Reviews for Mitsuboshi Colors

"Grownups are so busy. We can’t count on them." "Grownups don’t have energy. Kids have energy!" These lines are part of the cheerful opening theme of Mitsuboshi Colors and perfectly exemplify everything this anime is about. Forget about the troubles of your everyday life; it’s time to go outside, find your own adventure and have some fun! What I love about Mitsuboshi Colors is that it perfectly embraces everything that childhood is about. Normally in CGDCT anime you either get to see some sort of glorified moeness or some rather absurdly chilled out atmosphere, but this is different. Not that those two concepts aren’t good mind you, butthey feel very "anime" in the sense that they don’t really represent how young girls actually behave very often in real life. But Mitsuboshi Colors is the opposite. It is much more genuine and basically just showcases kids being kids. It’s blunt, silly, sometimes crude yet very relatable and charming because odds are you can look back on how you used to be yourself as a child and see yourself doing similar kinds of stupid things as the three girls in this anime are doing.

In short, Mitsuboshi Colors follows the energetic boke Sacchan who keeps wanting to go on adventures throughout the town, the smug and sadistic game-addict Kotoha, as well as the more reserverd "leader" and tsukkomi Yui. The trio have their own hideout in the form of a cabin in the forest where they hang out and try to come up with new ideas of fun things to do, which usually end up with them going on quests throughout the urban areas, either by their own volition or by pestering some of the shop owners or a local policeman they know into making them give them some fun challenge to complete (or in the case of the latter, they’re often just playing pranks on him too). The series revolves around their silly little adventures and the rather blunt interactions between the characters. It’s cute, but in a realistic sort of way rather than the moe overdose style that CGDCT anime usually tends to do. It’s childish, but oh so enjoyable.

If you want a reference point then the closest series I can think of to this would be something like the Yotsubato manga, which is generally praised for more or less the exact same reasons, or arguably even Mitsudomoe to a certain extent. Either way it’s a breath of fresh air amongst the plethora of moe shows that come out every season nowadays, and in my opinion most definitely an anime worth checking out if you’re into slice of life and/or moe series in general. It certainly stands out from the crowd quite a bit.

Do you remember the time when you were a kid? Running around having fun, playing a game with your friends. Having a secret base to hang around after school. No? Well whatever, you might want to see it anyways. Mitsuboshi Colors is an anime about three young girls (in Elementary School) who plays together all the time at the park. They are the "Colors" which they claim to protect the peace of the city. Every episode is filled with them doing something, be it trying to solve problems given to them by people around them (Like Sacchan's Mother) or just having fun playing hide and seek. Theart is bright, clean, and colorful, supported by the upbeat and light-hearted soundtrack to bring about the fun and enthusiastic mood of the girls and overall feelings of the show. They also did a great job managing when to play the soundtrack to help with joke's punchlines and such.

For the characters, we have Yui (the Leader of Colors), Sacchan, and Kotoha. Yui is the more normal one. She feels innocent and a bit shy. She is usually not the one to come up with the wacky ideas. Sacchan is the most energetic and cheerful one, always talking a lot and comes up with puns from time to time. Kotoha seems to be the quieter and smarter one, often playing on her DS and usually the one being able to solve the puzzles. What makes these three feels so wonderful to watch is how they are similar to actual children. They don't hold back on what they do or say. Always energetic and finding fun stuffs to do, sometimes bothering the adults around them, doing things you're not supposed to do like going inside a restricted area just because they are curious. Everytime they talk, it sounds just like excitement filled children having fun, making me miss how i felt when i was a kid.

The other characters who are adults usually try their best to keep up with the Colors' energy, usually just ending up confused. Some help them have fun by creating a case to solve. Except one though, the security guard Saitou which is usually bothered by the kids. The Colors do things like trying to "defeat" him because the kids make him the antagonist who is the source of all problems in the city.

