Anime Review: Colorful

My sister told me it was a great reminder of what a fragile world we live in,
Based on the anime Colorful.

Before I watch this anime,
I read about the reviews on the net.

It is a depressing anime with NEETs and hikikomori and suicides.

Sure,
A GOOD anime for people like me.
But I'm not one to talk,
For my obsession with Hannibal series, thrillers, ghost movies and American Horror Story.

After watching the anime,
I loved PuraPura because he is the oxymoron of an angel;
He guides the lost soul,
But without the obnoxious usual cliche of cat ears, halos, being a girl and all that craps.
And he does so too,
Guiding the main protagonist.
Sometimes with gentle kindness and wise words,
Sometimes outright sarcasm and meanness.

There's this part where I wanted to laugh and/or bang my head on the screen,
The last part when Makoto finally eats and his Mum gets all teary,
And all I can muster was;
"Good gracious woman! 
He is just eating,
You're really crying over this?"

I guess I'm not much of an emotional maternity material.

When Makoto was being rude to his mother,
I wanted to slap him senseless.
His mother made a mistake,
His crush made a mistake,
Even he himself made a mistake.

We're humans,
We make mistakes.

And it's okay.


You just have to have some common sense to realize your mistakes,
And a little bit courage to amend it.
