While it is not the greatest series out there, Myriad Colors Phantom World is enjoyable overall.

The universe created is quite interesting from the Phantoms and the powers humans obtained (as well as how that came to be). The actual story is pretty simple, following our main cast and their jobs involving the Phantoms. Most episode were kind of like the "monster of the week" type of feel, with a couple cases where there were two-parters. These episodes also gave us the background on the characters, which is normal, but it also wasn't too forced. There is also some very useful information told in regards to the human psyche, which is supposed to be one of the main themes of the series.

The characters were fun to watch, with good chemistry and enough screen time to make them worth caring about. For the most part, we focus on the main cast (secondary characters don't play any significance to the story). There was one character who, after the first episode, I thought I was not going to like because of their personality. However, after seeing an episode focusing on them, and learning more about them (as well as remembering their voice actor, to whom I'm a fan), they began to grow on me a bit.

There's not much I can about the animation, as Kyoto Animation (or KyoAni, for short) does yet another fantastic job. They have a distinct look and feel where I can watch a series without prior knowledge on the studio behind it and can tell right away it's KyoAni.

As much as I thoroughly enjoyed the series, there are some aspects that I feel should have been explained or fleshed out more, but for what's it's worth, it was all right. This would be a series I recommend, especially if you are a fan of KyoAni.