This is a very fun and enjoyable anime to watch. Every episode feels fresh, bringing up your mood with the childish jokes or fun antics the Colors do. I often find myself having to pause watching it to give myself some time to laugh. It also feels different every episode so it doesn't feel repetitive and boring. The anime also doesn't bring up any fanservice, which makes it nice and not awkward to watch. It's a kind where you can just watch kids having fun and being true to their nature which you might somewhat have lost.

Finally, an anime show that is funny and not the sci-fi over the top action ones. the story is simple. 3 kids having their fun in the city. with interesting characters such as Saito, grandpa, and nonoka. Aand thankfully they didn't lewd any of the characters. if they did I would've dropped it from the get-go. each episode is heartwarming and filled with childish jokes. these kinds of shows are rare. this show nails the childish side of kids. always energetic and not worried about the adults. they have their own world and they explore it in each episode. the voice actors deserve their own praise.sat chan, Yui and kotoha have a very convincing kid voice. not the loli squeaky voice, a proper one.

then there is the artwork. it was really like non non biyori and turns out it is the same studio that made non non biyori. which is awesome.

whom should I kill to have more animes like this....

Have you ever wondered how your childhood would be like if you were like hyper-active children, going around and creating nonsense antics like doing fake cases of evil and just annoying that figure of evil (whom you perceive IS) and making the world around you a better place through endless adventures? Then this show is for you: another Winter 2018 SoL series, and one of the better ones too that I enjoy tremendously and had good laughs out of it. Mitsuboshi Colors, based off the manga series of the same name, tells the story (WHAT story? It's a SoL!) of 3 "cute girls doing cute things":The red-haired Leader, Yui, whose antics don't follow up to the other Colors members and gets tricked by the others a lot with her cuteness;

The yellow-haired Sat-chan, who regards everything as poop, and OMG does she have a wicked sense of sarcasm against the "enemy" Saito, a policeman who's really protecting the city but gets hampered by the Colors' attacks and ends up being savaged by them most of the time.

The blue-haired Kotoha, who always has her 3DS with her most of the time: a proclaimed video gamer whose hands don't easily attach from her ALL the time, and seriously hates losing to the point she ravages even to the Colors.

Even the other people coming into contact with the Colors (Saito the eternal enemy, Nonoka the savage learner, Daigorou the uncle who owns a rag-tag shop of stuff that the Colors always use) are really enjoyable to watch just from the interaction of the Colors alone, and the thought that the Colors just being naive, savage and their funny sense of rude humor just chuckles the mind, heart and soul.

If you have watched Non Non Biyori (by the same studio: Silver Link), expect more of the same art style here, while it's nothing special, it's clear that Silver Link didn't want the artwork as an appealing point of the series, and focuses mainly on the characters to help sell the show. To be honest, I was worried that the sub-par artwork will turn me off from the show, aside from the humorous character development, but it turns out that I was really worried for nothing, as the enjoyment factor outweighs even the biggest of flaws of the show.

The sound here might be nothing special, but in all honesty, I really enjoyed what the OST has to offer, ever more so that our main Colors helmed the OP and ED, and have become instant favorites of mine this Winter season.

Overall, a seriously underrated show that's not very fanciful, yet doesn't have much to sacrifice for, and a pleasant show to relieve all the days of childhood nostalgia. A recommended watch (as much for a series about kids) and be glad that your best days may be over but through the power of Mitsuboshi Colors, you can relieve them in the utmost funny gag-tone way possible.

I made this early review because I feel this anime is clearly underappreciated in MAL, as it only had 7.18 rating by 2070 members at the time this review is writen. So, I encourage anyone who have not watch this gem to just try watching the 1st episode, i am sure you will want more. Story: The story is about 3 cute girls having adventure around their city. They create Colors team with the purpose to protect their city. They play game, solve detective case, tease cop, or just take a nap together in their hideout. Well, the story may not seem that special, but theway the girls carry out the story is what make it so special.

