Colorful Rezensionen & Wertungen

Michael Billings12. Oktober 2025
"Colorful" (1999) is an ecchi anime that has left me feeling offended and disappointed. As someone who enjoys ecchi content, I had hoped for a coherent story, well-developed characters, and decent animation. Unfortunately, "Colorful" (1999) falls short in all of these areas. The content of the show is very low brow and absolute hot garbage fire. It dives into the basic imagination and exaggeration of a deviant pervert's mind to the point where it's grotesquely overindulging and meant to be disgusting. There is literally no plot, no story, no substance - just a bunch of perverted scenes and shorts. Visually, "Colorful" (1999) is a catastrophe. The art style resembles crude sketches from a toddler's doodle book or simplistic line art akin to sketches in a beginner's notebook. The lack of detail and finesse is glaring, to the point of feeling insulting; one might believe they could draw better themselves and probably can, even as a novice. The color palette is frustratingly limited, rarely extending beyond eight solid colors per frame. There are moments where the animation appears rudimentary, almost as if captured through rotoscoping techniques. The only time the show seems to put any effort into the art is during the obvious story beats of slight angles of panties, bras, and cleavage - if that. Overall, these visual shortcomings contribute to a lackluster presentation. While I acknowledge the existence of a market for this type of content, "Colorful" (1999) appears better suited for the realm of light hentai rather than ecchi. Unlike typical ecchi anime, which typically feature a coherent story, well-developed characters, and decent animation, "Colorful" (1999) seems to cater to the base desires of the most depraved male perverts and or the lowest common denominator of male fantasy, with no regard for artistic integrity or narrative depth, with little regard for anime culture or the mindset of an otaku and ecchi fan. Personally speaking, otaku who like ecchi look forward to seeing good quality models and fanfare - yes, panty shots, bra shots, and cleavage, and other ecchi-related scenes. Most otaku are just fans of a particular style or genre and the female form or, in general, a geek or nerd who has memorabilia all over the place and helps in developing a good representation of anime, otaku, and anything else that they are a fan of. This show is far from that concept. The concept behind "Colorful" (1999) seems to have originated from a juvenile and perverted mindset, catering to the most basic and exaggerated fantasies of male perverts. While it's normal for adolescents to have fleeting thoughts or experiences related to the content depicted in the show, such as catching a glimpse of an upskirt shot on a bus, it's not representative of the broader spectrum of male interests or the growth process beyond adolescence. For example, just for an example, riding on the bus and seeing a perfect upskirt panty shot or more and absolutely staring until the bus rides over is perfectly normal part of healthy sexuality for a young boy. The show's focus on upskirt shots and panty glimpses is reminiscent of the thought process of a 14-year-old pervert, which is not reflective of the mature and nuanced interests of discerning anime fans. Yes, many adolescent males may have engaged in similar behaviors at some point in their lives, which is a healthy part of sexuality, but it's not the defining aspect of male sexuality or the end-all-be-all of their interests. Most adolescents grow out of this mindset within a few years, and outside of porn-addicted individuals, this show has no purpose. It's a far cry from the complex and engaging storylines, compelling characters, and decent animation found in typical ecchi anime. "Colorful" (1999) misses the mark in terms of representing otaku and ecchi culture and fails to appeal to discerning anime fans. For those who are not in the know, let's clarify a few things for the terms Ecchi Anime and Otaku Culture. Ecchi Anime: Ecchi anime is a genre characterized by its playful and sometimes risqué depiction of romantic and sexual themes. Unlike hentai, which features explicit sexual content, ecchi anime typically employs suggestive imagery, humor, and innuendo to titillate audiences while maintaining a degree of innocence. When done well, ecchi anime can strike a delicate balance between fan service and storytelling, appealing to fans who appreciate its lighthearted approach to romance and comedy. Otaku Culture: The term "otaku" refers to individuals who are passionate enthusiasts of anime, manga, and related subcultures. Otaku often exhibit a deep appreciation for the intricacies of storytelling, character development, and artistic expression found in anime. While the term was once associated with social stigma, it has since been embraced by many as a badge of honor, symbolizing dedication and enthusiasm for anime and manga. In summary, "Colorful" (1999) is an utter disappointment, particularly considering its origins from Studio Gainax, known for its groundbreaking works. If there were a rating lower than 0.5 for sheer disappointment, this show would undoubtedly qualify. As a seasoned reviewer, I've endured my fair share of hot garbage, but "Colorful" takes the cake. Unlike other dismal shows I've reviewed, I couldn't muster the motivation to finish this one. In fact, I found it so offensive and devoid of merit that I began writing this scathing review midway through the first episode. It's a slap in the face to any self-respecting otaku or ecchi enthusiast. This abomination belongs in the trash heap of anime history, and I'm baffled by any positive ratings it receives. It's an insult to the medium and an affront to true anime fans everywhere.
