Cupid’s Chocolates II

Story: so the anime pretty much starts where season 1 (in a sense) ending with Sandy falling from the school roof and wanting Hayoi but sandy didn't want to live anymore cause of the way her life was (not gonna spoil what happened with sandy) so after that with sandy you really just get a bunch of stuff with all the girls and hayoi weather it be Hayoi finding Xuan crown in time for a con or finally finding out to what happened to make Xueli the way she is to them getting lost in the woods cause of Xueli and to Mei actually havingfeeling for Hayoi that's pretty much what you in a sense get for the story (kind a bummer but still the story is decent) Art: will say the art is really good from the background to the character design and so one they did really good job this time around with everything in it. Sound: The Op i actually liked in the second as for the Ed eh personally i wasn't a fan of it but oh well as for the voice actors cant say anything else expect they were really damn good here. Character: Hayoi is the main male character and well has his harem but hes honestly not a scaredy cat (sometimes he is but not all the time) when it comes to it he knows when to handle certain things which i liked this dude for a good main male character. Yuan is one of the many female leads honestly to describe her she pretty laid back and just pretty cheerful only real things that i can really say about her but she is a good character. Tata is another female lead and well she is a spirit or a magical person who follows Hayoi around (also no one can see her just him) cause of the cupid's chocolate is the reason why she follows him around to describe her i mean she is pretty nice but she can get annoying to Hayoi at times otherwise i did like her. Xueli is another female lead and well shes the only person who in fact didn't eat the cupid's chocolate she always loved Haoyi at first she wasn't always like that to hayoi they were always rivals but childhood friends at the same time but as time grew she began to love Hayoi and see well became a yandere cause of her change in attitude to describe her well she is a yandere always wanting to be with him again loved her character (im a fan of the yandere type to be honest). Xuan is another female lead and she can become kinda bossy and a push around hayoi but always has the soft spot for him she also cosplay's as well she is kinda a pushy one to describe her she can be nice but she kinda is a Tsundere in that sense. Xia is the last female lead and well she is the first person who ends up meeting Haoyi in the anime not really having friends she really likes Haoyi cause of it she is a really happy and go lucky person and is again is just a really nice person all around. (pretty much copied and pasted my review of the characters from the 1st season sense they basically act the same here) Sandy is the last character her and she is a singer and or pop start and she also ate cupids chocolate and and she likes haoyi she is pretty much a happy girl overall and a sweet one as well. Enjoyment: What i liked: i personally like the anime for the comedy and for all the characters being here and for the art to the music being really well done and also for the tense moments being actually really well done here. What i didn't like: the comedy is here and there so which is kinda disappointing but not a bad thing also you think Sandy might be in the anime a lot RIGHT wrong she is barely in the anime expect for 1-3 and also a little bit of 14 and that's it like ok then why have her has a character to being with like shes more of side character to me if anything those are my only real complaints well maybe the Ed as for me not liking it as well. Overall: ill give this a 7 (might change it to a 8 honestly but will see) as for the anime while the comedy is here and there the comedy does it job pretty well actually and all the characters being here is a damn good thing as well i personally liked season 1 maybe just a little bit more than season 2 but this season was actually pretty good maybe it was a tiny or a little disappointing but again loved this season so i wouldn't call it a bad second season or anything like that this season was still pretty darn good for me i would recommend it for sure also a 3rd season might becoming as well for how it ended so i cant wait for that whenever it comes.

(For the sake of compactness, I will be talking about both season 1 and 2 in this review.) As someone who has watched almost every ecchi harem anime, I was interested to see the chinese attempt this format back in 2015. I watched the first episode but I started it again 5 years later. So here is my breakdown of both seasons. S1 Story: 8/10 For an Ecchi Harem anime, the plot is executed quite well and I thought the concept was unique. It caught me off guard that it also included a lot of drama. There was a lot of dilemmas and the story rarely felt likeit slowed down. However, there were a few problems, for example in the first episode he claims he had never talked to Zitong yet in a flashback he is handing the cake to the main girls, all in the same room, which is impossible because later on in the anime the girls interact between each other as if they had met each other for the first time. Another contradiction is that the MC says he's something along the lines of a boring average student who will become a bin man or something. Yet we learn that he is well trained in kung-fu, the smartest student in the school and has a very strong moral compass. My favourite arc in the whole anime was the Lin Yuan arc. Fuck me that ending made me tear up. S2 Story: 4/10 Similar problems to S1 except the MC feels like a complete Gary Stu now and there are more inconsistencies in the story. What else didn't help is that Lin Yuan, Tang Xuan and Mei Tata got way less screen time in exchange for Zitong (who did basically nothing during that screentime), Xueli (who I don't mind because she's best girl and actually has decent character development) and the new character Sandy. I did not give a shit about Sandy or her arc and she just felt like she was shoehorned at the last minute. Her personality is non-existant and her arc is just BORING. It had some good moments but it just felt like S2 was trying to be too many genres at one time. Also it got old how the MC would find the girls father (or father figure) and teach them a lesson with some good old words (that don't vary with any of the dads). Sound: 6/10 (combining both seasons here) When talking about sound as in voice acting and sound quality, this is what almost turned me off this show. Despite looking like the show had quite a big budget the mic quality was probably the same as OVAs from tiny studios. As for the actual voice acting, it was serviceable, but most of the time the tone was melodramatic when it shouldn't have been. Now onto the music perspective. The opening and ending music and animation is one of the lowest budget OP and EDs I have ever seen, most of it is static images and the first season didn't even have lyrics in the opening. As for the actual soundtrack in the show, I'm pretty sure it was all royalty free but where the music was placed fitted well in my opinion. S1 Characters: 7/10 As I mentioned before, I loved Lin Yuan's arc and the characters involved in it. It really portrayed the MC in a wholesome light that didn't seem superficial. Zitong at the beginning was pretty nice but she eventually got more bland. Tang Xuan was your typical big-breasted tsundere who I grew to enjoy in her arc but sometimes afterwards It seemed as if that had never occurred and she went back to her tsundere self. Xueli barely had any screen time and Mei was alright S2 Characters: 3/10 My god what a colossal fuck-up. To avoid repeating myself, i'll put it simple. Every character had either shit character development or no development at all. Especially Sandy, and the MC's cousin that appeared for like the last 2 episode and did nothing of note. I'm guessing this means that they're planning on a season 3 sometime soon as I don't see why they would just introduce a love interest for 2 episodes S1 Art: 8/10 I was actually really impressed at the artstyle and animation of the first few episodes, The animation was smooth and vibrant with colour. Not really much else to say S2 Art: 5/10 The art and animation got noticeably more simple and jankier as the series went on. They used less flowing animation and they reused old backgrounds a lot more. The art was still fine, but it was no way near the standard the first season set. Enjoyment (Overall): 8/10 It was easy to watch and was quite funny but also did have its sad moments. It's easy to binge both seasons. S1 Overall: 8/10 S2 Overall: 5/10 Conclusion: If you have watched the first season but haven't watched the second, you won't lose any sleep not watching the second season. Unless they announce season 3. Personally I would just not watch S2 or skim watch it
