Review of Hand Shakers

The reason for my hatred is that some time ago he wrote a certain story / novel with an exaggerated resemblance to Hand Shakers, the point is that I wrote it before I even knew that this existed, I decided to give it a try, and I found the animation more beautiful that I've never seen in the anime, it was as if they had taken my lore and adapted it to the anime, that made me feel ... well, sad, they did something I wanted to do, and they did it well! another thing is to take a premise and handle it badly, nowif I take out that novel it will seem plagiarism, but in turn, the anime I love it! That's why my love relationship is hate. Well, I left that aside, so, here goes my criticism.

-Animation and Colors: Simply beautiful, a series that should be seen at no less than 1080p, the work in detail is excellent in terms of the foreground and even more in the fights, the weapons at first are representations of the Hand Shaker, in the case of Tazuna it is a kind of sword formed by gears, and the care to the movement and animation of this is beautiful, yes, it relies on a rough use of the CGI and for obvious reasons it is noticeable, but the own filter of the series with the colors it pays to spare, each character has a certain "control / corruption" of the world where the fights take place and each one uses a treaty of different color, which is in agreement with the character in course , they just hit right away.

-The attitude of Koyori: It seems somewhat ambiguous for a single point, but this made the difference between other series with clichés of the "silent girl" that normally appears in the Kuuderes... just in a certain chapter to defeat Chizuru and Hayate, it is shown that he has feelings and coldness is only part of the inability to speak, by giving that blow to Tazuna it shows that he has decisions with what he feels and thinks, and that he is not indifferent to the world that surrounds him, only to show That gains points to the attitude, it is not a Kuudere as it was seen at the beginning, and the knowledge that it has feelings gives the missing touch to that relationship, since it does not feel like a monodirexional relation (it took me a long time to invent a word).

But! Not everything is good with the series, there is a point that gives me a lot to think about, apparently the one who chose the plans or was drunk or wanted to get sick every time there is a monologue, that choice is strange, sometimes it is given an emphasis of greatness/smallness to the character, but at other times, deforms the shot to the point of saying "why?" They do not make sense, that takes me out of my head. I mean, is it necessary to try to make the viewer dizzy when it comes to watching the series? I say as you can see, curving the whole image while doing a panning is uncomfortable, just that, I do not know if it is a bad or good decision, I leave it in you.

Points against:

- Character design: Lolis, lolis, shotas and more lolis, why? make a design like that, more in a series of this kind, that's why I said that I appreciate moderating the fanservice, I do not see it necessary to be watching ecchi in a series purely of fights and plot, I already said it, it is appreciated, but it is uncomfortable see children fighting, and in itself, they touch issues of incest and obsession, now, the cherry would be child abuse xD. Although at the end of the day, well, they are mostly high school kids, but there is no excuse, the only Hand Shakers that look like adults are the masoca and Hayate, from then on they look like children.

- The brightness of the series: Another thing to which I do not find any sense unless I emphasize... why so much brightness? someone passed his hand that filter, I say, would not be wrong in certain situations... but at all times there is extreme brightness, or flashes of light, it may be for an artistic theme but it becomes more uncomfortable than pleasing to the eye , without a doubt, to omit most of the situations in which the characters have their own phosphorescence would make the scenes of monologues much more attractive... since already being in the subject, they are also enough

- Empty battles: This is complicated to explain, but, the battles feel empty, not lifeless, as I said above, the work in detail is brutal, but I do not know, the problem maybe is that they do not take more than one chapter to finish, I do not know, maybe it is something that can only be seen and not explained, but at the end of each fight you feel that something is missing, as if it really was not over, although the series specifies that it is not likely that someone I die during a fight, it's not the fact that we keep seeing the character, that's fine, I mean, it's strange.

Out of all that there are certain things that I feel I should talk but the truth is not too important to deserve a point, as the way in which Koyori wakes the nimrod, I liked nothing, and other things, but I think I better give a small opinion about the series in general, I already said above, without a doubt, the best animation I've seen in any anime, I am amused that people labeled this series as "Another cliché anime" yes, it is not bad to be inspired by a theme that is already known, I can name several animes like that, but even the best works are plagiarism of something else, the point is how you are going to handle that premise, and without a doubt Hand Shakers did it well, and the points that had to be to play better as the relationships of each couple or Koyori's own attitude, themes that other series displace, Hand Shakers did well, a series worth seeing, worst of all, is... THAT ALL THAT ANNOYING ME! It's a beautiful series, and I had a similar story if not equal, and someone already did well! I'm glad they knew how to carry a story in which I got stuck for years.
