Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!

So surprised no one has written a review yet? I'll start: This is an anime about a group of girls aspiring to make anime. And it is already one of the best I've seen! The characters are fantastic, the idea is unique, the animation is unique, and the world they live in is just SO COOL TO LOOK AT. I mean you have to see what I'm talking about to believe it! Words cannot express how fascinating the setting is. This anime makes me feel like a kid again with that creative childlike spark, and it's been awhile since I saw a show that did that!

Just watch this one already you won't be disappointed! Definitely 10/10 and in my opinion the best anime this year so far! :)

It's a show about young animators making an anime, there's really nothing more to it. However, anyone with a passion for creating things - whether writing, filming, editing, or animating - will identify with the lead characters. It does a great job of capturing the spirit of creating something, and it gives off a pretty good message that at the end of the day, as long as you're creating something, you're accomplishing something. That being said, I really liked this show.

Eizouken. Best anime of the year, hands down. I think it in short is the best anime of the year because it frankly, has a simple but amazing storyline with 3 realistic girls making anime, with natural struggles, budget issues, action, wholesomeness, best girl Sayori, commentary on the anime industry, great art, and a intro that slaps. It really reminded me why I love anime. The story, style, and vibe. 100% recommend to all new and old weebs.

Is it just me or has 12 episodes of this anime just flew by already this year?!

Anyways with me dropping a ton of anime this Winter 2020 season, this anime was luckily one of the decent ones I've watched through atw!

I really liked how this anime portrayed on anime itself, especially how it is never easy to create it and honestly Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! definitely proved this realistic concept folks!

Fairplay to Tamura Mutsumi, Itou Sairi and Matsuoka Misato for doing such an incredible performance as the girls. We all know here that Kanamori will definitely be crowned "best girl" here for her intelligent blackmail technique when it comes to their animated films haha!

This anime may not have been the best personally but it still was good to keep me interested in watching more of what the group of girls have for us to offer in store. The animation in this I gotta say, is pretty basic enough like it wasn't that mind blowing or fascinating. However it still has it's own charm and is good enough if you're not gonna take this anime that seriously!

Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to be an animator for real or just needs new anime to watch!!

This anime series is centred on a trio of school girls who get together and create an anime club. They don't sit around watching anime; they intend to make their own. Midori believes anime is all about great world building; she is constantly on the lookout for inspiration in the world around them. Tsubame is a local model but aspires to be an animator. Sayaka isn't as interested in anime as the other two but she sees a money making opportunity and negotiates with the school authorities when needed. Throughout the series the group work to be allowed to form a club then work to create their first anime; to do this they will have to work with other clubs; most notably the one member Audio Club.

There are numerous anime series about school girls getting together to form a club; don't be fooled into thinking this is going to be like most of those... this is something special. At first sight the character designs look a little basic but really suit the characters. The town they live in is beautifully designed and as Midori imagines various anime possibilities the animation style changes seamlessly to make it clear what is real and what isn't. The characters are great fun to watch and their activities seem real even when things occasionally get far-fetched. Overall I'd say this is the 'anime of the season' for me; it is just a pity it is only twelve episodes long... definitely one to watch.
