The director is the same as in Coppelion. No wonder. You can see why both are bad.

I don't know where to start...

I'm sure the story idea sounds cool in the director's head, but the execution is just not good.

I love the visuals, they are very unique, pretty and cool. But can sometimes fall a bit apart a little. Also the faces were sometimes off.

The OST isn't worth anything. A lot of the moments were just silence, talking and sound effects.

I want GoHands to success, but this director is the downfall of the studio.

But why? Coppelion was manga adaptation and was done rather faithfully for small part of adapted volumes.

Great soundtrack, especially if you liked the K soundtrack BUT tries to blend 2d animation with 3d backgrounds and does a very mediocre job at it.
It seems like a lazier version of K.. will probably get the soundtrack and not bother finishing the rest because animation tends to decrease in quality after the first episode..

Are people seriously complaining about class prez's boobs, like they did with Ryoka of Occultic;Nine?

BTW nice name.


yea... her and the bondage girl... sexy bondage?????

OMFG HOW DARE THEY... its like the SJW's are in full bloom once again



and people seriously can't concentrate when they see boobs? people have no fucking self control




thank you xD


Look, I don't like SJWs either but raising a criticism about poorly done fanservice doesn't make someone an SJW.

That said, this show's so god damn awful that it isn't even illfitting for there be shit fanservice to go with how bad everything else in it is. Step aside Mars of Destruction. This might just be the new worst anime ever.

Gonna put it on hold until it's all out and I can make a drinking game out of it.

It was very average for a first episode. This anime has K vibes, but the animation was not smooth at all. Sometimes, it's was hard to understand what happened.
The Bind's chains were weird too because the CGI didn't fit with the show. I hope we will not see her too long because the ecchi scene were pointless.

But the musics are very good like in K :)

Aside from the terrible CG, the animation was smooth, however I'm afraid I can't say the same for the dialogues, they just did not flow correctly and felt a bit unnatural. Also, the characters seemed as generic as it gets. All in all, I don't think I'm gonna be watching this any further.

I had a bad expectation when I watched the first episode but to be honest it was pretty interesting. It had weird camera angles but there were some scenes that I liked. The CGI chains were ugly to look at though. Anyways looking forward to the next episode.

The weird camera angles was shown off in like the first few minutes of the second season of Seitokai Yakuindomo, with some CGI. It certainly didn't look this jarringly bad.

I'm pretty sure this is shit, but I'm watching this purely for the lolz
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Wow. That episode was actually kind of impressive in how bad it was.

That was the most terrible piece of CGI I've seen in recent anime.
The chains were all over the place, using the most unfitting shading, and the tracking was awful (3D objects glitching and hovering all over the place). And don't even get me started on that poorly chosen credit font animation in the beginning, it's just obstructing the view of the rather pretty background scenery.

I don't understand how some people can keep using realistic-ish shading in a toon/cell-shaded scene. In 99% of all cases, it looks plain horrible.

Instant-drop for terrible artstyle and unoriginal plot.

For those who have said things along the lines of "People who want animes with serious tones are just elitists who want content to be mature like them".
Thank you for giving me one of the best laughs of this month.
So wanting to watch something serious/mature makes you an elitist? Just because the medium is anime? I guess you learn something new everyday.
I have a question then: What does wanting tities/panties (Fanservice) in any anime make you? What does enjoying an anime 80% more as long as there is fanservice in it make you? My guess is sex obsessed/sexually frustrated immature people who also need everything to be dumbed down for their understanding.
Am I close?

is that neko? or her loli version, ?!?!?

im always have thing for action stories, whatever other ppl say, the art, sound, its fine i like the jazzy thing from this one just like K, i already develop some kind of resist to this kind visualization,its not make headache, the stories does, but gonna wait few eps more , ussually the more eps i watch the headache from 'understanding' the stories gonna lessen, *not apply to mahou sensou (im just watch it not read the LN) that sure give me a lot headache*

it true that it have poor quality, its blur at some point, the colour aren't sharp enough,the camera movement isn't smooth, but hey, it tv series not BlueRay, don't compared it with something comes from ufotable. if in blueray stil 'poor' that the problem

I can see why people say it's bad but once you get used to the CGI it really isn't as bad as people say it is; here are the issues I have with this show:
1. the treatment of that girl is just wtf, she's basically a dog for that guy
2. i think the concept of holding hands is pretty retarded tbh, and how if you let go the girl dies
3. there are plotholes, why did their hairs turn white, what's the point of a handshaker? Also it was kind of random seeing how the MC just goes to the professors room and discover that shit...

Honestly I don't agree with a 5.2 for a rating but maybe more the lines of a 6

I've watched this with a friend of mine and honestly, that episode wasn't as bad as people are saying "like pretty damn abysmal", but overall it's pretty bad.

I can agree at the very least and still stay with it, the 2D and 3D blend doesn't work well along with the filters and background colors, it makes my eyes feel like I'm watching a flashy movie or something coming from Michael Bay if that makes sense, it just hurts.

