Don't be fooled by the lame name. This is pure yuri/lesbian goodness! Candy Boy was originally a one episode original net animation made to promote a song of the same name but the anime's popularity led to more episodes being produced. The series itself has 7 episodes and 2 direct to DVD extra episodes for a total of 10. Due to the fact that this is a net animation the episodes run from 7-15 minutes with the final episode going for 20 minutes. The story follows the yuri romance between fraternal twin sisters Kanade and Yukino Sakurai. Kanade is the youngest of the two but is often more mature and level headed and serious. She still more often than not fantasizes about Yukino or both of them together. Yuki is the oldest but is more free spirited, peppy and a little ditzy. She loves Kana with all her heart and soul and will do anything for her. She often tries to manipulate Kana into doing perverted things to her such as trying to get kisses from Kana, or getting her to sleep with her longer in the mornings. :D

As they spend there days in high school they deal with issues surrounding there more-than-sisterly feelings for one another, as well as fellow classmate Sakuya Kamiyama, who has strong romantic(and perverted) feelings for Kana as well as the feelings of there youngest sister Shizuku Sakurai. Shizuku herself is well aware of her sister's relationship and thus feels left out and alone without them.

While not the deepest anime there is Candy Boy is still a great slice-of-life yuri show any and all yuri fans should see! The characters are cute, beautiful, and funny and really have great and likable personalities. The animation of the series is also outstanding due to the short format of the series! They clearly spent a ton of money making this anime! The voice acting can not be better! All the characters are really brought to life buy there respective voice actresses! This is one fine looking, great sounding yuri series! Sadly it is not available outside of Japan. :( All yuri fans should do themselves a favor and watch this awesome yuri show!
The dynamic between these two is both adorable and hilarious! Feel that sisterly love Yukino! :P
Dat hand-holding!
Sakuya's love/obsession with Kana is just too damn awesome! :D
Go for it Kana! You know you want to!
Sakuya's perversion knows no bounds! :D
Kana herself can have some pretty perverted thoughts too! ;)

HNNNNNGGGG! >.<
Candy Boy score: 9/10
There is my first review! I hope you all enjoyed it! Look forward to a game review tomorrow! Fell free to comment below! :)
Your review is pretty spot on. This is quite a fluffy anime. Anyone who enjoys any type of yuri content should check this out. However I have to disagree with you on one point; the animation.
ReplyDeleteWhile it is true that the art is gorgeous, the animation itself feels half-assed sometimes. What you get sometimes is static shots with the camera panning in the guise of movement. This happens a lot especially when they are in public places like the mall or the train station. I got used to it though.
Anyone who wants to check this out be sure to look for the Frostii subs I find their release to be the better of the versions that are out there.
From FanBoy: Thanks for the comment! glad you enjoyed the review! :) and i do agree with you to some degree. they could have added more animation, movement to the characters. But as it is for me, the characters are still awesome and the art is amazing! :D
