"Hand Shakers" came up with a really originally and unique storyline.
Kids, who have to fight against other kids while holding hands, I've never heard of such a plot before.
I was exspecting an really enjoyable and interesting anime, but all I got was a beautiful animation with crappy CGI-effects. Don't get this wrong, I really like the colorful and splashing animation style, but the CGI style doesn't match the anime at all and makes me feel really uncomfortable.
This feeling lead me to the "poor" plot( of the first 4 episodes). I don't get, what this anime really try to be...the story continues achingly slow, the fight
...
scenes were the only interesting thing so far and the other half of the story does't get my attention either. I have to say that the music did a great job as supporter and makes the action scenes really enjoyable to me.
The most important point to talk about are the character designs and development. To be honest; The Animation style of the main characters is beautiful, but the personalities itself are unappealing and "lame", there isn't any development so far, but I'm hoping for a worth seeing rise in the following episodes.
In the end "Hand Shakers" may become an enjoyable show, which focus lies on the beautiful animation. The CGI style is still a disrupting factor, but if you try to focalize on the animation it doesn't matter at all. Maybe it's not the best anime of the winter season 2017, but it is an interesting and unique show, which is of worth to get a peek on it.
