Considering the title of this anime, one might assume it's about a girl who has magical prism powers. Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s no supernatural powers here. For a 12 minute OVA, Nijiiro Prism Girl is very fast paced. Without a doubt, this anime expects you to adapt to the world and characters that are presented to you. I, myself, love a good flushed out romance story, but this cuts straight into the climactic events in a short amount of time without the extra buildup. In the 12 minute time frame they had, the series provided a quick backstory for each character that was encountered. With that being said, the anime managed to keep me somewhat attached to the story while keeping me “in the moment."
However, Nijiiro Prism Girl entertaining me as a comedy, failed to do so. Nijiiro Prism Girl’s comedy is based on the main character’s ability to improv in an unexpected situation. There were a few scenes that made me a smirk, but overall, it couldn’t bring me to enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Another flaw that Nijiiro Prism Girl has is its generic art style. Characters that are presented don’t have distinctive looks that make them stand out. Of course, you’d expect an anime to have an opening and ending theme song. In Nijiiro Prism Girl, there’s only an ending theme song which isn’t very remarkable at the slightest bit.
Unfortunately, this show suffers from being just another anime due to its generic art style, forgettable two-dimensional characters, and uninspiring score. I won’t say that I didn’t enjoy this, which I did, but if you have time to kill and want to see a few suspenseful romantic interactions between characters, feel free to watch this. Other than that, I don’t think I’ll be watching this again.
