Story: 6/10
The story follows a magician-in-training, Cacao, who wakes up one day to find a beautiful girl sleeping next to him. He freaks out and she wakes up, introducing herself as Hinano, a marionette. The show basically follows the two and their friends dealing with various problems that arise in every episode that are loosely related but somehow they all fall into full circle, all while Hinano tries to win Cacao's love while Cacao isn't interested and obsesses over another thing (Sounds familiar?).
Art: 7/10
The art was pretty good considering that it was relatively ahead of its time before it became modern and the character designs are pretty eccentric enough to make cosplays out of them. They all looked nice and it fit well with their individual personalities.
Sound: 7/10
The OP is pretty catchy, especially with the way the singer says Chocolate. The EDs are really nice, with the first one having a slow, almost in a remembering type of song while the 2nd ED is fast-paced and is done to the style of Para Para. The show constantly uses a tropical-themed version of the OP throughout the episode which is pretty catch for my tastes.
Character: 6/10
The characters all pretty much named after a food or plant, and they pretty much follow a typical trope in anime: Cacao is a big eater who somehow gets drunk on chocolate all while ignoring Hinano's romantic advances, Hinano is the "magical girl" who loves Cacao despite his rejections, Deborah and Murakata are the romantic couple who go head-over-heels for each other, Truffle is the spoiled rich guy trying to win the attention of Hinano, and there are other characters who stereotype some other anime tropes.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The show is pretty much filled with cheesy moments that made me groan, but at the same time smile for how silly the jokes and scenes are. It wasn't necessarily funny, but it wasn't boring. It just made me smile for its silly scenes, where, as an example, one of the "villains" and their sidekick is too silly that you can't take them seriously.
Overall: 7/10
This is one of the series that I had fun watching, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. I recommend this if you have nothing to watch or you just want something silly to watch. As I said, I see this as a loose parody of Urusei Yatsura, and boy did it try to parody it.
