It's anime original so no one knew what genre is it before it's airing.
Well since now it's already airing, means you can see or at least "predict" what genre involved in it right?

Then notify mods to do it.

Nope, CGserk looks worse and God Eater is vastly better animated than both.

I can see a lot of artistic creativity went into this, but it failed throwing an amalgam of animation techniques, overuse of lighting, fish eye type views, bad angles and camera movement, some weird choppy parts, and the weird dialogue. Also the art isn't that great.

I am not one of those people that will absolutely not watch an anime due to CG, but this just wasn't that great in my opinion. I might watch a couple more episodes, but it will most likely end up dropped.

I do want to add though that the backgrounds looked great. Lots of detail went into them.

I will also add that I did enjoy where the story is going. I wish that maybe a different studio picked this up because the story seems alright so far. It is too soon to tell though.

What bothered me was how that guy was treating his partner like shit. I'm not a fan of bondage(not even in hentai), was someone supposed to get turned on there? I hope not. The animation was super meh: the second half looked beautiful but the first half looked awful. Way too much CGI for my eyes.

Fanservice to me is the least of my worries: the animation made my eyes bleed until the second half. His weapon being a sword was kinda lame and the bad guy was an asshole that I'm glad the show killed off first(hopefully).

The chains animation looked awful too. Given how 2016 was a mess, I'm pretty sure 2017 can't be worse right?


what are you talking about? that bondage shit was sexy af lol

why do ppl hate the animation? its the constantly camera moving that i can see an issue with, since it could give someone motion sickness

TheBigGuy said:


Looks like it.

Yeah. Thought the same thing, when reading comments about O;N.

You're welcome. :)


why people complain about giant boobs, idfk


To me bondage is too close to rape for me: I know some people like it but I want my fanservice to be Vanilla type and bondage isn't Vanilla. CGI looks good in small doses and I don't have problems with giant boobs despite this about me: I'm more of an ass type lover and I don't know a lot(or any besides Keijo and that's pushing the envelop) of Anime where that's the fanservice's focus point. Plus I prefer small boobs anyway but that's my preference.

The backgrounds while nice: in a bad way I have a feeling that's where a majority of the budget went to. It's camera would've been useful in action scenes instead of scenes where there's nothing going on. The president(a girl: shocking)was interesting but the MC was kinda lame to me. I hope he doesn't become another pussy in the endless MC's we already have.

its not the fact that it was bondage that was hot, it was her and the sexy moments it provided that were hot... lol

theres so few ass oriented anime that i can almost count on one hand... but then again... i can definitely count on one hand ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

anyway, im pretty sure i've seen all of them... and while i am an ass man, the boobs in anime are just too good to ignore, flat ass in anime doesn't bother me like it does irl


im not gonna lie there was some choppy animation, even with the fanservice, but even then i still got a boner i still enjoyed it regardless

Man this was absolute ass. Aside from the one street shot that looked straight from K, this was one of the worst things I've ever seen. And I like K project's animation style and cinematography. The only thing that looked kinda okay were some of the character designs.

Looks like low Budget version of K Project IMO

In K, weapon and fighting scene still draws in 2d animation, yet the first season manage to fuse real life background with 2d animation pretty well.
But this.... oh God, DISASTER!!!!!!

I know in future GoHands can fix this problem but know I don't want to waste 20 minute of my life for this show.

Now I know I am not the only one who doesn't like this series, theres a lot of people who disliked on what they watched. (ref: MAL forum). Some people found it hard to even watch the entire episode. I did manage to watch the full episode but towards the end I still didn't like what I saw. A lot of people didn't like the animation and even though this depends on people's taste I would agree on some part of that. I am not going to watch episode 2.

For the episode holy crap i take back what i thought was going to be the most wack this season that first 3 mins was enough to show how much of a trainwreck this going to be not only was this hard to watch because of how much of a mess it was the animation and camera work and slow frame rate added with an overabundance of awful 3CG ,one shot i did like was the fisheye view but K had a lot of that.

That was most excellent. I suppose I should be focusing more on the characters and the plot, but the direction and, most importantly, animation stole the show for me. It is simply groundbreaking and scrumptious, second only to the masterpieces such as Urda. I'm vacillating between scoring it 1 or 2. I suppose I will go with 2 for the time being.

I didn't expect any hot content mainly for the bondage girl. but I think the glowing design, the decor who changed when he catch her hand, camera's travelling, and mostly the concept of hand shakers are pretty good (Some disapointed spectator should prefer the light novel adaptation). And for the bad points: 3D animation doesn't fit into the 2D, and a bondage girl for the first episode wasn't a good idea. I think there is potential that puritans watchers didn't see. Anyway I'm waiting for the next episode because we can't judge just on one episode. J'aime le parti pris personnellement

This show seems like it's artsy for the sake of being artsy. Don't get me wrong It's a beautiful show but as a first episode of an anime It did a pretty bad job of introducing us to the world of Hand Shakers. It didn't do enough to grab me and I can already tell the MC is going to be this deus ex machina hero that just does everything perfect. I mean come on, he fixed a Mazda RX8 in a parking lot with a wrench the gear head in me was screaming bullshit.

