Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!

Eizouken is amazing, it is able to make you walk in the shoes of aspiring animators i such a way that it is extremely entertaining. The music is great along with the simplistic art style, but what hooks me here is you feel as if you are there. I would give it a 9.5 if I could because it is just splendid. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

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.

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! :)

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.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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!!
