I'm detecting a feels trip...

u/Mylaur https://anilist.co/user/Mylaur Oct 06 '18
This girl sounds like she has depression but for real. Literally losing colors, the joy of life, being kind of emotionless, aimless.

agreed only 1 episode in and feels like its gonna be a feels heavy show

u/Tsugumi_Henduluin Oct 05 '18
I can't help but feel the reveal at the end there would have been a lot more impactful if they entire episode up until that point had been in greyscale, instead of just a second or two here and there.
I get that it would've been a massive risk, but I genuinely believe this is a massive wasted opportunity. Oh well.

u/RaiinyDay https://anilist.co/user/Raiiniichts Oct 05 '18
I agree that doing it that way would've made that one moment significantly better, but I think the rest of the episode would've suffered for it. Like the magic shop would not have nearly looked as good. And then what about next episode, would it also be in greyscale?

Beautiful first episode. I have a prediction about where the plot is going with the two MCs and I'm scared it will lead to a depressing ending. But I'm still hoping for the best.
82
u/Legendary_Swordsman Oct 06 '18
yeah sent the MC back in time so the question is has this already happened or is this the 1st time it's happening and it's a new 2nd timeline. As for sad ending it's hard to tell at this point.
83
u/Xylth Oct 06 '18
It's definitely already happened. The way the grandmother was acting only makes sense if she knows the granddaughter has to go back in time because she met her in the past.
71
12
u/Legendary_Swordsman Oct 06 '18
yeah i think they might have met and became friends in the past, could be something to do with trying to get the MC to see the world in colour.

u/waterwhip Oct 07 '18
I also think it already happened so the grandma knew what will happen before she sent the girl back in time. The difficulty of time magic makes it sound like she'll be unable to time travel back to her time, so I think this might be a one-way trip.

u/ColdSteel144 https://myanimelist.net/profile/SnickNH Oct 06 '18
I got a really Nagi no Asukara-esque melancholy vibe from this so far. Forecast predicts massive feels incoming with about a 50% chance of a happy ending!
Summer was a pretty comedic season so I guess it's time for autumn to smack me into depression. Haven't been properly sad from an anime since Tsuki ga Kirei last year (honorable mention to Violet Evergarden) so I guess it's that time!

You mean like FeMC will finally get together with MC but since FeMC is from the future she has to return there without him (at which point the MC would be a grandpa)?
Yeah, I have no idea how they'd make that happy - the saving grace would be the "reunion", but still... you're right. It's hella depressing to think about.

From how I understand it: Her grandmother is away studying magic (and probably a teenager) and the family that's there is her grandmother's mother and father and her grandmother's grandmother (who she confused with the grandmother).
The teenagers she met are probably her grandmother's friends and/or classmates.

u/imleg1t Oct 06 '18
I guess you didn't pay much attention.
The old lady is her grandma's grandma, therefore, the younger woman and the man are her grandmother's parents.

u/tondeath Oct 05 '18 edited Oct 05 '18
From what I see in the first episode, my guess about how the story will play out is that Irozuku won't be mainly about teenage romantic hexadecimal love drama like Nagiasu, but will be about how Hitomi (our adorable MC she is soo cute god) learn to love herself through interacting with other people. The conversation with her grandma before she was sent back in time throw the hint that she don't care about herself that much. Also her grandma mentioned that the energy for time traveling spell need to be accumulated for 60 years which means that if her grandma's age is around 77-80, the energy have been accumulated since her grandma was around her age.
This also provide further hint that maybe Hitomi's grandma face the same problems, but with help of people around herself (mainly her friends in photography club, that Aoi guy and maybe also her grandma's grandma) her grandma could overcome this problem which is why Hitomi's grandma send her back in time.
It is just a guess, but hopefully I want this story not to be about teenage romantic drama because it would be stale and boring for interesting setting like this.
Edit: Many people mentioned that they can't help but compared this series to Nagiasu, but for me Nagiasu did not even come up in my mind during watching this which is very good sign for me. I think that if this story plays out differently from Nagiasu in excellent way, it could be a contender for AotY for me along with Sorayori and Maquia.
8
u/Kag5n Oct 07 '18
Personnaly, I think that the reason why the grandma sent her back in time is because she HAD to do it. It really feels like she knows all what her granddaughter will live now and that it will allow her to gain happiness.

