Rainbow: Nishakubou no shichinin

" Dark, gritty, and powerful, this isn't your typical anime".

I can't put in words on how amazing this anime was, it really caught me by surprise. The music was absolutely amazing, especially the opening which got me hyped, the visuals were well done and I didn't really have any problems with it. The tone or the vibes this anime was gave off was crazy, sometimes I would be happy, sometimes sad, I almost cried one time also. The attention to detail this anime gave was amazing, how post war japan was like and the trials and tribulations the people had to go through. I was moved by what the people had to go through, it feels real because it is based on things that actually happened and so I was really connected with the characters. The plot and the pacing was well done, it wasn't too slow or too fast. A single episode wasn't wasted and had some meaning to it. The themes this anime discusses include friendship, humility and perseverance, and they did it in way that wont hurt the plot, characters, or the story. It really is a true slice of life anime...

Overall it was really done, I loved it and I really enjoyed it, top 5 anime that I have watched so far. Things that I had slight problems with it include telling more about their origin stories, I felt like the some of the 7 main characters didn't get enough spotlight. They should have done a couple of more episodes based in the juvenile centre because it felt pretty short, and some interaction with the other inmates. Lastly some parts were questionable and unanswered.

Memorable: Sort of Rewatchable: Yes.

The history goes in a dark time, and even with the perils they continue fighting hard for their lifes. It's a very emotional anime.

This is an absolute diamond in the rough. The first episode is slow and dark, yet throughout the 26 available episodes, you will trek through every emotion: anger, disgust, happiness, laughter, love, and sadness. It is a rollercoaster whose theme sticks through till the end.

I am SO glad I decided to give this show a chance and will recommend it to anyone looking for a story with true substance. Easily a 10/10.

Sabse alag tha ye poori zindagi yaad rakhunga 😭😭😭

Abhi toh aadha dekha h.

Ye Deere deere dark hota jata h .

I am writing this review too get attached to it forever.....forever

It's the most amazing one.

Around ten years after World War II, a group of juvenile delinquents are sent to Shounan Special Reform School, a type of juvenile prison, to deal with the atrocities and injustices they experienced during the war. There is already an inmate living there who is now trying to teach the youngsters about friendship and guide them through various difficulties that arise.

"Rainbow" did a great job of showing the bonding of the characters like no other anime before, in my opinion.

The story that is told is anything but boring and really captivated me.

The characters themselves are also beautifully written.

There is also a good drawing style.

Rainbow only doesn't get a 10/10 from me because I wouldn't mention it in my favorite animes, but that's more because there are simply anime series that have flashed me a lot more.

The anime is really HIGHLY recommended!
