Anime film The Colors Within, directed by A Silent Voice helmer Naoko Yamada, is set to hit Indian theatres on November 22, Warner Bros. India announced on Friday.
“Watch how every colour tells a story, and how every encounter changes Totsuko's world. Emotions come alive in ways you’ve never imagined! ✨ From the director of 'A Silent Voice', Naoko Yamada, comes #TheColorsWithin. Releasing in cinemas in India on November 22 in Japanese with English subtitles,” Warner Bros. India wrote alongside a poster of the upcoming film.
A trailer of the film was also dropped by the entertainment company, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of the anime. The story follows high schooler Totsuko, who has the ability to see the colours of people’s emotions. She is particularly intrigued by the colour she sees in her classmate Kimi.
