This eight-minute school romance OVA is as sweet as Valentine's Day chocolate.
Mahou no Chocolate was released as Naoya Ishikawa's graduation thesis at university. In his work, Naoya Ishikawa drew upon the appearance and certain other details of his own junior high school.
The story is typical for shoujo school romance. You could say we’ve seen it all before in anime from the 80s, yet this plot and these tropes remain widely used in anime to this day.
Mahou no Chocolate handles clichés skillfully and effectively. Just as Mami-chan, the heroine of this anime, managed to whip up delicious Valentine’s Day chocolate using what was likely store-bought chocolate as a base, Naoya Ishikawa succeeded in crafting a high-quality, enjoyable product by utilising the standard tropes of the school rom…

Mahou no Chocolate is a simple 8 minute short film about a girl who wants to give her Valentine's Day chocolates to a boy she likes. That is it. With a bland premise like that, how could this film possibly be worth watching when there are hundreds of deeper and more experimental short films out there? Well, let's find out.
As someone who grew up in the '00s, I spent a lot of my youth watching Flash animations on Newgrounds and YouTube. The thing that always drew me to these animations was the sense of passion and personality. Mahou no Chocolate is precisely that - a showcase of talent that shines through with some neat visual directing and lots of heart.
The visuals may seem primitive by today's standards. However, what you have to keep in mind is that this was all essentially a one-man…

Story: It's typical girl have a crush for a boy, who is famous in his school. On Sunday is Valentine's Day and Mami-chan want to give some chocolate to Ishida-senpai. But does she have enough courage to do that? It's pretty clished, but also really cute.
Art: It seemed like someone have just draw something using paint. So it's not really good, but it's in someway really cute and fits to story.
Sound: Character have good voice's. It fits fine by the characters and heard fine to me. There wasn't any background music, but it sounded good even without it.
Character: When this special takes time only nine minutes, watcher didn't get a good touch for characters. Mami-chan is cute and shy, Ishida famous and Koko-chan is a good friend. But they were also really cute and that's why I gave five p…

Well... mixed feelings on this one… I mean, I was expecting, considering it’s already just one episode, that it would be a bit longer than 8 minutes.
Mahou No Chocolate, or Magic Chocolate, is the typical story of a girl, crushing on a guy, who wants to ask him out. She’s given this chocolate believed to be magical and will allow her, upon giving it to him on Valentine’s Day, to win his heart. It’s plot was shallow and lacked greatly in any depth whatsoever, as did the transparent characters (there were few): Mami, the protagonist; Koko, Mami’s best friend; and Ishida, Mami’s desired love interest. And I suppose you can include Mami’s parents in the mix, or the loving fangirls of Ishida that you see for about 20 seconds as they eagerly shov…