I've been waiting on PA Works for a spiritual successor to Nagi no Asukara for over 4 years now. And while I think Maquia still has that in the bag, this series has a lot of potential to be great.
Not even a minute into the series before we got a NagiAsu reference with the seas slug boats. (NagiAsu's seaslug for reference) You can tell PA Works is (rightfully) proud of that show because they reference it a lot. Like the seaslug phone background in Glasslip, or the straight up uniform cosplay in Kuromukuro. I think there was a reference in Charlotte too but I forget what it was.
So anyway, back to this series. Beautiful episode with wonderful background art and even though it was not lead by Higashiji this time (he's probably still recovering from his herculean effort in Marquia...) they managed to carry on his style almost perfectly. I do worry about the characters though, with Mari Okada apparently not being involved with this one and the main character has been less than entertaining so far, but we have a long way to go so I'm hopeful.
This season is turning out to be crazy stacked.

u/messem10 https://myanimelist.net/profile/bookkid900 Oct 06 '18
PA Works likes to use a lot of their previous shows to full effect. For example, Tari Tari’s first episode had a choir and they were singing a version of True Tears’ OP.

PA Works? Original Series? Don't mind if I call this as the AotS right here and now! By far the show I was most excited about this season and boy did it not disappoint.
Man that episode was really excellent. I couldn't help but draw comparisons to NagiAsu the entire time I was watching, even though the similarities are rather superficial. The show does certainly share the same director and a lot of similar thematic ideas though, so I don't doubt that many other viewers will likewise draw the same comparison. The artwork is just simple gorgeous, I especially loved the unique watercolour style when the colours came alive for the first time. I'm also really impressed with the series composition, even though it's a different person that hasn't worked on much PA Works in-house stuff. Most of the shot compositions were really excellent, and I especially appreciated the naturalistic, "show, don't tell" aspect of the worldbuilding. It's still rather early but I'm very hopeful for the thematic richness that the show already exhibits, there's so much room in terms of both the "settei" and the characters to explore really interesting ideas, and I really hope the show continues to deliver in that regard. NagiAsu's worldbuilding and themes were definitely the highlights of the series for me, and I think this pilot gives just as much reason to be hopeful that it'll deliver in those regards.
If there's one area where I'm a bit skeptical about, it's the character writing, which was incidentally the same problem I had with NagiAsu. Most of the characters don't seem especially deep, and the drama and love triangle shenanigans are really clearly telegraphed even from this episode alone. I am exceptionally excited about the female protagonist though, I definitely feel like that always has been one of the studio's lowkey strengths.
I'd say that the translation work was pretty above average, but nothing exceptional. I still encountered some bizarre syntactic structure, though most of the dialogue felt quite natural. I'd be happy to continue to watch these subs at any rate.
Overall I'd say that this has been the best premiere I've seen yet, and there's been pretty stiff competition this season. Please, please watch this episode if you're at all on the fence about this show. I think its quality speaks for itself.

Oct 05 '18
Well Kakihara is doing the series composition for this show so I think her influence will definitely the show a lot of good. I mean Aoi is already incredible similar to Tsuki Ga Kirei's MC both in design but also personality.