Characters: Here is the part that shine the most from this anime. Well, you may have seen a lot of "cute girls doing cute things" anime, but what make this anime become different is the 3 girls characters are acting like a real life girls in their age, which is around 9-10 years old. They are all act so naive, simple, and just having fun, but still have their own interesting personality.

Kotoha is the blue haired girls that always play her portable game console whenever wherever. She has a long hair and always wore hat which change in each occasion. Her personality is kinda twisted, as she always act like detective or spy, and sadistic to her friends sacchan. But she is overall still a kind little girl, and kinda act as a brain in their team. She is probably the best girl of this season for me, as i really love her attitude which always so cute and full of surprise, for example when the group found a locked safe and her friends hope it contains treasure or jewel, but she hope it contains human pinky or ear.

Sacchan is the yellow haired girls who is so hyperactive and act on impulse. She is the one who like doing mischievous act, and act as a push for her team to do something. One time she tease a random guy in akihabara asking his game console or she will scream.

Yui is the brown haired girls who the girls choose as their leader. She is little bit shy, and the one who really acts as a normal little girls in their age. She cried when the cop scold them, threaten them with Grenade launcher, and when she is told that the only way nature can be saved is by wiping out mankind. She act as a stopper in their team from doing something excessive. And she is probably the kindest girls in the world.

Art and Sound: well, i never decide to like or give score to an anime based on art and sound. But for me the art of Mitsuboshi Colors is really amazing, they display the background kinda like in real Ueno Prefecture, the place and stuff that exist in the anime also exist in real life, such as the panda box, the police office, the bakery, etc. The characters animation is kinda similar to anime Strawberry Marshmallow but with overall improvement.

For the sound, I think it is also pretty good, with its overall cheerfulness theme. The OP and ED song is really amazing with the 3 girls VA as the singer, especially I really like the opening song as i rewind it so many times til i am bored.

Enjoyment: yeah, this is the anime with full of enjoyment. Just watching the girls having fun adventure, made me forget my real life problem and reminiscing my childhood. And watching the girl cuteness somehow made me want to make my own. Jk.

Overall this is anime with a lot of cuteness and fun, no drama, and no excessive characters emotion plot which is usually happen and ruin other cute girls doing cute things anime. Oh, and for bonus this anime is also full of high quality meme material.

I have mixed feelings about Mitsuboshi Colors. At times im really enjoying it, others it takes multiple sittings to get through an episode. Sometimes I find myself admiring the cute art, but then animation quality takes away from it. Mitsuboshi Colors is constantly jumping from a 3/10 to a 7/10 and its hard to rate it. Comedy is the main genre of this show, and at times it is doing a good job of it. The blue haired girl is especially funny in my opinion. However not all the comedic parts are funny, they can be very boring at times and make me lose interestquickly. These boring parts seem to outweigh the funny ones which really takes away from the enjoyment.

Another huge flaw in this show is the animation. Yes it has a very nice art style, but it feels like im watching a slide show at times. This show uses a lot of still images throughout the episodes, while in moderation isn't that bad but this show does it too much. The backgrounds are surprisingly really good despite the low animation quality, however some background characters lose facial features

Overall, this show had potential but is let down by the production quality and a very hit and miss comedy. Watch it if you want, however i wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this to anyone

Before reviewing, I need to thank all the staff involved in creating Mitsuboshi colors, which is one of the most wholesome, cute and joyful anime ever created. This anime allows us all to experience the heart of children, or fun and privileged of being a child again. It is not a perfect anime, but talking about anime that excels at what they are doing, this anime is a masterpiece. Story: 10/10 The story is about our protagonists, who are three naughty elementary school girls with different personality, formed a team called colors to "protect the peace of the street area" (actually they are just playing around).All the episodes are about events related to the theme of childhood fun, like going to zoo and museum or playing hide-and-seek, which is rarely depicted in anime, and they done it perfectly.

