Colorful (Movie)

Colorful begins cooler than possibly any anime I have ever seen. A young boy, who is an angel speaks to you, yes, you, the viewer. You, or I, when I watched it, have died and either of us must be placed into another body as a test and show our worth to get a second chance at life. The film is engrossed in gorgeous colors. The flowers on the trees pop and are just as memorable and the unique introduction to the film. The viewer is placed into the body of a young boy who has tried to commit suicide, but this confuses the occupying ... soul because the life seems wonderful and ideal with no obvious problems, but the suicide hints at an underlying problem. Since the viewer is given a body, the film doesn't take place through our eyes anymore and shifts to a third person where we observe rather than live the character first hand throughout the entire film. Being 100% interactive seems like it would be impossible to accomplish in film anyway... otherwise, it would be a first person video game. We need a plot. The boy that the soul is placed into is named Makoto, and the soul begins to discover himself through Makoto's body and at Makoto's expense, as there are no real consequences for the dead soul and only for the body he occupies. He has a set time though that he must prove himself or else both the boy dies and the soul gets no second chance at life. Nobody understands Makoto, and Makoto, as he exists in this current states sees this, but he is unempathetic to others that are misunderstood, like the "dorky girl" that tries to speak to him, with big dorky glasses. He doesn't know her life and what hardships she's faced, but he seems to be totally self involved and pushes her off, despite her approaching him. The occupant begins to take advantage and changes his appearance and people begin to appreciate him, especially the "cool kids" and "hot girl." With this, he becomes superficial and gets caught up in trivial matters. He likes the "hot girl" based mostly on her looks, as the attention she has shown him thus far been incredibly shallow. He likes her, but she is terrible. She prostitutes herself for money, though nothing states that she must. In fact, she says it's because she wants this nice things that come from it. She isn't faced into it by any pimp or by poverty. Later, he counsels her through her wishing to die, and explains that everybody feels that way at some point or another, as by this point, he does understand, because he sees that Makoto's life was indeed, not so colorful and joyous. His mother cheated on his father, and the occupying soul treats her horribly. He fixes this when, on a fishing trip with his father, his father, without exposing that he knows of the affair, reveals that he has been at fault in somewhat abandoning the family and the mother, working far too often and too long. All of this instills a since of deeper understanding within Makoto, humbling him. He understands that everybody has some self-torment. The girl is very submissive into believing him after he tells her "everybody does that!" with a smile, letting her know that everybody can often feel so gleeful and gay one day, and other just wish nothing more than death. The scene is sort of genetic that she is so much like "okay, you're right, I won't argue with what you say. I'm fine" (this isn't exactly how it goes.) It is undramatic and lame. There has been an unfinished canvas that the original Makoto started throughout the whole film that the occupying soul has not touched, but he suddenly does once this depression and conflict sits in. He has had no reason to touch it, but now, he gets a compulsive spark to seek and create art, as it is therapy. The film comes full circle and it is revealed that the occupying soul was indeed the boy the entire time, and he had to be ignorant to this to make things right. Through his lack of knowledge, he has made a friend, which he never had before, has become more understanding of his parents and siblings, and he is more confident in his future. He decides which school he wants to attend and is respectful of his peers and empathetic.
The movie, if only visually, is worth the watch. Each body of water looks exceptionally realistic and gorgeous. The backdrops are all beautiful and colorful. Maybe the film is called colorful because the boy turns a grey life into one of color, or maybe the film is called colorful because the colors are something to marvel at, and can even distract from the characters themselves and plot. You may need to rewind a bit and pause for ravishing stills.

This anime was a very amusing anime, it had a harsh reality aspect to it, and for some reason I always like those, it also had a "deep life lesson" that I 100% agreed with, and for that I feel everyone should watch this anime, whether you love, or hate anime. I watched this anime a few months back and so after coming across it again I thought why not do a review, and set everything as 10, however I do not remember the music and sound. So I decided to re-watch the anime itself.

