Ojisan to Marshmallow

Even though these episodes may be "marshallow" sized, every second of each episode is packed with hilarity, suggestive innuendos, misunderstandings, workplace sexual harrassment and a genuine feeling of heart.

Hige-san is an overweight office worker for a "web-related company" (actual name of it, no joke) and he has an obsession for marshmallows, a trait which is further examined in episode 4. He works along Wakabayashi-kun, a 24 year old female office worker who has a similar obsession with marshmallows, AND Hige-san.

Wakabayashi is attracted to Hige and orchestrates several situations in which they can get closer. The punchline is, Hige-san is a very introverted and polite older ... man, completely oblivious to Wakabayashi's advances, which creates many hilarious misunderstandings and eventually boils down to the two of them consuming bags of marshmallows.

The side characters are few and kinda forgetful. Wakabayashi's two female work friends turn up in a few episodes and say a few things without really leaving an impact, and Wakabayashi's brother has only just come into the series recently. But without a doubt, the stand out character in this series so far (apart from the main characters) is the Section Chief. He is hilarious and becomes completely content with the misunderstandings taking place. But you'll find out more about that when you watch the show.

UPDATE: A new challenger for Hige-san's affection approaches! Hijinks ensue! And she has a Kansai accent! Kawaii!

This is such a sweet and innocent story, and at only 3 minutes a piece, they are delightful to binge with only a short amount of time.

I look forward to seeing how this show progresses.

Ojisan to Marshmallow is basically 3 minutes of compressed greatness. This anime was full of plottwists, comedy and romance. This is pretty much a work of art. This was a blessing from the fairy.

My feelings while watching this, were like wave going up and down a stream of marshmellows. I was bouncing up and down my chair of excitement like a marshmellow. My heart was melting like a marsmellow on top of a fire.

This anime was able to provide a story and various genres in 3 minutes.You can watch this whole series in about 36 minutes, but it seems like an eternity of joy.

To ... summerize my review in one word 'G.O.A.T.

Thank you based marshmellow fairy.

We all love unique animes! They give us a new kind of excitement, joy and unexpected plots, and Ojisan to Marshmallow is one of them. I mean, who else write stories where marshmallows are at the center of almost every events?

Hige-san is a large office man who has an obsession with marshmallows to the point that seeing one could be enough to make him distracted and excited. Little does he know that the office lady named Wakabayashi also has an obsession... with HIM.
Wakabayashi uses the marshmallows to get closer to Hige-san and try to form a relationship together. She may even try to seduce him ... with them. Altough he always take the bait, he gets excited over the marshmallows instead of her, which leads to hilarious misunderstandings! Soon, other side characters will get involved, making this anime more interesting and funny every new episode.

Ojisan to Marshmallow is a straight comedy/slice of life anime which is why it doesn't have an actual story so far. It's also around 3 minutes long each episode and that's a little disappointing. But don't let that hinder you from getting a good laugh from it! It's a perfect anime at times when you're feeling a bit down or when you're bored. It cheers you up quickly and you'll have a big smile after it ends.

It's also educational! It teaches you all about marshmallows and at the end of each episode, there will be a short video of ways to cook marshmallows named "Factory senpai and kouhai's 20seconds Super Marshmallow cooking"! So why not try to cook marshmallows too with them?

I had second thoughts about Ojisan to Marshmallow and probably many of you thinks the same right now, but I don't think you should judge it just because of the length, characters and genre.
It's such a hilarious but innocent story and I recommend this to all of you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to wait until next episode arrives!

Ojisan to Marshmallow is in a word: Marshmallow

It lives up to it's title in the fact that it is cute and fluffy. Not much story, but the characters are fun. Episodes are short, and who new all the possible innuendos that could come from just eating a bag of marshmallows?

The only thing I do not like about this anime is the little weird live-action marshmallow recipe thing that's at the end of each episode. It does not add anything to the anime as a whole and it's rather annoying. However, since it's at the end of the episode it's very easy to avoid.

Overall, I ... give this anime an 8 because while it has me laughing throughout every episode, it's not an anime that I am just dying to watch week to week.

This is honestly the greatest anime I have ever watched in my life.
The story line is top notch.
The art belongs in a museum and for it to have granted its presence on my retinas leaves me eternally grateful.
The sound, is sweeter than honey and it gave me cavities.
The characters, were so well put together I found myself yearning for more.
This anime was so enjoyable that it put a shimmer of light into my dark and dreary life.
Overall, I fell in love with this anime and given the chance it should do the same to you.

