I'm very, very pleased with how this turned out. I like the manga and when I heard it's getting an anime adaptation I was worried they might botch it. They definitely didn't. The artstyle in particular was adapted pretty faithfully and the anime looks good. My sole complaint was that I always imagined Aoba with a completely different voice but that's pretty subjective I guess. I was tired when I watched ep 1 so I didn't pay much attention to some minor technical aspects of the adaptation but since I didn't really notice anything about them I think it's safe to claim everything was done at least correctly.

So yeah, at this point I'm fairly confident there's little that could prevent this from being a very enjoyable show. Recommended.

I agree with the voice of Aoba. Overall I think it seems to be a promising adaption. The anime looks colorful and cute.

I wish I worked somewhere with even a tenth as many cute girls as this place.

>>26484
But a man working there would ruin it!

>>26500
I could become a cute girl myself if necessary.

I want to protect that smile.

The animation was really fluid and the characters look very cute, but I think the pacing doesn't really translate the jokes of the manga very well. I guess I'll just continue to watch it for the cute girls.

An all female game publisher? really? I'm not complaining or anything here but really??

I really want to watch this, but I heard that there was a manga. I don't know which one I should go after.

It'll be nice to see a cute work place anime that wont get ruined by bullshit romance drama like working or servicexservent.

>>26538

Also looking at New Game as a workplace anime is kinda off, it's a typical Kirara CGDCT SoL fare.

>>26537
As someone who has read the manga and is watching the anime I think you can't go wrong. I'd give the tiniest bit of advantage to the manga but ultimately it's about which medium you enjoy more.
And hey, it's not like you can't follow both, right?

>>26537
Read the manga first, but just enough so that you can rewatch it again when each week's episode comes out.
>>26536
I don't want characters that are not cute girls in my anime. I'm glad they didn't had any men in it.

...and then they fucked!

>>26547
Impossible! Aoba already held Hifumi's hand!
And man I'll never ever unhear Rin when Aoba speaks, it's killing me.

What >>26535 said shone through in the second ep. It wasn't as bad in the first one I think. That being said I stand by what I said - I think both the manga and the anime have their merits.

The OST is kinda nice but it just feels disjointed from the show somehow. They don't harmonize very well. It's not that big a deal though.

>>26552
Amazing, anime girls that are not even old enough to drink are already more ahead in life than me.

Pretty sure those things usually do little more than just glow, and would be useless for a photo shoot.

>>26558
How do you explain it having worked then?

>>26559
It's magic, I don't have to explain shit.

Do game publishers like that really hire people straight out of high school who don't know anything about 3d modeling?

>>26563
only if they have a really good portfolio which proves their talent

>>26563
I've heard that it's common. Also knew a guy that was scouted into electronics for a cellphone company when he was on his last high school year and he knew fuck nothing about electronics. He ended up passing through a four year trial in which they taught him what he needed to use in the work, so I guess these investments into really young people must happen often.

>>26563
Yes, but only if they're cute girls.

>>26561
I knew someone will make that edit the second that scene happened.

I really hate it when shows take their time to make it explicit to the audience that their female characters don't have boyfriends nor dating experience and are always restless around men.

>>26576
Me too anon, but modern anime is made to pander a certain subset of lonely people, specially men. Men that are clueless about female interaction, where regular cues have no effect on them. So only by being excruciatingly explicit about these female character's relationship status, can the male viewers fulfil their "women falling out of the sky onto their lap" fantasies.

>>26577
you think you're better than me asshole? you have no right to shit all over me just because i dont fucking understand the subtitles of feminine character.

how am i supposed to understand these women without their making explicit statements? what, interpret social cues? fuck no. i need heavy handed dialogue and tawdry two dimensional characters so my anime doesn't frighten me or make me feel stupid.

fuck you.

>>26576
How do you know it's not a thing that happens in Japan?

>>26577
Asperger's actually makes you unable to view people's emotions on-the-spot.
So you're a normie scum! reee!

