Being an anime fan, the question of how animation is made is probably one I’m sure most people have asked themselves before. Before Eizouken debuted on TV, we have to remember that creating anime isn’t an easy task. It takes an immense level of commitment, passion, and expertise to make what we see on the screen. It’s not a program that follows a specific code as every anime is different, in shape, in form, and in seeking its ways to entertain the audience.

Masaaki Yuasa is no stranger when it comes animating and storyboarding in his past projects. With decades of experience, he’s been progressively adapting ...

Animation is a wonderful medium, isn’t it? The way drawings get put into a consecutive illusion of motion, combining all sorts of aspects of art and color to create spectacles that inspire others to do the same. That’s the power of visual media: creative inspiration. You can look at all sorts of auteurs and visionaries such as Quentin Tarantino and Hideaki Anno, and they’ll tell you their inspirations: anime, movies, tokusatsu productions, etc. It’s the origin story of most in all creative industries. Creativity begets creativity, so it’s all the more wonderful to see works that celebrate it. 2014’s Shirobako was a charming and immersive ...

“Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!” is pure passion for animation. Every aspect of the show from its eclectic score to its quick, quippy dialogue is charged with a wacky, frenetic, creative energy that flows straight from the screen to the viewer through each lovingly crafted frame. It’s impossible not to have fun watching the off-beat, silly, and inspiring adventures of these three girls who just wanna make amazing anime.

Admittedly, the plot isn’t complex or deep -- there’s not much more to know than “three misfits starting an animation club.” Its lead characters Asakusa, Kanamori and Mizusaki aren’t amazingly nuanced or compelling either, but they’re expressive, ...

Let me start off this review by saying, I LOVED episode 1 of this series, when I watched it I felt like I'd been sucked into a world of wonder and imagination and I was in love, I felt like I'd discovered a gem that had insane amounts of potential, I told everyone I knew to watch this series, I LOVED the unique art style and the depiction of passion and everything about it. When episode 2 finally came around however, I was met with disappointment.

I still liked episode 2, but it didn't have the same spark as episode 1, it felt more... dull somehow, ...

I really wanted to love this show, it’s just there is nothing to love, because there is nothing, period. It is entirely devoid of substance.

The series is a monster-of-the-week about three aspiring anime creators, the “monster” being them imagining their various everyday happenstances as fantastical animated dream sequences. There is some glimpse of a plot about their anime-making school club, but that’s not the point, the point is a love letter to the medium, celebrating the creative power of animation. These imaginative scenarios are indeed creative and pleasant to look at. You know what else is creative and pleasant to look at? Actual anime, where ...

It feels wrong to swing the hammer at a show made by Masaki Yuasa. Everything the distinctive director has been responsible I've enjoyed immensely, and even his messier works like Kaiba and Kemonozume were full of heart and punch.

Eizouken was different though. I had to drag myself to the finish line on this one, forcing myself through the final few episodes. It really shouldn't have been this way. Every PIECE of Eizouken is incredible: the animation is distinctive and evocative, switching styles with a grace that demonstrates great understanding of the medium. The central trio all have powerful, unique personalities not often found in anime--Asakusa, ...

Let's go on an adventure. Let's do it for the fourth fucking time since that's how many times I've had to post this review without it getting deleted. Thank you to the 3 people who will read this and hit the upvote button.

Eizouken is the rare kind of series that kindles or rekindles your love for creativity and animation in general. It's the sort of work that introduces its characters and concepts with such freshness and enthusiasm that you get absorbed into - it grabs your hand and says "we're going on a fucking ride, are you ready to have fun?" and then before you ...

How to make anime 101

I never thought I would watch something like this but damn it was worth to start. This is very interesting show to say at least. The show has very unique art style but what can you expect from Masaaki Yuasa and Studio Science SARU. Since all their works look interesting.

Story: It is quite simple. Our main character Midori Asakusa moved to a new city and started getting interested in Drawing. She soon started liking anime and wanted to know what happens behind the scenes of anime production and wants to make her own anime. Years go by and she starts ...

There is a lot that can be said about Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na. It is a passion project that is coming from one of the most influential and distinguished directors of the anime industry, Masaaki Yuasa. The main theme that the show is tackling is the production of anime, much in the spirit of Shirobako. So far it sounds great, right ? Well, that’s what I thought as well before the show started its run. Masaaki Yuasa has definitely proven himself to be capable to direct incredible anime that have mass appeal such as Devilman Crybaby and Ping Pong The Animation, then, ...

Often enough, what hooks you into an anime is ultimately how it makes you feel.

I don't know if i'm in a soft spot now but, it did made me feel like i understood the love and passion for animation, for the process, for how each and every author makes everything feel unique by leaving imprints; How who we are, how we feel, where we go, impacts the art that is made.

This is what i felt watching it, passion and love.

