ANIME REVIEW TIME!
The best anime of 2020 in my opinion was 'Keep your hands off Eizouken' it is about three high schoolers who start an anime club and the struggles that come with following your passion. It really captured what it was like to be a teenager, full of creative drive but with a lack of focus. For once the teenagers actually look like actual teenagers and there is not a lewd joke to be seen, though at times it can be quite funny it isnt laugh a minute. It is also a love letter not only anime but animation itself and it highlights a lot of what animators have to go through such as the poor working conditions and the unrealistic expectations. I also enjoyed that their drawings and ideas came to life throughout the anime. It can be very moving at times just to see them finish an anime and then for them to show it to an audience. This is the anime ive been looking for for years as the charm it has, has been lost to time, there is even a good, spoiler free intro. There is a lot more I could say but I will just say go and watch it, its a masterpiece. - Sean