Ojisan to Marshmallow is a well thought out anime with the purpose of giving joy to people and their lives. I used to be suicidal and constantly have thoughts of depression until I watched this anime. It has saved my life when I felt that all I could see and feel were pain and struggle. I'm glad to recommend this to many people as this anime is very soul warming and helps promote efforts against cancer. My friend was also at a hard point in his life, his name is Spudds. He never thought he could enjoy life as much anymore after his recent events ... in his life that forced him to change his thought process. Gratefully, this anime fixed his problems, and all of mine.

I had such an absolutely fantastic time watching this anime, I started watching it because I wanted something short to enjoy whilst I ate my dinner, I did not expect to fall in love with such a short anime.

The characters are perfectly matched, the story is simple yet digestible and there are more than a few laughs to be found in this anime.

Ojisan to Marshmallow somehow managed to condense perfect story telling down into three minute segments, you really have nothing to lose watching this, a lot of the enjoyment to be found here is in the characters and their interactions with each ... other, so do keep that in mind, there's also a little fan service, which is never a bad thing in small doses.

You really have nothing to lose by watching this anime, please give it a go!

Not having seen many short series besides Plastic Nee-san and Seki-kun, I figured I was in for something as similarly off-the-wall like those two shows.

The namesake oji-san is probably the most pure and innocent character in the show. His only real love is for marshmallows. Knowing this, his coworker schemes for his attention.

It's her efforts that form the main entertainment value of this little show. The voice actress's dry delivery of the lines helps very much. Don't get it mixed up; she is very much in love with this marshmallow man, and we get to see her clever to clumsy efforts to get his ... attention for 12 episodes in various settings and a rival thrown in for good measure.

You should watch this show because it will make you a better person and you'll learn a little bit more about marshmallows. Eat s'mores while watching.

If you come to this anime carrying the right mentality it will be very good. If you're stressed and want to relax, sad, worried about something, its really meant for you.

Watching it is like taking a cup of hot chocolate or tea in a cold day and getting under some blankets to watch something;

It can remind you of some of the pureness and ingenuity the real world has to offer. Overall its a cute anime meant to warm your heart, it does not try to be anything more than that, and that is fine. The characters have some depth on them and will leave you ... wondering how their life went on.

Its biggest strengths may be its 3 minutes run time, watching it will feel like meeting someone on a bus stop, hearing about a small bit of their life and never seeing them again, wondering about possibilites, where they came from, and were they're headed, but overall happy that something, even if extremely small, was added to your life.

"Please lick, suck, bite, and do anything you'd like with my you-know-what."

Ojisan to Marshmallow is perhaps one of the most underappreciated anime of the year. From the first episode it's easy to tell that the anime is something special, and its three-minute time limit actually enhances it by having the show have many quick gags and situational comedy situations.

The characters are all very likable (even the "antagonist" of sorts that shows up three-fourths of a way through the show) and all adults, something we don't see enough of in anime.

The majority of the show's comedy comes from marshmallows, which you'd think would wear thin after ... a while, but alas, Ojisan to Marshmallow manages to make every good gag and sexual innuendo out of marshmallows possible while still remaining charming and not feeling stupid/corny.

The voice actress for the main female character Iori (Eri Kitamura) really deserves some kind of award for the amount of character and emotion she put into Iori's voice. It's possible a lot of anime fans have only heard her in supporting roles before, but if you ask me she deserves more main roles. The scene in the second episode in which she does these monotone-yet-pleasured sounding fake sexual moans was hilarious.

In conclusion, Ojisan to Marshmallow is the best anime about marshmallows of all time, and among my favorite short series I've seen. I highly recommend it, because what else are you doing? This will take less than an hour. Put the doujin down and spend a little time with this quirky comedy.

This is a simple, comedic show about a clueless dude who loves marshmallows and Iori, his coworker who wants to be more than just coworkers. In each episode, which is typically under three minutes, we find Hige in various situations where he ends up being teased by Iori, who always seems to have a bag of marshmallows on hand. The simplicity of the situation combined with the relatable and comedic circumstances makes for a pretty good viewing; you can't help but feel for Iori who can't muster up the courage to ask Hige out, relegating herself to teasing him with marshmallows.

