It might sound like an odd mix, but fans of Chainsaw Man, Tokyo Mew Mew, and K-On! should probably get excited for Science Saru’s newly announced film.
Originally set to release last autumn, Science Saru showed the first trailer for its next film Kimi no Iro, or Your Colours, yesterday, alongside a new release date of August 30 this year (though that’s just for Japan, you’ll have to wait for an international release date). The film has a very stacked crew attached to it, as Naoko Yamada is attached as director, with Reiko Yoshida on scripting duties. Yamada has a strong catalogue behind her, having directed the original K-On! Series, as well as the 2016 film A Silent Voice, and Yamada is probably best known for having written the original Tokyo Mew Mew manga (and she’s also worked with Yamada before, being the writer on A Silent Voice).
On top of that, Kensuke Ushio, the composer behind season one of Chainsaw Man and other great anime will be scoring Your Colours. The film follows a high-school student called Totsuko, who goes to a Christian Academy in Nagasaki, and can see the colours of people’s hearts. She later meets a girl whose heart gives off very strong colours, and a boy who loves music, the three of them forming a band. As you can tell, it’s a strong crew to have for a film like this.

This film sounds like it’s going to be a must-watch for fans of intense and captivating storytelling, much like the thrill of climbing leaderboards in competitive gaming. The stacked crew behind Your Colours definitely has me intrigued, especially with Naoko Yamada’s impressive track record. Can’t wait to see how the unique premise of seeing the colors of people’s hearts plays out on screen. It’s always exciting to see talented individuals come together to create something special.
