| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, the animation style of this show definitely reminds me of both K and Hand Shakers. Seems the story take places 10 years later. It has music content in it and we got introduction of the main characters so far. This Yukiya guy seems to want to be recognized in their world. Idk, felt like the story is a bit loose right now so hard to tell where this goes. Technology also seems pretty standard in this show. Seems the studio is trying to make the show visually appealing at the moment. Might have to get used to this DJ music fluff. That materialized weapon though. |

That materialized weapon though. it's implied that it's 10 years after Hand Shakers, with the main character possibly being the MC of that show or someone related. it otherwise uses the same concept of Hand Shakers, including the same dream world and terminology. i have no idea if Stark just watched the episode blindfolded or not at all but that's what's actually going on. |

| So this is Hand Shakers 2, it was a trap! However,although this episode did start off messy and the first part was completely out of wack and I didn't fully understand what was going on, the second half did seem to be more linear and easier to follow. The experimental camera angles didn't come off as uncomfortable to watch this time compared to Hand Shakers, however it still isn't a pretty show by any stretch (looking at you cgi sword). And also do they expect us to take the show seriously when that girls' boobs shook at like 60mph whenever she moved slightly, it was just unnecessary. Overall it was very average. |
 |
| I sense some K vibes in this! As expected of Go Hands to use the same kind of drawing with similar places like it shows in K Project X3 For a very first episode it wasn't bad! I did see some mistakes in the animation which was bad :S It's a very different story and background with... handshakers? Well that's new, but I can get into it in a fewer more episodes ^^ I wonder how this will go. Very nice start :) |

| That awkward moment when this really did turn out to be Hand Shakers 2 lol Well, at least the visuals are way better and doesn't hurt my eyes....That coupled with the fact that the music is pretty good and that I actually like the MC and his friend Hopefully the story won't be trash and that we'll actually get some decent characterization this round MozillaFennekin said: The second I saw that little flashback to Hand Shakers, I instantly knew that this was clearly some kind of sequel to it....I honestly don't know how Stark didn't realize this xDTokoya said: 10 years later from the events of K or Hand Shakers?

I thought it was common knowledge that Stark watches raw episodes pretending he knows Japanese when he does not and then makes a vague BS summary of things he thinks happened just to be able to start every single episode thread sometimes and hours later after watching with subs he'll come back and edit it because he'll realise how wrong he was |
| Watched it without knowing it's a sequel to Hand Shakers (which I haven't watched.) I wonder if it can be watched independently of HS? |
 |
| It's really weird to see the characters become so engaged into music I don't have any feelings about. They still made pretty bad decisions with the cameras. Maybe they animated at 60FPS and then half the frames went to the dumpster (no blending ??) and that's why it doesn't look good ? And before anyone has any funny ideas : no, those fancy programs to magically transform a 24FPS anime into 60FPS don't work, and it will only be even worse on something produced by GoHands. It's about the same level of fake bullshit as zooming and de-blurring in american police investigation series. ahneeme said: MozillaFennekin said: it's implied that it's 10 years after Hand Shakers, with the main character possibly being the MC of that show or someone related. it otherwise uses the same concept of Hand Shakers, including the same dream world and terminology. i have no idea if Stark just watched the episode blindfolded or not at all but that's what's actually going on.

