the charac design is cute also.. gawd hifumin you're cuter in anime than in manga... if its this much for hifumin i think i'll die with nenecchi !

When I stumbled upon the manga the first time before it was announced that it was getting an adaptation I thought that with the design and execution Doga Kobo would be the perfect studio for New Game.

Okay....

Ep 01 was absolutely FANTASTIC as far as a faithful and effective adaptation goes. Hard to ask for more - as expected Doga Kobo is completely and totally in their element with this series.

First A rank series of the season for me.

Insta-followed!

Spoiler for ep1:

Cute girls doing cute things in some environment. The usual usual, with Douga Chuubou quality.
What could go wrong? Turn off your brain and just enjoy the cuteness and quality.

It doesn't try hard to do too much, so it's quite tolerable and easy to watch.

Episode 1:
Well, I have to say that Dogakobo did well on their first episode! Should they keep it up, NEW GAME! might become the best anime in Summer 2016!

Still, Aoba Suzukaze will have a long way to go....

[risingstar3110]

Yeah awesome adaptation so far. All of the linking up between 4-koma was really smoothed out as well

Personally like how they played up all of the Aoba x Kou moments. Means they do ackowledge us shippers on that front.

And Jun speaks Kansai? Damn, can this get even better?

Yoshiyuki Fujiwara is a really underrated director. He has never been able to match the vibrant comedy of his Doga Kobo colleague Masahiko Ohta but he makes up for this with heartwarming charm.

[HandofFate]

love workplace anime, so picking this up quick

[zeross87]

watched it a second time with subs,i really can't get enough of yun kansaiben i love it =)

i pretty much understood everything and what i didnt catch i remembered from the manga so it was nice.

i really like the opening, the ending i dunno as there is voice over it. i've read they got provided "official" filler by the author to reach a good ending point on the serie while maintaining correct pace (probably end of vol2 i guess) which is nice.

[alex_drian]

One more time the moe devours my soul, and is fine

[Random Wanderer]

Their screensavers all seem to be game related in some fashion. Ko has classic space invaders playing out as hers.

Wait, so that's from the guy who also directed Mikakunin de Shinkokei and GJ Bu? If the trend holds, I'll grow fonder of the show as it goes on.

Also, I never knew only girls work in the game industry.

Episode 1:

I think it's a funny show so far. Aoba looks like a kid in this but the character chemistry so far is pretty fun to watch.

Meanwhile, they take the professional environment and makes it look like something really fun to be part of. Artwork is very light as kinda expected. I'll be watching more of this for sure. Hope we learn more about each of the other characters besides their age and roles.

[Kitsu Breaker]

This show is not about cute girl, is about pretty woman
I mean, girl is used to younger people not adult, right?

Don't forget that he also did Plastic Memories

[Marcus H.]

Looks pretty good, literally. Everything is bright and colorful, and everyone's range of emotions are depicted on every frame. (What I assume is the animation designer, Hajime, has a rather lively pair of breasts, heh.) Hifumi is also cute with her gap moe the width of the Grand Canyon.

As expected, the show is gonna be like Hidamari Sketch, focusing more on the cuteness rather than the aspect of being part of a certain interest. So far, it's fun seeing Aoba on her first day. No regrets picking this up.

Don't forget that he also did Plastic Memories

That's anime original, so we don't have to worry about being thrashed by the waves of an original story.

[Master_Yoma]

Well those as some weird coworkers and meeting one when she sleeping in her panties

Liking Hifumi

[Alf]

Living in office and sleeping in panties, learning 3D modeling on the fly at 2D job position, off duty at 9pm, an office full of weirdos....and it all looks cute, bright, and beautiful. This is interesing. I wonder how are they going to sugarcoat the crunch time

[Benigmatica]

@Alf
As far as I know, it was supposed to be a light-hearted take on the game industry as told by the author, so it's not like he'll put gloom onto the series when the characters reached crunch time!

this will be adressed latter on

[mangatron]

Man, this series makes me want to join a company of girls I won't get thrown out as a hentai right? Even if I get tossed to Sam Witwicky mail room duty I promise I'll keep my hands and eyes where I can't see them
