    One of the decent animes I've watched at the start of 2020!

    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!!

    An explosion of creativity for the brain, sincere and full of heart

    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.

    Most unique anime I've seen in awhile!

    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! :)

    Reminding us all why we love anime

    Eizouken. Best anime of the year, hands down. I think it in short is the best anime of the year because it frankly, has a simple but amazing storyline with 3 realistic girls making anime, with natural struggles, budget issues, action, wholesomeness, best girl Sayori, commentary on the anime industry, great art, and a intro that slaps. It really reminded me why I love anime. The story, style, and vibe. 100% recommend to all new and old weebs.

    Ganbatte Ne !!!

    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.
