Tokyo Marble Chocolate

Chizuru, a cheerful girl with a history of unsuccessful romance, is planning to break up with her boyfriend, Yuudai, since he never seems to reciprocate her feelings. However, as she arrives at what she plans to be their final date, Yuudai presents her with a gift that turns out to be an energetic and troublesome mini donkey. While Yuudai was hoping that today would be the day he could finally summon enough confidence to let Chizuru know the depth of his feelings, a series of misunderstandings threaten to tear the couple apart forever. With a rambunctious mini donkey doing its best to mend their relationship, Chizuru and Yuudai each wonder if they are capable of loving and being loved in return.

Best anime, so underrated!! With a song sukimaswitch Zenryoku shounen make it than better. Eventhough it just have 2 episode. The anime taking a difrent POV show to viewers tooking a unique prespective. The story likely regular romance, with little problem, i so exited when i seeing this anime. Can describe a atmosfere in 2005 with clearly. So if you watching this anime. You will never get borring and see so simplyficant anime.
In side a story. When we seeing Man POV. We seeing a little difrent with woman story. But there is same side so it more making this anime so dramaticaly

Bad At Dating, mini Donkey To The Rescue

tokyo marble chocolate Is a Love Story where we see both sides, both Trainwreck at dating. Maybe now they have found the right one, with a Little help from a donkey.

It's such an interesting idea, Why not tell the events of 2 day, but from both sides of a couple, and see And see what's dramas and turmoil happened.
It is so well done and the couple is so sweet, They are both adorable and had this warm feeling to them because of their red cheeks.

it's so hilarious to see how their previous dating experience went, It's just ... so fun. It has a light and wholesome tone to it even when the worst drama happens. It's just a heartwarming experience.

And the length is perfect 26 minutes to show each side of it is just so nice. You don't have to set an entire day to watch a TV show. it goes to the bone of the matter and stay focused, it's so nice.

Nice music, nice animation and it doesn't waste your time, would really recommend.

Mixed Feelings

Spoiler

Okay, here we go for the forty-first time:

Characters:
-Main characters: While Chizuru tries to use logic, Yuudai lets himself be carried away by his feelings without hesitation. The truth is that they are a very sweet couple, and the best thing is that the two OVAs complement each other, as each one is from the perspective of one of them. As I said, Yuudai helps you understand the strong emotions, and Chizuru brings more logic to the story. In other words, as individual characters, they don't stand out, but as a couple, they do, which is why I give them this score. (6/7)
-Supporting characters: Well, each ... one has a brief appearance to improve the story, but even so, I've noticed that in the world of this anime, the idiocy of the male gender is a bit exaggerated. (1/3)

Logic:
I really wanted to find things that were illogical, but the only thing that comes to mind is the existence of a very intelligent mini donkey, although I think I'm being too harsh by pointing out the cupid of this romance. (9/10)

Entertainment (Personal):
It's fine to enjoy for a while because it doesn't stand out much as a romance. I feel like this show is more for generating nostalgia for someone who would have seen it at the time than for someone seeing it for the first time today. (6/10)

The basics in an anime:
-Animation: The characters have huge smiles that I find funny. Otherwise, it's decent and cute. (1/2)
-Music: The reason I decided to watch this was Sukima Switch. (2/2)
-Addictiveness: Since it's snowing, I would repeat this next Christmas. (1/2)
-Tag development (genres, themes, etc.): This is definitely “Romance,” although it doesn't stand out among the rest, to be honest. I wish there had been more than two episodes; with four episodes, they would have developed EVERYTHING better. (2/2)
-Ending: The pace was so fast that I hardly noticed it. It's like, “Good for them, I hope they're very happy,” and that's it. (1/2)

Plot development (or initial premise):
I didn't expect them to show us each protagonist's perspective of the story and flashbacks of these characters' pasts as if we already knew them to let us know that this story didn't start now. In short, these OVAs are the end of this sweet couple's search for the person to love. (3/10)

Personal Reflection (Clearly personal):
Find someone who truly values you for who you are and supports you in overcoming your flaws if you need it.
But most importantly, and I give double points for how important this is in the story: if you truly love her, don't let her go. (4/10)

Comments:
I find it surprising and then acceptable that Tokyo Marble Chocolate has the same score as the first arc of Black Clover.
The truth is that this romance anime doesn't stand out, but because it's short, I think it's worth it if you want to be a little moved by the drama. By the way, I prefer this Chizuru a little more than the other one who is more famous.

Final score: 7.6.


(Note: Since I'm very tolerant of anime, my minimum score for all of them is currently 4).
