Review of Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life

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 tospend 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 lot of smiles and cuddly stuff fanservice.

Character designs are great, but sometimes weird camera angles are taken for shots. Possibly to mitigate that Candy Boy is almost all dialogue. It doesn't take away anything from it but I don't think it adds anything either.

VAs did a good job. Nothing memorable musically that I can remember.

I like the twins a lot. They're both in the weird middle ground when you're becoming an adult and while they're ready to take on the responsibilities the world is going to throw at them, they're both still emotionally invested in their childhoods enough that it gives the series this floating, almost in limbo like feeling. They aren't completely grounded in who they are and it helps the illusion that these girls are in midst of character development. There's a great subplot with their little sister that feels a little left out because her sisters have moved away and she's all alone at home but it doesn't get explored to it's fullest extent. The comic relief character isn't needed but she's the catalyst that brings the sisters together so in a way she's important.

Candy Boy is worth the watch if you want some good vibes to pass the time with. I think the entirety of the animated work is watchable and more enjoyable as a whole.
