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

Kanamori is the stoic manager, dead set on making money and keeping the project on task and within budget (with a bit of over the top Yakuza-like leverage mixed in).

Mizusaki is the animator, concerned with making every motion feel perfect.

Asakusa is the concept artist in charge of all the settings and has a knack for story building.

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.