Art: 8/10

The choice of art, like the hair colours of the kids, are vivid and distinct, which fit the atmosphere of the show. They borrow the art style of Ichigo Marshimaro for the three little girls, which is one of the most cute, but not sexual way, to draw lolis. This is a brilliant and safe choice, as it tremendously helps people to actually concentrate on the content of the show.

This anime still has the traditional "Silver Link problem", which is to have a small budget, which led to the heavy use of simplified art work and still frames and photos. However, they handle this limitation in the least possibly harmful way, it rarely distract the viewers from the experience (the bgm helps a lot). In this respect, other studios should learn take notes from Silver Link in how to make good anime with small budget.

Moreover, even with the limited budget, they still try their best to be detail with their art. It is done with the attires, which a lot of people could overlook. Every mother would admit that one of the biggest fun of having children is to dress them. Watching our cute lolis in over 100 different attire combined throughout the series is definitely an additional fun to the series. These are the little things that display the heart of the staff without burning money.

Sound: 9/10

BGM, OP and EDs are all outstanding and fitting. I took away one mark because the BGM for the first episode is too loud. It would definitely be fixed on BD release. Voice acting is on point for all of the characters.

Character: 10/10

The character is usually the best part of a Slice of Life anime, Mitsuboshi Colors is no exception. The personality and behaviour of Yui, Sacchan and Kotoha are all extremely well-crafted. The author must have spent a lot of time observing kids when creating them. Explaining their characters would involve spoilers, but I would say every one of them has her own "kid's philosophy" to support the way they act, and they are all pure and simple, but not one-dimensional.

The rest of the cast are made up of nice people that would play with the kids, which provide a heartwarming atmosphere for the show. The chemistry between them and the policeman Saito is one of the funniest thing of the anime too.

Enjoyment: 10/10

Instead of "acting cute" like most moe anime, this anime aim at acting natural, which resembles the cute side of children in real life. This type of cuteness is much more precious in anime, the closest thing is probably Renge from Non Non Biyori, and Ichigo Mashimaro.

Mitsuboshi Colours have better comedy (though in sacrifice for the comfortableness) when comparing with the two anime I've mentioned, as it is a story about three naughty kids, not just one Renge or Miu. There are countless hilarious scenes throughout the story, especially in scene that display the way of thinking by children.

All in all, I would rate Mitsuboshi colours a 10 out of 10, and hopefully everyone can experience childhood fun once again through this amazing anime.

Story: 7/10 Three girls created an organisation called "Colors" to fight crime and protect the peace of their town. It's a kid's dream and everyone at one point has wanted to become a hero. Every day, you get to experience the daily life of three girls. It's nostalgic and you get to reminisce your childhood. Art: 9/10 There's good detail to the background, you can see they put a lot of effort in areas where some people wouldn't even focus on. Sound: 6/10 When the soundtrack comes on at certain scenes, it makes you feel really hyped up and excited. Character: 8/10 The characters are so fun,the mischievous kids, Saito, the dad, etc. Every character is so unique and fun to watch.

Enjoyment/Overall: 7/10

It does get a bit boring and less interesting every episode. It's cute and fun to watch though, don't get me wrong, but it isn't an anime that I would watch again.

This one is tricky. Mitsuboshi Colors is a great series - if you watch it with the right mindset. On the surface it may look like other slice of life - comedy animes as Non Non Biyori or Ichigo Mashimaro (specially with the resemblance between Saki from Colors and Miu from Ichigo): three young girls fooling around, trying to have fun while their enjoy their ordinary everyday lives. The difference here is that the more healing / slice of life aspect of the series, in the sense that you connect with the characters, get to like them, start caring for them and just feel happy havingthem around, just doesn't work here. Why? Well, let's talk about Color's characters for a minute.

You have Kotoha, who is basically a sociopath addicted to videogames that seems to enjoy violence and the idea to make others suffer, and who doesn't care about anything as long as she is amused. She is the most mature and intelligent of the bunch, which makes her actions even more criticizable. Then you have Saki, a chaotic force of nature whose only goal is having fun. She has a hyperactive and explosive personality and no good ideas; even if she doesn’t come up as a bad person, she is probably the most annoying of the three.