Besides the godly seiyuu cast, I see absolutely nothing good about this anime. I was already iffy about the animations when I saw the PV and holy shit, it's even worse. GoHands definitely worked a lot and spent a lot to make this, but it's still a freaking mess. Camera moves too much and the inconsistent depth between the characters and the backgrounds was awful. There's so many scenes where I couldn't understand what was going on because the color palette is a freaking mess, where characters can't stand out of the background. And for a series where the camera moves a lot, it's not even fluid either. And the CGI is awful too, especially those tentacle-looking chain. And people say Berserk 2016 looks bad, but in reality, that's much more well constructed then this mess. I've never watched any anime from GoHands, but I've seen clips of K and SYD and there's both very good looking. K is very fluid and the camera movements are stylish and maintain character/background depth. And SYD probably has the best animations for a high school anime, lol. And the sad part it that there was many more things worse in this episode than the animations. From the cringe-worthy bondage, to the weird "un" sounds the characters make during the action scenes, to the illogical dialogues, to the lack of world-building or background given, this anime messed up everything. Fortunately I'm watching this series with some friends, so it's actually kinda fun making fun of this anime while watching it with others. But if I was watching this alone, then yeah, it'll definitely be a chore.

Hmm thats a pretty unique way of treating your partner
Lol the boob physics in this anime

Though the president seems to be a nice person
that has a kind and caring personality
The ideal SU president eh
So she's played by veteran seiyuu Ai Kayano eh
Figures that i thought i recognized her voice there
Her voice range makes her well suited for these kind of roles

Damm that was quite the unlucky card that she drew eh
Hmm so given his skills at repairing things the mc has a lot of people asking for help eh
Quite an honest person though the mc is
Lol the mc even knows how to fix cars eh
A mechanical genius certainly

Lol the mc just likes to help people eh
The music for this series i actually pretty good
especially that scene where it showed the hospital room

Wow the lock just opening like that as if inviting the mc in
Hmm so that formed the bond between the mc and the girl eh

Lol that professor behaves more like a game show host
hmm so if he lets go of her then she will die then
But i imagine that going everywhere with a girl holding your hand will be inconvenient at best

Lol i wonder is it because of the girl that the mc can move that fast though
Man Break really treats her partner like a dog doesn't he
Quite a hopeless situation the mc's in eh

Hmm a shield of gears that respond to the mc's command eh
now things are more equal then
Wow a sword made of gears
Thats quite a sword

Next episode should be interesting

Hmm a good first episode actually
Story looks interesting and the characters so far look interesting especially the mc and the SU president Lily.

The concept of not letting go of your handshaker is a cool idea and i also like the fact that the mc's resolve actually changed a lot over the episode

Went in thinking GoHands would be doing something with the same tone as K-project which I enjoyed for it's aesthetics and tone much more than the story. By the end I thought I was watching porn.

Maybe without Starchild/the former King Records as producers I should avoid the GoHands studio from now on. The Hand Shakers title was clearly a metaphor for their target audience ffs. What a waste.

I don't think the animators realize that more detail doesn't always make something better. There is a lot of detail on every single character in the episode I'll admit that the art style is not bad, but because there is so much going on in every frame my eyes didn't know where to focus on! The constantly moving camera was nauseating to watch and the awkward angles didn't make any sense with the mood the scene was trying to convey. Also I didn't want to mention it because everyone else in the forum already has but the boobs were so distracting because they just had to bounce every time a character practically breathed. I'm not even going to talk about the weird CG stuff.

Since it's the first episode of the series I can see why the plot might be a little confusing but honestly, I didn't really learn anything about any of the characters other than the fact that the main character is good at fixing things or something and that he has a habit of fixing things for other people. None of the characters made an impression on me that made me interested in them; I don't remember anyone's names.

I'm going to drop it but I hope that the series manages to redeem itself for anyone who continues.

The art direction is really intense and trippy but then there are so many moments when the CGI just sort of pulls you out of the atmosphere, like when the chains showed up, for example. They just didn't flow with the rest of the art very well. Curious if the story will be any good.

This show might end up being the hottest garbage, lowest rated shit of 2017...BUT GODDAMMIT! At least we can say that between Lily and Bind, this show has some excellent over the top tiddy animations.

Though in typical garbage show fashion, we probably wont see much more of Bind for the rest of the season, and Lily will end up being both best girl/most irrelevant characters who amounts to nothing in the show.

It's shit all around.

Poor fanservice (way to take the idea and run it into the fucking ground, Go Hands! : never in my life have I been so turned off by bouncing boobs), poor use of CGI and other SFX, poor direction and nausea-inducing camerawork, background animation for no goddam reason, poor chara designs, disgusting color filters, and all of that is just the technical side of it. Not only does this look bad, but the script is also pisspoor and the story is shaping up to be generic as fuck.

Only saving grace of this episode was the music, which was nice, and even then it didn't manage to save anything.

I decided to watch this anime because of GoHands. I thought it will be like K but K is much more better than this. I'm really disappointed. The animation is really bad. I didn't understand the plot. I'll watch episode 2 and then decide whether I should drop it or not.
