The anime follows the lives of four friends who go through the joys and challenges of youth, friendship, and love.
One of the standout aspects of Rainbow Days is its delightful cast of characters. Each protagonist possesses a distinct personality and quirks that make them lovable and relatable. Through their adventures, struggles, and romantic endeavors, it beautifully captures the essence of teenage camaraderie. Their interactions are filled with humor, banter, and genuine moments of unwavering support.
Each of the protagonists experiences their own journey of romance, brimming with misinterpretations, heartfelt admissions, and the intricacies of young love. The series does a commendable job of balancing comedic moments with tender and sincere emotions.
At times, certain storylines…

START------> The thing made me wanna watch it. lol, my taste is so indifferent.
* This anime is not a must watch but if you do watch u will enjoy it until u start getting angry. That one pathetic love-struck guy had me rolling. Love at first sight always makes me laugh. And the one straight forward guy just reminded me of myself. The bluntness was too funny. I really liked this anime, the episodes were too short thou. Just when it getting good, it ends. Like, come on!!!!
Its relatable in some ways.
* The plot got a little drawn out after a while because of all the suspense of who will end up with who. But I liked it. I yawned a couple of times...but whatever. I was gonna give the story a 7 but then when I saw it ended with no real development, nothing really…

Nijiiro Days is a completely ordinary anime. Sure, if ordinary is carrying around a kinky whip … for recreational purposes, or confessing your love to your bros for practice? Packed into 13-minutes bursts, each episode revolves around the lives of eccentric high school students and their completely ordinary buffooneries.
It’s true: the main characters in Nijiiro Days are without a care in the world. Despite having talents in sports and academia, they choose to waste time together to completely goof off. Thankfully, their attitude towards life are largely why the show works. The spontaneity of the main characters adds diversity to the comedic timing within each episode. Its episodic structure feeds a curious audience that wants to find out more about Natsuki and how he manages to get a neg…

This anime just kinda makes you wanna go "ah, youth." I'm really surprised I ended up liking it this much, actually.
So, as far as the art and sound go, I'd say it was pretty average. Honestly, there could've been some really awesome sound design done with this anime that wasn't 100% there, but I really don't get too picky about that sort of stuff, so it doesn't matter.
The story itself was decent. It was a little bit cliche, but I think that it was done well. I like that the story followed four romances (or beginnings of a few romances) without it being segmented. It wasn't like each character got their own set of episodes; it was all connected together like a normal story would be. I do think that the story was maybe a little too eager with the romance aspects because it felt like the…

Nijiiro Days was basically any romance anime you've ever seen, except the episodes literally last 10 minutes - which is kind of annoying to have to constantly switch episodes if you're binging it like I did (at least it's not Sweet Love Patisserie with five minute content), but on the better side, there's 24 episodes, making it last just as long as any other 20 minute series with 12 episodes.
Moving aside from the episode length, we should begin with the story. Like any other synopsis will give, the series begins with high school student Natsuki Hashiba heartbroken from a harsh parting from his ex on Christmas night, along with his love interest Anna Kobayakawa coming to his aid. Soon after, Natsuki discovers she goes to her school and a romance "blossoms". I don't have too much to say a…

Budget issues and the purpose of an anime can hinder it's meaning a lot and can affect the fanbase if an anime series as well. That's what the quite controversial sudden ending of Nijiiro Days brought upon us. I won't spoil it, but to some it was disappointing since it didn't give proper closure but to manga readers like me, it was perfectly fine and understandable, especially since the show was a low budget manga sales booster in the first place.
Youthful and cute, Nijiiro Days is all about exploring and reminding people of how beautiful youth is and what better way to show it than through the eyes of a high school group of friends and throw in some lovely romance in between as well? It's result? A super cute and fun to watch slice of life that just can't stop giving me these sweet momen…

