The English-subbed version of the first trailer for anime film The Colors Within (Kimi no Iro) was released on the GKIDS YouTube Channel last Friday.
Animated by Science SARU (DAN DA DAN, Star Wars: Visions, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) and directed by Naoko Yamada (K-ON!, A Silent Voice), the film follows a high school girl named Totsuko who can see the “colors” of the emotions i people’s hearts. In order to keep her friends and family from feeling dark feelings, she worries, reads situations, and even lies to smooth things over.
Her life takes a turn when she meets a beautiful woman with an incredibly beautiful color and a music-loving boy at an antique bookshop in the corner of town. The story follows these three sensitive people who gather together to play in a band.
The script is written by Reiko Yoshida (K-ON!, Girls und Panzer, Ride Your Wave, Violet Evergarden). The music is composed by Kensuke Ushio (Space Dandy, A Silent Voice, Liz and the Blue Bird, Chainsaw Man). Mr. Children performs the film’s theme song, “in the pocket.”
The Colors Within premiered in Japan on Friday, and is slated for an international release in Winter 2024. The film won the Best Animation Film award at the 26th Shanghai INternational Film Festival in June.
