In its entry, Poniewozik called <\/span>Eizouken, <\/span><\/i>\u201ca giddy flying robot of a story, and it\u2019s worth letting it scoop you up and rocket you away.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crunchyroll describes the show as:<\/span><\/p>\n

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. The producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa’s genius. 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<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Our writer, Gracie, gave <\/span>Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!<\/span><\/i> a score of 80 out of 100 in her <\/span>review<\/span><\/a>, praising its characters, animation, and illustration of the passion behind making anime. She wrote, \u201c<\/span>Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! <\/span><\/i>does not shy away from the nitty, gritty technical matters that go into animating, and it also writes in valid criticisms to some flaws in the industry that tend to set anime studios back<\/span>\u2026 <\/span>Yet, despite all the setbacks, the reward for these characters is simply seeing their project come to life, and I hope this story also reaches people everywhere \u2014 to see that taking advantage of passionate, artistic endeavors is simply unfair.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
