Hitotsubu ni Kawaranu Ai wo Komete

Hitotsubu ni Kawaranu Ai wo Komete is a short two-minute anime that was made to celebrate the anniversary of a caramel. It's about a mom who one day is stressed out with her kid when a young strange girl grabs a caramel from a box and runs away with it. The mom chases her, and the rest is spoilers. Kind of.

This is only two minutes long, and it's by Studio 4C, who does a lot of short anime like this that are either really bad or really good. I actually think this might be the first average work I've seen from them. I mean, ... it's a very simple story. I watched this in raw and yet I was able to understand most of it expect one or two words just from what I've picked up from watching other anime. The story is simple and easy to understand and gets everything out in only two minutes. The art is simple with generic character designs. The music is good but simple and likely the theme for this caramel company or something, the voice acting is average.

This is about as average as you can get. No real high points but no flaws ever. It is engaging though and I enjoyed it. However, average is not everyone's cup of tea, and no one cares about these shorts anyway. I say watch this if you want to waste 2 minutes. Actually, just watch it. It's only two minutes and the story is average but yet charming. It's barely recommended.

A short animation based around the Morinaga caramel product celebrating it's 100th anniversary.

The story is quite endearing if yet charming about a mother looking after her small baby, she is eventually led by a floating caramel cube being held by a small invisble child, later on in the animation it turns out to be the mother as a child and shows her mother before her giving her the same product when she was little.

Overall it's nicely animated and tells a very short and sweet endearing story about family and tradition that still holds dear in the hearts of many 100 years later which ... is a testament to how well liked the product is.
