About NEW GAME!!

NEW GAME!! arrives as a comedy anime by Doga Kobo (2017), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Aoba Suzukaze starts another year designing characters at Eagle Jump, and she can’t wait to meet the newbie recruits…if any are hired. But before she can even unlock her senpai status, she comes across herself in a lead designer position for the company’s newest game!

More of the story: Following in her manager’s footsteps, Aoba’s gotta get good if she wants her skills to compete with Ko Yagami’s. Working hard alongside some interesting new coworkers, only time will tell if Aoba gets her best ending.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Aoba Suzukaze (Yuuki Takada) and Kou Yagami (Youko Hikasa) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
