New Game!

I thought this would just be another one of your everyday moe blobs, but I was surprised to find there is actually some depth to it. The first season was just a really funny, interesting story about game designers, but then the second season actually almost moved me to tears. It's not sad, so don't worry about that, but it's just really nice. I grew to love these characters so much over the course of only 2 seasons. I HIGHLY recommend this anime if you like moe or slice of life, this is definitely better than average. It should have a higher score than it does as well. And I'm not a game designer, so I don't know much about it, but the workflow seemed realistic to me, and they didn't just skip past issues like overworking. Overall, this is just a really nice, funny, pleasant, and surprisingly moving show.

Going into this show, I definitely didn't expect to dislike it, but I also wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. For being set in the same location for the most part, and having the plot revolve around a subject that on paper would be pretty boring, this show does what anime does best and manages to inject loveable characters into that initial bland premise to give it life and energy. This show was also surprisingly funny, particularly the first season. Weirdly this show contains zero male characters, which even though the show pokes fun at and acknowledges, it never answers why that is the case. I also appreciated how they didn't give every character an over dramatic backstory. Some characters have something similar, but never to the degree that many other anime have that get tedious after so many. Overall I really enjoyed this show and highly recommend anime fans give it a try.

Normally with a group of cute girls as the main characters for me, I tend to avoid because of the way they are portrayed. However this anime made me realise there's more then just cute girls. Now it's not my personal favourite, but I liked how they portrayed the "behind the scenes" of working in a video game company really well.

I'm sure high/secondary school students would benefit watching this if they are thinking about going into the software development field.

Anyways definitely recommend watching this anime like it is pretty colourful, kawaii and pretty funny. 7/10
