Three Leaves, Three Colors is so good, indeed, and after a lot of head-scratching, I have decided to award this show four stars. It does not lack cuteness, and it is also witty, although the characters are what I liked most and are probably the main reason I gave it a better rating. I liked the main three protagonists in particular. Futaba Odagiri was properly bonkers, Youko Nishikawa was very cute, and the contradiction between the way she behaves with the demeanor of a noble girl and the fact that she could not even afford a proper breakfast was slightly touching sometimes. Even Teru Hayama had her good moments. I also liked the supporting characters, so they were all good. I think they portrayed the relationships well, although some scenes and interactions were a bit too repetitive, even though I have more or less gotten used to that with modern anime series. The animation was nice and colorful, the soundtrack was not exceptionally impressive, and there was even one motif that slightly bothered me. However, my rating reflects the positive effect the anime had on me. On the other hand, within its genre, it does not come across as more than an average show. It has been awarded four stars because three stars were not enough after Youko’s cute smile which she gave me as she said goodbye. 6.7/10. (10/04/2016)
