About Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (映像研には手を出すな！) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. In short: First year high schooler Midori Asakusa loves anime so much, she insists that "concept is everything" in animation. 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.

From there, the producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa's genius. Then, when it turns into clear that their classmate, charismatic fashion model Tsubame Mizusaki, really aims to be an animator, they create an animation club to realize the "ultimate realm" that exists in their minds.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Sairi Itou as Midori Asakusa and Mutsumi Tamura as Sayaka Kanamori. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
