This isn't your typical high school romance, but if you are here just for these, you will get what you want and a lot more.
At first, I thought it was just a typical romance, and the writer completely forgot about the time travel aspect. But then the second half hits, and you are more and more engaged with each episode until the culmination and amazing cinematography of the last three episodes.
Not to say the drama aspect isn't done well, in fact, it's done very, very well in my opinion. Keeping you in suspense half of the time, making you love each of the characters with every episode, the other half, while also throwing in fun and probably very relatable moments. It makes for a perfect mix of tension, excitement and fun.

Color not only makes the world more beautiful but also expresses one’s innermost emotions. As Henri Matisse stated- “Color helps to express light—not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists”, from which he clearly refers color as the mechanism through which abstract internal processes and emotions are realized.
Such can also be said for a series named Iroduku: The World in Colors (いろずく せかい の あした から Or Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara) (2018). This series showed the story of Tsukishiro Hitomi, a young mage who lost her sense of colors despite being ingrained with kaleidoscopic magic. On a night as monochrome as usual, amidst the fireworks spreading across the sky, her grandmother Tsukishiro Kohaku sent her sixty years back in time in order to find her true purpose.

I can see people feeling like this is a slow pace anime because of the build up and set up. I think the pacing is well done with the way the plot is set up. It's not a story that's out of this world, we have magic yes, but it's mainly there to help the anime move along. It's more like to help the plot more then being super focused on. The magic is important to the plot more then being the focused such as other anime that uses magic as a power.
The story itself isn't the most complex, but I do appreciate the usage of time travel in here. If you get to the end, you will understand. It's not the typical love story we're so used too now.
One of the most beautiful artwork and it really inspired me to want to draw again after watching this. I wasn't sure when I watched this if I'll like it o…

This is probably the most beautiful anime I've ever seen. Somehow it manages to capture the incredible beauty that can be present in things that have to come to an end, without wallowing in tragedy like so many similar stories end up doing. Although it has a similar feel to AnoHana or Byousaku 5 Centimeter, in many ways it's actually telling the opposite story, a story perhaps more similar in nature to Hyouka.
Overall I would say that this anime has three dominant themes: impermanence, relationships, and emotions. It interacts with these three themes with three primary symbols: art, magic, and color. Cleverly, the symbols don't tie to just a single theme, but rather are connected to multiple themes.
For example, the theme of impermanence is explored through the existence of time magic, b…

“I am sure we met to put color back in each other’s future.” - Yuito Aoi
🥇 9/10
Have you ever met someone and that person has changed your life forever? If yes, what would your life be, if you did not meet that person? Pretty amazing, isn’t it? This anime will take you to not anywhere far but in 2018, our modern world but with magic. Of course, not huge explosive magic or powerful energy beams, just small magics but they spice everything up making this show more unique.
🎬 Story - 7/10
I considered the story to be quite an ordinary school life story, but with the concept of magic, which did spice up the story to be more interesting. I did hope the show to contain more episodes, more storytelling would work very well in this show, but it has already reached my standard of what an anime s…

Spoilers ahead. I wanted to watch something wholesome since I recently got back into anime. I had this as a recommendation but was left with a complete disappointment.
Let's start with the story. The story is non-existent. It's essentially about some teenagers in a club doing club things. Oh right, there is a mention of time-travel at the start but nothing really happens with the time-travelling aspect.
I mean, you can't really introduce your show by sending the main character back in time and then do nothing of it. What was the point exactly?
I won't call the story as story but rather as a concept or an idea, because that's what it is essentially. The idea is that a girl who is traumatized by her past gets sent back in time to find herself. For some unknown reason, the best way to fi…