I had doubts about him setting his video playback to x2/x3 but it's unlikely. I'm pretty sure it's not because he doesn't understand the audio and has no subs, because it's still pretty obvious it's a sequel to Hand Shakers as long as you remember how people get into that world and the scenery inside, you just need to have your eyes on the screen to catch on. I've learned to ignore his posts anyway. |
CHC said: Watched it without knowing it's a sequel to Hand Shakers (which I haven't watched.) I wonder if it can be watched independently of HS? According to ANN's coverage of the premiere thus far... Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have seen Hand Shakers in order to understand this one; my guess based on the first episode is that there will be occasional allusions to that series rather than a constant connection, and the mechanics of the Hand Shaker plot can be gleaned quickly enough. ...I would assume so. |
| Oh an Hand Shaker spin off... |
| Man, only GoHands would see their show fail so bad and decide to rehash it by just slapping K Project's ugly art style and aesthetic on it. |
| This really confused me. I have not watched any of the animes talked about in this thread. |
| The sequel season has begun....and how the hell did this get a sequel? Hand Shakers was easily one of the worst animes of last year. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Didn't Handshakers flopped? Why do a sequel?! |
| I mean, it is palatable enough to finish the first episode unlike its prequel. "Generic" isn't all bad when compared to dirty little incestuous cretins and "OMFG CGI CHAINS SO BAD." I can't see the character animation getting any better. Most of the movements seem rotoscoped and the backgrounds just regular locations with a filter over them, as in previous GoHands works. |
 Sometimes you just gotta realize that you can't watch every anime you want to. The struggle is far too real for that. |
| Hand Shaker S2. Lets go. |
| A sequel to Hand Shakers, uh? Ok then I'm getting off the bus now, enjoy the ride lads! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
straggy said: Man, only GoHands would see their show fail so bad and decide to rehash it by just slapping K Project's ugly art style and aesthetic on it. It's the same art style as S1 of Hand shakers.. for me at least it does not look more like K |
 |
| GOOD START! So, this is 10 years later ... hhmm ! I gave HS a 6/10 but contrary to other people i really enjoyed it. |
|
| I was willing to give GoHands another chance since I liked K, so I start watching this. About 1:30 into the episode, I get on MAL to start writing this forum post for the sole purpose of making fun of GoHands using fisheye lens camera and oversaturated colors in the opening scene like they always do. But then I start reading the comments here, and OH FOR FUCKS SAKE, ARE YOU SHITTING ME? You're telling me they made a Hand Shakers season 2?! WHO ON GODS GREEN EARTH THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? And more importantly, why did nobody (including myself) seem to realize this was a sequel until now? It feels like a clown played a trick on us, then we fell for the same trick a second time. I mean, really, the WORST thing you can do after creating a train wreck is send a second train down the same tracks. So, yeah, hell no, Im getting off this ride, peace out. Im glad I paused the video so early and saw this thread before allowing my time to be wasted again |

I really dont see how a lackluster character introduction, several animation errors, at best mediocre and repetitive music with the horrible combination of 2D and 3D is a good start. For me it is, to each teir own, i guess. |
|
| Oh great, more eyerape. Why not K series instead of this? Wrrrrrrrrryyyyy!! |
 |
| GoHands creates this vibe that any other studio would most likely fail to convey. First minute almost tore me apart, as K is my all time favorite and it reminded me so much of it... I hope one day they produce something even better. GoHands creates magic. |
 |
| The first episode I have alot of mix feelings about. Indro: is it me or did anyone felt religion stuff to much, I don't get it how ties in. First of all I love the animation, I think it's visually stunning, and very modern day feel. Characters: Were very loosely introduced, I never thought the ones loosely dancing to his music our ones he going fight.( i didn't mine his girl friend:) Ending: I thought it start getting interesting when he went to other universe place, I think the connecting of hands and him finding his connection is what is interesting, look forward to see what will happen next. Music: I love the intro music, a lot I though it was pretty his dj is not not bad, he is learning how to play. you know. Overall it kept my interested and willing to see how the series go I rate it average the first ep. |
| Feel free to check my anime list profile and my twitter account The Future Is Ani1!! For all things anime!! I hope you have great day!! |
| Who thought it was a good idea to make a season 2 for Hand Shakers? Animation is making me dizzy again and good lord, his DJ was trash. |

| Hand shakers wasn't super special or anything but it wasn't bad either, it only got a bad rep because of CG and that first episode bo.ob bouncing. This show is the same, the core is fine but it get bullied because its not a peoples usual anime. One more point, the show truly shines when watched at the high quality (preferably raw) lots of complains about the visuals comes from watching a low quality versions as in lots of places they treat this as a normal anime and that's why it looks particularly bad on those versions. |
| As someone who enjoyed both K and Handshakers, I am really enjoying this so far! Will have to see how the story plays out to make a final decision. I could tell right away that this was some kind of sequel/spinoff to Handshakers from the moment it started. Not sure how people missed that. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| I've been bamboozled, but I finished the first episode unlike Hand Shakers soooooo there's that. |
| gutter trash show. dusgusting animation quality and backgrounds. |
| Not sure about how I feel about this one, I never watched Hand Shakers ( ；∀；) Was it just me or was the animation a bit sloppy in the first few minutes...? |
| i didnt know this was sequel to handshakers, i only watched the trailer and ah, seems like K, so might give it a try, then my friend who watched it first say, this is handshakers sequel....... idk, i havent watched handshakers and not in the mood to watch a sequel to something so i think im just gonna skip this as well.... im sad, no anime to watch, maybe im gonna pick it up later if it turn out to be good |
| I think I like the visuals of this anime, they have that colorful spark that blends well with the music. They killed it when they had to fight. I was like not " another fighting in another world cliché anime again". yeah, I guess we'll wait and see how the story goes from here on. |
