Have you ever wondered how your childhood would be like if you were like hyper-active children, going around and creating nonsense antics like doing fake cases of evil and just annoying that figure of evil (whom you perceive IS) and making the world around you a better place through endless adventures? Then this show is for you: another Winter 2018 SoL series, and one of the better ones too that I enjoy tremendously and had good laughs out of it.

Mitsuboshi Colors, based off the manga series of the same name, tells the story (WHAT story? It's a SoL!) of 3 "cute girls doing cute things":
The red-haired Leader, Yui, whose antics don't follow up to the other Colors members and gets tricked by the others a lot with her cuteness;
The yellow-haired Sat-chan, who regards everything as poop, and OMG does she have a wicked sense of sarcasm against the "enemy" Saito, a policeman who's really protecting the city but gets hampered by the Colors' attacks and ends up being savaged by them most of the time.
The blue-haired Kotoha, who always has her 3DS with her most of the time: a proclaimed video gamer whose hands don't easily attach from her ALL the time, and seriously hates losing to the point she ravages even to the Colors.

Even the other people coming into contact with the Colors (Saito the eternal enemy, Nonoka the savage learner, Daigorou the uncle who owns a rag-tag shop of stuff that the Colors always use) are really enjoyable to watch just from the interaction of the Colors alone, and the thought that the Colors just being naive, savage and their funny sense of rude humor just chuckles the mind, heart and soul.

If you have watched Non Non Biyori (by the same studio: Silver Link), expect more of the same art style here, while it's nothing special, it's clear that Silver Link didn't want the artwork as an appealing point of the series, and focuses mainly on the characters to help sell the show. To be honest, I was worried that the sub-par artwork will turn me off from the show, aside from the humorous character development, but it turns out that I was really worried for nothing, as the enjoyment factor outweighs even the biggest of flaws of the show.

The sound here might be nothing special, but in all honesty, I really enjoyed what the OST has to offer, ever more so that our main Colors helmed the OP and ED, and have become instant favorites of mine this Winter season.

Overall, a seriously underrated show that's not very fanciful, yet doesn't have much to sacrifice for, and a pleasant show to relieve all the days of childhood nostalgia. A recommended watch (as much for a series about kids) and be glad that your best days may be over but through the power of Mitsuboshi Colors, you can relieve them in the utmost funny gag-tone way possible.
