Cute exposition. I think we have our main characters, but most of what we can get from the short first episode is an idea of the crazy obsessive government of health fiends.

Nice start to the series. I haven't read/watched any other version of this, but it looks like it'll be fun. Nice animation.

Wasn't really planning to watch this series, but the eps are so short so I decided to go for it anyway. I don't think I'd be able to put up with 25 minutes of this show every week, but it's fine as it is now.

it's like with chocolate then. too much = bleh.
this series has a potential, but geez, those commercials really were annoying. I almost turned down volume myself.

This was pretty good (for a 5 min show), though at first I wasn't planning to watch this.

I find it funny, that the police (or whatever those guys were) can destroy your entire house, if you're caught in the possession of chocolate =P

lol.
interesting first ep.
definite overkill with the destruction of the house for chocolate + the tv not being able to be turned off during the brainwashing program. pretty satirical of something. meh.

this should be a fun little series though

That was a quiet episode, BUT brown chocolate? What the he**? A country that against eating chocolate but why there is a company who is making chocolate exists in the first place?

LOL anyway, I am really please with the anime so far.

Nineteen-eighty-four for kids.

This is a premature judgement... but this won't be good, going by this first episode. Couldn't see any quality apart from the above-average CG.

I can't even remember what really happens in the Live-Action version that ABC aired so long ago.

Not sure what to think yet. It's just the first episode, so we'll see how things will go in the next couple episodes.

I didn't plan on watching this, but it's so short so...

I kinda liked it. I wasn't really expecting much, and I don't expect much more, so it was nice I guess.

LETS BE HEALSHII!!!
NO MOE CHOCOLETO!!!!

It is a fantastical idea, but its based on a book made over 20 years ago. So the only way this book would be turned to a visual adventure would be like an anime (or an afternoon movie made by nickelodeon)

Since the ep's are so short i cant say no to watching it.

Like a few of you, I wasn't planning on watching this series but I found the animation to be well drawn. That and its a short 'five-minute-episodes' I could stick with, now that summer is over and school work is over flowing. I'm looking foward to seeing the rest of it. ^-^

I don't know about you guys, but this series is frickin' hilarious. It's like drug dealers-- but with chocolate. Brilliant.

"Let's be healthy!"

Not that I intended to do it or I agree with the message, but watching it I was eating an orange, and I don't eat chocolate... (^^' )

Seems to be quite a nice short series, actually I was looking for something like this so I'm really happy it turned/s out to be a good choice. I like the contrast between the governmental(?) forces darkness and the brightly colored civilians~

Nice first episode. It's basically a satire on the failed drug war.
Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho

So chocolates aren't allowed? That would be very devastating if it will happen in real life (‘◉⌓◉’)