Lastly, there’s Yui, a shy and simple girl who usually gets worried about the other two’s absurd plans. But if you think that then she is a good girl, don’t be fooled: if Saki comes and, out of boredom, says: “Hey, let’s go fight Saitou!” (the local security guard), she will smile and say: “Ok!”. Well, they live in their own world and just do not care, as, at the end of the day, they are just children - but they are as inconsiderate and annoying as children can be. You wouldn’t want these girls around. They are not your friends.

So, it is very difficult to actually like these characters at a human level; does it mean that there’s nothing to like about them? Not at all, as they are pretty hilarious. That’s the important point here: you have to understand this as purely a comedy. And, as long as it is funny, anything goes.

As a comedy, I like a lot of things from Colors: all that the characters have wrong at a personal level, they have right at being funny – specially Saki, whose crazy and inappropriate occurrences give some of the series’ best moments (thanks also to an amazing voice acting work). The chemistry between the girls is really good, and also between some of the secondary characters (like the high school girl Nonoka) – I have to say that I do not enjoy how they systematically abuse Saitou, but some hilarious moments are also to be found there.

I really like how the three girls think and act as actual children, they are not sexualized, and have the motivations and the way of seeing the world as children have – it makes us think of simpler and happier times, and it feels pretty refreshing. I also like how all the action is centered around a specific real life location (Ueno, in Tokyo), and how it is depicted.

Overall, I ended up enjoying this series a lot. The first couple of episodes are not the best ones, so I would suggest to keep watching until a bit later. I do not think this is for everyone, as if you do not find the comedy aspect funny, there is not a lot else worth it IMO - but if you do, you are in for a treat.

"A fun anime lacking in budget" Pros: 1. Fun characters 2. Relaxing to watch Cons: 1. Lacks animation budget 2. Cliche characters, may not be likable to some people<LONG REVIEW>

Tbh, Mitsuboshi Colors is my most anticipated series of Winter 2018. I love this kind of series that showcases the more realistic sides of kids, such as Ichigo Marshmallow and Non non biyori. Most modern anime nowadays tend to moe-fied them too much, not that I dislike it though.I enjoy watching Mitsuboshi Colors, but it still did disappoint me in some aspect.

Firstly, Mitsuboshi Colors lacks the animation budget. I can forgive that if this is animated by some new studios out there, but Silver Link isn't that kind of studio that lacks budget or human resources. I mean, they did do a good job at animating Non non biyori, but in Mitsuboshi Color's case, the lack of animation budget is just saddening. Some scenes weren't even properly animated. They were just replaced with still frames. The framerate, compared to Slow Start next door, isn't even that high. Characters often have only simplistic movements. Compared to Slow Start, the characters in this anime isn't as much engaging.

Speaking about the characters, each character is likable, at least for me. If you are those who hate kids, then I highly recommend you to skip this. Watching this won't change your taste because as I already said, this anime showcases the real sides of kids, which is innocent, cute, annoying and naughty. Also, the characters aren't that deep. What I am getting at is that the characters in this series doesn't go through any drama and development. We can't learn much about the characters. So, if you are one that want characters to develop or to be double layered, then kindly remove this from your PTW list.

The VA's did a fantastic job at voicing the characters. It really adds in more to the characteristics of each character.

Overall, I do enjoy watching Mitsuboshi Colors. Will I recommend it? Maybe. If you like series like Non non biyori and Ichigo Marshmallow, then do check this anime out. If you don't like Slice of Live anime in general, then skip this.

This is an entry in the "cute girls doing cute things" category, but deviates from that category in several ways that make it special. First, they're really little girls, not yet in school I think. Second, they have a really neat fantasy that the share: They're protectors of the town, specifically of Ueno Park and environs. Put these two factors together and you get the rare "kids say the darnedist things" result. It's a great result. At first I though this would just be a CGDCT standard, but pretty soon instead of just lying back and watching the cuteness, after a couple of episodes I wasgrinning like a fool. The girls are lovable and the most fun thing about them is, they are serious about their duty as protectors of the town, and they have no clue how funny that often makes them talk and behave.