Among 4-koma type shows, this ... is up there along with Dannaken- definitely give it a try!

Animation:
You really aren't supposed to expect too much in this category from 4-koma shows. This show follows the trend of having a simplistic overall look with fairly bright coloring. The characters aren't the most expressive out there, especially since Hige is a bit of a dunce and Iori is a kuudere. Despite the childish nature of the marshmallow theme, there are some scenes that will make more sense for teenagers and above. I think I only recall one scene being lightly censored.

Sound:
There's no OP but a multitude of EDs (I counted six?) by Eri Kitamura and Kana Hanazawa. Both Message and Labyrinth are the main EDs that you'll hear repeatedly. They're playful and short so it's not hard to add on the extra thirty seconds. The BGM is fair but nothing memorable.

As for VAs, well you have Eri Kitamura and Kana Hanazawa (hearing her sing "I'm an idol" is somewhat funny at multiple levels), enough said. Expect a great performance overall from the cast, especially our star veterans.

Story:
So Hige is a kind-hearted but unfathomably dense man, who can't figure out that Iori, his coworker, really likes him; despite her trying to show it at every turn- mostly in a respectable fashion, not like in B Gata H Kei. There isn't anything really complicated about the plot, the only tension being Iori's rival showing up halfway through the show. This tease will consume a total of just over thirty minutes and contains quite a few good laughs and a few rather touching moments; yes you'll get more in this 4-koma than you will from your run of the mill full-length comedic harem.

Character:
Given the length of the show, you can't really expect much dynamic character development. That said, the interactions overall were enjoyable and more believable than some standard shonen harems. I'm not sure that the "cooking with marshmallows" episode add-ons were all that valuable, so unless you want to see Hige in real life trying to stuff his mouth with marshmallow-based concoctions you can skip this.

Value:
If you're looking for a short show with a good dosage of relationship-based comedy, this is an easy recommendation. Though it doesn't go as deep as Dannaken, this is a fun watch with likeable characters.

Hilarious show.
One of the best short length anime out there. Whenever you're feeling down or are in a bad mood then this is the show that will cheer you up. A feel good anime that gives you just the right amount of humor to start you're day off and also have you falling in love with marshmallow :)

Though the art or anime style might not be the best, the situational humor will be sure to keep your eyes glued to the screen wondering how many funny situations the writers can come up with about a fat guy who just loves his marshmallows and ... a cute female character who for some reason likes the fat dude.

I feel the show is a bit underrated and don't know why it isn't popular.

I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

A sweet comedy that will make you smile.
Ah ... Where to start, we are facing a sweet romantic comedy in which our protagonists will be Hige and Wakabayashi, Hige is a lover of Marshmallows / Clouds, while on the other hand Wakabayashi is a lover of chubby and reliable people like our dear Hige.

And so Wakabayashi will use any method to make Hige-San notice her and that no one else tries to take it from her.

It should be noted that it is a miniseries, so its chapters are very short, but this series is not for that reason underestimated, as it is full of humor ... and sweetness.

Español
Una dulce comedia que te hará sonreír.
Ah ... Por dónde empezar, nos encontramos ante una dulce comedia romántica en el cual nuestros protagonistas serán Hige y Wakabayashi, Hige es un amante de los Malvaviscos / Nubes, mientras que por otro lado Wakabayashi es amante de las personas rechonchitas y confiables como nuestro querido Hige.

Y es así que Wakabayashi utilizará cualquier método para hacer que Hige-San se fije en ella y que ninguna otra persona intente arrebatárselo.

Cabe destacar que es una miniserie, por lo que sus capítulos son muy cortos, pero no por eso mismo se debe subestimas a esta serie, pues está llena de humor y dulzura.

As for this review i want to mention that im don't want to present the characters personalities i let yall discover that on your own


as you can read from the Title this anime is very intresting for the fact that marshmallows are the protagonist (this is obviously a joke ) as we know from the Title Marshmallows are the pin point of this anime the Character interaction with each other its fun to see how some marshmallows can bring so many feelings and complexion to the story even tho the episodes are 3 min they feel like an eternity of eventss hapening i might ... be trippin (common term used to for overreacting as you might know ) but there is some disliking to it like the outro being like almost half of the episoodes (not kidding) its also common that the story has a lot interactions that might as well not be there for the sake of myy sanity but overall this anime has quite the liking to it so please consider watching you could easily watch the whole anime in 36 min.