Have you ever tasted something sweet tinged with sadness?
Iroduku serve this bittersweetness with a soft and gentle texture. The story focuses on portraying feelings and emotions, rather than words and action. As such, it has a slow pace, gently taking the characters development step by step forward, introducing role of each character that bring changes to Hitomi. It creates a melancholic atmosphere around them, changing how the romance and drama works with the drape of normal yet colourful interaction.Their interaction is perceived as something fragile, something precious and handled with so much care. Yet, there's just this feeling that it won't last.
A sweet taste is given, when they cheer for each other, stood by each other's side when either one is feeling down and, they bonded. It…

story 3/10:
Boy if you've seen one romcom anime you've seen em all fireworks at the end tearful goodbyes this show does nothing to differentiate itself from others its tedious in its build-up and lackluster in its delivery.

the only reason to watch this show, in my opinion, is its excellent and consistently good glowy shiny art its got some truly enchanting and beautiful scenery that we've come to expect from p.a works
sound: 3.5/10

This is the first review I've ever given. I was compelled to, after seeing the low rating and some of the reviews.
I've watched a lot of anime, and I was personally offended by the low rating and the negative reviews. I'm taking it upon myself to strongly recommend the anime to those on the fence, it's definitely worth watching.
This show is best enjoyed when binged. This is partly what I blame for the low ratings. The development and impact of the anime is lost in the weekly format.
This is a feelzy atmospheric anime, it makes you feel good inside. I personally enjoyed the subtle romance aspect of it the most. The anime gets very generic at some parts (mostly in the middle few episodes). But it's worth it to stick with it till the end. Try not to pick the plot apart, it's not about the…

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara (Irozuku) is a beautiful Anime about a seventeen year old witch being sent back in time. The story is easy to follow with lovable characters and a nice soundtrack.
Story 8/10: Irozuku is a time travelling story, it is easy to follow and easy to understand. Even though there is time travelling aspects, the sequence of events are linear from the viewpoint of the main character. The pacing for Irozuku can be a bit slow at times, with it speeding up at the climax stage. There is a lot of hidden messages hidden within the Anime that foreshadow events, but also help you to understand the characters’ personality. Along with the hidden messages, there are lot of metaphors. Please note that at the beginning will seem confusing, but everything will be explained later wi…

Iroduku is the epitome of all drama and slice of life anime. From the gorgeous art, pleasing soundtracks, and lovable characters, almost everything is perfect. It's a very touching anime with the intention of leaving a good impression with its viewers, teaching them a life lesson that'll change the way they perceive this world.
And they successfully pulled it off.
~[Story]~
This is the weakest part of this anime. It's still good. I love how the annoying love triangles didn't last long (they handled it really well), fights got resolved quickly (thank God they communicate!), and the long awaited confession scene was greatly executed. In my opinion, it's one of the best confession scenes out there. Who would've thought a piece of paper with a little bit of magic will result to one of th…

I just have 3 words to say: SASUGA P.A. WORKS! Irozuku had all the Nagi no Asukara vibes yet it had it's own originality to set it apart from Nagi no Asukara. I absolutely loved watching Irozuku no Ashita Kara. From the story, to the characters, animation and music, they were all 10/10!!!
Story: It all started when Grandma Kohaku decided to send Hitomi back 60 years to the past. That's when all the feels and romance started. It was as if fate had intervened. Hitomi ended up in Yuito's room and met Yuito when he was drawing. That was when she realized she could see the colors in his drawing. At first Yuito was surprised, but as the two of them bonded together in the same club, romance started to fill the air as both fell in love with each other. They both went out with each other, chased e…

Every season theres tons of new shows airing, and among those many shows theres always one underrated show which doesn't get the attention it deserves and in my opinion Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara was that.
Story:8
Its an emotional bittersweet anime and the story is a bit slow paced because our male lead (yuito) is terribly dense. The story was good but it had a lot of room for improvement, it had a lot of potential and could have been better in my opinion. to sum it up Its about a girl (Hitomi) who is sent back 60 years into the past by her grandmother (Kohaku), and during her time there she finally makes friends, falls in love and regains her ability to see colors as more lovable characters are introduced. I dont wanna spoil more than this because it would be better to watch and enjoy…

