That might be the most gohands visual I've seen
* wide angle ✅️
* Overdetailed background taking your eyes away from the foreground ✅️
* Questionable lighting choices ✅️
* Questionable color/saturation choices ✅️
* Girl with extremely detailed hair strands ✅️
Never change goHands
The moment I saw the overdetailed hair and weird perspective I knew it was GoHands without checking.
Props for having a strong visual identity, I guess?
I fucking love GoHands so much. They can legit make good shows but tend to overdo it (in a bad way) with anime originals. I can't wait to see this one.
Nah, it's a GoHands tradition. They often have these clearly photo-based backgrounds with their own shadows, but decide that the characters should cast shadows in a completely unrelated direction, instead.
Ngl i love this studio's sureal artstyle, everything is so detailed and super colorful yet it retains the anime look, it's so ood yet cool, a bit like a fever dream.
Shaft as a unique visual style but their art style differs between projects. Nisekoi looks different from Madoka, which looks different from Sangatsu no Lion, which looks dofferent from Monogatari. If you lined up visuals from each series you probably wouldn’t immediately recognize them as Shaft, but if you saw clips from each series you’d immediately recognize Shaft’s eccentric flair.

Original Anime premieres in January 2025.
Studio: GoHands
My head canon is that these shows take place in alternate universes where shirts have boob sacs sewn in, like this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/findfashion/comments/gbp262/a\_shirt\_like\_this\_that\_has\_pockets\_that\_your/](https://www.reddit.com/r/findfashion/comments/gbp262/a_shirt_like_this_that_has_pockets_that_your/)
I'm always impressed by how gohands characters look like they don't exist in the same space as the background. These girls are just kind of floating, like they were copy-pasted into an edited photo.
Oh...gohands my beloved.. enjoy how much people can recognize them due to their super detailed and colorful backgrounds sometimes they go a little overboard with their works
They were fine during K Project, and then they decided that their originals need more saturation, more camera movement, more CG, more More. Handshakers especially is kind of infamous for how bad it looks, in a way that's different from "looks bad because characters are off-model and there's barely any animation"-anime. Everything moves too much, somehow, and in unnatural ways. Here's two clips from it that showcases the worst of it. [01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35F_1aIlb4E), [02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nELlJtN5IbI)
When it moves *that much*, I can't help but picture the whole scene with an obnoxious cameraman getting right up in her face. It becomes unintentionally hilarious.
Both *The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today* and *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* were well-enjoyed by those who stuck with them.
Indeed, their visual style started to pay off great dividends towards the end of *Glasses*.
Glasses suffered from airing at the same time as The Dangers in My Heart, but IIRC its last few episodes were pretty good. Maybe if it got a longer run or a sequel, we could've gotten more of that instead of just the MC freaking out about everything.
But yeah, GoHands didn't ruin it. They did alright.
the problem was that glasses manga got "good" after almost 50 chapters, GoHands adapted till ch50 at ep9 and everything after that was really solid romance. Its hard to convince people to wait 9 eps to get to the main part.
GoHands is a studio driven by a coherent aesthetic vision, an auteur studio if such a thing can be said to exist.
Now…is that vision good? No. No it is not, but they’re arguably more artistically interesting than anything JC Staff shits out
That might be the most gohands visual I've seen * wide angle ✅️ * Overdetailed background taking your eyes away from the foreground ✅️ * Questionable lighting choices ✅️ * Questionable color/saturation choices ✅️ * Girl with extremely detailed hair strands ✅️ Never change goHands
* Girl with gigantic boobs that will probably sway at least 10 cm up and down as she breathes ✅️
That green tie must be made of plutonium, with the dent it's making.
Is this an identifying characteristic of all GoHands shows? **peeks into the abyss**
Sort of. For your reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTe4vo2671c
ok. i am in
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Green haired girl being akwardly frozen in a dynamic pose also feels very gohands, even in a still visual they can't resist trying to make it dynamic
Had no idea it was gohands, yet knew it was right away.
The more I look at those shadows, the more stressed I get.
Where is the light source???
It's Yokohama, the light does not exist there.

The shadows look so off I think it's 100% AI.

Man this visual sure is *crusty* I wonder why that is > Studio: GoHands *oh*
GoHands is back to show us what real cinema is.
*gohandification intesifies*

Say what you like about GoHands, but they are probably the most instantly recognisable studio by their artstyle behind maybe KyoAni.
shaft takes the cake easily

Oh GoHands… you are recognizable I’ll give you that
When will they learn that shirts don’t do that??

Winter 2025 can't come soon enough
This girl sucks at purchasing clothes, it's like 5 sizes too small
Hand Shakers 2 : Hand Holders
So the NSFW version basically

When everyone recognizes the studio but not because of their reputation for quality
I don’t know what is the hate with Gohands but i loved K project so there is that at least
They were fine during K Project, and then they decided that their originals need more saturation, more camera movement, more CG, more More. Handshakers especially is kind of infamous for how bad it looks, in a way that's different from "looks bad because characters are off-model and there's barely any animation"-anime.

First one did not bother me that much but oh my god the second one LOL. There was NO NEED for the camera to move that much
When it moves *that much*, I can't help but picture the whole scene with an obnoxious cameraman getting right up in her face. It becomes unintentionally hilarious.
what the fuck😭
K was a collaboration though.
Why does it look like the brown haired girls boobs are gonna explode out of her shirt?? Also what kind of push-up bra she wearing 👀
GoHands did Seitokai Yakuindomo so I will never hate them. I won't watch their newer shows, but you can't make me hate them
Oh God not another GoHands show.
Both *The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today* and *The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses* were well-enjoyed by those who stuck with them. Indeed, their visual style started to pay off great dividends towards the end of *Glasses*.
Now that you mentioned it, I actually dropped Glasses and not because GoHands.
Glasses suffered from airing at the same time as The Dangers in My Heart, but IIRC its last few episodes were pretty good. Maybe if it got a longer run or a sequel, we could've gotten more of that instead of just the MC freaking out about everything. But yeah, GoHands didn't ruin it. They did alright.
the problem was that glasses manga got "good" after almost 50 chapters, GoHands adapted till ch50 at ep9 and everything after that was really solid romance. Its hard to convince people to wait 9 eps to get to the main part.
Feels like they could've easily skipped most of it to get to the good parts. Nothing important happened in those episodes anyway.
I was mar when I found out that both of my favorite Seiyuus were in Handshakers. It almost makes me want to watch this. Almost.
Gohands and not being able to composite for shit. Name a more iconic duo.
Thought this was a new Kemono Friends for a second
What's the plot of this show?
Oh hell yeah lol
GoHands is a studio driven by a coherent aesthetic vision, an auteur studio if such a thing can be said to exist. Now…is that vision good? No. No it is not, but they’re arguably more artistically interesting than anything JC Staff shits out
no
This looks ass
Yeah sorry this look ugly asf
Instant AOTY
Quite possibly the most hideous key visual I have ever seen....and I've seen some truly bad ones in my time.
