You might think this anime is about a gang of three elementary school girls doing funny things and getting into trouble, but that's just what's on the surface. It's actually about a Tokyo police officer stationed in Ueno Park, where these three girls have built a hideout, and they are his biggest problem. Did you think through what that means? He has to protect the biggest city in the world, so he is a very busy man with lots of responsibilities with many things to do. And his biggest problem is three bored tiny schoolgirls?
Well, yeah. This is Tokyo. It's the safest city on Earth. There are no bad neighborhoods. Children are free to run about unattended just about everywhere. The fact that that's true, and from a child's perspective the police appear to do nothing at all but stand around…

I Don't Like These Brats °poor° 💯%🔍 some minor spoilers
MC is as if Pippi Longstocking, Harriet The Spy, and Cindi Lou Whoo form a Japanese girl gang and adopt a cat that looks like a panda. They name him Colonel. Sounds adorable, right? Despite some bright spots, it mostly is not adorable, or even palatable. These girls are brats; they're horribly rude and no one corrects them. Despite what one woman says, their behavior is NOT cute, nor is it entertaining, and they are too edgy and obnoxious to be considered precociously endearing. It's likely by design that these girls are referred to as the "colors". It makes them sound like a gang, and that's just the way they behave. Furthermore, the show is on a childish level, but it's not appropriate for children.
MC follows a group of 3 8-ye…

3 little girls hanging out doing random dumb town commerce stuff for fun. Cringe Girls Doing Cringe Things.
It very occasionally has some fun humor. But there's no character depth or story of any kind so frankly you'd probably get the best out of this by just watching clips of the few best parts because all the rest is unfunny juvenile repetitive filler, such as a poop joke repeated 50 times where the joke is just randomly saying "poop". It pretty much runs out of ideas after the first episode and falls back onto low-effort cliches.
The girls are at least written adequately like some kids behave, but there are occasional cringe pedo jokes to sexualize them.
I'd've preferred dub but I found the Japanese voice actors noticeably better than the dub here.
This show is mostly a commercial t…

Mitsuboshi Colors is a little heartwarming anime that centers around the daily antics of the self-styled "Colors"; a group of elementary-aged schoolgirls who defend the city of Ueno from one and all evils who may rear their ugly head from around the horizon! (Well, not really, if you carefully think about it. But that would be a topic for another occasion if anything, lol.)
One of the first things that came to my mind once starting this series is just how seemingly similar it appeared to be to the many children's cartoons from around the 90s and 2000s (think Arthur, and alike properties from that time, for example,) I grew up with during the first decade of the third millennium or so, both on its themes and characters.
We follow a cast of three first or second grade school children (as m…

I love watching a show like Mitsubishi Colors to put my mind at ease. In the daily struggle of life, I get too occupied, and all the other anime and series tend to occupy the remaining part of my brain, and I'm constantly hooked. Mitsubishi Colors is a fun and relaxing watch, something I can just put on with some pancakes or on days when I don't feel like watching anything because I'm too tired. The characters are charismatic and cheerful, with a lot of energy and great rhythm between them. Overall, it's a short anime that comes to a perfect end. 👌

This one is tricky. Mitsuboshi Colors is a great series - if you watch it with the right mindset.
On the surface it may look like other slice of life - comedy animes as Non Non Biyori or Ichigo Mashimaro (specially with the resemblance between Saki from Colors and Miu from Ichigo): three young girls fooling around, trying to have fun while their enjoy their ordinary everyday lives. The difference here is that the more healing / slice of life aspect of the series, in the sense that you connect with the characters, get to like them, start caring for them and just feel happy having them around, just doesn't work here. Why? Well, let's talk about Color's characters for a minute.
You have Kotoha, who is basically a sociopath addicted to videogames that seems to enjoy violence and the idea to…

