It's such an interesting idea, Why not tell the events of 2 day, but from both sides of a couple, and see And see what's dramas and turmoil happened.

Tokyo Marble Chocolate, a short but interesting OVA about the views of two lovers that both encounter tragic events.
I must say, I am impressed by what this short OVA had to offer. I feel that the idea of the two views of each character was such a fascinating concept, I think that there are others like this but this is the first time I've seen it in a show. The first episode I'll admit is fine, it's decent but there was a bit of a head-scratching moment as not everything was explained from the female's point of view. But once the second episode showed the view of the male, everything sort of clicked with the first episode. I think that the studio did a pretty good job on these 2 episodes they have, while a part of me wishes for a more solid story, I do realize that 2 episodes are not a lo…

Even if Tokyo Marble Chocolate isn’t outstanding by any measure, it was a cute little anime, regardless.
Tokyo Marble Chocolate tells the story of a young couple consisting fo Yuudai and Chizuru. Both have been quite unlucky in the past when it comes to relationships. Yuudai’s negative trait is specifically being cowardly and mousy, while Chizuru is afflicted with rotten luck. Their date is suddenly halted when Yuudai gives Chizuru a present. To both of their shock, it’s a mischievous (and adorable) miniature donkey. The events surrounding this donkey brings the two lovers closer than before. Both episodes both portray the same two days, just with differing perspectives. The first episode is Chizuru’s perspective and the second is from Yuudai’s. Watching one won’t spoil the other, so the…

It’s hard to find a good Christmas themed anime, let alone Christmas anime all together. Often, if there is something set around Christmas time, it’s is a special episode or OVA of an already established series that takes place at or around Christmas, but rarely is there something original that is focused on Christmas from the get go. So it’s refreshing to get something like Tokyo Marble Chocolate that focuses on Christmas.
Based on a manga written and drawn by Fumiko Tanikawa, the anime follows two people who’ve had trouble dating in the past as their current relationship with each other strains as they try and figure out if the other one is their one true love. This OVA consists of 2 episodes, both involving the same events, but with each one told through the eyes of each our two main p…

When I read the synopsis on the plot I thought:"WTF". It sounded completely ludacris, but when I watched the show I found myself liking it. It was a short sweet love story told from both characters perspective.
Story: The story centers around a couple, where both have had troubles with earlier relationships, and both are anxious, trying to make their current one work. They hit a fork in the road, but manage to work it out. But I don't like the damn donkey.
Art & Sound: The art wasn't the best and a lot of things lacked in detail, but perhaps that's just how they wanted it, to center the attention on the main characters. The sound was good, but not great. There was nothing wrong with it and I liked the voice action, but there was nothing special to stand out.
Characters: As the OVA only sp…

The title definitely indicates the feeling that you get from watching this anime. When you read it you picture something sweet, warm and shiny. This anime makes you warm and fuzzy inside with the soothing colors and design and the 'lightweight' story.
Story : 5
I'm not into romance anime and girly, pink stuff. It is even worse when shy characters that cannot confess to each other are involved. This is exactly that kind of love story. A lot of misunderstandings and difficulties are present too, which made me impatient and irritated.
BUT these feelings of frustration were easily and soon extinguished due to the atmosphere and funny moments. Viewing the same story from different prospects was interesting too.

This was a very unique anime although I did find the story a little cliché. It had the typical story of two people who were unlucky in their previous relationships before getting together, having a crazy situations that can only happen in anime (ex. getting a mini-donkey instead of a rabbit), and misunderstandings due to a lack of communication. At the same time it was something that I haven't really encountered when watching anime. It had a unique style, a strange but endearing creature, a realistic depiction of the misunderstandings that can happen in relationships, and that they realized that what they previously thought they wanted was not what they needed.
-SPOILERS-
I believe that the ending was perfect for this story. Even though Yuudai never said I love you to Chizuru, I think sh…

This will be a short review; I did not want to but after watching it, I had to write one.
The story was short yet each scene was impactful. Though clichéd, every misunderstanding and accident was a succinct representation of the things that can go wrong in a relationship. The delivery method of separately showing each perspective of the couple was a refreshing change compared to the traditional methods. Due to the nature of the story and its short length, it is hard to describe the characters without revealing the plot. What I can say is that they are an average couple in love under not so average circumstances. This however does not diminish the story but complements its slightly bizarre plot and third character.
The hand-drawn watercolor art was warm and calm. The short instrumental p…

