Very nice and beautiful romantic yuri anime.
Good characters, great visuals, very beautiful yuri romance with touches, holding hands, sometimes kissing and with some comedy moments.
Also there is amazing atmosphere. "Its something that is impossible in modern anime, but a slightly noisy picture in 1024x576 resolution creates some incredible vibes of the 2000s atmosphere.
Btw this is anime of the 2000s: the style of clothes of that time, flip phones and all that, an ideal time capsule.
I would say that the whole anime feels like some kind of old pleasant memory, its even almost in sepia color (but maybe its just me or its because the graphics of this anime are not new or its about quality).
In other words, when watching it I have a strong feeling of nostalgia for moments that I did not…

FIRST OF ALL, if you are going to have a hang up that it's a fact that this is an incest focused show, you are going to be wrong. The fact that they are sisters really isn't of any relevance. Just get going on from the tunnel.
You can look at this from the outside. These two women are having a beautifully romantic relationship. It's something that many of us desire to have, but don't. The girls don't look alike, so that makes it even easier to believe they could be different from each other and have that good relationship as to independent people.
There are zero ecchi references and I can't think of a time a when there was a kiss between them. It shows the impact of their lives against what happens in real time and in good view.
This is an easy nine for me and I'll slap a recommend on…

I'll admit I had my degenerate reasons for wanting to watch a show about some yuri incest. In hindsight I can't look at this show and honestly say there is any artistic value in such a concept. I don't think that's why anybody watches stuff like this. It's like ecchi anime, you watch it because it's not technically hentai so you can justify to yourself that it's not that bad. This is like a step removed from that, it's not even ecchi anime. It just has girls kissing and holding hands and stuff. If you're a guy watching this you can lie to yourself and say stuff like "it's so sweet" or "romantic." We all know what you're really about, it's what I came here for, too.
Alright maybe I'm not being fair to the show. I like stuff like this when it's played for laughs. It can make for some good c…

TLDR at the bottom.
"I like you all the time since I was born.
For a long time...
and we stay together, forever..."
Candy Boy is something of a pleasant surprise. Intoxicated by exterior titles, I came into this series thinking none other than typical yuri. How wrong was I indeed, for Candy Boy doesn't follow such blasphemy, as instead, it is of an innocent bloom in this bizarre bouquet dubbed romance (specifically girls' love/yuri).
The premise of Candy Boy is simple, it follows two sisters and life. Really, that is all the anime spares. I suppose I could touch on the lifestyle these characters take as well, there is a lot of referring to family relationships and concreting the ties that behold the two parties. Candy Boy also makes use of "generic" s.o.l moments to hold together a sens…

Candy Boy's an easy series to miss because it's so short, but after watching it, I'm glad I stumbled upon it.
Story: Candy Boy's story is that we have a pair of twin fraternal sisters, Kanade (or Kana) and Yukino (Yuki), that live together in a dorm room for high school. The tricky part? They're actually very romantically interested in each other. They are very clearly dating from the start of this series. Kana and Yuki have a hard time finding time to be with each other, due to the constraints that come with being in high school. Together, they try and find time to both, be with each other, and solve each other's problems.
One very real strength of this series is that it tackles very real issues that come into play when one is furthering their education. You may wince at some of the sol…

I found Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life (or Candy Boy) from YouTube's recommendation tab. It intrigued me so I gave it a watch and I'm glad I did.
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 no…

*Spoiler warning!*
Plot 7/10 - The plot for the anime was fairly typical in a sense. Both Yuki and Kana showed obvious (non sisterly) feelings for each other and I loved the romantic moments they had. I feel like the pacing of there relationship was fairly good, but there were points where I feel like it went a little bit too slow, or a little bit too fast!
Art 7/10 - The art was very typical for Shoujo type anime back then, so there wasn't really anything standing out. The colors were bland most of the time but I didn't really hate that, I feel like it was actually pretty fitting. Overall, it was basic but good for what it was.
Sound 6/10 - Nothing particularly stood out to me, but I will say the voice actors felt very fitting for each character.
Personalities/Characters 6/10 - I fee…

{2021 Review} | Try giving it a shot (ノ●▿●)ノ|
It's been 11 years (2008) or should I say 13 years (2007) since the first ONA [Candy☆Boy: Side Story For Archive] was released for this series initial startup. As I finished watching the series it does really have an impact to the genre itself which is Romance, School, Shoujo Ai and a bit of Slice of Life. The Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life is without a doubt a wholesome, sweet and a heartwarming series that revolves unspoken feelings and approaches towards bond itself.
If you by any chance have come across to this anime searching for treasure like series in the past, I highly recommend to give it a try and watch it. It does not only give you a nostalgia feeling of the kind of anime back in 2007-2010, bu…

Candy Boy is really highly dependent to the watcher's preferences; I view this show as a Slice of life more than a Romance.
An enjoyable thing about this anime is really the main characters,
Kanade and Yukino. It is as the Title implies "the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life" if you see this as a Romance and expect Romance in this anime you'll probably just be bored out of your mind.
Try seeing this as A Slice of Life instead, you'll enjoy how the show portrays the Twin sisters, and the ending will be worth waiting for as you will finally see the scene that you are craving for.

