Damn but #iroduku is a gem of a show. It stands up better on rewatch… and it was pretty good the first time through.

It also has some really nice character animation: the characters run differently, and the way they move reflects their characters. #Iroduku

As you might expect the #iroduku OP is stunningly beautiful and plays with colours (or the lack thereof) in some really clever ways.

And this is just the foundation to the story, the setting, the place in which we can explore Hitomi’s inability to see colours (except for those very rare times when she can). #Iroduku

Similarly the effect of the time travel on Hitomi is fairly subtly shown but it’s always **there**. The things she doesn’t recognise, the tech that she expects to be there that isn’t, the fact that her phone is effectively an earring (that doesn’t connect to anything anymore, which leaves her even more stranded), etc. #Iroduku

I think #Iroduku: the world in colors may be one of those shows that are more rewarding on a second, slower, watch through. So let’s give that a go.

You know, sometimes its ***really*** nice to try out a show without expectations and get a lovely, sweet story with just the right touch of melancholy to spice it.

For that alone: give #Iroduku a try if you have #HiDIVE.

In the end #Iroduku worked because it learned from the errors of #Glasslip, kept its focus throughout, and achieved much of the emotional resonance of #Nagiasu.

I accurately diagnosed the problems with Glasslip the first time I wrote about it - none of those errors were repeated here. https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2014/08/09/glasslip-2014-first-thoughts/

Wow. That was lovely, and I really did like the #Iroduku finale.

One episode left and I’m hoping #Iroduku can really stick the landing.

Unlike the hot mess that was #Glasslip, Iroduku has kept a tight, sharp, focus leading up to the finale, and the second last episode had some real emotional resonance to it.

And it was GOOD character work and story too! #Iroduku

OK, now I’m not sure that PA Works can stick the landing here (shudders in memory of #Glasslip), but so far I’m liking what #Iroduku is doing.

Wait, wait, wait, did #Iroduku which has 4 female main characters in the ensemble just have a summer/beach episode, with at least one water adjacent scene and NOT bring out a single swimsuit?

And instead used the entire episode for actual, honest-to-god, character work and story.

I am impressed.

#Iroduku is oh sooooo much a P.A. Works anime.

Which is to say the filler shots are pretty… and the shots where they’re trying to be pretty are just stunningly beautiful.

Two episodes in and quite liking #Iroduku. But it’s VERY much a P.A WORKS show.

OH. SO. MUCH. A. P.A WORKS show.
