Sometimes, at Live-eviL, we go against our evil namesake and have a nice streak in us. That is certainly the case with this special release event. We are offering up something sweet to keep you warm in the depths of Winter 🙂

Tokyo Marble Chocolate is very unique 2-part OVA by the masters at Production I.G. It was released on December 19th, 2007 in Japan. It is a love story between two very normal people, not unlike you or I. They mean well but cannot seem to succeed at love. They want their relationship to succeed but a combination of uneasiness and lack of self-confidence keeps them from advancing to the next step.

Sometimes, it’s take an unexpected third party to intervene in order to make two people realize what is right in front of them. That is exactly what happens in this story.

What makes it unique, is that the 2 parts of the OVA tell the exact same story, only from a different person’s vantage point.

Zenryoku Shounen is inspired by the song “Zenryoku Shounen” by the musical act Sukima Switch. This is the story from the boy’s perspective.

Mata Aimashou is inspired by the song “Mata Aimashou” by the musical act SEAMO. This is the story from the girl’s perspective.

Though there is no intended order for these to be seen, I would personally recommend watching the boy’s part first.

I hope you enjoy this special release from your friends at Live-eviL Fansubs, and please let us know what you think via our web forum or irc channel.

As always, you can download the episodes from our xdcc bots in #live-evil on irc.enterthegame.com or you can grab it off of bit torrent.
