映像研には手を出すな! - 高校1年生の浅草みどりは、アニメーションは「設定が命」と力説するほどのアニメ好き。スケッチブックに様々なアイディアを描き貯めながらも、1人では行動できないとアニメ制作への一歩を踏み出せずにいた。
そんな浅草の才能に、プロデューサー気質の金森さやかはいち早く気づいていた。さらに、同級生でカリスマ読者モデルの水崎ツバメが、実はアニメーター志望であることが判明し、3人は脳内にある「最強の世界」を表現すべく映像研を設立することに……
全世界が注目する電撃3人娘の冒険譚が始まる!!!!
Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! (Hands off the Motion Pictures Club!) - Midori Asakusa sees the world a bit differently. Always having her nose in a sketchbook, Asakusa draws detailed landscapes and backgrounds of both the world around her and the one within her boundless imagination. Even the simple act of doodling on a wall evolves into an emergency repair on the outer hull of her spaceship. She is only brought back to reality by her best friend Sayaka Kanamori. The pair are stark opposites, with Asakusa's childlike wonder contrasted by Kanamori's calculated approach to life.
After a chance encounter where the two "save" the young model Tsubame Misuzaki from her overprotective bodyguard, a connection instantly sparks between Asakusa and Misuzaki, as both share an intense passion for art and animation. Whereas Asakusa is interested in backgrounds and settings, Misuzaki loves drawing the human form. Sensing a money-making opportunity, Kanamori suggests that they start an animation club, which they disguise as a motion picture club since the school already has an anime club. Thus begins the trio's journey of producing animation that will awe the world.
From the brilliant mind of Masaaki Yuasa, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! is a love letter to animation, wildly creative in its approach, and a testament to the potential of the medium.
