Yamanashi Kazuya

"It burns the other way. I've never failed to do it. I'm going to make it into a legendary perception art, so just wait for me, Hibiki!" Character Voice: Yuma Uchida Affiliation: Artist, 1st year

Height: 175 cm

Blood Type: O

Birthday: April 20

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Tsukimiri, creators of Perception Art. Since the death of his parents 10 years ago, he grew up in Jun's house. He has dreamed of becoming a perception artist since he was a child, and with his direct efforts and the talent inherited from his parents, he is outstanding among his peers.

He was injured in an accident in which his parents died, and perhaps due to the aftereffects of his injuries, he has a super-sensory perception that allows him to "see" a greater amount of information than the viewer would normally receive from perception art. He is able to read the thoughts of the creator of the work and the circumstances of the time when it was painted.

He wishes to return to the kind of relationship he once had with Hibiki, and when they enter the same high school, he begins to attack him with courage! However, when he is treated dryly, he becomes understandably depressed.

Takise Kyo

"Give up on ……. I don't want you involved." Character Voice: Ryota Osaka Affiliation: Grader, 3rd year

Height: 181cm

Blood type: B

Birthday: February 10

He has a father who is a famous grader who laid the foundation of perception art together with Kazuya's parents. He is a childhood friend of Kazuya and Jun, and they once promised to become perception artists together. However, after an accident 10 years ago, he changed his mind about becoming a grader. Without giving a reason, he has kept his distance from Kazuya and Jun.

He is a very capable grader, with a clear head, and is an all-around sportsman. His personality is cool and dry. At first glance, Kazuya's aggressive motions seem to have no effect on him, and he always brushes them off as trifling. On the other hand, he seems to care about Kazuya in some way, making it difficult to see his true feelings.

Tsuzuki Jun

"I wish I could eat chocolate-covered popcorn from the "Pom Pom Shop. I would be happy if I could eat it every day." Character Voice: Natsuki Hanae Affiliation: Artist, 1st year

Height: 173cm

Blood Type: Type A

Birthday: June 30

A childhood friend of Kazuya and Hibiki. He has a frank and open personality, and he always pats Kazuya on the back to cheer him up when he gets upset about Hibiki. He is a reliable best friend who is always there to cheer Kazuya up. At the same time, he is also aware that Hibiki seems to be going through something as well, and he seems to be delicately watching over the progress of the two of them.

He teases Kazuya and Hibiki charmingly about their "chasing" relationship, sometimes advises them, sometimes blackmails them, and sometimes encourages them to have fun while struggling, sincerely hoping that the three of them will play together again someday. He is a bit selfish in front of his cousin Michiomi.

You know how misogynistic men think women are only good for giving them emotional and sexual fulfillment—i.e. making men look and feel good?

That’s how Sakaki sounds like, except towards artists instead, which is a lot funnier than if he was actually talking about women.

Not to mention, he “take[s] good care of [his] tools”? I have definitely heard a line like this from a toxic seme in some trashy BL manga(s).

This whole show is honestly camp, and this was the funniest part of episode 2, next to Kirinoe and Mikuriya catfighting in the background.

Perception Art

A new field of painting created by an "artist" in charge of actual work and a "grader" in charge of production. Basically, a pairing system is used. It is a digital art form that directly affects the senses of sight, sound, smell, and touch, immersing the viewer completely in the world of the work. Although it has only been around for a little over 10 years, it is now widely used for commercial purposes such as advertisements, and like traditional paintings, it is sometimes valued highly as a work of art.

In the past, some people considered it dangerous because it deviated from the influence that works of art should have on people, but now it is recognized as safe because a qualification system has been introduced and the creators and their works are carefully controlled.

Artist The person in charge of the actual work, who actually paints the work in the digital space using special painting materials. The grader determines the concept and theme, but the artist's sensitivity, taste, and ability play a major role in developing the image and forming the work.

Grader A person in charge of production who receives a client's request, determines the concept and theme of the work, and places an order with an appropriate artist. Since the grader is in charge of judging the final product, the grader is usually the one who takes the initiative.

Devices for Perception Art

Support Space A digital space that corresponds to a "canvas" in perception art. It used to be available only in a limited area, but now it is available over a much wider area.

Goggles A gadget to visualize the support space. To prevent adverse effects on the body, such as space sickness, it is forbidden to leave the goggles on.

Gloves A device that corresponds to a "pen," "brush," or "paint" in perception art. When worn, it allows the wearer to draw in the support space. Mainly used by artists.

Frame A special frame that holds the perception art drawn on the support space. By placing it in the frame, the perception art can be viewed without goggles. Once the artwork is placed in the frame, it cannot be taken out, and it is impossible to copy or replace the artwork.

Related to Nagakane High School

Generals The generals are advisors and chaperones for the Perception Art Department students of Naga Akane High School. The most suitable candidates are selected every year from among the students enrolled in the affiliated art school.

The Colorful Dead Picture Frame The empty frame installed in the entrance hall of the Naga Akane Museum of Art. It was originally supposed to be decorated with perception art painted by Mr. and Mrs. Tsukimiri……

INTRODUCTION | TVアニメ「Opus.COLORs」公式サイト

「スタミュ」の制作陣が贈る、完全新作オリジナルTVアニメ「Opus.COLORs(オーパス・カラーズ)」、2023年春放送予定！

It has been about 10 years since the birth of "perception art," an immersive digital painting that directly affects the viewer's senses. Nowadays, it has completely permeated the world and is a colorful part of people's lives.

Kazuya Tsukimiri, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tsukimiri, the creators of perception art and renowned "artists," has just entered Naga Akane High School, a prestigious art school, with his childhood friend Jun Tsuzuki, with the dream of becoming a perception artist himself. Kazuya had another goal in mind. That is to regain friendship with his "other childhood friend" who started avoiding him after "an incident" that happened 10 years ago. ……

Hibiki Manase, whose father is the creator of perception art and a famous "grader," is a third-year student at Naga Akane High School majoring in Perception Art as a grader. He has been a family friend of Kazuya and Jun since childhood, but has been avoiding them for years. Hibiki has a scar in his heart that she can never reveal …….

The various "colors" and "colors" collide and overlap with each other. What is the "color" in their eyes? Welcome to the world of the coming-of-age (art) story that is now being drawn out.

[blankie-greenie-anon]

I was a bit sad to find out Jun and Michitaka were cousins because they are voiced by Nacchan and Tosshi respectively, and I was hoping to see them as KaneHide reincarnated in a happier world.

Now that I’ve had some time to think about it, this isn’t so bad. Jun and Michitaka are family, and in another way, so were Kaneki and Hide. I just want to see them happy together, whatever form that takes.

This is apparently the translation of Daiking's character's introductory quote. Is it supposed to be a nod to his role in Nagatoro?

[blankie-greenie-anon]

Starmyu took loads of inspiration from Utena and Penguindrum. Would Pascala, which shares the same creative team as Starmyu, also share the same inspirations? Or maybe it'll be inspired by YKA and Sarazanmai instead. That'd be so funny.

This is making me wish Ikuni could be involved in Pascala's production.
