Hello everyone! Today, I would like to introduce the original theatrical anime "Kimi no Iro," scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023. This is the latest work by director Naoko Yamada, and it's a must-see for anime fans.
Overview
"Kimi no Iro" is a coming-of-age drama that depicts the independence, conflicts, and love patterns of adolescent girls. The protagonist, Totsuko, has a special ability to see people's emotions as "colors." She uses this ability to read the emotions of her friends and family and build relationships with those around her.
Synopsis
High school student Totsuko can see people as "colors." Happy colors, fun colors, calm colors, and her favorite color. One day, she meets a girl named Kimi, who emits a beautiful color, and a music-loving boy named Rui at an old bookstore. Kimi, who can't tell her family that she dropped out of school, and Rui, who secretly engages in music activities against his mother's expectations for his future. And Totsuko, who can't see her own color. Each of them has worries they can't tell anyone.
The band's practice place is an old church on a remote island. As the three of them connect through music, a friendship and a faint feeling of love begin to grow. The school festival and their first live performance are approaching. What "colors" will the three of them show in front of the audience?

The charm of this work also lies in its luxurious staff and cast. Directed by Naoko Yamada, known for "K-On! The Movie" and "A Silent Voice." The script is written by Reiko Yoshida, and the music is composed by Kensuke Ushio. Character design is by Takashi Kojima, and the original character design is by Daisuke Richard.