Mitsuboshi Colors is about three girls who formed a group called Colors to protect the peace of the town they live in - or so they believe, because they mostly just play the detective, solving cases given to them by other people. The kids interact with a lot of people in the city, and everyone seems to know them, so they help them in their play, with one exception: the true enemy of the Colors, Saitou, a police officer who's always picked on by the girls.
The show is really funny and, as expected, really cute; the girls are very expressive and lively. The first half of the show can be a bit tiresome because it repeats some jokes, but the second half is perfect, the girls look even more lively and playful, and the jokes get better. The animation is actually pretty good for a show like this…

What should we do? What should we do?
So that we can protect everyone?
Hang on a sec! We'll have a discussion.
Adults are so busy.
We can't rely on them.
That's right, let's do something about this town.
With Colors Power!- Mitsuboshi Colors
That’s the theme of the series! The life of an adult that we forgot when we were kids... Mitsuboshi Colors is the remainder of that time, daily life, with no real goal whatsoever but always busy with something, playing around, searching around, and troubling the adults as their troublemaking protector.
Mitsuboshi Colors holds a soft place in my heart and is a really special anime for me. It’s an episodic show, and to be honest, this thing is perfect how it is. The animation, character design, and their foolishness were their intelligence. Eve…

Mitsuboshi Colors is a wonderfully silly and wholesome anime that perfectly captures the feeling of being a kid and just doin random shit and making your own fun out of the mundane
The anime focuses on the main cast, the Colors who do their best to save their town from peril! They usually do this by helping with mundane tasks for others or making up silly situations to protect the city from! This premise alone I find a lot of charm in and the situations these girls make up are extremely silly and childish and that's what is so wonderful about Mitsuboshi Colors.
The group of Colors has a really fun dynamic and consists of Yui, Kotoha, and Saki! Yui acts as the leader of the group while ironically being very clumsy and a crybaby. Kotoha, who is constantly seen playing on her 3DS, is more bl…

Mitsuboshi Colors is about a group of three elementary school girls; Yui, Sacchan and Kotoha. They made a pact to protect and keep the peace of their town, more specifically Ueno park and its surroundings. And so they run amok causing all sorts of adventures upon themselves; from fighting trees and flowers so they stop causing people to sneeze to handing tissues near the subway entrance and selling strawberries to strangers in the park. To them, everything can become a call to adventure and a chance to explore their environment.
One of the people particularly interested in making their day interesting is Daigorou. He owns some sort of second-hand goods store and loves to come up with all sorts of mysteries to keep the trio occupied. One much less enthusiastic about the girls is the police…

This is one of those animes that heals your heart and soul after watching other genre animes. Each episode had a heartwarming feeling and was truly satisfying. I loved how each character had a different color as well as a different personality. 3 energetic kids just enjoying their childhood.The OP was also catchy. Huge round of applause to the VA's as they perfectly fitted the characters. It's sad to see this anime to end but I do hope for a season 2 for this anime as it continues to pick up from the manga. ( according to MAL manga is still ongoing ) *If anyone has recommendations for animes that are like Mitsuboshi Colors please lmk*

This is an entry in the "cute girls doing cute things" category, but deviates from that category in several ways that make it special. First, they're really little girls, not yet in school I think. Second, they have a really neat fantasy that the share: They're protectors of the town, specifically of Ueno Park and environs. Put these two factors together and you get the rare "kids say the darnedist things" result.
It's a great result. At first I though this would just be a CGDCT standard, but pretty soon instead of just lying back and watching the cuteness, after a couple of episodes I was grinning like a fool. The girls are lovable and the most fun thing about them is, they are serious about their duty as protectors of the town, and they have no clue how funny that often makes them talk…

Vast majority of anime has children as main characters. There are also a lot of titles that try to make them cute. But kids that actually behave like real kids are a rare sight, which makes Mitsuboshi Colors pretty unique.
Even as a person with no patience to kids I couldn’t resist charm of those girls. To my surprise even moments with more bratty and irresponsible behaviour didn’t bother me. Whether it’s because of realism that reminded me of my own childhood, relaxing music or just cute smiling girls, this anime made me appreciate kids being kids, with all the noise and naivety coming with it.
Mitsuboshi Colors doesn’t go too far with “moefying” characters. Their designs are cute, but actual sugar overdose comes from their actions, which also aren’t forcefully cute and feel very natural.…

