I've finished watching this yesterday. What can I say? It's awesome.The cast breaks the typical slice-of-life formula of picking 10-15 archetypical characters (moé, tsundere, tsubokki, et c.) and throwing them together. While each character has a little detail on his/her personality that makes him/her unique, Sketchbook ~full color'S~ has only one character whose personality falls into an archetypal category.While there is little, if any, of a plot, Sora's thoughts, which give sort of a "base" for the way in which the events are portrayed in the show, are full of poetry and common wisdom, and the show is very slow-paced and tranquil. That's why, despite of not having a major plot, I gave an 8 to the show stories.The music (25 songs for a show that's only 13 eps. long... wow!) is charming, specially the songs Sketchbook wo Motta Mama (the ED) and Chiisana Shiawase (a song played in ep 10, with European reminiscences). They fit very well with the gorgeous landscapes which depict so masterfully the wonderful world in which the girls live in, that I consider them to be a masterpiece by themselves.Even though it has no major plot, the show is so enjoyable I'd kill for seeing a sequel to this. 9.5/10.
