It is a refreshing break from the misery of the news and social media these days. The show is totally worth binge watching on a weekend afternoon. Highly recommend this show – it is a fun romp and inspiring for young and old artists alike. The sense of wonder, play and overcoming some tough obstacles is so great to see in anime. Get the goods from Based Imouto on Redbubble. I’ve been very tempted to buy this Tshirt: The play on her name makes sense in both Japanese and English. She is teased through the show by other kids – though we do get to hear her story and why she is driven to focus on cash. Ep 4: To prove their club's worth, Eizouken screens their first animation in front of the school and their passionate work starts to bleed into the real worl. Personally, I identify a little bit with all the girls but they each have their own, distinct personality. I honestly think Crunchy Roll’s trailers are not the best at showing off the story or the animation so watch at least one episode. Then, when it becomes clear that their classmate, charismatic fashion model Tsubame Mizusaki, really wants to be an animator, they create an animation club to realize the “ultimate world” that exists in their minds. The producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa’s genius. Though she draws a variety of ideas in her sketchbook, she hasn’t taken the first step to creating anime, insisting that she can’t do it alone. I could gush all day about Eizouken so I will simplify and use the synopsis from Crunchy Roll:įirst year high schooler Midori Asakusa loves anime so much, she insists that “concept is everything” in animation.

Viewers need to pause in some episodes to read all the notes as they step into the minds of these girls. It is a mix of sketchy drawings with fanciful details – like a sketch book put in motion. And there's no right or wrong opinion to be had on it. There are of course people who won't get it at all, why others love it so much. That's the first important thing about it, and the reason it has so much pull with certain people in the anime community. Thus begins the trio's journey of producing animation that will awe the world.įrom the brilliant mind of Masaaki Yuasa, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! is a love letter to animation, wildly creative in its approach, and a testament to the potential of the medium.The animation style used is also a major departure from most modern shows. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is an anime that will inspire creative types everywhere. Sensing a money-making opportunity, Kanamori suggests that they start an animation club, which they disguise as a motion picture club since the school already has an anime club.

Whereas Asakusa is interested in backgrounds and settings, Misuzaki loves drawing the human form. The pair are stark opposites, with Asakusa's childlike wonder contrasted by Kanamori's calculated approach to life.Īfter a chance encounter where the two 'save' the young model Tsubame Misuzaki from her overprotective bodyguard, a connection instantly sparks between Asakusa and Misuzaki, as both share an intense passion for art and animation. She is only brought back to reality by her best friend Sayaka Kanamori. Even the simple act of doodling on a wall evolves into an emergency repair on the outer hull of her spaceship.

Always having her nose in a sketchbook, Asakusa draws detailed landscapes and backgrounds of both the world around her and the one within her boundless imagination.
