![]() ![]() I just wished the characters were as equally vibrant. Iroduku: The World in Colours is a vibrant anime, visually. I had more fun following their club activities than the romantic sub-plot and colour mystery itself. It just wasn’t epic in any way, but made sense, nonetheless. The ending sequence was rather gimmicky and cliche, but manages to wrap everything up nicely. As with all time travel-themed shows, there will be time paradoxes and wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, so you’ll get a fair share of those things towards the end. It took away the suspense element of it, especially since everyone just dismissively passed it off as “wow, you can time travel? Magic really is cool.”Įven so, Hitomi and Kohaku did pull off some cool things with their magic, which improved club activities and brought them closer to solving her problem. One of the plot points I disliked is the part where Hitomi’s time travel was accidentally revealed to the rest, and it was rather early in the anime too. Other interesting stuff includes Hitomi being taught how to use a monochromatic camera and develop the film for it, as the photos end up as black and white, exactly as how she sees the world. The first clue to Hitomi’s problem was in one of Aoi’s drawings involving a golden fish, where Hitomi was actually able to see colours, which I find added a hint of suspense. There are some nice activities like photoshoots. The story mainly covers the activities of the Photography Club, and Kohaku trying to figure out how to restore Hitomi’s colours. It just felt like a typical romance/drama anime to me. Hence, I didn’t find character development to be remarkable or outstanding. The club president is always leading forward in terms of club activities and looking out for his members. In terms of character development, Hitomi hates magic and rarely uses it, but with Kohaku’s guidance, she gradually picks it up when she realizes that her magic can make people around her happy. At that point, there’s a lot of tears and running away awkwardly, so just be prepared for that. They also go through stuff like Guy A confessing to Girl A, but Girl A likes Guy B, and Girl B who actually likes Guy A becomes jealous of Girl A, stuff like that.Īs for Hitomi and her love interest, it does take a while for them to open up as both have unresolved internal issues, hence making the romance bit a slow burn, which ramps up only around the last 4 episodes of the show. Each member of the Photography Club has their own area of interests, and like Hitomi, they too have their own internal struggles, which briefly show during club activities every now and then.Īs romance is one of the aspects in this series, the series does have the run-of-the-mill elements like most of the core characters having someone they like, either implied or revealed later on. There’s also a heavy slice-of-life element to the show. ![]() Younger Kohaku is voiced by Kaede Hondo, the voice behind Sakura Minamoto from Zombieland Saga.Ī running theme of the show is the amount of hugs Hitomi gets, which is rather wholesome considering her glum and dull demeanour. Soon after, the Kohaku in the past, who also goes to the same school, meets up with her future grand daughter, and so begins their quest to solve Hitomi’s problem.īy the way, one of the first friends Hitomi makes, Asagi, is voiced by Kana Ichinose, the voice behind Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx. When Hitomi arrived 60 years in the past, the first few people she met were members of the Photography Club, who would go on to becoming her good friends throughout the series. I like the soft colours used in the cafe, especially the glow of the overhead lamp.Īnimation Quality score: 9.00/10 Characters The anime has its fair share of picturesque scenery. The visual aesthetics were very pleasing. The colours were very vibrant and dynamic, rather fitting since colours and magic was the central theme of the show. P.A Works who worked on previous titles like Angel Beats!, has outdone themselves with the animation of Iroduku. Soundtrack score: 6.25/10 Animation Quality As for background music, they were used appropriately, nothing really out of place or remarkable. I especially like the ending theme, “Mimei no Kimi to Hakumei no Mahou” by Nagi Yanagi, a mixture of vibrance and serenity. As such, her grandmother, Kohaku, used time magic to send her 60 years into the past, to the high school where a younger Kohaku goes to, in an effort to seek answers to restore colours to her world. Set in a world where magic and mages exist in the modern world, Hitomi Tsukishiro has lost the ability to see colours at an early age, her life being equally as dull with only black, white, and grey. ![]()