Nijiro Days is as fulfilling as watching someone else eat delicious cake. It's taunting you with something amazing, something that you could have. But ultimately you're let down.
This anime had so many problems. I can't help but get angry because of it. On the surface, it's a quick, fluffy romance anime with male leads instead of female ones. This is a unique twist on the shoujo romance genre, but this twist is wasted on Nijiro Days. This is no better than a boring shoujo with female leads.
My major problem with the series is the characters. They are a lackluster, meaningless cast, and I felt no attachment to any of them, even though I've gone through the hardships of crushes and unrequited love before.
Let's go down the list of couples, analyzing each.
The Main Couple is Bland Anna Ko…

This was one of the greatest shows I have ever watched, it had a great story, and it wasn't that rude, seriously I could go on and on about how great this show is but I must explain why I have wrote this review.
I am quite annoyed that you would end the series like this, I mean are you going to make more or not, because this was just the worst ending ever, I mean sure the main character ends up loving the other main character, but the other main character doesn't know that, and so many people don't end up with the people that they have been crushing on the whole series. It is very annoying and there are so many cliffhangers and loose ends, it gets me really really annoyed, I loved the show so much but I hate that you would leave it on that note, it is so annoying and stupid, now please co…

The story was nothing too complicated and not so much annoying drama, which is great. It's not a slice of life but more to romance and friendship, and I like it especially the bond between the boys. The art is simple and okay. But, I love the soundtrack the most, well I don't expect less from Sonar Pocket, I like their song as always :)
Characters are great, they've got simple personalities with not too much complicated going on within themselves. I like how they are honest with others and themselves. Just for that one character, if this anime/manga doesn't have that annoying-disturbing girl (why author loves to put this kind of personality?), I would give 8/9 for character wise.
I like this anime a lot, because it's easy to watch, and relaxing to get a rest from many intense-themed anim…

Nijiiro days is a high-school, slice-of-life anime, complete with the usual comedic and shoujo elements. It's an adaptation of the ongoing manga with the same name. Episodes are about 12 minutes long, meaning that the 24 episodes basically comprise a single kur.
The story initially focuses on the four boy gang, but as time progresses (thankfully for the boys) an equal number of girls are added to the mix, creating the familiar “mina-oriented” storyline. As a result, the focus is not on a single protagonist, but to the whole group of friends. The characters are distinct and their development visible, although some platitudes exist on their characterization.
Expanding on that, the show has a formulaic feeling to it; If I had a list with all the genre's trites, I would be able to cross eac…

The story revolved around a group of four students; the hopeless romantic guy Natsuki Hashiba (Natcchan), Tomoya Matsunaga (Mattsun) who is the playboy type, the cheerful and sadistic guy, Keiichi Katakura (Kei-chan) and Tsuyoshi Naoe (Tsuyopon), the one with the least words and also the smartest in the group. This anime begins with the encounter of Natcchan with a girl named Anna Kobayakawa on Christmas eve. He fell in love at first sight and since then he tried to get closer to her. Together with the main plot, it also tells the love story of the other three and how they support each other as a group of friends. Many had said, at first glance, people may think that this is a yaoi anime, but actually a comedy, slice of life and not to forget a normal romance.

Prewarning: If you want something intellectually challenging, or awe-inspiring, this isn't for you. If you don't mind stereotypical plots, a bit of laughter, and are looking for something simple to watch and not think too much about: Sure, go watch this, knock yourself out and have some fun fawning over cute characters.
I really enjoyed this show at the start, and had it ended after one cour I'd probably have given it an 8. To begin with the characters are fun and there was no major drama. Sure it played on typical relationships and character types, but in a light-hearted and happy-go-lucky manner. What was also great was how the story looked into the side characters almost as much as the main... The art is cute, sound is appropriate but nothing inspiring, characters are fun and fairly si…

Nijiiro Days is anime based on shoujo manga
First impression: At first, I thought this anime is homo (in MAL cover guy of all) the duration is only 13 minutes away. plus I do not like shoujo.
But because of the holidays, I'm in short of anime, so I tried it watching this anime (as I see in genre there have romance , I like anime romance, and the graphics do not disappoint) and then, in 5 episode,, the anime is not in line with my first impression: D
After watch: Anime is not a fag in my opinion. for each of the main characters has their respective spouses (female of course). moreover the point of view often to men (so similarto shounen even though the source is an anime shoujo) so even though I do not really like to watch shoujo, interest on watching it.
The story is also not boring (ever…

