Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Overactive imagination. A friendship based on shared (mostly) passion. Distinctive personalities. Funny dialogue. Well-drawn animation. Cute but not overly kawaii girls. This anime series is really good!

What I like most is that Midori, Sayaka, and Tsubame are totally believable and relatable characters. Even Mr. Fujimoto is realistic in a humorous way. This anime is actually much better than the live-action version.

PS ... Wish I could join their club :D.
