A The Colors Within trailer that was newly uploaded on the Encore Films YouTube channel reveals that the anime film will premiere in Singapore on December 5 GMT+8.
The Colors Within, the latest movie from director Naoko Yamada (A Silent Voice, Liz and the Blue Bird, The Heike Story), premiered in Japan on August 30 JST after missing its original fall 2023 release date. It was part of Annecy 2024’s feature film selection and the Animation Golden Goblet Award winner at Shanghai International Film Festival 2024.
Encore Films describes the story as:
Totsuko is a high school student with the ability to see the ‘colors’ of others. Colors of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favourite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful color of all. Although she doesn’t play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections. Will they discover their true ‘colors’?
