Life doesn't need to be super serious all of the time. I really liked the lighthearted feel of the show. Life doesn’t need to be super serious all of the time.

China never banned chocolate - it actually has one of the most relaxed regulations on food - even some endangered animals can be found on the table at some small villages...

There were indeed no real references to that specific country. Slepyhed: I remember that I dropped Bartender when it first aired because the fansubbers refused to release in anything other than HD .mkv (which is murder to my computer), but if I can find the right files, I might check it out again.

On another note, have you watched Bartender? It seems like something you would like. Meh…It looked pretty interesting but I’ll take your word for it.

I watched the first four episodes, then kinda forgot about it with summer ending, and, UGH, school beginning. Oh well. Good thing I didn't bother with it, apparently.

It's only like a half hour of my time when all is said and done. :P I’ll keep watching to see how bad it can get. It’s only like a half hour of my time when all is said and done. :P

The problem with this mini series and Toshokan (another series I enjoyed, relatively speaking) is the silly, nonsensical reason behind all the conflict; why ban chocolate or books of all things? If they somehow made this reasoning more plausible, then their social commentary would be easier to swallow. Still, I honestly didn't equate CU as being anti-Chinese but more if what would happen if the US became a police state due to the political climate these days (1984, anyone?). But I watched Toshokan mainly for the characters themselves, heh.

I'm still on the first half and I was currently enjoying the series but too bad it ended in that way. At first, I was really expecting this show to become something more political and sensible like Toshokan Sensou but I guess I was wrong... That was disappointing :( Whoa 37.5…that’s harsh…

Looks like I will take your advice and drop this piece of garbage before I am disappointed even more. And I think the first half of Chocolate Underground is boring and has poor writing.

This is simply an adaptation of a british novel from years ago. Where the heck are the Chinese references coming from? This is simply an adaptation of a british novel from years ago.
