Cupid's Chocolates Anime Review

Jiang Hao Yi, a normal, high school student who is extremely scared of getting into trouble suddenly becomes the Harem King of his school and gets confessed to by a bunch of beautiful girls! The worst thing is, Jiang hao doesn't know any of the girls who confessed to him! What on earth is happening?


Just Another Chinese Cartoon?

Yet, surprisingly not terrible. In fact, some animation (see the opening) is pretty damn good. Definitely a different animating style than most anime, if you can even call it that, and you can see the resemblance to other Chinese children's animated series (stuff like rotk or journey to the west).

Look, it's a harem. There's not much of a story, and the general premise itself would be a mild spoiler for episode 1, so I'd rather not say it here. What you get is a bunch of girls, one guy, and some ecchi fun. This guy eats a choclate with a few girls he shared and suddenly they all love him. Nothing special. Typically average harem ecchi, but unlike all other ecchi. Each episode is only 10-12 minutes long, and the overall storyline is therefore incredibly fast paced. The Chinese voice acting is pretty decent (with the exception of the main girl... can't stand squeaky women VAs). Sound is decent, no problems but no vocal openings, just instrumentals. OST is nothing spectacular but not out-of-place or anything. Art actually looks pretty good overall and the animation is quite nice, though the studio that made this isn't very adept at hiding the low-budget parts.

Regardless, I found the hour I spent watching all the available episodes (4 at the time of writing this) to be very enjoyable. It has good humor, if a little cliche, and a refreshingly fast-paced harem plot. There's also the other plot that it has a lot of, though that's to be expected.

Warning: as of now, ep 4 ends on a huge cliffhanger.

Solid 7/10 ecchi harem. You can finish it in an hour, and there's some novelty in the fact that it's in Chinese rather than Japanese.
This anime's art and animation is absolutely beautiful! I cry at how beautiful it is. The names are in chinese and the voice acting is weird but this art is amazing. Character, haven't seen too much (typical of a harem). Enjoyment. I am an ecchi harem lover and I greatly enjoy this! Watch it, even if you're not a fan of this genre, watch it at least for the art.

One of my anime-lover friends told me while writing this hub: I've seen thousands of Anime since I've been watching anime for around 10 years (i'm now 21) and just because it's not made in Japan doesn't mean it's not better than some Japanese Manga based Anime Freezing is a great anime FOR ME in plot, (story and fan service) character development and art style that being said it's not perfect for example the MC is kind of wimpy but my point is i'm not saying you should watch Freezing i'm just using that as an example i'm saying just because it's Manga was made in Korea or China doesn't mean it can't be better than Japan's Manga/Anime so you shouldn't avoid certain Anime because is Manga wasn't Japanese. Personally it's just hard because with the Japanese VAs they can make sure to make their voices sound childlike or sound younger in general, which is why moe works so much. Here they do sound fine, but watching animated teens speak like they're in their 30s is really weird.
