About Play It Cool, Guys

Here is what Play It Cool, Guys (クールドジ男子) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and slice of life anime by Studio Pierrot (2022). The premise: At first glance, these guys look cool and handsome. You want to get closer to them... but then you realize they're all clumsy!

Further in, they forget their wallets, turn on their music on the train without putting their headphones in, put on glasses when they have their contacts in, stab bendy straws backwards into drinks. Despite being so clumsy, these guys never forget to play it cool.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kouki Uchiyama as Shun Futami and Chiaki Kobayashi as Hayate Ichikura. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 24 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