Story
So a soul gets places inside the body of a boy ... who committed suicide, now just this part tells you the story will be a sad and depressing one. There will be happy times, sad times, and times that will annoy the hell out of you.
The story was very interesting and made me really think, as I said at the top you don't have to love anime to understand the meaning of this anime.

Art
The art is done spectacular for this anime, it does an amazing job portraying all the emotions. When they run through the run I can practically feel the wind going through my hair and the rain drops pouring down on me.

Sound
Now the sound in this anime was very well done, and everything played at just the right moment. It made the whole anime so much more dramatic. I really enjoyed every bit of it. I feel there was a little bit of everything mixed in the sound, sadness, happiness. It was as if someone was sitting there playing the instruments right in my living room.

Character
The character development was amazing. I don't know if I am talking about just the main character, but by the end of the anime I could feel some kind of connection to piratically every character. There were times I wish I could have smacked half the characters, but that is life. We don't always get what we want and it all was very unexpected when a character did anything.

Enjoyment
So enjoyment. Did I really enjoy this anime? As I mentioned in character there was times when I wanted to smack some of thee characters, but I really did enjoy the anime. I enjoyed every single second of it. I loved the story and how it developed along with the characters, I liked how the art and music made the anime give off so much more emotion. The anime is a very deep life lesson anime and again anyone would enjoy or at least not regret watching this anime.

Overall
So overall I think I stated it in my enjoyment. I find the anime one of the best anime I have seen, mainly because of the story and the fact I don't see anime like this often. So I recommend anyone to watch. I apologize for my lack of grammar and spelling, and also if I repeated anything. I hope I at least convince someone to watch this anime. I give a 10/10

This movie opened up a lot in me (for real), it was just that good. Words can't express how good of a story this was.

The story revolves around a spirit who got an "internship" to get into the body of Makoto Kobayashi who just committed suicide. The spirit must make use of this internship for his good and find out the reason why Makoto committed suicide. This game of internship gives us a colorful story of that family and how it revolves around the emotion of MC.

The movie is a glorious one, the story is beautiful. At first, you may seem to hate MC(the reason ... why many drop this) but he gradually grows in us in a very good way, the story shows us the value of life, friendship, and forgiveness. You may feel uneasy in the beginning but it ends in a much satisfying way.:)

Based on the first person narrative by Mori Eto, Colorful is a film directed by Keiichi Hara that details the story of a soul that committed a grave sin. The soul is chosen to have a second chance at life to remember the sin it committed. It possesses the body of a 14 year old boy who committed suicide, named Makoto Kobayashi. During its stay at earth, through the eyes of Makoto, the soul begins to realize and accept the circumstances of real life and begins to learn that about the harshness and beauty of reality through the colors of humanity.

It is a beautiful movie ... that is worth to try, especially if you like drama and supernatural things. However, it is roughly 2 hours long, and very slow paced, so if you are someone with a lack of attention and prefer something fast paced with action, don't watch this. There are parts that detail the banality of real life, which do make it boring in between. The animation is gorgeous with clear attention to detail, so that is a definite plus. All in all, this is a good movie if you have a lot of time and patience, and if you are a deep thinker.

I watched this movie as an "nothing expected" attitude, and oh boy was i even hitted hard with the feelings! Now the art for the movie was.... well the landscape = beautiful characters = ewwhh god. I kinda knew how the story was going to end from the start (i hope i wasn't the only one) but in the end it felt like the story was just there to support everything else, i believe you can relate to even one of the characters in this movie, it provides these "i know how you feel" thinks and is overall really emotional movie, made me even cry ... few times >.>....
Overall: Movie had really nice emotional feeling to it, music really was astonishing making some of the movie feel really amazing! now as you can think of bad and good about story and characters aaaand art, i would still recommend this movie for everyone to watch, it didn't really have boring parts and was very enjoyable.

