TL;DR at the bottom of the review.
Story - 7
Candy Boy offers a light-hearted and simple story about, accurate to the title, nonchalant talk of certain twin sisters in daily life. Literally all you watch is the twin sisters (and sometimes the side characters, too) have conversation about random things. Sounds boring? If you think it's boring, then you're wrong. I don't know how they managed to make a show about nonchalant talks to be intriguing and interesting, but it definitely is. If you're considering to watch this and expecting a ton of kiss scenes, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. This is not about that; it's about twin sisters.
Art - 7
The art looks a little too, understandably, old since it's a 2008 anime, but it is by no mean bad. Expect a KissxSis level of art style and you won't be disappointed. A pet peeve of mine is that the twins don't look their age. As in they don't look like they are high school girls; they look more like college students. I even got confused on the first two minutes but other than that, no issue.
Sound - 7
Nothing too outstanding from the sound department. Their voices match their characters and feel natural. That's about it.
Characters - 7
Honestly when it comes to characters, Candy Boy does not bring a lot to the table. Most of them, if not all of them, are very simple and don't have many traits to them. However, there are moments when a character shines the most and we get to see her 'unique' sides. Almost like a character development but for a short period of time.
Enjoyment - 9
All the 7's I gave doesn't reflect how much I enjoy watching this series. For enjoyment, I thoroughly enjoyed every episode and could only hope that an episode would last longer or the series had more episodes. It felt too short and totally deserves more.
Overall - 8
In conclusion, Candy Boy is a great series and deserves to get a sequel. I recommend this series for those who enjoy Shoujo Ai or those who don't. You won't be able to tell the difference between this and non Shoujo Ai anime.
TL;DR
No convoluted plot, characters are likeable, even if you don't enjoy the Shoujo Ai genre you should try this anyway. It doesn't feel like watching one so don't worry.
