posted on by Adriana Hazra
Muse Asia is streaming GoHands, Frontier Works, and Kadokawa's original television anime series Hand Shakers on YouTube. The company will stream episodes daily until March 24.
Alongside India, Muse Asia is streaming the anime in Bangladesh, Brunei, Bhutan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Muse Asia describes the first episode of the anime:
The high school student who's good at fixing machines, Takatsuki Tazuna, spend his days going around to do repair requests.
One day, associate professor Nagamasa Makihara from the university branch, asked him to come to his laboratory for a repair.
There, he met with a girl who keeps on sleeping.
As if guided by something, her fingertips touched Tazuna, and a voice start to call upon him.
The anime premiered in Japan in January 2017. The anime received an "extra disc" that contains an unaired 13th episode in July 2018 focusing on Koyori and Makihara's past.
GoHands was in charge of the original planning, and GOON TRAX composed the music. GoHands, Frontier Works, and Kadokawa were all credited with the original work. Shingo Suzuki (K, Coppelion director) and Hiromitsu Kanazawa (K, Coppelion series director) directed the series at GoHands, and Kanazawa was also in charge of the series scripts. Takayuki Uchida (Asa made Jugyō Chu!) was the character designer.
OxT (Overlord) performed the anime's opening theme song "One Hand Message." Masayoshi Ōishi played the acoustic guitar on the song, while Tom-H@ck played the electric guitar. Akino Arai performed the ending theme song "Yume Miru Ame" (Dreaming Rain).
The anime inspired a stage play that ran at the CBGK Shibugeki!! theater in Shibuya, Tokyo in January 2018.
