An Engrossing Story
Reasons Not to Sleep On Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken
As mentioned above, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is centered around the concept of animation and why people care so much about it. How this is shown, though, is part of what makes the series shine.
Over the course of 12 episodes, viewers are shown how the Eizouken animation club is set up by Midori Asakusa, Sayaka Kanamori, and Tsubame Misuzaki. Through their endeavors, you’ll learn all about everything from the setting and animation of a series to the business surrounding it.
This is all done while weaving the tale of how these students manage to create animated shorts of their own, despite setbacks like a lack of funding, pushback from their school, and technical errors galore. A great example of this can be seen at the start of the series regarding their budget.
Midori and Tsubame stubbornly oppose cost-cutting measures suggested by Sayaka. By the next project though, they’ve learned how important factoring in money is going to be in the long run, actively working as a group to find the best way to work within their limitations.
It might sound straightforward on paper, but it’s hard not to get sucked into the events portrayed in this show. Each new goal the characters set for themselves, and every new problem they face and overcome, feels like getting a look at the inner workings of a massive machine, and it’s easy to feel like one’s time has been well-spent by the show’s conclusion.