Takes your mind right off your troubles!

This is such an adorable anime. I'll let you know from the start this anime is about 3 lolis playing around their town every episode. That's basically the whole idea of it. So if you hate kids or don't like lolis then you're definitely not going to enjoy this at all. Story There isn't much of a story. Colors are the protectors of this panda-themed town. As a panda fan myself, Colors are indeed doing a great job. So we have Yui, Kotoha, and Sat-chan. The three of them are the colors who solve cases in order to save the town. It's a slice of lifestyle with tons of comedy and poop-jokes.

Art

Not anything special, honestly. It looks good, of course, but not overly detailed or impressive. I personally prefer it this way because it makes it somehow more suitable for a child-themed anime. Don't get me wrong, it IS nicely-drawn and everything, but if it were an epic drawing style or something really impressive, I'd have started taking this show seriously when it's supposed to be for entertainment purposes. In other words, it's cute.

Character Development

Almost null. I'd have appreciated it if there were some since we're seeing the childhood of the three lolis, so some development to their personalities would have added another perspective to the show. Even the people of the town don't really face any changes in them, but those aren't as important anyway. This anime primarily focuses on a comic perspective and that's all what it gives.

Entertainment

Really amazing. I found myself grinning almost every single episode that my face sometimes felt numb. This really is where this show shines from Sat-chan's poop jokes to Yui's hilarious expressions.

If you're watching something somehow dark-themed or just finished watching one and are looking for a break to heal your soul a little then this one is a light anime that will provide you with just what you need.

This anime got me a lot is very funny and fun to watch Story: 4 History is very normal / common that there is nothing so different from the other anime comedies with cute girls but still like the others he is quite funny :). Art: 5 The art is very cool but the design of the three characters are very similar (the eyes are the same as each other), the ambiance is okay. Sound: 6 The soundtrack is a lot of fun but it's also not a big eye-popping thing, but it's cool with a lot of funny scenes.Character: 3

The three main characters are very generic but functional since the purpose of the anime is to do comedy (but nonetheless they are still generic) but I like them: P.

Enjoyment: 8

The anime is a lot of fun (for my sense of comedy), because it's a bunch of kid making crap.

Overall: 6

I really liked this anime is very fun, funny and yummy to watch,

It does not have my god that genius but it has some nice balconies and yes I recommend it.

Mitsuboshi Colors is a little heartwarming anime that centers around the daily antics of the self-styled "Colors"; a group of elementary-aged schoolgirls who defend the city of Ueno from one and all evils who may rear their ugly head from around the horizon! (Well, not really, if you carefully think about it. But that would be a topic for another occasion if anything, lol.) One of the first things that came to my mind once starting this series is just how seemingly similar it appeared to be to the many children's cartoons from around the 90s and 2000s (think Arthur, and alike properties from that time,for example,) I grew up with during the first decade of the third millennium or so, both on its themes and characters.

We follow a cast of three first or second grade school children (as mentioned previously) on their daily antics, little adventures they embark upon in order to prevent dark forces from taking place in their hometown, as well as their simple and far-between academic activities they get assigned by their teachers who, more often than not, involve them doing some sort of community labor in an environment who we were already familiar via exposure on previous episodes. There isn’t really that much variation through the show when it comes to that aspect.

And, despite Ueno being a fairly urbanized locality, belonging to the Greater Tokyo Area in all of its vastness and immensity, the majority its runtime is spent in somewhat natural setting, actually. As the girls prefer to hang around less dense arounds, such as zoos, parks, and riverfronts. And when they do not, they usually resign themselves to not stray too far from them either.

