Chocolate Underground Ep. 1 Impressions

I just finished watching the first episode of Chocolate Underground and . . . it was really stupid. The whole premise of the show is, it's illegal to eat any food that's unhealthy - especially chocolate. But really, what's more unhealthy: eating chocolate or having your house destroyed?
That's what happens to a couple in the first minute of the show. They're sitting at a dinner table with chocolate and these military guys and this giant robot destroy their house to get the chocolate. This is just a tad extreme. And unlike Toshokan Sensou which is somewhat plausible, this series so far is just ridiculous. Plus, the episodes for this series are only 5 minutes long so just as you're getting into it, it ends. I had a feeling this one was going to fall flat for me, and it looks like I proved myself right.

Oh well, one show scratched off the summer list, 7 to go.
