How many episodes are in a Candy Short?

How many, and how long?

206 of the 224 series have exactly five episodes, so five is the number to expect. A few run longer, and each short's page here states its own count, which saves you from guessing.

Episodes are brief. We measure the opening episode of each open series straight from the video file, then multiply by the episode count to estimate the total. That makes every total an estimate, which is why we always say "about". The middle-of-the-road open series comes to about 5 minutes.

If you're asking how long are candy shorts in lunch-break terms, think a minute or two per episode for most series. The length topic page sorts every short by runtime, so you can pick one that fits the time you have without watching a thing first.

Which episodes are free?

Here it is episode by episode. The first plays with no login. The second opens once you hold a free account. From the third episode, tokens come in: 12 per episode in 187 open series, 30 per episode in 17.

Across open series there are 1,133 episodes in total. Of those, 409 are free (205 of them need a free account) and 724 are paid. Finishing most open series costs 36 tokens.

Spicy series are the exception. They are locked behind Candy Premium starting at the first episode, and a few episodes carry a token fee besides. Check the short's own page for its exact count and price, because that's where the details live. We don't time the locked series the way we time the open ones.