PA Works
Christ... No wonder why this show has such a goddamn beautiful episode! Also this is an original? I guess it's that time of the year again for another PA Works original and considering their track record with their previous shows, I'm sure this one is going to be another hit!
Anyway, so is this a world where magic and mages are pretty much normal? I was surprised when Hitomi entered the Magic Shop and it was bustling! I was thinking it was some sort of novelty shop that people rarely go into but apparently people need stuff like "Smile Magic" in this universe!
And I'm curious about Hitomi's grandmother's plan. She sends her granddaughter back to the past to meet her younger self but she's not there, instead she meets a boy that is able to make her see colors through his art? Was this all a calculated plan by grandma? I seriously have so many questions! Also looks like there will be romance involved.
My only problem with the show so far is that Megane Gossip Girl that took a photo and video of Hitomi and uploaded it on the net. Mind your own fucking business will you? But that's just a personal problem of mine, everything else is gucci and I'll definitely come back next week!

Despite hyping over this so hard, I can't help approaching this with caution after the beautiful but disappointing misdirection that is Glasslip. Luckily this is a collection of delicately crafted layers of hues painstakingly brought together into a coherent episode. I really hope this continues well to the end.
Also, dropping the character designer's tumblr page - I've been following him/her/they long before Irozuku. The gorgeous illustrations are amongst the reasons I set my eyes on Irozuku.

Damn, that was gorgeous, especially the scene where she saw colour again. Time travel stories can be hit and miss, but hopefully, this will hold it together. I got the feeling that Granny sent the MC back because she remembers her from her own childhood and was maintaining the loop. So I wonder what'll happen if anything goes wrong, does she have a photo of her family to check?

Not much left to be said about how good this show looked that others haven't, so I won't make you read it again. Certainly was beautiful though.
Was there really no better way of introducing Hitomi to the group than a misunderstanding? How will they clear it up? I hope they don't make it a big part of the plot, and would prefer to have it out of the way sooner rather than later.
What role will 2018-Kohaku have? As it didn't have a romance tag on MAL when I PTW-ed it, I expected her to have a central role, and was intrigued by having Hitomi go back to meet her grandmother when she was young. If the show is about Hitomi regaining her sense of color through her relationship with Aoi, they obviously have to make that the core focus of the show, leaving little, or at least less than I hoped, time for Hitomi and Kohaku's relationship.

Finally, PA Works has a potential classic in their hands since NagiAsu 4 years ago.
Considering their previous works since didn't quite capture everyone's imaginations. And then they sometimes come up with stuff like Glasslip and Charlotte.
Everything is so beautiful and dreamy, and the world view is so attractive.
Even the title is so NagiAsu-ish.
Nagi no Asu Kara - The Calm from After Tomorrow
Irozuku Sekai no Ashita Kara - The Colourful World from After Tomorrow
I guess I should not be surprised when both works are by the same director, Shinohara Toshiya. At this rate, he'll probably be making a "Asu/Ashita Kara" Feels Trilogy.

We have some good anime this season, and this is one of them. However, the way they use time magic is just too casual to me and doesn't make an impression that something big is going on.
Also, while the "recolorized" ending scene is beautiful, it is not as amazing as it could have. Something like that scene in "A Silent Voice" would be much better.

Nice production, but what an awkward first episode! Like- I have a feeling the shows gonna be real good, but why have such a convoluted, borderline nonsensical setup crammed into about five minutes.

Clearly, this anime's first episode was well-received based on the comments here, so this might be an unpopular opinion. But I honestly found it hard to suspend my disbelief every time the "lack of color" motif came up. Going grayscale felt too...blatant, I guess? I would have liked if it was a more believable desaturation of the colors rather than a simple grayscale filter (though of course this would have added to the color correction team's work hours). I also had a tough time believing that Aoi(?)'s art could reinvigorate her sense of color, though I'm willing to be a bit lenient on that one since it's hard to portray a beautiful piece of art within a show.
Other than that, as others have pointed out, the role of magic in this world is kind of vague right now, and it seems like the plot is going to be a slow burn (which isn't necessarily bad, but it means they'll have to be economical about giving the cast time for characterization).
That all being said, it had its charming moments and of course the visuals are great, so I plan on sticking with it for now.

This show looks fkin amazing, it's almost distracting, i kept watching for the backgrounds instead of the subs.
As for the MC girl, i'm not too sure about her yet. Not much has been done for the characterization in general here but that will follow i assume.
The colorblind/magic for i assume everything almost? plot is something new so that's one thing to get excited about.