Colorful is not for everyone, let's just get that out there.

This movie is NOT for an audience that is used to fast-paced, can't catch your breathe action adventure animation.
The drama is not over the top, its subtle yet intense
The character stand out as being normal in the sense that they could be anyone. This movie is a depiction of real life, not entertainment only. Meaning?
It's slow-paced, builds up its characters, and is full of subtly nuances. And if you're the type of person that likes slice of life or has a learning for human existence, this is your movie! If not, you'll have a ... hard time following this film or will become bored half way in.

I'd say it's only for audiences who have an open mind and are fascinated with the metaphysical notions and philosophical notions of death. Colorful touches you because you relate to the character's weaknesses and insecurities. You see yourself in them because they aren't perfect. This movie digs deep into the inner facets of human life. How we humans are so flawed yet because of our imperfections make us "colorful" or "beautifully human"
In the end, I guess hope prevails.

I've been putting off watching this movie for a while. The poster and synopsis weren't that much inspiring for me... In fact, they were averting me somehow.
So, from the start I hadn't hopes up. Nevertheless, I've got quite more than initially I could expect.

The story is grim. Mostly quite realistic, laying the whole concept and of reincarnation aside. The way story's evolving is well made. You're getting smoothly involved with all characters and events around them. More you watch, more you become interested in.
Well, I should say, I didn't enjoy it much. I mean, I haven't got a sense of beauty, which I ... get when I watch Shinkai films, for example. Colourful is different. I've got another things in exchange.
You should expect some serious stuff.

Generally, animation's good. Though, there were few CGI moments which didn't blend in perfectly. Also, backgrounds are poorly done. I've noticed using real-life footages in a number of backgrounds. To be honest, It strikes the eye just a little bit but still is distracting. Ah, it doesn't matter whatsoever.
Animation of facial expressions is great. It was pretty easy to discern what emotions characters feel at particular moments.

I especially loved few OST-s here. Listening to them right now :)
There's nothing to complain here about. Maybe, just the fact that main hero's voice is hella irritating. Probably, it's only my issue, so don't pay attention to this.

Characters feel like really alive. Colorful, like it was said in the film. Most probably, you won't like any of them. But what more importaint, I'm almost certain, you're gonna feel bad for them. I felt pretty much bad for them. Colourful will make you think what would you feel and do in their places.

Like I wrote overhead, I didn't enjoy it much. However, I did enjoy the idea, the simple but deep thought It was trying to convey me.
I don't remember last time I was getting so emotional while watching anime.

To sum it up, I'm glad I've watched it. It was totally worth. I won't forget Makoto's words.
I would higly recommend to give it a try, but not for everyone.

A guy died, thrown into an after life, then given a second chance? Yeah, it's been done multiple times.

So what makes this one special? No fun adventures, No intriguing mystery cases, No supernatural powers, so what's the difference that this movie has to offer?
For me, the strongest part of that makes this movie stand out in my memory is, ironically, the Simplicity of it.

The story tells a guy who had died, ended up in an afterlife, and given a second chance. The second chance is to be reincarnated in a body of a boy who had just tried to commit suicide, and continue to live ... in that boy's body until he remembers what sin he has committed.
As he went on living in that boy's body, he discovered many things in that boy's life: His Friends, His Bullies, His Parents, His Sibling, His Family's Conflicts, and so many more. He saw many things and also learn many things. And that's why the this movie is "Colorful".

The title itself captures perfectly what the creators meaning to show: Life is Colorful.
There are so many things in life. There are moments when you can laugh freely, when feel confused and betrayed, when you fight with someone you love, when you cried all day, when surprised at something you didn't know of someone close to you, when you discover new things and new people, and when you excited about facing tomorrow. Life isn't a Dull grey, is not also Black & White.
Life is full of Colors, if you keep your eyes open and moving forward. That's the message of this movie.