The story in itself is bad because how it was actually executed, it doesn't actually give you any small explanation, neither does it give you a brief idea of the world, everything seems like thrown off here and there and it doesn't let me grasp it as a viewer, especially with the backstory being completely forced because there's no way to relate to the main character nor a reason for us to care, and it is pretty much on a different level honestly because, I feel like I just do not care and at the same time, the entire idea is kinda stupid, especially with the girl of the opposing side.

How in the fuck can the girl survive if she's part of the Hand Shakers at the very least with the other guy? Like, isn't that a plot hole in itself?

Of course I think it's not the worst show I've seen this season, maybe it would be, but it's just bad. That's all.

Note: By not bad it's more of, it's not really the worst I've seen but at the same time it's not that good honestly.

I'm I the only one who is fucking amazed by the anime's visuals? I think everything was made in a specific way to distinguish the anime from whatever else we've seen before, I don't even see it as bad, to me it was intentionally made to look fucking outrages which gives it its charm. I'm seriously watching this only because I can't get enough of the visuals and the crazy camera angels/movement.

Cam moves a bit much, tho less than Tabootatoo.
Title sequence was terrible, dont but fast action + fast camera behind giant credits text. 3d chains was the worst part, didn't "mesh" with anything else. But most of the other 3d/2d mix were fairly good. Ambitious with lots of drawn faces, moving pov. Some of the best animated crowd characters, each had detail & doing something specific. There's a lot of frames, with 2s on some faster shots. The lab equipment detail is awesome. But some 3d battle arenas look terribly empty with no detail.

Everyone looks pretty with fancy hair, esp false-InoriKoyori really cute. Bg & art overal almost as beautiful as Kabaneri, was expecting a trainwreck but so far seem quite straightforward. Much physics on those oversized chests like Occultic;nine tho.
Masaru seems ok but too much banal monologue. We get it u confused, just do the mc thing & learn.
Villain looks like Homura leader, but more messed up.
Wait only they can't let go of hands? Besides the generic battle schoolboy, interesting setup to require holding hands or she dies (& reminding of his ded imouto).

They're experimenting with a newer mixed artstyle with cg & lots of handdrawn. Whether it works or not it's worth pushing their boundaries. Plebs who think it's the worst cg evar can watch Naria girls, Kemono Friends or Rewrite.

I don't expect good plot with how random they just start fighting w/o purpose in some parallel world, but maybe good enough if it entertains. Ok read the synopsis, sounds like NGNL, beat all the pairs to challenge god. The Mesopotamian theme has a bit potential with nimrod, ziggurat/babel tower etc. At least it's not celtic stuff again.

Better than expected, but still just average-ish. The music reminded me of K. The CG combined with "real" images certainly gives this anime a unique art style.

Personally, I thought it was headache-inducing due to the visuals (overuse of CGI and 3D). It was alright but I thought the animation was really stiff and the CGI doesn't blend in well (it really stands out)

I usually watch an anime until the episode 3 to decide if I'll continue or not, but... I don't think I'll do this with Hand Shakers. One episode was enough for me to dislike it really bad.
The soundtrack was good, but I don't know what the hell they wanted to do with the animation, my head started to hurt in a few seconds. And I don't think that was a great way to start an anime that wasn't written "THIS IS AN ECCHI" with all letters.

I was actually looking forward to this before it aired.
But then came to see how it turned out badly and I wasn't disappointed lol.
Well they tried to make a nice intro but it's quite messy for me tbh.
All the awkward use of camera angle was way too frequent that is gave me a headache.
The story of boy meets girl changes everyday life into a battle royale ehh pretty cliche.
Those load of chains can't even catch two kids wow just wow.
Sudden power up turns the tide nothing new either.
I'll say the ost is the only thing bearable seriously.

Hur-hur, my sword is bigger than your chain! Nimrod, Babel, Ziggurat.. Hand-shaker, are you?!!

Guess I way too old for this, if this was an introduction to the story, someone did pretty bad job.
Not to mention I really don't like this hyper-realistic CG and photo backgrounds, it didn't go well with skippy hand-drawn characters.
Constantly shaking camera just added to my disgust of this show's art direction.

Add in some fanservice to lure the viewers, moning heroine and boob physics... how worse it can get? Oh, right, the story! Grab in every cliche you remember and fullfil your chuunibyou dreams!

Really, there was no worth in this. I can't admit I'm maybe tiny little bit interested in main heroine and her background (then again she was the most likeable only because she didn't talk) but the rest of the episode was bad. Elementary school bad.

The chain bondage girl was slightly awkward and the main antagonist guy I'll probably forget about once I finish this anime. The animation of the chains is awful but I think that the trippy parts were kind of cool, especially in the hospital room with the fishes and the wall colours. Very interesting. The music is pretty chill too. Pretty shitty plot though. 2/5

Not sure if I'm gonna be able to deal with these weird camera effects & CGIs. My take on those is that you REALLY gotta enjoy them to appreciate the show... Which isn't quite my case, I must say.

Main plot seems okay-ish I guess. That bondage scene tho...

Some drawings look pretty odd as well. At least the characters are cute.
So yeah, in overall this is kinda so-so... Expecting some improvement.