Initially I thought that this anime was horrible but I had to change my mind. The story in general is very well managed and the characters are very interesting to follow. I could call it one of those few yuri that is worth seeing (as opposed to Citrus).
The romantic element of the story is very well managed and is not trivialized at all, in fact, I was almost surprised by the management of some scenes. However we are not talking about a perfect anime, obviously, it tends to be boring in some scenes but nothing serious. Personally I found the comic element of some scenes annoying, which seemed to me to be slightly forced. Kanade Sakurai is the one I prefer most among the twins, maybe because I find the character more interesting. But these are just personal tastes.
I was surprised that the…

Candy Boy is something I held off on reviewing until I had some time to sit down and really get my thoughts together about.
Simply put, Candy Boy is short and sweet.
Twin sisters are in the midst of their maturing relationship together, which borders sisterly love and a full blown incestuous relationship.
If you're uncomfortable with incest themes or relationships in anime I think Candy Boy would be a great place to start for people who want to try to be more open minded. After all, it's media.
The story isn't all that special. The girls have to juggle their individual responsibilities and try to find time to spend together while also discussing their own goals for the future and how they're going to make whatever this is work for them. There's absolutely no fanservice unless you count a…

Hi! Another Robert's Too Late reviews headed your way! Check the synopsis for the rundown of the general plot, and I actively try to avoid SPOILERS, but minor ones might slip through. Apologies if this happens. I'm for once working from the subbed version as none of the circles I run in to get my anime fix have a dubbed version. I've seen that this show has been rated highly in many reviews and for the life of me I cannot understand this. Why, there's not hardly any candy or boys, either one, in the entire series! As always, let's read to the end and find if there's any candy or boys either on the RTLR wall of fame, if its not immediately obvious. Let's break down why I'm recommending a pass on this.

This is a really good show that deserved much more attention.
Biggest problem would be the Run time. Each episode averages 15min with the 7th being around 20min. Only 7 episodes ( 8/9 if your want to count the prequel and special 8th episode) Show could have really done with longer episodes and the standard 12 episode per season.
The art style is really good for coming out around 10 years ago. It was around the time when what i call the 2006 animation was popular. It has a certain style and has fallen out of use today. But the animation takes the standard 2006 animation up a notch. By far the best show with the type of animation.
The characters are all pretty good. I like the harem the MC has going on even though she is very against it. The little sister is also kind of interesting.…

It's strange to see such a fanservicey premise of lesbian, incestuous twin sisters develop so tamely, without either fanservice or a dramatic analysis of incestuous love in modern day Japan. Candy Boy is the light-hearted, gentle paced, almost-YA romantic yuri anime you've yearned for...but with an abnormally short runtime, a stretched budget and a little bit of incest.
- Now, I want to make something clear before we go any further. I'm maybe a little bit grossed out by incest. Thinking about it rationally, I shouldn't be - what you do in your own time is your own business and I shouldn't judge. But it feels innate and I can't much help it. However, Candy Boy succeeded in never making me feel disgust; if anything, I was rooting for their relationship more than I ever expected. I can't gua…

Candy Boy is a cutesy coming-of-age love story between two girls who also happen to be sisters. While seemingly odd in concept, I grew to like the show and the oddly charming nature of the relationship between the two main characters.
As stated above, the story is centered around two girls, Yukino and Kanade, who are sisters. Due to a misunderstanding, Kanade confesses her love for Yukino who reciprocates her feelings. While the show focuses on their relationship, ultimately a large part of the story is about the issue of growing up, which in turn causes separation from those you care about. Because the issue of growing up is such a relatable concept, its hard not to cheer for these girls. All these girls want is to be together forever, though sometimes wishing isn't enough. The story end…

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.

In many ways this is a subdued yet sweet story of two sisters’ nourishing their budding romance. It never turns explicit, but instead moves slowly through everyday moments. It is easy to sense that the sisters relationship is a true progression built top of many years which allows their interactions to feel natural. Best of all is their banter, which is highly enjoyable, and feels like two siblings reminiscing and having fun together.
Like some slice of life shows Candy Boy meanders, but in a good way. The characters are school girls and so the story follows the trials and tribulations of their simple daily lives. There isn’t really much drama to speak of and it’s all about the fluff. The love that the two share is never clearly defined. It is suggested to be romantic in nature but the t…

This review will contain my opinion and that alone. As such it will be a most unformal, oral and not very informative review, as far as these things go. And keep in mind that your opinion and enjoyment will most likely differ from mine, if it doesn't then I'd like to talk to you cause you seem like my kind of person. Also remember that this is the internet, the wonderful land where something is either terrific or terrible, there is rarely room for any grey zone.
I'm just going to go right ahead and say that this anime is not one you should spend your time on, unless you're adicted to yuri and have scraped the bottom of the yuri genre, and even then I'm reluctant to recommend this as what you get is merely teasing of this incestuous relationship between these two sisters, and little else.…

This anime to me was amazing. The characters looked good and the art was good like basically everything was good was what I thought when I watched it. When I watched the first episode my heart was hurting since I felt jealous of how close the two sisters could be. They would hold hands every dang second, outside and inside and even sleeping.
As the anime went on I still really enjoyed it. I felt the pain the third sister was feeling and I could totally understood being left out. I almost even cried. They showed the emotions really well. Every now and then they have comedy going on.
If you like or want to watch something really sweet once in a while or if you like yuri then I would definitely recommend this one. It doesn't even matter if you like yuri, if you just like romance and those k…

This is a short tale of twin sisters who are quite obviously in love with each other, that’s right not like "love each other" but rather "in love with each other" hopefully you get the difference here otherwise the entire point of this anime will be lost on you. they have a little stalker fan girl who wants the one but they dont care and are always back in bed with each other at the end of the day.
Heres how this was pitched to me: a yuri romance involving twins. this is something which inspired perverse thoughts upon me in almost record setting time and now i feel terrible for that having now seen the entire thing. These girls just want to be together for the rest of their lives and damn it all if theyre siblings and it would count as incest(or in this unique case, "twincest") they just…