Story aside, watching the MC's development was a fun ride for me. I enjoyed the story too much to the point in the middle of it I even forgot the Big Problem: What was the Sin the MC committed? Well, I won't spoil you for that.
If you're a fan of stories about Philosophy of Life, stories that can make you Cry, or stories that focused on Character Development, I recommend this for you.
But if you're looking for fun adventures, discoveries, mysteries, or complicated drama, sadly this story has little to offer to you.
Overall, it was an enjoyable 2 hours for me. The art style and soundtracks are also pleasant. I'm giving it a solid 9.

I was expecting a confusing and mind bending story but what I got was a some what peaceful and what seemed to be realistic story. The movie led you threw a story of a spirit trying to figure out who the boy who he was now in the body of and also himself. The movie kept my interest the whole time and felt sad when it ended as if I was one of the characters. I definitely recommend this movie!

One of those great mundane coming-of-age stories, set in an anime-film format that really treasures those mundane social quirks that are often cast away in pursuit of deranged romanticism, though I wouldn't ever go as far as to call anything "realistic".

A pure pleasure to watch though - the art may not be outstanding - but it's a great work nonetheless. It touches you, and you can't help but feel involved with the characters as they evolve during this colorful 2-hour movie.

Definitely worth watching, wish there were more of these kind of stories.

Expect no gunfights, bastard boyfriends or manly men trying to pierce the heavens. Based on an award-winning novel, the movie's also gotten a fair share of recognition, and I can see why.

Fourteen-year old Kobayashi Makoto has just committed suicide. Meanwhile, a soul carrying a heavy, unknown sin is suddenly chosen to go back to life in Makoto's body as a 'trial' to try and find out what it did, and how to redeem itself. Everything else is unwritten.

It is said that there's nothing harder to work on than a blank canvas, and the soul finds out the hard way. In a way, we do, ... too. While the story itself is nothing breathtaking, the way the concept and themes are handled is arguably the best aspect of the movie. To me, few things are less satisfying than a work of art that will never truly end--the sort of movie, book, game to leave a mark and change my views on life. I can safely say Colorful achieved it.

The animation, I'll admit, was nothing really stunning. The CG could be off-putting at times along with the real-life backgrounds. However, the art style itself turned out to be very pleasant, more leaned to a realistic style. The soundtrack was spot-on. Along the art, it effectively conveyed a tranquil, somber atmosphere, greatly complimenting the story's themes. Compared to the other aspects of the movie, though, it almost seemed a bit lackluster.

I can't say much about the characters without spoiling. Aside from the main character, most of them have very little screen time except for the nameless spirit guiding 'it' and Sano, an outcast that always seems to be following 'Makoto'. However, they still managed to achieve a significant amount of depth, as most of their problems were implicit and left up to interpretation. The main character can come off as cold and even cruel at times, and 'it' should. It only makes its own development all the more outstanding.

The twist at the end was, as every trope and trick nowadays, fairly predictable. And certainly fitting. It really does go along the rest of the movie in a way no other ending would.

To me, it's not a work to be taken lightly. If watched correctly, it will leave you thinking. What does it really mean to be alive? To breathe? To exist?
As an extra, the fact Makoto was an artist only made it all more symbolic. Colorful, as a whole, really twisted the ways in which I see the world--and the hues.

I don't feel like writing a big review but after watching this movie I felt like I needed to say something. This is one of the most beautiful and well made movies I ever seen. Due to their high teen suicide rate, I think watching this movie should be mandatory in every school in Japan. That is all.

What if you were given a chance to live again only if you remember your sin? Remorse is what we feel for our sins that we committed after we watch this movie. This movie reminds us that despitethe fact this movie had a happy ending because the main protagonist was given another chance, we won't be given a chance to rectify our mistakes after we've died. That is why even if we manage to make mistakes now we should try to fix them rather than avoiding and doing nothing about it and we should make our life's colorful.

