Mitsuboshi Colors

I was not quite sure about this show at first; however, now I can confidently say that this anime series beautifully represents a happy childhood and shows what is so beautiful about being a child. For someone who grew up in a time before smartphones, computers, and other conveniences that eat up our time today, this is an incredibly enjoyable, endearing, and nostalgic affair. It is nostalgic because when I was a kid, every free day was filled with outdoor adventures with my friends, there was always someone who came up with a new silly idea, an exciting game, and the world was colorful and fascinating. Plus, I was always learning and discovering something new. Sure, it was not like that all the time, everything had its downsides, and some things could make growing up very unpleasant (kids can be cruel). However, when watching this anime series, there is none of that. I simply remembered the good times, and I had fun thinking about the ideas and naivety of the main characters, what they came up with, and enjoyed every adventure. It is energetic, silly, and really very funny and cute in places. I love shows like that. This anime series was just so good and I was not just thinking about what was happening on screen. I was thinking about real life, my own past, and, as I wrote before, everything that was so cool during my own childhood, for probably the first time while watching a "cute girls doing cute things" anime series. So even though it has some shortcomings, like the background music, which is sometimes quite distracting (the opening and ending were perfect, though), I cannot help but say that this was an outstanding show. 8.3/10.