This anime seems normal at the outer but good in the inner. I love the first and the last episode most as I find them funnier than any other episodes.
It is about 3 girls who are so free after school slacking in their base(totally remind me of Anohana base) or town to play games, solve cases (games or small problems that might not even exist), bully police and so called protect their town.
It is quite funny (cause of the stupid things they did [while there is still a 'most of the time' innocent girl]with them). I never feel boring along the way unlike some of the other SOL anime that have slower pace.
If you are feeling stress, feel watching relaxing anime guess this is the anime for you looking at 3 kids doing stupid things and some adults who play along :)

This is such an adorable anime. I'll let you know from the start this anime is about 3 lolis playing around their town every episode. That's basically the whole idea of it. So if you hate kids or don't like lolis then you're definitely not going to enjoy this at all.
Story
There isn't much of a story. Colors are the protectors of this panda-themed town. As a panda fan myself, Colors are indeed doing a great job. So we have Yui, Kotoha, and Sat-chan. The three of them are the colors who solve cases in order to save the town. It's a slice of life style with tons of comedy and poop-jokes.
Art
Not anything special, honestly. It looks good, of course, but not overly detailed or impressive. I personally prefer it this way because it makes it somehow more suitable for a child-themed anime. Don'…

After watching the whole series it left a lasting impression on me that I have experienced something special, nostalgic in a way, that made me relive some of my childhood memories once again.
I followed the adventures of the hyper energetic Sat-chan, the well-behaved leader Yui and the sadistic console-gamer Kotoha, on all 12 episodes. Solving random cases to save their town or Pops(store manager) or just randomly fighting Saito (policeman). All these events are just heartwarming and not so over the top moe.
One of my favorite part of this anime is the opening song that sets the mood of the show. There is no big plot on this anime but it excite the kid inside of every audience.
Overall this is a wholesome show that everyone can enjoy. They really had a great time. And so did I.

Story: 7/10
Three girls created an organisation called "Colors" to fight crime and protect the peace of their town. It's a kid's dream and everyone at one point has wanted to become a hero. Every day, you get to experience the daily life of three girls. It's nostalgic and you get to reminisce your childhood.

Character: 8/10
The characters are so fun, the mischievous kids, Saito, the dad, etc. Every character is so unique and fun to watch.
Enjoyment/Overall: 7/10
It does get a bit boring and less interesting every episode. It's cute and fun t…

Reading the synopsis and looking at the poster for Mitsuboshi Colors, I thought it was going to be an uninteresting CGDCT anime that I would check out the first episode for and then never watch it again afterwards. I ended up getting something completely different from my expectations in that I found the comedy to be very good, often hilarious at time and that the cast of characters were very entertaining. Flash forward all the way to the last episode and I'm a bit sad that this fantastic show has come to an end.
Now if I were to summarize some of my thoughts on Mitsuboshi Colors, firstly, the story in the show is basically non-existent and serve merely as a vehicle for the other aspects of the anime. You walk in with expectations of seeing the adorable escapades of the little girls but as…

"A fun anime lacking in budget"
Pros:
1. Fun characters
2. Relaxing to watch
Cons:
1. Lacks animation budget
2. Cliche characters, may not be likable to some people
Tbh, Mitsuboshi Colors is my most anticipated series of Winter 2018. I love this kind of series that showcases the more realistic sides of kids, such as Ichigo Marshmallow and Non non biyori. Most modern anime nowadays tend to moe-fied them too much, not that I dislike it though.I enjoy watching Mitsuboshi Colors, but it still did disappoint me in some aspect.
Firstly, Mitsuboshi Colors lacks the animation budget. I can forgive that if this is animated by some new studios out there, but Silver Link isn't that kind of studio that lacks budget or human resources. I mean, they did do a good job at animating Non non biyori, b…
