Synopsis

Despite the kaleidoscopic magic ingrained in everyday life, Hitomi Tsukishiro's monochrome world is deprived of emotion and feeling. On a night as black and white as any other, amidst the fireworks spreading across the sky, Hitomi's grandmother Kohaku conjures a spell, for which she has been harnessing the moon's light for 60 years, to send Hitomi back in time to the year 2018 when Kohaku was in high school.

Hitomi's mission seems unclear, but her grandmother assures her that she will know when she gets there. Following a trip through time aboard a train driven by a strange yellow creature, Hitomi finds herself in stoic artist Yuito Aoi's room, and his drawings flood her world with color. What is Hitomi's purpose there, and why do Yuito's drawings return such breathtaking color to her drab world?

Color not only makes the world more beautiful but also expresses one’s innermost emotions. As Henri Matisse stated- “Color helps to express light—not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists”, from which he clearly refers color as the mechanism through which abstract internal processes and emotions are realized.

Such can also be said for a series named Iroduku: The World in Colors (いろずくせかいのあしたから Or Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara) (2018). This series showed the story of Tsukishiro Hitomi, a young mage who lost her sense of colors despite being ingrained with kaleidoscopic magic. On a night as monochrome as ... usual, amidst the fireworks spreading across the sky, her grandmother Tsukishiro Kohaku sent her sixty years back in time in order to find her true purpose.

This series beautifully showcased the gradual change in Tsukishiro Hitomi as she tried to overcome her condition with the support of her fellow classmates. I liked how she started seeing colors through the artworks made by Yuito Aoi despite seeing everything around her monochromatically, which not only helped her to find what her true purpose is but also rekindled Aoi’s passion for art. I also liked how this series depicted it’s key plot elements- Photography, Art & Magic with respect to its story.

There was a sequence of dialogues in this series that I really liked-

“You know, when it comes to pictures, you can never take the same one again. Different people lead different lives, and after dark, the same light that was on yesterday might not be today. And before you know it, the scenery changes, never to be the same again”-Yamabuki Shou. In my opinion, it beautifully expressed the significance of portraying the events of daily life through photograph, which was also one of key plot elements of this series.

This series had quite beautiful opening and ending songs. Especially I liked Mimei no Kimi to Hakumei no Mahou (みめいの君とはくめいのまほう) by Nagi Yanagi (なぎやなぎ) (commonly known as Yanaginagi) (Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara Ending Song) the most.

I really liked the overall animation of this series as well,as it was made by the studio named Progressive Animation Works, also known as P.A.Works which is famous for making animes made with picturesque animation style such as, Nagi no Asukara, Shiro Suna no Aquatope, Hanasaku Iroha, Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou etc. Especially I liked how the studio illustrated the transition from monochrome state to color state in the opening sequence, as well as the ending sequence of every episodes so beautifully.

Need to mention that, the place shown in this series is based on the city of Nagasaki, the capital of Nagasaki Prefecture.

Mixed Feelings

Can you mark time?
Can you make change?

These are ideas people can contemplate, but can a anime series focus on it?

This would be a resounding... Somewhat, "Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara" / "Iroduku" really doesn't use the time travel aspects, and it's more or less just a footnote for the story for 10 of the 13 episodes. The story elements mainly just was a somewhat generic school romance & slice of life, but it does show change of the MC "Hitomi" throughout the story, and this it does extremely well.
The stuff it emphasized in the synopsis was not exactly what was featured, kinda like a ...

Spoilers ahead. I wanted to watch something wholesome since I recently got back into anime. I had this as a recommendation but was left with a complete disappointment.

Let's start with the story. The story is non-existent. It's essentially about some teenagers in a club doing club things. Oh right, there is a mention of time-travel at the start but nothing really happens with the time-travelling aspect.

I mean, you can't really introduce your show by sending the main character back in time and then do nothing of it. What was the point exactly?

I won't call the story as story but rather as a concept ...