Story: 9 - (The protagonist is shown as ... a unnamed character even though his name is revealed later I won't use it because it's a spoiler so I'll just refer him as 'I'). This story starts of when 'I' died and was kicked out of the reincarnation cycle because 'I' commited a sin. 'I' was told that 'I' won a lottery and will be given a chance to live again if 'I' remember my sin. His spirit possessed the body of a boy named Makoto who commited suicide. 'I' started to realise that the true colors of anyone can't be distinguished. I (lol) found this story quite different and amazing while it explores the troubling yet somewhat realistic life of Makoto. I think this movie is quite underrated and it should receive more attention.

Art: 9 - Though i'm not particularly a fan of this art style but it goes along perfectly with this ty[e of story as it feels even more realistic.

Sound: 8 - Not too memorable but it fits in the story while not oddly sticking out so it's satisfactory.

Character: 9 - There were no strong, amazing or even any specifically memorable characters but these characters bring out the potential of the story because if any of the characters had a different personality then that would've affected the story in some sort of way too. And that's why I like the way how the characters support the story.

Enjoyment: 9 - Depending on people's choices they may not 'enjoy' this series but they'll like and understand it even though I enjoyed, liked and understood the meaning of this series. In any case, it's enjoyable as long as you like dramas otherwise its just a 'nice' series.

People who liked: Haibane Renmei, Angel Beats! and AnoHana will 'like' or 'enjoy' this series as it gives off a similar aura to these animes.

Overall: 9 - Overall its worth a watch but if you dont 'like' or 'understand' or artistic/deep stories then don't watch it.

Warning possible Spoilers

I usually like stories where people are reincarnated or are brought back to life, but have forgotten what happened them, Colourful was ok, but it had some things that kinda lost my attention for it.

The story begins with a random soul who has been reincarnated as Makoto Kobayashi who committed suicide and the random soul must figure out why Makoto did this with the help of an angel called Purapura.
Let's start by the saying the story was pretty good I enjoyed it when Makoto was trying to figure what was going on in his life like finding out about his family, school life, ... what his interests were and when he started not caring about the things he was doing like hurting people around him because he found some things out that weren't very good and was driving people away from him was actually interesting, then for some reason when he was being shown around town by his friend and tried to redeem himself I suddenly was losing interest, now I like it when these sort of characters go down this path, but for some reason this path to redemption just didn't hit for me and when the film/movie was finished I felt happy, but sort of empty.

Now the characters were ok I enjoyed Makoto's asshole stage during the first half, but for some reason lost interest in the second half when he was trying to redeem himself it wasn't bad it just felt boring to me.
The other supporting characters were on and off for me, I liked Purapura because he was supposed to be a helpful guide for Makoto for what happened in his previous life and I also liked Saotome (Makoto's friend) mainly because it reminded me of a friendship I have with someone so it felt very relatable. I did feel sorry for Makoto's family mainly because they were trying to help their son who had only just committed suicide and came back to life (with another soul) and Makoto just shoved their kindness back in their faces so I felt sorry for them.
There were two female characters Hiroka and Shouko, but they didn't really do anything for me Shouko annoyed me really so I didn't get attached to them.

I liked the artstyle especially during the beginning where the dead souls were heading to either heaven or hell I liked how the hallway was grey showing it was a neutral zone and I can say the same for Purapura being all gray and pale showing he was from neither and acted as a guardian.

Overall I think this was ok it wasn't amazing, but it was an alright watch and if you're someone who's interested in seeing a random soul being reincarnated into someone else and trying to get used to their life then give this a watch you might enjoy it

Please forgive me if the review is boring or shitty because it's my second attempt to do so. At the first attempt, I tried, that time it said that it is too short XD ,:'D so I might have written so many unnecessary things
I know my English sucks


Story 07/10
it might look like it has a dumb storyline at first glance but it's one of the nicest renditions of this afterlife kind of stuff. The story is decent but the way of interpreting it, mixed with the awesome music put it to a whole new level.
at some parts when ... our main character Makoto so something wrong(trying to be spoiler free :D) or misbehave, it really gets you and makes you beat your computer screen displaying Makato and at the very next moment you think that he is just a kid he doesn't understand the complexity of life. But at some part, the story was not satisfactory enough. maybe that is due to the influence on me of watching anime that are far from reality and not dealing with the reality of life. (that's my problem lol). And sometimes the metaphors were hard to get or maybe they were not metaphors and I was just scratching my head lol.

