Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

I really enjoyed how 'free-form' the twelve-episode piece felt. As though the creators' vision was coming together more organically than any high profile anime I have seen in recent years. My favourite part of all is the three main characters, each very different in her own way but an indispensable member of the team. All the characters felt very human, with all their talents and personal challenges given plenty of time to shine despite the relatively short total runtime. I found the plot airtight with all its ups and downs coming beautifully to fruition at the end. The art is very expressive, dipping into unorthodox styles to show what animation is like from the maker's perspective. I recommend this anime to aspiring artists or makers of any creative project, as I can see how the way it tells its story could be enormously inspiring to anybody who develops a piece of work in collaboration with others.

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!!

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.

This show lovingly basks itself in the ups and downs of creativity and how even though business interferes with art, the love of that art is what keeps the people going...

Sounds like anti-union propaganda, but it's 100x more wholesome then that.

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.