"Tokyo Marble Chocolate" is a very heart warming story of a woman and a man who believe in their hearts that they can never keep a relationship going.
Today is the day that they will confess all of their emotions to each other... But, there are a few problems. One being a miniature donkey.
Based off of the eponymous manga.
This story is told in a very unique and intelligent way, for the two days this film represents.
Episode 1 is from the View point of the woman.
Episode 2 is from the View point of the man.
There are details in either that make each episode make sense, this is a very well thought out script.
There's quite a bit of humor in the episodes as well, it's very cute.
You can watch either episode in whatever order you like, it doesn't matter. I actually think episode 2 would hav…

Spend a day or two with the weirdest creature you will see, all in the midst of your boyfriend/girlfriend problems. Anyone?
Tokyo Marble Chocolate is a two-part OVA that tells the story of Chizuru and Yuudai - unlike any other. It is their love story, seen through different eyes; first from the girl, then from the guy. Still, you can watch it any way you want: the episodes are interchangeable!
The two sides of this couple both got issues. Every single one of Chizuru's previous relationships were a failure, and she begins to question some of her insecurities. Yuudai is no better. Heck, one of his past girlfriends had more manly guts than he will ever have. Even so, they try to be in love again, and try, and try, and try some more - all the while burdened by their past mistakes.
When they…

I started watching Episode 1 yesterday, after reading the reviews for it first. But now having completed this short anime series. I am surprised at how amazing it was for something this short.
Story: 10/10
To me to storyline for this short anime was priceless. I love the idea of using realism and surrealism for this anime. That mini-donkey was a good key to add to the storyline. Watching episode 1 from the girl's point of view then episode 2 from the guy's point of view was a brillant thing to do!
Art: 9/10
I myself enjoyed the artwork alot, but it didn't get a 10. Since there were like two scenes that they showed them with really large ears. But other than that, it was a different style of anime I enjoyed.
Sound: 10/10
I think their voices suited the characters; the girl, the guy, and…

Tokyo Marble Chocolate is the kind of anime that makes me proud to be an anime fan. When shows like Queen's Blade and Ikkitousen are what the general public assumes all anime is, it's quite embarassing to say it's one of my hobbies. However, there are every so often artistically driven, well paced and just friendly and enjoyable productions that anyone can appreciate. In a weird way, TMC is what one could call a perfect mix of Disney magic storytelling and the best side of japanese "anime style" art.
Story; 7. This is probably the weakest point, but only because I've seen so many "aww" shows done before. And in itself it's a difficult genre to pump originality out of. However, what I can say is that the approach this story takes is very unique, telling it from the perspective of both prot…

Tokyo Marble Chocolate is your basic tried and true romance story about a young couple simply trying to confess their feelings for one another. Both have had terrible pasts with relationships, and hope that their present one will bear fruit. But confessing to one another is easier said than done for these two.......
Story: 10/10
Wonderful!!! Everything about it was so cute and heartwarming that I can’t express enough how it touched me. It does stay true to the whole "romance" theme, all the while adding in unique twists and misunderstandings that come with it. What really stood out for me the most was the fact that you get to experience it from both the male and female’s view point of the story. So while you get to see what one of them was doing during that day, you then get t…

This is one of the most unique anime experiences I have ever encountered. This should way of story telling should be done more often. Especially for love stories like this one. Tokyo Marble is basically a two episode ova about two I'll unlucky lovers who never seem to catch a break. One episode tells the girlfriends point of view and the other episode tells the boyfriend's point of view. But heres what makes this so great: both episodes are interchangeable. You can watch one and notice little details that the other OVA purposely leaves in or out. It's such a great mind trip because you actually feel like your experiencing what they're dealing with. Its almost really sad but the whole experience is just amazing that one has to watch it to truly understand how amazing just watching two episo…

Though i don't have any idea about this "Tokyo Marble Chocolate" except for the 2-part OVA, i really still fancied this anime. Before i just keep on criticizing a particular anime when it's art is like "old school" but now, having experienced to see this great love story shoujo anime, i have realized that the art doesn't matter, this made me change a lot because starting from now, i'm gonna browse on through the significance of the anime's story, not minding its art. Another thing that made me love this OVA so much is because of the song Mata Aimashou by SEAMO which is also one of my important basis in watching an anime--- its THEME SONG. The song really suited the OVA. And lastly, the OVA had a really unique,cool,cute,great and nice love story. So if u haven't watched this yet because jus…