Art 09/10
its art is so awesome and blends completely with the story. It is definitely worth checking out it for just art, you'll definitely not regret it. It's kinda Makoto Shinkai type but a bit less work on characters which was required for easy interpretation of the movie.

Sound 9/10
This film's music is certainly one of the most beautiful ever. It makes you listen to it more and more at every listen. And not only music in the particular but according to the scenes, it's just perfect.


Character 7/10
This is the section which I am a little bit disappointed. There were many adorable characters that needed a little bit more description within the movie duration. And sometimes the deeds of character really didn't reflect the past personality of that character. I know it is difficult to pull out the perfect character development for all the characters but it is one thing that I have always concerns with these types of films. But it is good enough to stick until the end


Overall 9/10
its certainly a must watch. This was an experience rather than a film.An experience which I think everyone should take. I always afraid of dying that's why I always distanced me from media about this topic.It really sounds dark when you read Colorful's synopsis but it is not, it is definitely not. It's a movie full of inspiration, I am a music person so one thing I noticed is that even in the saddest situation in this movie, major chords(usually referred to warm and happy sounding) are used in background music. This is the type of film which conveys many meanings depending on the viewer. Heads off to the director, writer and the whole stuff and especially the voice actor for purpura or Parapara or whatever it was so kawaii-iii iii voice, bye.

Overall - 10

Colorful is a wonderful movie about second chances and forgiveness. The movie's direction is done very tastefully, despite all the mature and dangerous topics this movie tackles. I'll be honest, this movie starts quite slow. It builds up its premise with character interactions and the slow looming threat of an angel bullying its main character to do something, anything. But with that said, it pays off later when emotions get high. The melodrama is quite rewarding. It's a drama that heals you. It's strange really, but the drama isn't there to make characters ... feel stuff, it's there for conflicts to be resolved. And, I believe most movies don't do that. Colorful hits those sweet spots of redemption; everyone's beautiful, everyone's normal, no matter their flaws.

And that's Colorful for you.

WATCH IT WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN IT'S SUPER MAGICAL. PLS!

THE BEST SCENE WAS WHEN THEY [REDACTED] AND HE WAS LIKE [REDACTED] AND THEY WERE LIKE [REDACTED]...yeah.

It has that same healing power as A Place Further Than The Universe.

I watched this movie because I appreciate anime that convey harsh and difficult realities in life. Colorful is a movie that is a masterpiece in some aspects but mediocre in others.

Unlike other movies, I found most enjoyable aspect revolves around the story and the themes that are conveyed. The art and sound both seem reasonable but are lacking in comparison and could provide better support to the emotions this movie tries to convey.


Story: 10
Realistic and has a lot of depth. Imagine yourself entering the body of a young teenager who recently attempted suicide. You are discovering and wondering why he tried to suicide and ... relate with the problems he faced. Add to that the profound meanings hidden throughout the movie which you discover at the end and say "whoa". That's the movie story-line in a nutshell.

Art: 5
The art is reasonably good considering that the movie aired 9 years ago. Considering today's standards it is mediocre but did not really add to or take away from my experience.

Sound: 5
Mediocre. The music fails to really support emotions that the story conveys. Although it wasn't bad, I am extremely disappointed because I feel like it could've really brought everybody to tears if done properly.