This anime does not contend with a high amount of characters, nor does it throw an extensive amount of information the direction of the spectator's face; it is rather limited when it comes to what it proposes to deliver and the simplicity of its themes and episodes means a viewer who wasn’t following the history closely or not paying attention otherwise could easily pick up the plot again by simply rewinding a few minutes or being more observant of what happens next in that chapter.

Contrary to this being a negative, however it makes the series easy to follow to pretty much everyone and quick to swallow to an even wider audience. It compensates for its lack of complexity, also, with a copious number of quirks and personality; as every single one of its characters have a unique vibe and gimmick going on with them: from the cheery, energetic, but vulgar, sometimes, Sat-chan, the “yellow” member of the Colors and the one who usually deals with the more physical and demanding tasks the group has put up with. To the fatherly albeit rather eccentric in more than one single way "Oyaji", variety store owner and next-door neighbor to the girls who serves as the catalyst for most of the Colors’s “quests” through most of its episodes. To Saito, bored-out-of-his-mind policeman who, probably, would rater not deal with the schoolchildren’s nonsense should he be given the chance.

Not forgetting, of course, of secondary personalities who, despite not having as much screentime as the aforementioned cast members, such as Sasaki Nonoka – the group’s friend from a higher school grade, and Kise Saori – Sat-chan’s mother, still manage to make their presence welcome through their positive contributions to the show given their unique personalities.

This is one of these series most viewers would describe as “never getting boring”. Believe me on that one.

The scenography and characters are polished and well designed as well, as the BGM is, overall. The producers responsible for this anime really took their time as to make their world feel as alive and immersive as possible; most of the background images turn out are actually photos of real places with an anime filter drawn upon them, being them delightful to look at in the vast majority of occasions.

If I had to point one gripe I had with the more technical aspects of this series, however, it would be towards its intro; which sounds like a sort of boring uninspired, repetitive melody, at least in my opinion. This is especially bad considering the intro is the first (or one of the first, at least) things a viewer sees once he clicks on the episode of an anime he has interest in watching; thus, it helps to set the mood and to some extent, the identity and feel of said show going forward. The cold and generic melody I encountered once starting watching took me off of what otherwise would otherwise be warm and charming experience definitively not deserving of such a modern-sounding mediocrity.

So, my final toughs on this anime: if you enjoyed (or still enjoy, nothing wrong with that) the aforementioned children's cartoons from the second paragraph I mentioned previously, then possibly you would enjoy Mitsuboshi Colors as well. On the contrary, if you have never seen such cartoons but enjoy little wholesome comedies with an easy to follow “story” and memorable cast then I would also give this anime a shot, because its contents and easy-going nature will no doubt leave members of both audiences satisfied for what is worth and capable to offer.

Reading the synopsis and looking at the poster for Mitsuboshi Colors, I thought it was going to be an uninteresting CGDCT anime that I would check out the first episode for and then never watch it again afterwards. I ended up getting something completely different from my expectations in that I found the comedy to be very good, often hilarious at time and that the cast of characters were very entertaining. Flash forward all the way to the last episode and I'm a bit sad that this fantastic show has come to an end. Now if I were to summarize some of my thoughts on MitsuboshiColors, firstly, the story in the show is basically non-existent and serve merely as a vehicle for the other aspects of the anime. You walk in with expectations of seeing the adorable escapades of the little girls but as you get to know the main characters, Yui, Sacchan and Kotoha, you learn that there is a little dark but humorous mischief underneath all that cuteness.

I thought that the art and animation was simple but good and effective. In particular the background for many of the scenes in the show caught my eye. The OST is a level below the art but at the very least if fits the style of the show and gets the job done.

The best part of Mitsuboshi Colors is definitely it's characters. There is the always jolly Sacchan who has the weirdest obsession with Poop. The intelligent but sometimes sinister Kotoha who can always be found playing video games. There is also Yui who surprisingly plays the role of leader to the bunch and at first seems like the only normal one in the group but even her character comes into her own as the series progresses. The side cast of characters are just as entertaining as the main bunch and it's fun to see their interactions on an episode to episode basis as it's almost like they are all in on The Colors' shenanigans.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed Mitsuboshi Colors and I wouldn't mind revisiting this someday and I hope for a second season in the future. I highly recommend it.