Alright P.A. Works, what've you got up your sleeve this time? Let's see...can't see colors; she's colorblind, that's kinda interesting. Magic, sent back in time...ok, a time traveling series. Could pose some problems, but I'm sure it won't bite them in the ass. Hopefully. Shinohara Toshiya as the series director. Why does that name sound familiar? Director of...NagiAsu? Oh goddamnit.
Story:
In a version of Japan where magic is prominent, Tsukishiro Hitomi watches from afar at fireworks that she used to watch with her mother, only to see black and white. All color is lost in her vision, and the world she lives in exists in an ashen gray. Her grandmother, Kohaku, comes up to her and really without word or warning, sends her granddaughter back in time to the time when she was a st…

A underrated hidden gem of the fall season.This show actually depicts the literal and true meaning of colors in life. Another good thing it's an original series which makes it quite more interesting..
The start of the series begins in a world sixty years from now, people where people have incorporated using various magic to ease up their life.
But our female protagonist Hitomi who comes from a family of magicians hates magic. The very irony.
Also she has another dilemma color blindness. The cause? Quite a mystery. She's doesn't feel much joy from life. Leads quite a monotonous life.
Her grandmother, Kohaku, knowing what hitomi is going through, decides to send her sixty years back to meet her younger self, in hopes of helping Hitomi to overcome the situation.
And now the Story begins w…

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara is beautiful in each and every aspect. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it and decided to watch it as it left me with a huge impact despite its simpleness
This anime might not be everyone’s cup of tea. A lot of ppl may have found Hitomi (MC) annoying or boring and what not, but for me, I could genuinely relate to her.
While watching her I could see a glimpse of myself back in school days...Does the feeling of loneliness, closing off yourself completely from others, not being able to talk even if you want to and people simply brushing you off as a shy or weird person rings bell, eh?
If it does then do give it a watch. You won’t regret it.
Having people who can truly understand you and accept you for who you are is truly a blessing because it helps not just you but…

I feel that it’s safe to say that all stories in some essence are contrived. I mean these are works of fiction, fake stories concocted by a writer/s imagination. From characters, settings, plot conventions, conveniences, and anything else under the sun, the writer has full control to manipulate them however they wish. Of course this is only looking at a work in a very reductionist point of view. Because even if they are contrived, most don’t give off the air or feel of being one. Due to the fact of the creators embellishing their stories that makes their characters more compelling, the settings having a sense of place, and for the plot to come off as more “naturel”. Why is all this important? Well because Irozuku seems to be in conflict with two different elements, with one being the tale…

To this day, Kimi ni Todoke remains one of my favorite rom-coms of all time, close to my heart in a way that few other series manage to touch. If I were to designate one reason above all else why it was able to sweep me away so completely, it’s that it takes place in a world that is fundamentally good. Everyone in Kimi ni Todoke is the best person they can possibly be, always ready to reach out a helping hand to guide each other through their troubles. The show’s world feels like a world that actively wants its characters to succeed, and the result is probably the single most comforting atmosphere in all of anime, a universe that I love diving into and snuggling under like a warm fluffy blanket on a winter’s day. It would be so easy for a show with this much heart on its sleeve to come off…

Watching Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara (Iroduku) is like a taking a journey into a storybook adventure. But in that adventure, there’s magic, creativity, and feelings that’s hard to be put into words alone. Produced by P.A. Works, I had high expectations for Iroduku considering their recent lineup. Being a powerhouse studio, P.A. Works has always captivated me with their wealth of ideas. From school life dramas to a dark thriller about vampires, this studio continues to establish themselves with their creativity.
To my delight, Iroduku turned out to be yet another show that made me realize how an original anime should be done. Believe me, this seemed like a hit or miss in the beginning that looked like an average modern teen soap opera. However, I would say not to judge too fast as the pre…
