#KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EIZOUKEN CHARACTERS PLUS#
We’ve got a mangaka like Sumito Oowara with a strong investment in the medium – and a good understanding of animation’s specific demands, as we’ll keep seeing throughout the show – plus a team that’s enjoying the chance to nerd out further every step along the way, be it by expanding sakuga Sakuga (作画): Technically drawing pictures but more specifically animation. Yuasa is channeling his own passion to such an extent that he’s already turned the show’s nerdy protagonist Midori Asakusa into kind of a self-insert vessel if you think that’s an exaggeration, just compare the concept art she draws with the director’s own imageboards, because the extreme resemblance is hilarious.īut of course, a TV anime adaptation is inevitably a group effort, and the reason why Eizouken clicks so fast is that the whole crew involved shares that same love. And when it comes to Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, there’s no doubt that the recipient of that love is animation.
The mantra that every Masaaki Yuasa work is about love keeps getting repeated for a simple reason: it’s 100% true. Let’s begin exploring its equally fascinating production – origins, goals, and what the staff gathered by Science Saru is contributing to an already charming manga. 2020 has started strong with Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Masaaki Yuasa’s evocative love letter to the art of animation.