Character: 10
Colorful gives the impression that everybody is "clean" but spares no effort in revealing the "ugly" in many characters over time. The movie is realistic and full of people you would hate. People who are hateful, jealous, bullies, inconsiderate, ignorant and every other characteristic you could possibly despise. We are limited to the viewpoint of the protagonist, so he becomes the focal-point for character development while we lack some understanding about other characters.

Enjoyment/Overall: 8
I personally enjoyed this movie a little extra because I could relate with the struggles of the protagonist. People have to deal with hate because of family abuse, being cheated on and generally being victimized. Colorful conveys a valuable lesson about this issue.

Underrated movie, definitely a must-watch for those who love the supernatural!
Cried like a whole ton throughout the entire movie especially nearing the climax (no spoilers) & does make people think about the meaning of life when watching this movie!
This movie is really slow paced at the beginning so you have to be patient to wait until the plot unfolds.
Even though the artwork is pretty average, the unique plot makes up for everything!
I didn't have much expectations before watching this movie as I am not a huge fan of the artwork, and I was pleasantly surprised to how much I like this movie after I ... finished watching it!
Please give this movie a chance if you are into this type of genre!

Likes its title, this movies really colorful, which is almost make me screaming with full of emotion. No matter what, what ever people said, the moral message get really deep into my inner heart. The ending too was really shock me, and even get attacking my weak heart so hard. So meaning, im crying in the end. Im crying like a baby when the last painting is able to be finished. Purapura, and his misteryous backstory will ever get into my mind for another day in the future. Oh well!

By raising super heavy themes, such as near death, reincarnation, and the twists-turns schemes of dark ... life in the world, this old film is able to turn that heavy view into an animated story that is so light, and of course being colorful. Thats the mark with bold sign by me: A colorful life. Why you wanna die if the life truely colorful? Even every people in this world get worst part than yours, but they still work hard to make theirself happy. Why you sad over something when that thing must become your great thing?

Because humans do not consist of only one kind of color. But from a variety of colors. Although it comes from a dirty color, like a black, everything is not wrong. What we need to do is keep moving forward in full color. Because we will never know the color of our own lives. Because our lifes are so colorful. So, why do we have to give up and let the color disappear? Those are some of the phrases tucked in the strands of conversation that flows so beautifully in these film. Really amazing, i even can not say anything except tearing my eyes. How silly me, but thats shit actually happen, man, really.

I don't even need to explain anymore for the development of stories and even characters. Everything flows so beautifully. A fantastic approaching really show to me how hard they make this masterpiece becomes real. Carefully, they play the audience's feelings with all the explanations given. All moral messages can be conveyed clearly, until the end of the separation. Yes, i shall this from very early attempts, this show is masterpiece. 10 per 10 for all parts, all sections, i give my respect for the story, and its studio whom make this magnificent animations. Simple, but full of emotion, full of moral lesson. This show is for you. Who believe, Suicide is the best way to end the suffering.

That is the biggest mistake. Because you can still be useful, even for others who don't care at all. There is always a way to continue to contribute, even if its small. No need to worry, your problem always same for the other person. So why you worry that much and burrying it by yourself? Share it, and you will get your color becomes the truth.

Ah, maybe its too much. But, this review still be my shortest approaching for the movies. However, what else i can write? All good thing just pointed out above, nothing else can i write. Just see by yourself, and feel the MC feelimg into the shiney one. Believe it, keep believing, and colorful being began to shine.

I'd put this one in the popcorn flick basket, something to watch for the sake of something to watch, check-off your list, then forget about.

Artwork and storyline are okay, didn't really identify with the characters. Actually the main character is kinda annoying, especially the way he treats his mother. And how he doesn't ever seriously try to figure out his identity, just mopes about all the time. The opening presents him as the spirit of a returning man, but he acts immaturely, as if he's the boy. It's confusing and an obstacle for viewers to develop any relationship with the protagonist.

I watched this Colourful only ... a few months ago and hardly remember it. Enjoyable enough for a night-in but probably not something that will leave a lasting impression.
