Featured reviews
Not every anime movie has to be good.
This one has very good backgrounds but they look like photographs. Not even that is good.
We have to be critical sometimes. Not all full length anime movies have to be good, even when they try/fake to be deep, they are terribly shallow and weird. Maybe people can think it's because Japanese people lacks sensibility, but as you can see on Ghibli's films, it is nothing like that. This one is a terribly boring, ilogical film, that fakes to be a great movie. I give it a three start because the artists at least did a good job.
- the plot does not advance at all.
- feelings are all ankward. It doesn't make sense why he behaves the way he does. How he talks to people and why he hurts others.
- animation in sometimes very very bad.
- the motivation of the main character is never explained. His coldness is also never explained.
- the reason why he gets friendly put of the blue with his only friend, when others treat him the same way, and why he laughs at him anyway, is never explained.
- the reason why he is cruel with the rest does not make sense.
- fake feelings, cheesy. Anime is in general that way but this one goes too far.

Based on the novel, by Eto Mori, Colorful is made by the veteran animation director Keiichi Hara. The movie was a project suggested by Sunrise's president Kenji Uchida to director Hara, and took five years in the making, beginning from their first meeting.
The movie is absolutely stunning in its production. I give lot of credit to director Hara for all the attention to details he's put in. His experience shows, and his clout in collecting the best talent is also evident in the people he's gathered to make this movie.
You really need to see this movie to appreciate the story, and the artistry. Never since the days of original Disney's animation, have an old school animation movie made with such high level of artistry.
This is a modern day classic, and worth every minute of your time to see it.

First, the story is kind of unique. Maybe too melancholly. But, the story has wonderfully been drawn into scenes and animations. Well, the animation itself is not perfect, but still can represented what the story want to tell.
Second, the perspective of story is also a great idea. It is a thoughtful imagination that been translated into scene by scene. Somehow, I just really appreciated the story been telling from this perspective.

This movie does have it's issues. For example the story is rather predictable and the protagonist at times it a bit too unlikable, however this doesn't stop this movie from being entertaining.
Great movie regarding mental health💫 and commitng suicide. Simply people who die by suicide don't want to end life they just want to end pain but it only passes the pain to people who cares for you.
People are no just monochromatic, they all have so many colors...it's fine to have many beautiful colors, ugly colors... And it's good to be colorful!!
All I learnt is that one good thing can change everything for someone, just have to good side of life.... 🌼
