Colorful English Sub & Dub

About Colorful

Meet Colorful, a comedy, ecchi and slice of life anime by Triangle Staff (1999). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Two horny college slackers and a beautiful professor. A frustrated TV reporter.

Soon after, a sexy track star and her tempted coach. A high school girlzilla that’s the size of the Empire State building. From hotties on subways and perverted cabbies, to panty-obsessed video geeks, sexy mall babes, and the furry phenomenon, Colorful is a strange, deranged, racy and hilarious dose of animated Viagra!

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Nobutoshi Kanna as Hirokawa and Yasuhiko Kawazu as Itani. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 16 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
