Koufuku Graffiti

Food porn? Yes! Cute girls? Yes! Great art design? Yes!

Simply put, Koufuku Graffiti's food porn was so good, that my face melted with my drools! If you like that feeling of being warmed up by delightful images of food or just watching an anime character take a bite of a cake or a salty but perfectly cooked dish? Koufuku Graffiti has that! Just not a cake, per se, but something delicious is about to happen if you sit down and watch!

My Koufuku Graffiti comrades would agree with me and not just because they like this anime, but because this anime was so greatly detailed ... on the design that our eyes can't get enough of it! Also, can we just take a minute to talk about the last few seconds of the anime! The transitioning to the next episode is just so cute, it's hard to take a moment and breath over it.

In the Masque of the Red Death by Poe, the chambers of the fortress make an erotic journey by which the antagonist-flow penetrates, slipping through like water pours through cracks in stone, following the channels and pathways set for it by what it invades. This anime does the same thing, using the social-cultural facts of food in order to be the linguistic-chambers of flow for the erotic flows of sexuality and romance which are shared by the two main characters. The food is obviously a metaphor for sex, pornographic shots of consumption and orgasmic expressions resulting. What's interesting isn't so much the fact of food ... being a metaphor for sex, but the fashion in which sex is related to the two characters. The characters share their experience culturally and socially, which provides the vehicles by which they share the erotic experiences. It's in this that we find the ultimate point of this series, the way in which *romance*, the cultural and social rituals, prepare the mind for a fully realized experience of desire, the fleshly-level emotion within it.

This being said, it felt overly long. This didn't need twelve episodes to get this point across. Very repetitious.
