An original anime titled Hand Shakers has been announced by the Animate stores as part of their 30th year anniversary celebration. The anime project involves animation studio GoHands, media production company Frontier Works, and the publisher Kadokawa.

An official website has also opened with the following teaser text:

Osaka...
They, who receive the Revelation.
They, who challenge God.
They, who fight hand-to-hand again and again.
They are the Hand Shakers.

In addition, the title design is also labeled with the following text in English:

They, the receivers of the Revelation of Babel. They, the challengers to God.
They, who inevitably throw themselves into battle with their partners. What does God want from them?
And did they want powers exceeding that of Gods? The chosen ones, their souls linked,
join hands and head for the Ziggurat where the fighting shall ensue.

Are we getting more and more original anime these days or is it just me.
Never heard of the studio, how come?

Yeah, its true that we are entering the age of anime originals (well, not like we didnt have them b4 but there are a lot more coming out atm) but i don't think thats bad. More anime originals -> more anime -> more originals -> more -> Rejoice. xD.

Also, GoHands, did K. the over-the-top flashy high saturation colors n randomly coreographed action scenes, are a trademark for them i guess. (my signature lol).

Doesn't sound bad. We'll see.

Is there a mal link so that it can be added to lists?

Hand shakers, what a weird name.

In the battle against god, every character has a tragic past who sought after him for abandoning them & when in pain they shake hands and exchange their energy, love, feelings and soften the pain in their unending quest to defeat god-

oops! Went full Mari okada there, I should be more careful.

Also Gohands, pls dont spam those glaring filters & oversaturated colours plus cg like you people always do.

handshakes plus babylon? Are we going to see Gilgamesh and Enkidu in a tournament of shaking hands or what?

The premise seems interesting enough, hopefully it will be good.

Babel? Challenge gods? Fight with partners? Sounds like a Divine Gate Remake.
But with better animation, art & Kansai accents.

Yea, I'll give it a go.

looks like a lot of pretty, bright, blinding colors will be in it since gohands is in it.

Finally! An anime about masturbaters standing up against the tyranny.... seriously, they name an anime "Hand Shakers" and that's the best description they could come up with?

Mar 21, 2016 2:30 AM by dfgh7896

Sounds interesting cant wait for the PV :)

When I first saw the title, I thought it was going to be about maracas.

Gay title but will watch anything GoHands animates.

I have a huge bias for K Project even if the second season wasn't really all that good so I'm in totally!

At least we know there will be good scenery porn

Lol, it being produced by GoHands definitely does not make me want to go running towards it.

Will surely watch the PV. But honestly already seems some that'll be a let down for me honestly.
