Candy☆Boy

First episode of the new Candy Boy series has been released on niconico - raw of course, but several groups have already got their subbed versions done. So glad the original 10 minute promo video for the song was popular enough for them to make 7 more. Yay!

This new episode was just as entertaining as the original, and just as yuri. =) Kana and Yuki are such a goofy couple i can't help but laugh. Just look at the opening scene with Kana trying to wake Yuki. Sakuya gets more screentime this time round and she's still a scheming stalker, but somehow more adorable.

We get more of the same lazy animation from this installment, lots of stillshots and panning, and i don't think they gave a damn about matching the lip flaps. But with such cute character designs, who cares?

What i liked about the original was how short yet effective it was, and this new episode lived up to expectations. My sole complaint is that the new theme song isn't as awesome as Candy☆Boy (the song).

Here's the official site with the niconico link. Character bios and pics are under the "キャラクター" tab, and there are 2 pages of manga under the "Specials" tab. I'm having a hard time reading the handwritten Japanese on the manga though. The "で"s look like "Z"s with sweatdrops.
