      Indeed a Colorful one
      This movie opened up a lot in me (for real), it was just that good. Words can't express how good of a story this was.

      The story revolves around a spirit who got an "internship" to get into the body of Makoto Kobayashi who just committed suicide. The spirit must make use of this internship for his good and find out the reason why Makoto committed suicide. This game of internship gives us a colorful story of that family and how it revolves around the emotion of MC.

      The movie is a glorious one, the story is beautiful. At first, you may seem to hate MC(the reason why many drop this) but he gradually grows in us in a very good way, the story shows us the value of life, friendship, and forgiveness. You may feel uneasy in the beginning but it ends in a much satisfying way.:)