Nijiiro Days is like a cone of overly frozen vanilla ice cream. It's sweet. You enjoy it. But at some point, you get tired because it takes too long to consume.
The plot starts out with Natsuki (the male MC) falling in love with Anna at first sight. He has his set of wingmen friends who encourage him to go for it and pull out as many stops as possible to get them together. It ends with the girl acknowledging that she likes him too. The end. It's as vanilla as you get.
The MC's friends are an interesting bunch with their own quirks and personalities. Some experience character development. Others remain static and didn't need much development to begin with.
The first half of the show is an overall fun ride with a mix of laughs and some character development. By the third quarter, the char…

What Norn9: Norn+Nonet couldn't do, Nijiro Days did better with LESS screentime, ohh well ok nearly the same screentime but whatever.
Nijiro Days being an anime short consisting of 24 episodes with only 10 minutes is about the 4 differing relationships of the four main boys of the anime short. As such LA is very thankful that this anime short has this kind of screentime let alone episode count as it would have been rushed to all hell, nonetheless due to this the majority of the relationships go in depth to.
Though LA says this, the majority of the focus goes to Natsuki "Na-chan" Hashiba voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Anna Kobayakawa voiced by Minami Tsuda's relationship from friends to a couple. The other closest relationship with this kind of focus goes to the incredibly shaky relati…

If your looking for a romance anime that has a deep maturing plot this anime isn't it. However, that is not to say that it isn't enjoyable. Its a very fun quirky anime. Imo theres a lot of romance anime that are cringeworthy I'm not gonna lie, the over hype romanticization of the meaning of love is just blehh. This anime was the first that made me not think that way, and I think thats a good thing. If your looking for a comedy/romance anime just to pass the time I suggest to watch it cause why not.
The characters are not your typical romance characters, if you know what I mean. Their kinda weird which I like. The anime doesn't revolve around just on two characters for their love story, it revolves around everyone. Which brings out funny and cute moments so I think its a good thing.

Shoujo romance. The penultimate genre of romance where everything is sappy and the journey to love is a slow, arduous, and sometimes painful one. So, what better way to give us everything that Shoujo romance has to offer in one series? That my friends, is Niijiro days.
Story: Our story begins on Christmas Eve with Nat-chan, who is sitting under the town's giant christmas tree in disappointment. After breaking up with his girlfriend due to her being a gold digger (This was never a part of the anime, but it's the context that gave way to the rest of the series), Nat-chan is given a tissue by a passerby Santa girl with whom he falls smitten to. This girl's name is Kobayakawa Anna, a girl of the same grade in the same school as Nat-chan, thus starting another season of romance.

This is one of those series that finish so fast once you start watching, because it is just so relaxing and nothing too serious happens, which also makes it so relatable and reminiscent of our high school days (well, for those that have graduated at least!) or how it could be. If you are looking for an easy-going series filled with the power of youth, this is a good example.
Story-wise, there is nothing specific as it is their everyday life, but the overall feel is focused on the romance part; 4 friends who tease each other and their romantic interests. We see everyone’s view (not just the main quartet) and how they interact and the silly problems they have that seem huge at the time and the silly adventures they take part in and various small parts of their personality. Is it that great?…

At first glance, one would think that this is a yaoi anime, but even without the "shounen-ai" tag, it's not. It's one of those rare romance anime where the main characters are the same gender, but the romance is heterosexual. When I first saw this anime, I thought probably the same thing as anyone else who was unfamiliar with this anime before it aired, "This is going to be another borderline-yaoi anime, is it?" Then, I read the description, and my curiosity was piqued. For that reason, I ended up watching it when it premiered, and I must say that it was a fun anime to watch.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is my review of "Nijiiro Days".
