This review covers the whole series as I watched the specials all in one go, so sorry for any inconvenience.

I can already hear some noses going up because it's yuri(ncest), but alas love is love (pride!) and Candy☆Boy is guaranteed to etch an adoring smile into any non-homophobes heart.

If you're here for ecchi I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere, there are a few lewd scenes and lots of kissing but not much in the way of ecchi.

The theme music is upbeat yet relaxing and suits the series well, but isn't especially memorable in itself.

My only real complaint is that the series was so short, although the multitude of specials remedy that to an extent.

I highly recommend this series to anyone interested in romance or upbeat slice of slice.

My reviews consist of my short thoughts immediately after finishing a series and should be treated as such. They are also explicit (I use curse words) and may contain spoilers.

          This is a yuri show between two fraternal twin sisters. It is a yuri, but its mostly a family oriented plot. Honestly you could edit this a bit and make it out that they are just awkwardly close sisters. It was cute though. Nothing changed, nothing happened, the characters didn't grow, there relationship didn't change, pretty cut and dry look were gay, were sisters, be offended or intrigued. The initial part with the little sister was a bit touching but honestly overall I could of done without watching this. I think I finished the regular 7 episodes happily content in that I had just watched something mediocre. When I got to the OVAs it was a tiring watch, and they were only at most 13 minutes long. I suggest this if you like Yuris and the idea of two sisters being in "love".

Let me just say straight off the bat that Candy Boy is about yuri love between two fraternal twins. At first, many people may be turned down by just seeing that it's incest or yuri but I have to admit that this is a very innocent and sweet anime. It's quite short too so it shouldn't take up much of your time, in fact, I finished it in 1 sitting just now from 1am to 4am since majority of the episodes are only 10-20 minutes long and there's only 8+2 episodes.There really isn't any negatives to this anime. There were parts that were either positive or remained neutral. Nothing really got me to say I disliked it. The story was very sweet in that it shows two sisters in love with each other. It's absolutely innocent and there's nothing dirty or perverted in this anime compared to other anime that contains incest. Not only is the love between these two twins sweet but the love they have for the little sister back home really warms up your soul. The characters were developed quite well as many of the questions I had were answered and it did not leave the viewer feeling empty. The anime also included a comedic relief in the form of a freshman girl and I find the comedy to be just right. It was neither too funny to ruin the touching mood nor was it too lame to really kill anything. It was also interesting to me to find out that the voice of the freshman girl was the voice of kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Unfortunately, one thing I did dislike was that the episodes and the anime overall was much too short. I'm a slide-of-life, school life anime type of guy and I really wanted to know more about the future of these girls. I would have at least wanted to watch the anime till their graduation but at least the way the creators ended the anime left a warm, fuzzy feeling in me after watching it. Overall, I give it an 8 out of 10 because it was very innocent and sweet. Those are probably the two words I would use to describe this anime...innocent and sweet. Since the anime is short, I would not mind rewatching it as it did make me smile and for some reason, kind of provided a nostalgic feeling probably due to the countless moments one of the sisters reminisced about their past.
