Colorful is a 2010 Japanese animated feature film directed by Keiichi Hara. It is based on the novel of the same name written by Eto Mori, produced by Sunrise and animated by the animation studio Ascension.Upon reaching the train station to death, a dejected soul known only as "I" is informed that he is 'lucky' and will have another chance at life. He is placed in the body of a 14-year-old boy named Makoto Kobayashi, who has just committed suicide. Watched over by a neutral spirit named Purapura, the soul must figure out what his greatest sin and mistake in his former life was before his time limit in Makoto's body runs out. He also has a number of other lesser duties he must complete, such as understanding what led Makoto to commit suicide in the first place and learning how to enjoy his second chance at life.Not to be mistaken for the manga and anime series Colorful.

Compensated Dating: Hiroka, Makoto's crush, is into this because the things she wants are expensive.

Parents as People: Makoto's parents have their flaws (the mother cheated for a time while the father is a doormat at work), while still clearly caring about their sons.

Big Brother Instinct: Mitsuru, despite being an Aloof Older Brother, also has this in him especially when 'Makoto' goes missing and has been beaten up by a gang. Mitsuru finds him and carries him back home.

The Reveal

comment
The Reveal: "I"'s true identity is... Makoto, having been tricked by the spirit world into believing that he was the spirit of someone else, and that he was just taking over Makoto's life while trying to find out what his sin was before he died. His sin was killing himself.

Amnesiac Dissonance: "I" as Makoto is more vocal and forward than Makoto ever was much to the surprise of his classmates, prompting "I" to wonder what kind of person Makoto was. "I" as it turns out is Makoto.

comment
Ambiguously Evil: Pura Pura who has a habit of smiling either at the wrong moment or rather evilly as well as "I" questioning whether or not he is an angel. He's not and is in fact a soul that had also been offered the chance to be redeemed but had failed his task.

Foreshadowing: There are several hints to "I"'s true identity of being Makoto such as him still having a crush on Hiroka, the fact that he can draw, and Shouko saying that he was back to 'normal'.

comment
Through His Stomach: Makoto's mother spends most of the film making homemade meals, much of which "I" refuses to eat because of his resentment towards her. Mitsuru yells at him about this, as before "the incident", she bought prepackaged meals, and is now putting in far more effort that he is cruelly refusing.

No Antagonist: The most central characters are flawed, but basically decent people, none of whom could be called an antagonist for the main character. His own worst enemy in the story would be himself.
