi doesn't actually use nightmare magic on other people this time.
