Audience Member Most underated Anime. Totally mis understood by Western critics who do not know Japanese society and the many problems they have. The Story told hit home hard. The Backgrounds are realistic, characters a little lacking in detail but the expressions are great. Transalation to English loses the meaning on occasions but they did their best and only complaint was all the cables on the bikes disappear when the they are zooming down the road to a shoe store. Western critics and some westerns with non Japanese understanding will not get it. But for those that do - brilliant.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Late R The pacing is a little bit off and could have been handled better, but 'Colorful' is still a film with a truly beautiful sentiment and a lot to teach, particularly those of the younger generation who may be far too quick to judge others. The animation is nothing special, but that's not so important as it's the emotional and contemplative scenes along with rich character development that really makes this more mature feeling and surprisingly insightful animation that stands out from the crowd.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A film with a supernatural twist that explores the emotional complexity of life. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review david l With terrific character development filled with realistic and wonderfully realized characters, deft editing, superb dialogue, some incredibly emotional, even heartbreaking sequences and amazing animation that is at times even artistic, Colorful may have a contrived ending and the tone is not handled properly, but that tone is so mature and dark which was refreshing to witness, it has a complex and deep story filled with beautifully explored themes of loneliness, suicide, different personality traits, friendship and pressures of graduation. Colorful is the kind of movie that is perfect in many respects and a reason why I watch movies. It feeds both my brain and soul, it is smart and incredibly emotional without being sappy and it is a terrific achievement and one of the most shamefully underrated and rarely seen anime films in recent years.
