Story 7/10
The story is set in a world with magic and initially starts 60 years into the future, but immediately starts of by sending our protagonist to the past with time magic. The magic is often something that is just present, but not really the primary focus of the show. Besides the magic the setting is basically modern day Japan and the show doesn’t really do anything crazy with it.
The plot of the show is a sweet tale about an emotionless girl who lost the ability to see colours and learns how to open up to people. Right from the start the story shows some promise, but it never really lives up to its potential. However that doesn’t mean the story is bad. In fact the story is quite good, but it drags out a bit in the middle. The finale is the emotional highlight of the show and it definitely feels earned. The dialogue in the show is top notch and feels very natural.
Art 9/10
The show looks absolutely gorgeous, and makes great use of lighting. The backgrounds look awesome. The colour palette is very natural, but the show also likes to play with colours as the main character is colourblind. Character design is great as well, all the characters look very natural, the only exceptions being the hair colours of the magic characters. The animation is fairly fluid, but not all that special in comparison with the art.
Sound 7/10
The sound design is very solid, but not necessarily anything special. The magic sounds nice and the other effects sound fairly natural. The music enhances the scenes in which it is played. The voice acting is good and especially the main character does a great job conveying the growth of the character with voice acting.
Character 7/10
The characters in the show all have their own personalities and each and every one of them feels like a real person. Most of them also show some clear growth over the course of the show. The group of characters together also feel like I could go outside and meet people like them. There aren’t that many side characters, but the ones that do pop up aren’t anything special.
Enjoyment 7/10
The show is a great watch with satisfying progression from start to finish. Not only is the show satisfying to watch it is also amazing eye candy. There were a few parts where I got a bit annoyed at the series, but never enough to take away from my enjoyment.
Overall 7/10