Mitsuboshi Colors is about three girls who formed a group called Colors to protect the peace of the town they live in - or so they believe, because they mostly just play the detective, solving cases given to them by other people. The kids interact with a lot of people in the city, and everyone seems to know them, so they help them in their play, with one exception: the true enemy of the Colors, Saitou, a police officer who's always picked on by the girls. The show is really funny and, as expected, really cute; the girls are very expressive and lively. The first halfof the show can be a bit tiresome because it repeats some jokes, but the second half is perfect, the girls look even more lively and playful, and the jokes get better. The animation is actually pretty good for a show like this, with some beautiful moments.

I love watching a show like Mitsubishi Colors to put my mind at ease. In the daily struggle of life, I get too occupied, and all the other anime and series tend to occupy the remaining part of my brain, and I'm constantly hooked. Mitsubishi Colors is a fun and relaxing watch, something I can just put on with some pancakes or on days when I don't feel like watching anything because I'm too tired. The characters are charismatic and cheerful, with a lot of energy and great rhythm between them. Overall, it's a short anime that comes to a perfect end. 👌

What should we do? What should we do? So that we can protect everyone? Hang on a sec! We'll have a discussion. Adults are so busy. We can't rely on them. That's right, let's do something about this town. With Colors Power!- Mitsuboshi Colors That’s the theme of the series! The life of an adult that we forgot when we were kids... Mitsuboshi Colors is the remainder of that time, daily life, with no real goal whatsoever but always busy with something, playing around, searching around, and troubling the adults as their troublemaking protector. Mitsuboshi Colors holdsa soft place in my heart and is a really special anime for me. It’s an episodic show, and to be honest, this thing is perfect how it is. The animation, character design, and their foolishness were their intelligence. Everything was so spot-on.

The city and the people of the city were so well visualized. Every day, Colors learns about new things and gets one step closer to protecting their city. Throughout their assigned mission, they learn and teach us something that we have lost. Like in Halloween, where they made the whole city attracted to come together to make their mission successful. Lots of things happened and are still happening because they will be continued because colors still exist, and that tree is where they put their memories. And after 10 years, those memories will be more vivid than ever, just like our childhood.

3 little girls hanging out doing random dumb town commerce stuff for fun. Cringe Girls Doing Cringe Things. It very occasionally has some fun humor. But there's no character depth or story of any kind so frankly you'd probably get the best out of this by just watching clips of the few best parts because all the rest is unfunny juvenile repetitive filler, such as a poop joke repeated 50 times where the joke is just randomly saying "poop". It pretty much runs out of ideas after the first episode and falls back onto low-effort cliches. The girls are at least written adequately like some kids behave,but there are occasional cringe pedo jokes to sexualize them.

I'd've preferred dub but I found the Japanese voice actors noticeably better than the dub here.

This show is mostly a commercial to consume Japanese culture.

2/10 (where 5/10 is average). This is pretty much exactly the dumb 'kids playing kids games' SoL that Asobi Asobase parodied, watch that 10/10 for actual effort comedy instead of this low-effort slop.

- Ehem - a surprising show to took off winter season of 2018, a light heart comedy base around 3 little girls, Remind us of our childish past, what we're from and now what deep inside us may that never change! - this show isn't about some kid and their mind of living their daily "adventure", this is about what adult wants to be kid again, living their mindless life, the only thing they have to care is going through every day with the fullest of their own desire! do whatever you want with an excuse of being a kid, relive the past you have wasted! - butthe show must have an end, as the child sleep away, the adult wake up from their dream, but this time the reality may not that difficult anymore! you learn from your dream you once have, an empathy for other, forgiveness for yourself, relieve your mind and begin to live every day fully... without any regret!
