Is A Man Not Entitled To His Marshmallow?
Ojisan and Marshmallow Is a show about a man who just want to be left alone and enjoy his marshmallow, but one woman just can't stop trying to converse him with bribery, to go out with her.
It is in truth a horror story, because could you imagine a woman, always trying to get you with her sweet sweet sugar pillows. It's a nightmare, to be objectified in that way, that she just want to touch your sweet sweets soft body.
The moment a woman in love smells a man's weakness, she will exploit it to its fullest, to find the quickest way to a man's heart.
The show is just like marshmallows, it's puffy, It's sweet, It goes down and you will forget about it, soon after you ate it.

Ojisan and Marshmallow is about two office workers. Iori Wakabayashi who loves her co-worker Habahiro Hige. But Habahiro loves marshmallows.
Iori does every thing to get his attention. But the only way she can get him to look at her with bright shining eyes is to dangle marshmallows at him.
Habahiro is oblivious to Iori's feelings.
And Iori is really cute (and sexy) when trying to get his attention.
The anime is full of sex innuendos as people misunderstand what is going on between these two.
Each episode is like 4 minutes long. But it works in the anime's favor. The jokes are short and sweet. The story doesn't drag like a boring rom com.
Iori is definitely "best girl" material. With her kuudere personality.

This is a wholesome anime that is a great binge watch if you're in the mood.
It's about an overweight man named Hige and his coworker Wakabayashi who both have a deep love for marshmallows. Yes, it is literally the one thing they have in common. The show follows them as they explore their love for the treat in different ways. The viewer also quickly discovers that there may be some feelings felt by Wakabayashi for Hige as well. I particularly liked this because it is incredibly rare to find an anime with an overweight character who is viewed as desirable and not as ugly or a buffoon. There are definitely some sweet moments in the show that will make the viewer smile or go 'awww'. It also has quite a few funny moments as it is a comedy anime, after all. I liked Wakabayashi's brother and f…

No idea what I just watched but I think I liked it!
Once in a blue moon the Crunchyroll site recommends something I haven't already seen.
The episodes were short, something like 3 minutes but they managed to fit in just enough things in one episode to feel like I was watching something that was progressing. Even tho the point of this show is definitely not to present a linear (or even coherent) storyline.
I like how the characters are written, but I didn't like how they were designed. The art style is shit. And the whole production quality is quite low so visually nothing to get excited about.
I have no idea who this show is aimed at?! It has ecchi qualities so I was thinking this was aimed at young adults maybe? But then again the whole scheme looks and feels like a bit too childish…

If you come to this anime carrying the right mentality it will be very good. If you're stressed and want to relax, sad, worried about something, its really meant for you.
Watching it is like taking a cup of hot chocolate or tea in a cold day and getting under some blankets to watch something;
It can remind you of some of the pureness and ingenuity the real world has to offer. Overall its a cute anime meant to warm your heart, it does not try to be anything more than that, and that is fine. The characters have some depth on them and will leave you wondering how their life went on.
Its biggest strengths may be its 3 minutes run time, watching it will feel like meeting someone on a bus stop, hearing about a small bit of their life and never seeing them again, wondering about possibilites,…

As for this review i want to mention that im don't want to present the characters personalities i let yall discover that on your own
as you can read from the Title this anime is very intresting for the fact that marshmallows are the protagonist (this is obviously a joke ) as we know from the Title Marshmallows are the pin point of this anime the Character interaction with each other its fun to see how some marshmallows can bring so many feelings and complexion to the story even tho the episodes are 3 min they feel like an eternity of eventss hapening i might be trippin (common term used to for overreacting as you might know ) but there is some disliking to it like the outro being like almost half of the episoodes (not kidding) its also common that the story has a lot interactions that mi…

A sweet comedy that will make you smile.
Ah ... Where to start, we are facing a sweet romantic comedy in which our protagonists will be Hige and Wakabayashi, Hige is a lover of Marshmallows / Clouds, while on the other hand Wakabayashi is a lover of chubby and reliable people like our dear Hige.
And so Wakabayashi will use any method to make Hige-San notice her and that no one else tries to take it from her.
It should be noted that it is a miniseries, so its chapters are very short, but this series is not for that reason underestimated, as it is full of humor and sweetness.

I had such an absolutely fantastic time watching this anime, I started watching it because I wanted something short to enjoy whilst I ate my dinner, I did not expect to fall in love with such a short anime.
The characters are perfectly matched, the story is simple yet digestible and there are more than a few laughs to be found in this anime.
Ojisan to Marshmallow somehow managed to condense perfect story telling down into three minute segments, you really have nothing to lose watching this, a lot of the enjoyment to be found here is in the characters and their interactions with each other, so do keep that in mind, there's also a little fan service, which is never a bad thing in small doses.
You really have nothing to lose by watching this anime, please give it a go!

Overall - 5:
I enjoyed this anime to a certain extent. There were many times that the show felt repetitive or certain jokes just didn't work. Most of the time the show was a little charming and a bit interesting, but nothing spectacular. Because it was so short it didn't overstay its welcome.
Story - 5:
There were a couple times where this show made me laugh, but those mostly happened in the beginning of the series, I fell like the overall story either didn't allow for much development or they just didn't handle the development of it very well. Particularly the introduction of a love triangle just made it feel like it was going to turn into a harem anime for no real reason.
Art - 5:
Standard anime art, nothing spectacular.
Sound - 4:

Ojisan to Marshmallow is a well thought out anime with the purpose of giving joy to people and their lives. I used to be suicidal and constantly have thoughts of depression until I watched this anime. It has saved my life when I felt that all I could see and feel were pain and struggle. I'm glad to recommend this to many people as this anime is very soul warming and helps promote efforts against cancer. My friend was also at a hard point in his life, his name is Spudds. He never thought he could enjoy life as much anymore after his recent events in his life that forced him to change his thought process. Gratefully, this anime fixed his problems, and all of mine.

