Candy Boy Episode: EX02 - Shiawase Kyouyuu Riron

Protaku★ 4

If you're expecting a solid conclusion to the anime with this, prepare to be gravely disappointed. This is essentially the fanservice episode of the anime, and it doesn't even do that good a job of that. The bulk of the episode revolves around the girls essentially taking pictures of each other and running around an in-door pool and just dicking around in general, which isn't that bad if you actually like these characters. I wouldn't have minded some development on the sister's relationship here, but we really didn't even get that. Watch this only for full completion of the anime.

Alright I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because it's a special episode. Maybe it's because it's been so long since I've seen the original series and I'm not remembering the details so well. Maybe it's just because I've seen so much more anime since I first watched this series and I'm less pessimistic toward the genre now, but somehow I was actually enjoying this episode. It's a bit of a weird sendoff for such a short series, but it's not a regular episode and probably doesn't fit into the story chronologically at the end. It was a cute little episode about reminiscing on thepast while swimming at an indoor pool in the winter. Perhaps I was too harsh on the story for being incest-centric in my review of the main series. If I went back and watched it again in it's entirety I may come out of it seeing it in a more positive light as a whole. Maybe I was just being cynical about the nature of ships and yuri. I guess I'll just keep a more open mind in the future. 7/10
