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

I've never seen anything like this show. It's not as though I haven't seen many anime, nor as if I've seen a lot. The thing about shows like this is that you can only watch them the first time once. Savor every second of it.

I watched this because I wanted to check out P.A. Works' earlier output. When P.A. is bringing it, they're absolutely one of my favorite studios.
Getting down to the anime: In terms of harems, this probably takes itself more seriously than most of what I've seen. Given that there's no source material, this anime manages to not lose itself too much. I think you kinda know how it's gonna go down, but it's still nice to see just how it concludes itself. To the people who pick the wrong girl: you will probably be annoyed. You may also be endeared to or annoyed by a ... |
