To be honest, at this point I am disappointed in the show..
Aw man, I remember all the hype you had going into this show.
It's ok, I didn't have high expectations going in so at least I'm not that disappointed.
Well, I was really hyped about the art and character design, but it is not enough to pull the show through whole season.

Agreed. Hotaru, or at least her design, is probably the most interesting thing about this show for me. Everything else feels really bland, even with the unique artstyle. I wouldn't call the anime bad by any means though. Perhaps it just wasn't what we were expecting.

Pretty much as boring as the first three episodes. Even Hotaru is starting to become boring.

...I don't know what to say about this episode.

I don't understand the need to tie up the hands.

every fugashi has different size, if you can touch you can understand brand fugashi.


I don't understand why they have to eat the Glico in order to run.

Throughout the whole episode, I was like... OK.


Glico man is Glico ICON it's a runnig man, with candy you "insert" energy needs for run. :-P

BTW: In Japan this anime ranking is #1 now. And today dagashishop :-PPPP

You can just feed the person. The person just have to put his hand behind his back or inside his pocket or something. Just don't allow the person to touch the fugashi. There is no need to tie up the hands.

I know it is sort of an energy candy, but you don't really need it to run, though it would help. I felt it was a bit strange when Kokonotsu said he could not run without it.

It #1 in Japan? That's a surprise. I don't really understand Japanese snacks. Listening to all these explanations by Hotaru was really confusing and strange. Maybe I should try them when I visit Japan.

That's the whole point of the joke! You could run anyway, but they were exaggerating the drama especially with the sacrifice from Hotaru to keep Kokonotsu going.

The fugashi tasting contest was fun to watch.
Lol all the lewd comments.
Kokonotsu's dad walking in on him tied up and blindfolded was so funny.
We need to see more of him.
The run to get the notebook from the candy shop to the cafe was fun to see.
Too bad Saya found the sketches in the end.

Humm, you must be a lot of fun at parties....

It is not an "energy candy", it's a marketing slogan. No athlete in the world would eat glico caramels in order to run, but that was the way it was marketing back in the 1930s. Based on this Glico created the "Glico Man" as a marketing trademark, and this has become one of the most iconic billboards in all of Japan (so iconic that it is often used in movies to explain that a scene is taking place in Osaka, only the moving crab is as nearly iconic).

So the humor of the episode was that Hotaru used a marketing slogan as fact and both characters got so excited about it. The humor lies in their taking things to the extreme (which of course also was part of their tying the hands and having Hotaru eating the long, pink, thing with such a satisfying look as Kokonotsu rammed it down her throat saying "take this, take this").

You can read this if you want to know more about the Glico man, but yes everything they referenced actually was part of the marketing campaign.

Episode lot of fun, this plot is really hilarious, I laughed a lot, especially with Hotaru and Kokonotsu throwing the fugashis in each other's mouths, besides Hotaru was fine with ponytail, I'm looking forward to the next episodes ..

Damn! Ponytails are the best! Hotaru looks sekushi cute with that ponytail! Thanks to first Shirayuki and now Hotaru, I think I've found a fondness for ponytails.

The first half was good. Putting big cylindrical shaped objects in their mouths while blindfolded with hands tied behind....
Had some suggestive moments for sure. Lol when You-san entered and thought that there was some S & M play going on.

The second half, for some reason, felt a bit down. I'm not sure why. Its had a rather stupid idea of using candies like energy boosts, I'm not sure if candies can work that way lol. It didn't quite feel upto the mark, the latter half. Not funny enough. But oh well, ponytail Hotaru sure made up for it.

W-What a suggestive episode.. But I must admit, Hotaru is a really fun person to be around. She reminds me of Haruhi, but weirder, and obsessed with candy. Rip Kokonotsu at the end. The art of this show is amazing.

Wow this episode was good, the Hotaru-ness was all around to see. I really love this girl, she's awesome. So much lewdness Ayame could be pleased.

I was totally lost with the running part. I really did not get any of the math employed. The only thing I got though is that they both suck at running. THAT ending of the episode though.

Nice the first part of the narrative, with the discussion of Fugashi, even the second part looks good, but the reasons are different, there the fun thing to be found in the nonsense put to justify what is done. Drawings and animations good, not bad the glimpse scenographic, but I would like more pictures of the place. Hotaru is the best so far, Koko in lifts, now there are only Saya and the rest.

The first half with that bondage stuff and Hotaru eating that long, pink fugashi was... suggesting.

The second with Kokonotsu and Hotaru trying to reach to Saya and Tou's cafe was better, but poor Kokonotsu, his efforts and Hotaru's sacrifice were in vain :(

Hotaru is lucky that Coconuts is your traditional beta anime lead. Another man might have not been able to resist a tied up Hotaru-chan.

Also that ponytail. It looked so good that it was positively criminal.

Another halarious episode with some suggestive fan service and overly dramatic situations. The first part had me literally looking around to make sure none of my family would walk in on that its so big, not so rough scene, like seriously Hotaru do you know what you are doing to Kokonotsu and us viewers! The second half was funny because well come on all that over dramatic you can do it Kokonotsu, run Kokonotsu, had me laughing at how they made it for him to go so far just for Saya to end up seeing his notebook and well beating poor Kokonotsu up. I can't wait to see what they have stored for us in the next episode!

Here is my full review on the episode:

Good to see Kokonotsu himself is allready as nutsu as Hotarou.

He accepted that contest way too greedily and went all in on the caramel drama too.

Also the fathers reaction when he found him blindfolded.


I was actually betting on Saya walking in when he was stuffing Hotarou with that big fugashi.

Stark700 said:
LOL, what. Hotaru with funny looking visors on her face.


I don't think that was an actual (kinky) blindfold or a visor. It rather looked like one of those sleeping-aids you get on airliners XD

When this show started, I thought Hotaru’s a kind of funny, quirky character, and maybe she’d work better in a different show, but man they’ve been trying to change my opinion of her.

Ever since she’s just been a bland mouthpiece for dagashi, that the writers desperately want us to jerk off to.

I think “Candy Wars” was probably this show’s last attempt at a joke.