>>26577
What's wrong with being explicit about this sort of thing? Why play all these stupid mind games? Being single or not shouldn't be like playing poker, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to just say what cards you're holding.

>>26576
>>26577
Oh come on, let us indulge in some pandering fantasies. It's not like they'll keep repeating this every 5 minutes and it's not like New Game was meant to be a realistic portrayal of the struggles of working women anyway.

I want to marry Hifumi.

Hifumi must look really good with her hair down.

The game they're making looks nearly finished.

Don't get much better than this.

>>26561
They were practically begging for it!

You know what? There aren't nearly enough anime featuring mad cat ladies.

>>26595
Still needs thousands of villagers.

>>26606
You misspelled dozens.

>>26607
Thousands. There'll be villagers in every window, every tile of every rooftop, every corner of every shop, and they'll all be different.

Who's your favorite character?

>>26611
Hifumi is the most natural choice but I actually really like Hajime. She has yet to get any real screentime in the anime but she's a pretty fun character.

Hifumi Hifumi Hifumi Hifumi Hihi-fu~

>>26611
Tossing my vote in for Yun.

>>26611
I like them all.

Fantastic. Yet another opportunity to imply girls doing things for money.

Also, they're making it really hard for me to not ship these two together.

>>26648
They're at work, of course they're all doing things for money?

>>26484
But wouldn't it be awful to be surrounded by cute girls and still not be socially functional enough to socialize?

Looked fine to me, but I guess that's why I'm not a game dev...

I don't remember the manga being as work focused as the anime turned out to be, I'm pretty sure they're throwing in a ton of work chit-chat among the lines 'used to new workplace yet?' between adapting the actual 4komas.
Frankly I think it does the anime disservice. It's not really interesting and is just a distraction from good source material.

>>26694
Cocoa villager!

and then Aoba decapitated Hajime and that was the end of new game!

How about just making what's her face put on a coat or something?

nyaa!

I can't help but think of the game studio as being GUST. I wonder if the author based it off of anything in particular?

>>26811
I used to kinda think that too, based on the games they make.

So I see kuroneko ditched that incest loving freak and reinvented her look once she graduated from school. Too bad her home life hasn't changed one bit.

Did they just say they were acting immature so Aoba could feel more comfortable around them?
If I heard something like that I would be quite shocked.

Nice way to start out the ep.

That bear sleeping-bag was super cute.

Someone should have told her VA to take it down a notch. She sounds like a five year old hopped up on helium while doing a squirrel impression.

One of the last things I ever wanted to see in an anime like this was a selfie stick.

>>26891
Japan did kind of make the selfie-stick.

This always seemed like a pretty crappy way to duel to me. It seems completely dependent on honesty, and is far too easy for someone to just turn around early and take their time shooting the other person.

>>26911
Dueling was for honour's sake. Back in the past men held honour to a very high degree.
Dueling wasn't to win but to show you were willing to give up your life to retain your honour, meaning if the other person cheated, and you died, you still got your honour back.

>>26897
They should have kept it to themselves.

>>26920
It's the rest of the world who imported it.

>>26929
Why can't they import the decent parts of japan instead?

>>26920
They invented it for the purpose of stealthily taking upskirt photos of schoolgirls waiting for the train. Neurotypicals perverted it into an instrument of narcissism.

I want them to make donuts like that here.

>>26938
this fucking post, this is how i know im not alone, and that there are other people who give a damn about what's right.

thank you, my heart is full

xoxoxoxoxo

nice...

Not only is a big name game being worked on by an exclusively all female dev team, but even every single person lining up to buy the game is female?

>>26998
Maybe it has some major BL themes that aren't obvious on the surface.

You know what you gotta do...

Where's all that wind coming from and why's it blowing in opposite directions?

>>27007
Maybe one of them farted really hard?

I haven't read the manga and I didn't watch it while it was airing, but I'm giving it priority in my backlog because I Doga shows are usually a pleasure to watch.

>>27007
Obviously the force of her grasping her hand and the emotion of the moment created a burst of wind, anon. Do you even anime?
