Such a funny episode! This anime is my favorite so far, it's just so colorful and easygoing! The cast is so great!

I side-eyed Aoba for not knowing what an NPC was, though... Like, gurl...

I'm watching this in the early morning before I head off to work. Sigh, if only I worked at an office that was full of cute girls.

This show has a lot of real laughs. I like how Rin scolded Ko at the beginning about being a bad influence, but at Aoba's welcome party Rin is the bad influence. The hedgehog scenes were a riot, especially when Hifumi comes home to show her smile to Sojiro and he turns his spiny back on her. Ha ha ha.

Funny, because from the beginning I've felt that Aoba is like an alternate Azusa, and not only because of her twin tails.

This is such a good anime. It really doesn't have much of a plot...which is totally fine. The characterization is enough to carry this show on its own. I love the interaction of all the characters. Bring on the next episode!!!

I feel like this episode was a bit worse than the last one. It seems like a standard moe comedy.

But, that's never a bad thing.

This series is definitely something I'm glad I picked up since I was originally going to skip it. Love the whole moe anime girls but working at a video game company premise, because I get both cute girls and references to game development. Also it seems Aoba is being both shipped with the shy girl and the blonde haired girl? Which ship do I support?

Like I said, PS3 is not childhood. It's beautiful graphic-wise, unfortunately at the cost of story and gameplay ╮(╯︵╰)╭ I'm feeling really sorry if your childhood was shaped by PS3/XB360 generation games.

Pretty boring so far, I almost felt asleep through the 1st half. 2nd half with welcome party was decent though. Typical "insert age and everyone is over 20 and mature enough to drink alcohol."

Thinking about dropping this show as of now. Gonna give it one or two more episodes.

DANG THIS ANIME IS FREAKING CUTE. Especially Hifumi, she is so freaking amazing. The drinking party started off so nice, and got pretty intense towards the end. Gotta keep that information a secret.

Character interactions are just lovely in this, and the animation and style are adorable.

You can't deceive me, Doga Kobo. I know that New Game didn't have this much FANSERVICE in. And wow, you're doing a lot of this... (What's the point tho...)

It's also lost a lot of its 'quickness', which helped deliver the manga's gags and flow of the conversations.

And jeez, they're really trying to push this Director character in. Like, every chance they take, she just happens to be there :/

Not disappointed, but slightly let down this week.

I pretty much knew this series was going to be full-on moe before I started watching it, but I was really hoping for more content about the game industry; however, there's isn't much there (and what is there is just nonsense for the sake of being cute). Anyway, I'm glad a lot of people are liking it, but it's just not for me; different strokes for different folks, eh.

This is basically cute girls doing cute things with plot and game industry theme.

I like it very much, though I don't really expect it to be as serious Shirobako, but It'll very enjoyable if there is more of the industry in it.

I think this episode revealed a lot about this series and its goals. We got a little bit about game development as we see a passable scene of Aoba learning how to make an NPC in some town in their game. But this series is clearly much less interested in game development, and more interested in moe girl workplace hijinks. I'd be ok with that, if it was a little less cliche about it. This episode is capable of some humorous moments, aided by recognizable and well acted characters. But maybe I'm being too harsh, it just hasn't really added up to much for me.

There are some series that could have kept me thoroughly entertained with drunken banter at a restaurant. But I very quickly was just kind of waiting for this episode to end. It just didn't entertain me as much as I wanted it to. And not much else was going on besides seeing how these barely interesting moe ciphers act around alcohol. Also Aoba continually bringing up how she was under-aged was kind of annoying. I didn't start to really mind it until the phone conversation with her friend at the end. But I really just wanted them to stop talking about it.

I enjoy watching this show. It may not seem like it, but it's very watchable. I don't love it's art style but it's not repugnant. It's really engaging to watch, it's coherent and is clearly made with a lot of care and energy. But I wish it was a little better than it is. I think it's capable of more, and I hope I don't still feel that way by the end.
