Logic sticklers like me appreciate that details aren’t being ignored, but their handling isn’t the best either.

#HANDSHAKER REVIEW SERIES#

– The series seems to be trying to answer questions while keeping some “mystery” – The affectionate parents do nothing for the story, but were kind of nice to see This episode offers nothing to get excited over, but isn’t as jarring to look at, which seems a shame if any further “excitement” will coincide with disorienting animation. – Any hope I had of the story being allegorical isn’t helped this week – Eccentric (assistant) professor is eccentric #Handshaker anime season 2 series Like my review for ACCA episode 2, Hand Shaker’s 2nd episode also began with an information dump. Now I’m not against this tactic, especially when a detailed story is up against time constraints. With that said, a lot of what viewers were told, through Makihara, was information that any semi-intelligent person could already conclude. Any additional information that was ‘new’ to the audience was far too vague to be useful at this point.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to Koyori transitioning into Tazuna’s home and school life. For starters, she has to live with Tazuna’s family, under the guise of a foreign exchange student, who is unfamiliar with Japanese culture and language. This seamless integration is practically eye-rolling.

Well, the animation isn’t nearly as disorienting. Also, viewers are being slowly fed a backstory on Koyori’s character. Aside from that, not much more can be ascertained about what the hand shaker’s overall goal is and why it is necessary to complete. – Backstory on protagonist, Koyori, beginning to take shape. – Convenient liberties taken with Koyori’s seamless integration into Tazuna’s life. This post is part of our seasonal episodic review series.Going into this completely blind was a pretty good idea and not knowing until after i finished the episode that this was a manga adaption also gave me the idea that i should read the manga alongside this anime,it looks quite interesting and hopefully its what i’m expecting ! ! – Episode 2 did little to further the plot.
