COLORs

Watching this when I first arrived at college was a life changing experience. I kept getting drawn back to it every day, watching it 1 or a few times a day. It just evoked an emotion I had never felt before, an emotion I kept wanting to explore but was unfamiliar with. The animation style and the story are beautiful, and something about it even resonated within me. It was because of this music video that I realized I am transgender, which was the complicated emotion I kept chasing trying to recapture. It took a lot of introspection, but this music video assisted me in ... this journey with realizing this.

"Colors" is a captivating short anime that delicately explores the transformative journey of its protagonist. Through a magical twist, viewers follow the emotional and physical evolution of a young boy into a confident and self-assured woman. The animation is beautifully expressive, capturing the nuances of the character's evolution. The story's focus on self-discovery and acceptance makes it a heartwarming and thought-provoking watch. Despite its brevity, "Boy to Woman" leaves a lasting impression, offering a unique take on identity and self-acceptance within the anime genre. ( doesnt mind this review, its written from chatgpt )

Art -
How do you know that the animation you are watching, is an anime?
Is it - a) style of the animation or b) atmosphere in the animation ?
NO, NOTHING! It's c) FIREWORKS, SCHOOL SETTING & CHARACTERS WITH JAWLINE SHARPER THAN A KATANA!

Hey I'm not s*itng on anime for that okay? That's one of the reasons why we all love anime! What i'm tryna say is that this short has a art style which you can call ANIME! And, it's GORGEOUS!

Animation -
The name WIT Studio is enough.

... Story -
Now one of the convoluted things in the short! Shortly this short tries to show too much! The crossdressing and hidden idol life part was kinda cute! But, how like.. Tanks? Blast? Giant Butterfly? How? Where? WHY?
I'd have liked it better if it had chosen only one thing or at least if they made the duration a bit longer and let us know what the hell was going on!

Song/Music -
If you like your pop upbeat music you will like it too. (i guess)

Overall -
As a one time watch it's good! But, in this TOHO Animation 10th anniversary project sadly it's the weakest one for me! You may have another opinion but it's just me.
