Where do I start, this animation is one of my many all time favourite. It's just one of those animated films that just drag you in from every angle. Do you know, when you see an anime or film that is impacts you and makes you go wow? Yeah, this is it. Colourful revolves around the heavy topic of death. This is stated in the beginning of the film: "I" died and was kicked out of the cycle of reincarnation because of the sin "I" committed. An angel told me that "I" won a lottery and he gave me a chance to remember the sin. My spirit possessed the body of the 14-year-old boy Makoto, who committed suicide and "I" tried to recollect my memory. "I" felt distressed by the terrible circumstances of Makoto and the fact that "I" was borrowing his body. "I" have started to realize that people are hurting each other because the world is too colourful to distinguish the true colour of themselves from others.
2. SUMMER WARS
