Better than expected, though not a show for everybody.
~~~The first time when I started watching anime, I was noting more than a 13 year old kid. The happiness and the excitement for the unknown was something that made so many of us so attached to this medium.

Irozuku is a show that I added to my watch list the moment it got announced. Artistic, beautiful shows really work for me, so Irozuku seemed like a natural addition to my planning list.

A simple story executed amazingly is what this anime has accomplished, making it a joyful experience a…

Read full review on AniList →A beautiful intertwining between magic, love & letting go
At first glance, the anime gave a peculiar vibe but the more you watched the more the narrative started to make sense and developed into something so dazzling and sweet.
I really enjoyed the concept of magic tied within the heartfelt story, I typically don't enjoy time-travel narratives as they ten…
