    Loved Every Moment!

    Truly when speaking of a Seinen, Mature, Adult-like animes Rainbow is definitely one of the top ones. This show almost leaves no place for the comedy side of anime which I like. I prefer less comedy more seriousness and this anime delivered it to 100% The story, drama, characters, development, build up, this anime got everything, there are happy moments, there are sad moments, and as we follow these 7 individuals in a tough environment, each with different backgrounds and struggles and dreams, you start to like them one by one as they progress with their unbreakable friendship, in this anime you will see the very represenation of what True Friends Are For. I recommend it 10/10

    If you somehow have found this anime - Watch It.

    This is an absolute diamond in the rough. The first episode is slow and dark, yet throughout the 26 available episodes, you will trek through every emotion: anger, disgust, happiness, laughter, love, and sadness. It is a rollercoaster whose theme sticks through till the end.

    I am SO glad I decided to give this show a chance and will recommend it to anyone looking for a story with true substance. Easily a 10/10.

    A anime that focuses mainly on the relationship development between the characters.

    Around ten years after World War II, a group of juvenile delinquents are sent to Shounan Special Reform School, a type of juvenile prison, to deal with the atrocities and injustices they experienced during the war. There is already an inmate living there who is now trying to teach the youngsters about friendship and guide them through various difficulties that arise.

    "Rainbow" did a great job of showing the bonding of the characters like no other anime before, in my opinion.

    The story that is told is anything but boring and really captivated me.

    The characters themselves are also beautifully written.

    There is also a good drawing style.

    Rainbow only doesn't get a 10/10 from me because I wouldn't mention it in my favorite animes, but that's more because there are simply anime series that have flashed me a lot more.

    The anime is really HIGHLY recommended!

    I am in love with this anime

    Man, this anime need some attention! Only one word i can say about this anime - It's 'masterpiece'

    The moment the blood of your friends make then family

    The history goes in a dark time, and even with the perils they continue fighting hard for their lifes. It's a very emotional anime.
