Bliss Quest Judging from other reviews, their is definitely something I missed or that pissed me off about this film, and I would have to say it's the latter. The boy was utterly and unnecessarily rude to his mother who tried any and everything to make him happy. All because of an affair she had, which he could not bring himself to forgive. There are obviously some cultural elements in this film I could not bring myself to reconcile i.e suicide. No offense, and I know this is fiction, but It seems Korean and Japanese people are willing to "give up" on life for just about anything!

andrewsro This movie really blew me away. It isn't the typical fantasy or violent anime most of us watch but, it is really powerful. To start i'm going to say that not everybody will rate it a 10/10. The meaning of it will be interpreted in different ways, and depending on how much you can relate to it will impact your rating.The animation is beautiful, with many colors and cool locations to look at. The story can be very dark and unusual but also fun and playful at times. I recommend everyone watch this movie at least once, to get the full meaning out of it. To me I really felt it was trying to teach me to be thankful for what I have, and to value my life even at the worst times.

ebiros2 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.

Crveni Krst By now, I guess we've all accepted Japan as a No.1 driving force in animation. And just when You start thinking that someone with so much recognition would get lazy and spoiled, that's where the Japanese prove you wrong. "Colorful" is yet another fine example of that greatness.I've always wondered how could an animated film, which by western standards is designed for babies, could get so much dept and touch as many crucial life's questions. Well, the reason lies in the fact that Japanese do not make just baby cartoons like Pokemon, but also have a very fine and distinguished selection of animated films which could easily fit a 50 year old person, just like a teenager at the same time."Colorful" is an anime drama which deals with a very painful and yet very present phenomenon in modern society - suicide. Many people feel they reached the end of the road, and more and more of them are getting younger over the years. A young man decided to take his life away, but against all odds, he gets a second chance - to relive a life of another young man who took his own life. During this period of reincarnation, the main character tries to discover his new persona, surrounding, people around him and the reasons why Makoto, the boy in whose body the spirit has reincarnated, has taken his life. Like this, he also started do discover and understand himself. Until the end, he will succeed. Beside the theme of life and death, "Colorful" illustrates several other important issues in the Japanese society - social relations, traumas, family issues and the value of friendship.The story is tough, often dark and grim, yet it has such a profound depth which will keep you watching "Colorful" until the end. And boy is the end unexpected. Watching this brilliant anime made me feel like reading a novel, and that's pretty much the best thing a motion picture can do."Colorful" is a substance dedicated to the Japanese 14-16 youth, but it can easily be understood and liked by an adult. And when you compare this brilliance to the teenage shows in the US, like Hannah Montana or Jackass, you realize the major difference between cultures. In Japan, cartoons can also be educational, while in the US and the west, it's a form of cheap shallow entertainment for kids, who seem to mature later and later.
