Candy☆Boy Episode 0

Have you ever read manga where there's this extremely tragic f/f love story that either ends up with one or both girls dead, or one girl decides she isn't going to stay in the relationship?

Well, Candy☆Boy is the complete opposite. It's a short ONA that doesn't even last eight minutes long, but it's really sweet and the ending leaves you with a heartwarming feeling.

As a bonus, if you haven't noticed yet, Nabatame Hitomi voices one of the main characters. And if you don't know she's practically seen as the queen bee of yuri* seiyuu... well.

*My usage of "yuri" does not connote anything sexual or pornographic in nature, hence my preference to use "f/f" to mean "shoujo ai" or "yuri".

The ratings to the left are as objective as I can put them; your perception and take of the premise will, of course, greatly influence your actual enjoyment or lack thereof.

Major warning (and fundamentally slightly SPOILERish):

For those who don't like watching anime with sisterly incest-- then this is not for you.
The bottom line is, if you like f/f and don't mind twincest, then this is a must-see.

In any case, you only have to commit seven minutes and thirty-nine seconds of your life to see if it's a suitable assessment, should it have piqued your interest.

EDIT: The DVD version's now out, and it's got an additional scene. The cuteness-- well, heck, it's off the scale. The total length should be around ten minutes for the DVD version. Most of the additional length is actually the ED, though. The scene in question lasts less than a minute but it's definitely worth the trouble looking for, as long as you heed the warning from above regarding the nature of the relationship. For those who are a bit more touchy about this and could just barely stand the ONA, don't watch the additional scene. It gives the relationship a bit more "definiteness" while still remaining tame. read more

Gosh, what an unfabulous short pointless anime this is.

I was waiting for it to even start and nothing happened. What a waste of ten minutes of my life.

The story is about incestuous twin sisters. I don't know about you, but I don't like that sort of thing. You might wonder why I watched it, then. It's because I heard there was going to be yuri action (which there wasn't) and I heard that it's cool (which is wasn't...unless you have a crush on your twin sister and this anime totally gets it), and also, nobody bothered to tell me it was about incest.

The art was mediocre, the sound was...wait, was there any sound?? I can't recall the BGM. The characters are bland as well. There's nothing special about them. They cry a lot. They mope a lot. Okay, all lesbians are mopey and cryful, wonderful.

I finished this wanting to know why I wasted my utterly fabulous time on it. read more

In the very short time that this anime has to tell a story, it offers a small insight into the life of a girl who has a a typically shoujo-ai crush on her twin sister. It's sweet, cute and funny at times, thanks to the obsessive freshman, Sakuya, but, as expected, not much else comes from this ONA. Except for, you know, the Candy Boy anime series.

The art is great, and, apart from the adorable-but-leaves-you-high-and-dry gl which I'd like to see developed into something more, it's the biggest factor that makes me want to watch the follow-on series.

The characters are designed well physically, but their personalities are not overly shown because of the short time frame. I find them too linear and humdrum to take any real interest in them. Sakuya by far is the stand-out character for me, her few scenes honestly made me laugh. The twins, however, don't make me feel very much for them, but I suppose I do appreciate their cuteness.

Overall, this is a fair ONA. It's a definitely missable piece of shoujo-ai, unless you're a fan of the series already, but it won't waste your time because it doesn't take up much time at all in the first place. Watch for the fleeting "d'aww"s cause that's what you're gonna get.

where to start well the story contains yuri twincest which threw me a little bit off i mean i was expecting the yuri but not the twincest but i sat through till the bitter end and im happy i did.

to me this ONA is very good for starter yuri watchers as myself because unless your already into it you dont want to start watching yuri series off on something your not used to like girls madly making out with each other and taking off each others clothes... thats what i was a bit afraid of but instead this ONA slightly touched on the subject of girl love and how love is love no matter the gender and that really touched my soul because there are alot of homophobics in this world and i never understood why so i checked out this show of mere curiousity and i say that was 10min well spent
BTW FOR ALL THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THERE WAS NO STORY LINE HOW MUCH OF A STORY DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO SQUEEZE IN 10MIN!!!

overall 10/10 watch it i promise it will leave a tender sweet feeling in your heart

If your the type of person looking for yuri.. well this isn't exactly yuri.
Much more of a shoujo-ai.
But its very cute !
I haven't seen much girl/girl, but this is surely one of my favorites!

The characters are alright, dealing with a bit of a girl love triangle, two of which are twins. But in the end, its very sweet and will make you feel very happy inside after watching it. And of course, dying for more.

Hmmm.. what more can you say for a 7 1/2 minute anime?
