On the higher end of that spectrum, this series was beautiful. On the lower end of what can be said, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken’s visuals were fluid, swift, and, well, highly animated. To start this review, we have to talk about the most noticeable aspect of this show, its animation. That is why we should rally around shows such as Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken that not only figure out how to bring all the pieces come together, those pieces come together in a way that is both excellent and fun. That said, shoddy craftsmanship is still shoddy craftsmanship regardless of how much effort goes into it. The truth is, I critique because I want to, in some way, help those who can do so, craft better narrative. An inherent part of that does involve expressing criticism, and, from time to time, I have been rather harsh.Īdmittedly, I sometimes feel conflicted because I know I cannot even begin to understand the full scope of what it means to animate. Accordingly, I have the (comparatively) easy task of viewing what other people have done and writing my thoughts on what I see. This post is a review, and I do consider myself to be a reviewer. I don’t say this nearly enough, but we must recognize the sheer amount of work that goes into any animation, let alone a full-length anime series. This series was also a gentle little reminder for me to keep things in perspective. No, this show took us through the complexities and rigorous displace that goes into producing even an amateur project. It went much further than thinking up story ideas and being able to draw well. This series was about passionate people doing what they loved most, and in this case, that love was for creating animation. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken was absolutely, unquestionably, incredibly phenomenal. When together, these three become an unstoppable force of animation brilliance, and their passion is only fueled when they form their school’s newest club, the Eizouken.Ĭontinually searching for ways to improve their craft, Midori, Sayaka, and Tsubame are ready to show the world what they can create. Therefore, Midori has always needed a boost in confidence from her friends Sayaka Kanamori and Tsubame Mizusaki (voiced respectively by Mutsumi Tamura and Misato Matsuoka). If there is one thing Midori wants to do, it’s to be a filmmaker. She is a student of how visual storytellers convey meaning through camera shots, movement, designs, setting, and music. Her admiration for the medium goes well beyond an appreciation of artwork. Reader discretion is advised.*** Series Synopsisįrom as far back as she can remember, Midori Asakusa (voiced by Sairi Itou) has loved animation. ***Warning, the following may contain spoilers for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken.