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Ojisan to Marshmallow contains, not surprisingly, a lot of marshmallows.
I recently purchased some. The multicolored, multiflavored kind. I’m actually eating them as I type out this paragraph. The anime inspired me to pick them up from the grocery store to see what all the hubbub was about.
After eating a few handfuls, I am not too keen on having more. While it’s watching instead of eating, the same can be said of Marshmallow.
STORY
Marshmallow is as long as marshmallows are short. At about three minutes an episode, the anime has little time to create a simple and sweet show.
As such, it targets three separate yet unified angles: comedy, romance, and lewdness. Everything wrapped together by white-and-tasty mar…

Hilarious show.
One of the best short length anime out there. Whenever you're feeling down or are in a bad mood then this is the show that will cheer you up. A feel good anime that gives you just the right amount of humor to start you're day off and also have you falling in love with marshmallow :)
Though the art or anime style might not be the best, the situational humor will be sure to keep your eyes glued to the screen wondering how many funny situations the writers can come up with about a fat guy who just loves his marshmallows and a cute female character who for some reason likes the fat dude.
I feel the show is a bit underrated and don't know why it isn't popular.
I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

"Please lick, suck, bite, and do anything you'd like with my you-know-what."
Ojisan to Marshmallow is perhaps one of the most underappreciated anime of the year. From the first episode it's easy to tell that the anime is something special, and its three-minute time limit actually enhances it by having the show have many quick gags and situational comedy situations.
The characters are all very likable (even the "antagonist" of sorts that shows up three-fourths of a way through the show) and all adults, something we don't see enough of in anime.
The majority of the show's comedy comes from marshmallows, which you'd think would wear thin after a while, but alas, Ojisan to Marshmallow manages to make every good gag and sexual innuendo out of marshmallows possible while still remaining charm…

This is honestly the greatest anime I have ever watched in my life.
The story line is top notch.
The art belongs in a museum and for it to have granted its presence on my retinas leaves me eternally grateful.
The sound, is sweeter than honey and it gave me cavities.
The characters, were so well put together I found myself yearning for more.
This anime was so enjoyable that it put a shimmer of light into my dark and dreary life.
Overall, I fell in love with this anime and given the chance it should do the same to you.

Ojisan to Marshmallow is basically 3 minutes of compressed greatness. This anime was full of plottwists, comedy and romance. This is pretty much a work of art. This was a blessing from the fairy.
My feelings while watching this, were like wave going up and down a stream of marshmellows. I was bouncing up and down my chair of excitement like a marshmellow. My heart was melting like a marsmellow on top of a fire.
This anime was able to provide a story and various genres in 3 minutes.You can watch this whole series in about 36 minutes, but it seems like an eternity of joy.
To summerize my review in one word 'G.O.A.T.
Thank you based marshmellow fairy.

Not having seen many short series besides Plastic Nee-san and Seki-kun, I figured I was in for something as similarly off-the-wall like those two shows.
The namesake oji-san is probably the most pure and innocent character in the show. His only real love is for marshmallows. Knowing this, his coworker schemes for his attention.
It's her efforts that form the main entertainment value of this little show. The voice actress's dry delivery of the lines helps very much. Don't get it mixed up; she is very much in love with this marshmallow man, and we get to see her clever to clumsy efforts to get his attention for 12 episodes in various settings and a rival thrown in for good measure.
You should watch this show because it will make you a better person and you'll learn a little bit more abo…

This is a simple, comedic show about a clueless dude who loves marshmallows and Iori, his coworker who wants to be more than just coworkers. In each episode, which is typically under three minutes, we find Hige in various situations where he ends up being teased by Iori, who always seems to have a bag of marshmallows on hand. The simplicity of the situation combined with the relatable and comedic circumstances makes for a pretty good viewing; you can't help but feel for Iori who can't muster up the courage to ask Hige out, relegating herself to teasing him with marshmallows.
Among 4-koma type shows, this is up there along with Dannaken- definitely give it a try!
Animation:
You really aren't supposed to expect too much in this category from 4-koma shows. This show follows the trend of hav…

Marshmallow is a simple anime. It doesn't have the wild set pieces or mind numbing plot twists, what with it being a short 2 minute anime based of a Pixiv webcomic, but there's still something endearing and lovely about this anime.
It's at its heart a very simple working life/romantic comedy anime. Slow paced and relaxing. None of the jokes are particularly funny or memorable, but they just hit that right spot of just being satisfactory. Characters are fun to follow but do not mature or grow any depth. Still, this format doesn't lend itself well to complicated stories, so this is as good as we can get.
As average as this anime is, I still smiled at the end of the anime. It's the perfect palate cleanser anime. 2 minutes long and easy on the eyes. Marshmallow is a nice after dinner snack.

Even though these episodes may be "marshallow" sized, every second of each episode is packed with hilarity, suggestive innuendos, misunderstandings, workplace sexual harrassment and a genuine feeling of heart.
Hige-san is an overweight office worker for a "web-related company" (actual name of it, no joke) and he has an obsession for marshmallows, a trait which is further examined in episode 4. He works along Wakabayashi-kun, a 24 year old female office worker who has a similar obsession with marshmallows, AND Hige-san.
Wakabayashi is attracted to Hige and orchestrates several situations in which they can get closer. The punchline is, Hige-san is a very introverted and polite older man, completely oblivious to Wakabayashi's advances, which creates many hilarious misunderstandings and even…