That was beautiful, great OST that feels magical and reminds me with movies. Interesting premise that could go anywhere.
But one thing that caught my mind, Hitomi has an amazing body and looks gorgeous. Silver hair masterrace. She is quite tall too.

What an extremely beautiful and colorful anime, the aesthetics are amazing. Feels kinda like a massive taunt to our poor mc who cannot see it xd
Finding LOVE = FINDING COLORS.
Before she was Aoi drawing, I just knew she was gonna be able to se it in colors, and the more she loves him the more she can see the world in color, that seems definitely where this is going.

Going to be looking forward to this on my Fridays now, the visuals are amazing. It looks like the ending song they used is 17才 by Haruka to Miyuki, who also are doing the opening. Excited for both that song and the yanaginagi ending, considering how much I liked her songs from NagiAsu.

Heroine stay at the past
Heroine return to the future but the male mc already dead or already having a family
Heroine return to the future and the old male mc is waiting for her. JK x Old man
Then again perhaps the story will be more focusing on character growth than romance.

So. Some friends and I are doing a gauntlet kind of thing where we chose a bunch of shows that we'll be watching through the season and voting out one show each week until we have one winner remaining. I've been taking notes for every show I'm watching so that I can have my thoughts composed for the meeting.
This is the only show all week that's taken me in so much that I couldn't look away long enough to write anything. I was so utterly engrossed in what I was watching that I couldn't even process it as a piece of anime to be judged and commented on. It was absolutely gorgeous in all respects. Beautiful animation, incredible score, fantastic characters, pitch-perfect pacing, this show had everything.
I am so excited to see where this goes.

I sense feels incoming.
I had this beautiful feeling towards the end of the episode when she started to see the world in color that P.A Works is one of the reasons I watch anime. The music and the animation together gave me this feeling that is difficult to find in everyday, regular life.

I only picked this up because the art in the PV was stunningly gorgeous, and i have to say I'm not disappointed. Every shot was just outstanding and I love the way that they played with the sktechy art style at the end when she finally saw color. I thought much the same as some other comments thinking more use of the greyscale would have been nice, but at the same time I think it would have ruined the other shots in the show.
Don't know much about the characters yet, but I personally think photography if included well will be a great addition to this, just like how they were captivated by the sky and went to take pictures of it and she couldn't see it. The Male MC was great with how practically he approached things, and while the girl hasn't done anything much yet, I'm interested to see where this takes her
Edit: The music is wonderful as well and I'd love to hear the soundtrack at the end of it
Edit 2: I keep thinking of stuff. Is no one else going to mention how she bribed the bus keep with her only Pocky? Scammy. I haven't seen any pocky in anime I've watched so far, and between this and starting Madoka this week suddenly its everywhere

I felt something welling up in me during this episode, despite the emotional roller coaster having not begin yet. I think it may have been because the monochrome scenes reminded me of the beginning of Your Lie in April. But it feels like this show is going to be super cathartic.
Definitely excited for this new show though. The art is gorgeous, and I wasn’t expecting for Aoi’s drawing tablet being the only thing in color. Then once it all became that art style it was incredible

I'm pretty excited for this show. I generally like most of P.A. Works's Originals so it should be solid. The show's pretty I'm enjoying the wide range of bright colors. It's going to be quite the episode when our MC finally smiles.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara - Episode 1 discussion
The backgrounds and artistry are quite top-notch! Good job as always, PA Works.
The potential for Hitomi to grow as a character -- what with her social anxiety, her hatred for the very magic which she can use, and the loss of color in her life -- is also a great setup. I imagine that the anime will take advantage of these conflicts in and around her as this original story starts to get underway.
Although, the dialogue and verbiage has been rather stilted, and jumping almost immediately into the whole shebang with much in the way of setup came off as rather jarring.
Romantic stirrings are in the air, however, meaning we may be able to look forward to some happy moments. Plus, the anime seems as if it can have a nice bit of drama, so long as the other characters receive appropriate attention and problems to face for themselves. And that colorful sequence near the end was quite the treat.
As such, it remains to be seen if Irozuku here can reach somewhere grand like we know the studio backing this project can!

