A short but sweet show without any drama, comedy, ecchi, violence or epicness. So what's left to like, then? Well, a handful of cute characters, a couple of cute scenes, a cute moral or two, some cute music... Yeah, sorry, but when a show doesn't contribute more than "cute", I'm out. I don't mind slow slice of life anime, but there is a thin line between "slow slice of life" and "no story at all", and Candy boy ends up with the larger shoe on the wrong side of that line.
I have to admit it is a gorgeously looking anime, though. The artwork and character designs are simply stunning. Too bad it merely consists of still frames with the occational animated mouth thrown in. I would really like to see this kind of graphic style in a more fleshed out anime.
