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. In short: 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 an odd, deranged, racy and hilarious dose of animated Viagra!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Hirokawa (Nobutoshi Kanna) and Itani (Yasuhiko Kawazu) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 16 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Triangle Staff, which means the visual identity of Colorful follows that studio's craft. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 5.1/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Nobutoshi Kanna voicing Hirokawa gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 1999, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
