172. Three Leaves, Three Colors
https://myanimelist.net/anime/31564/Sansha_Sanyou
Spring 2016 (12 episodes)
My Score: 4/10, MAL Score: 7.10/10
Best Character: Nishikawa Youko

Premise: After the bankruptcy of her fathers company, Nishikawa Youko went from rich to poor. She struggles to make friends at school due to her princess-like personality.

The Good: I really like the premise of Three Leaves, Three Colors. The rich girl archetype is always fun, so taking that but making her poor puts a new spin on various jokes. The premise isnt used as well as it could be, sadly, but Ill cover that below. It was still a good idea, and the few times it was used for jokes were funny. Youko was my favorite because of that, but I also enjoyed the side characters from her former staff. Shino the former maid was great.

The Bad: Considering how much I loved the premise, Three Leaves, Three Colors turning out to be a generic cute girls slice-of-life anime was so disappointing. Everyone acts like Youko is this haughty, arrogant princess, and I wish that she was! Most of the time shes normal and sweet, so everyone reacting like shes some stereotypical rich girl makes the jokes fall flat. The same goes for the supposedly black-hearted class rep, Teru. The way everyone reacts to her, youd think she was a demon. Only, outside of a few gags, shes mostly normal and sweet too. Futaba is the stereotypical hungry girl, and they actually make her a hungry girl so thats good. Its just too bad that hungry girl is one of the most boring archetypes there is.

Overall: I honestly dont know whats going on with the writing in Three Leaves, Three Colors. They have solid character ideas, a poor rich girl and an evil class rep, and most of the time its like they forgot those are supposed to be their character traits. Youko and Teru are normal way more often than theyre haughty or meanspirited. That turned Three Leaves, Three Colors into a generic cute girls anime in spite of its solid premise. It still wasnt bad, I mean I like generic cute girls anime, but this shouldve been so much better.