It helps having a honestly refreshing character design, cool animation, humour and a care-free plot. I'm not giving it a 10 because i think it's ...

This originally wasn't one of the anime of the Winter 2020 season I was interested in until I saw all the praise it was getting on Twitter. I saw tons of memes of the opening, praises of the character designs, and people saying it was already a contender for anime of the years just based on the few episodes that were out at the time. Because of all this, I decided to give it a go. I was unfortunately disappointed.

Before getting into the things I didn't like about the show, I will say that artistically, the show is done very well. The opening was very ...

First of all, I'm not much of one to write a review on MAL, but I saw a particular review claiming that the show essentially doesn't deliver on what is promised in its premise.
I couldn't disagree more.
If you watch this anime for the intention of learning the key processes in the production of animation, you will be satisfied to know that it will teach you these things. Every episode, they give major notes on what part of the process they are working on, and give insightful tips on how to get better looking animations, sound design, etc.
They give enough information to paint you a clear ...

Ah yes, Keep Your Hands Of Eizouken. The new anime that people love to circlejerk about how much of a masterpiece it is. That is not saying that they don't have a point tho.

Keep Your Hands Of Eizouken is a delightful anime about three girls making an anime. One day Midori moves to a beautiful city and after watching an anime anime becomes her passion. Along the way she gets Sayaka by her side to keep Midori in check and finally these two meet the idol Tsubame.

“Art reflects reality”

A commonly used expression usually used to express the idea that art takes shape based on happenings in the real world.

2020’s winter crown jewel without a doubt is Eizouken and offers a perfect example of the aforementioned expression. It follows three high school girls on their journey to create an anime for an upcoming festival. The two creatives, Tsubame and Asakusa are held together by Kanamori who acts as their de facto agent and manager, keeping them on track. Along the way we are able to follow the creative process of the girls and gain amazing insight into the absolutely monumental task ...

This anime is like a love letter to the creative process, a celebration of the boundless possibilities of animation.

"Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" follows the quirky trio of Asakusa, Mizusaki, and Kanamori as they embark on a journey to create their own anime. The series is a meta exploration of the animation industry, delving into the nitty-gritty of concept design, storytelling, and the sheer passion that fuels the creative process. It's a love story to the art of animation itself.

Let's talk characters. Asakusa, the dreamy animator with an insatiable imagination; Mizusaki, the high-class model with a passion for movement; and Kanamori, the pragmatic producer with ...

When I originally watched it as it came out, I ended up grading this an A- at 90/100. I recently rewatched it, and caught so much I missed in the original viewing, I had to bump that way up.

I always loved the artwork here. Nothing edgy or avant garde but there's a wonderful creativity and professionalism that is apparent behind every scene. The second time through, I caught so much in the animation that I had missed initially. There is no detail too small not to be fussed over. It is not shonenesque by any means, but it's near perfect for every scene presented.

Originally I ...

This anime is so refreshing in every way possible. It tells the story of young school girls who are passionate about creating anime or, in the case of some, making it popular to make money.

All three projects the girls worked on during these 12 episodes were very well written from the production side. Science SARU really showed us all the struggles in anime studios. It was nice to see how Asakusa was going crazy with her ideas, Mizusaki tried her best to make animation as detailed and realistic as possible, and Kanamori just being there for them, guiding them, putting them together and making ...

Eizouken is a blast of 100% DIY, punk rock energy in anime form. Once the first notes of “Easy Breezy” play, you know you’re in for something genuinely different, and things just get better from there. The three high school girls of Eizouken, determined to make anime at any cost, embody in every line of their animated existence an irrepressible energy that can’t help but translate into an emotionally moving and compulsively watchable journey for anyone willing to jump on board for the crazy ride.

And a wild ride exactly what you get. While Eizouken doesn’t wave away the details that go into making animation, it’s ...

I love anime. You love anime. We all love anime.

Eizouken: Hands off the Motion Pictures Club is about people who love anime. They love it so much. They spend the entire show making anime, talking about anime, and thinking about anime. The intricacies of storyboarding, animation, sound design, voice acting, and management get illustrated in detail. I learned a great deal about anime production by watching this.

Eizouken wanted to capture the magic of creativity and artists’ extraordinary minds, and maybe it did for a few moments. The rest is an unfulfilled promise that left me feeling robbed.

It introduces three likable comrades who are passionate about ...

This review consists of my initial review after watching 4 episodes, and another after watching Episode 5 and 6.

Watching Eizouken with a cup of coffee is a GREAT start to whatever that you need to do. I can't even specifically tell you what it is, but there is just SOMETHING in seeing these three high school girls be busy with animation that gets me all pumped up.

In case you might be wondering, the assumed main character (the shorty with the short hair) is a girl by the way--not a boy. (I found out about the anime from its trailer on my feed on Facebook, and ...
