Review of Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life
This anime was too short and that is the only thing that makes my rating drop. I really did enjoy the flow of the events and the back stories, and such. It kind of blew my mind.... yes yes, incest... I like the way they portray it in here: not all that tortured, sort of in between the lines... I think this is another case of "Pocky Shoujo ai"... (I claim the term)... a reference to Ga Rei Zero.. a sweet kiss, so what? I guess it is only the creator who know the true meaning, and speculation is left for the rest of us mortals... Ithink the relationship was really interesting. Was it sexual love? Was it familial love? Was it platonic love? It made me think a lot what truly defines the relationship between humans and what we need from each other. (In fact I just watched this anime after reading "The God of Small Things" by Arundarthi Roy... so it got me by the rational and dramatic side.
I like the little sister, her conflicts, the whole moving from the country side to the city aspect of it...
All in all, it is was a great late night watch... and it is totally worth re watching and discussing.
