Zenshu was one of the most anticipated anime of the year, the brand new animation from the MAPPA studio allowed us to see how anything can be interesting and brilliant, however, a title that also focuses on animators and that had a heavy production by part of Dan Da Dan’s animation house is Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! And here I tell you how interesting it is.
Zenshu is not far behind, the series debuted with a chapter of chewy tones with a lot of opportunity on a narrative and animated level. Furthermore, the question of isekai is added, which allows us, in principle, to think if Natsuko Hirose, the protagonist, will be able to return to reality or if, like all isekai heroes, she will stay in a new reality.
Zenshu vs. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Is it better than Zenshu?: more about Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
What happens in Zenshu… Nat, the animator now “works” in a place where what she draws comes true. The girl begins a very interesting learning path, much more collaborative, perhaps she will be able to trust others to delegate tasks…
In short, the animator of Zenshu is far from being like Midori Asakusa and Tsubame Mizusaki who are young and immediately become a duo to make anime. For her part, friend Sayaka Kanamori will see a way to capitalize on her products to create more, win all, and defend her projects in the future.
It’s not really about one being better than the other. Zenshu delivers more fantasy in the isekai format, while Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! It does so in the format of the characters’ imagination, which is more in line with what happened in Look Back when we saw an “alternative” ending, however, the girls of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! They don’t go that far either, as far as tones of realism are concerned.
Zenshu and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! are forged in the imagination, but Zenshu does jump into another world that opens up more possibilities, while Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! It remains on a more “earthly” level.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!: an odyssey of strokes and adventures
What we see in Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! It’s a trio of girls who form their own club—because Tsubame, as a celebrity, is prohibited from entering the anime club—so their newly opened club is a “cinema” club.
The girls are willing to create everything their imagination allows them to do. Midori loves creating scenarios with great detail, while Tsubame is better at character design, the series makes us learn a lot about animation, its status, problems, challenges and more, very unlike the more fantastic adventure of Zenshu.
The Adventures of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! They have a lot of trouble and a lot of plot, the girls are incapable of staying still or quiet and they slowly show us how complicated it is to be part of the creators’ guild, both in animation and manga and even in editorial matters.
Unlike the magical splendor of Zenshu, in Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! We have a more “realistic” air, but in both installments, the lines jump to reality and allow us to coexist with the imagination of the girls who draw their path towards animation.
¿Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! vs. Dan Da Dan?
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! comes from the Science Saru studio, which launched the Dan Da Dan installment in the fall of 2024 and plans the second season for the summer of 2025, in addition to the production of Sanda.
However, after the release of the only anime season of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! We have no news of more material, although the manga author has already expressed his desire to see his animated series again.
It is true that each of the animation house’s titles has a seal of guarantee, which makes each installment have even more status, however, with the launch of a series as popular and extensive as Dan Da Dan, it seems It’s unlikely we’ll see the Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken trio again! in anime, what do you think?
Zenshu and the criticism of the MAPPA study: for real?
It is interesting how the MAPPA studio (Jujutsu Kaisen, Vinland Saga) dared to launch an installment of this type, since the animation house was denounced for overexploiting its employees in general, and particularly its animators, this later that the second part of the final season of Jujutsu Kaisen was released.
The series had a terrible imbalance in its quality, which provoked violent criticism.
When the audience began to harass the animators, they defended themselves by commenting on how bitter it is to be a MAPPA studio animator. After that, seeing a release like Zenshu is an even more acidic drink, since it is not only that studio, but lately we know of the big problems that the anime industry in Japan is going through.
Although we see moving installments like Look Back, no one forgets how terrible the anime boom is, since it fails to take enough care of its creators. However, none of this prevents Zenshu from being a success.
