Together they set out to make a production studio to make anime.

Over time, each character begins to find the role they best operate in: They find an aloof teacher to sponsor their group and create a new Eizouken (film studies) club. They girls don’t want to join the school’s existing anime club, Mizusaki’s parents forbid it, but there’s another catch the anime club is all about watching anime and the girls want to make anime. The story revolves around three central female characters Midori Asakusa, Sayaka Kanamori, and Tsubame Mizusaki set in the fictional waterside city of Shibahama.

By the end of the opening credits, they had me hooked for a whole season. At its core Eizouken is a shōjo (young girl) coming of age story, but it’s not about finding romance or interplanetary superpowers, it’s about a group of high school girls figuring out what they’re passionate about, what they’re good at, and where their skills can benefit the group.
Hands off eizouken series#
Over the break I watched an anime series called Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (映像研には手を出すな) and was so impressed I feel compelled to share about it here.
