Science Saru has carved a notable niche in the anime landscape, particularly with its recent success, Dandadan, which has quickly emerged as one of the standout titles of 2024. However, the studio’s impressive track record began earlier with another gem: Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na!, known in English as Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!. This anime, released in 2020, tells the story of three friends, each bringing their unique talents to the table, united by their shared aspiration of creating an anime. The original manga by Sumito Owara serves as a heartfelt homage to the art of anime itself.
Science Saru’s adaptation of Eizouken has been widely acclaimed, exemplifying the studio’s commitment to quality storytelling and visual artistry. On platforms like MyAnimeList, the series boasts an impressive rating of 8.14, attesting to its widespread appeal. Critics have lauded the show for its exceptional art direction, engaging characters, and captivating soundtrack. As Science Saru continues its partnership with Toho Animation, there are growing possibilities for further development of this beloved series—something the creator, Owara, is eager to explore.

Eizouken: An Overlooked Gem
Science Saru’s Reputation Through Eizouken
While Dandadan has captured the audience’s attention this year, it is important not to overlook Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!. Initially, upon its release, the show received the recognition it deserved, yet over time, it has sadly been overshadowed by more recent hits. This is a disservice to Owara’s remarkable narrative which intricately weaves the lives of three protagonists: Midori, Tsubame, and Sayaka, each contributing uniquely to their ambition of creating an anime.
As they engage in various challenges, the trio forms a school club dubbed ‘Eizouken’, presenting it as a film club to navigate the complexities of their creative aspirations. With Science Saru’s expert storytelling, this series stands out as one of the decade’s most delightful offerings. Returning with a second season of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! could rejuvenate interest and redefine the industry, especially with Science Saru’s well-established credentials now.
