Hand Shakers

Hand Shakers is an original action TV anime produced by GoHands, delivering high-octane battles and visually striking animation that push the boundaries of the genre. The story follows Tazuna Takatsuki and Koyori Akutagawa, two Hand Shakers whose bond is forged through touch as they fight to survive against rival pairs in a world of supernatural conflict. Directed by Shingo Suzuki with series composition by Hiromitsu Kanazawa, this ambitious original project was jointly conceived by GoHands, Frontier Works, and KADOKAWA. A must-watch for fans of intense action and bold visual storytelling.

Set in Osaka during the near-future era of "AD20XX," Hand Shakers is a story built around an extraordinary hidden world existing alongside everyday life. In this world, certain individuals form special partnerships known as Hand Shakers — pairs who, upon clasping each other's hands, gain the ability to manifest powerful weapons called Nimrodes, each one shaped by the innermost depths of the wielder's psyche. No two Nimrodes are alike, reflecting the unique nature of every pair's bond and desires. Every Hand Shaker duo carries a heartfelt wish they long to see fulfilled, and the only path to making that dream a reality is to compete against and overcome other Hand Shaker pairs in intense battles. Legend holds that the pair who rises above all others will ultimately come face to face with a being known only as "God." It is within this high-stakes world that Tazuna Takatsuki and Koyori Akutagawa find themselves bound together at the start of an unpredictable journey.