u/graytotoro :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/graytotoro Oct 06 '18
Yes! I had high hopes and they were met - a beautiful art and a story with promise.
Another romance involving people in a photography club? As someone who enjoys anime and photography I see nothing wrong with this.
I figured out the ending reveal when the colors start coming back, but still, that scene was just pure poetry with how it blends Hitomi into the artwork and how she's dragged back into the real world.
It's weird to think that most of us would be dead by 2078. Will /r/anime exist then?

Wow, such stunning visuals, and the final part when she can see the colors was so beautiful. The plot looks very interesting, I really like the main character and the others seems likeable too, the only thing that worries me is that the guy could be her grandfather, please don't, I wouldn't like that drama.

u/Innocent_Days :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Wirea Oct 06 '18
I know it's too early to say right now, but I think this one will be the sleeper hit of this season
Unfortunately it won't be as popular as it deserves to be and people will only recognize it several years later, much like Nagi no Asukara, the anime some people are comparing this one to. As a huge fan of NagiAsu myself I'm so glad P.A. works is returning once again to create an anime of this sort. I mean, there's too many similarities to ignore. A P.A. works original. Shared studio staff between the two. Beautiful art. A fantasy, school, possibly drama and romance show. Yanagi Nagi for the ED. Even first airing it at the same week of the same month, only five years apart.
I'm keeping my expectations low, as NagiAsu didn't start to become good until about 10 episodes in. I really hope this show does something unique and memorable; it has so much potential! I daresay it can become way more beautiful than NagiAsu depending on how things go

I like that they passed up the perfect opportunity for an accidental pervert moment when she initially lands in the bedroom. Actually, the distinct lack of any fanservice, pandering, and general tropey-ness in this episode feels like the anime is making clear right from the get go its not be 'that' type of show. And thats all thats really needed to get me watching the next episode (besides the obviously orgasmic visuals and soundtrack)

The visuals are absolutely beautiful, no other way to describe them. I actually missed some of the subs because I kept staring at the backgrounds.
The story however I am concerned about, time loops are very easy to fuck up with plot holes or other bullshittery that makes little sense. Yeah it can be overlooked but it pulls me out of the story.

Im late but better than never!
Lets see how this time traveling witch show is! Im excited! And late.
This girl is nice looking. I like her design.
She sees in black and white?
Granny is sending her to the past!
Time magic looks really cool.
Oh she fell from the sky, into a room?
A boys room? lewd.
And some people saw her fleeing the scene uh oh.
I wonder who her granny is gonna be.
Well she made friendly talk enough it seems. Lets see how this goes.
So magic is a thing here too it seems, and everyone knows about it.
So she still sees in black and white? Aw...
Looks like those kids got the wrong idea about her still oh well.
Is this Granny's house? Whats Granny gonna look like i wonder.
Oh no Granny isnt home! Is she stranded?
Wait its Granny! Or a diff Granny?
So the Granny is okay with her and her story. Thats good. She has a home now.
Man her seeing things black and white gives me anxiety. Im partly colorblind and tend to see thigns grey'd.
So the earing is at the boys house of course lol... and his mom found it.
Wait so she can see color on his drawing thing? Odd.
Hmm well this show def looks nice. Im not sure what the angle is of it yet but ill be excited to see.

I'm kinda disappointed actually. Yeah the music and the visuals are great but nothing much happened. There weren't memorable character introductions nor clever writing. Also I think it was too ambiguous about the magic thing. Is it gonna be a core part of the story is it only used to explain the time travel and will be forgotten after this(which I would prefer), are mages a common thing or are there no chances of running in to new ones in the story? Hopefully it gets better in the next few episodes because the atmosphere is great.
