New Game!: And game developers rejoice! (while simultaneously lamenting that a company like the one depicted does. not. exist.)
sadly xD so as i liked Kouya (doujin), after ep.1 it'll be fun to see 'pros' drunk :p
 
Woah! New Game! is geting an anime! Trigger warnings for all Japanese game industry employees!

It's adapted from an adorable 4 koma Manga about a girl who goes to work at her favorite game developer. It doesn't seem realistic at first, but then the programmer girl shows up to chew out the MC for 3D model geometry mistakes that are crashing the dev build.

I wish Komorebi no Kuni was getting adapted, too. (same mangaka, previous work)

Also, I think this was mentioned elsewhere, but Mahou tsukai no yome OVA!

Because JoJo's part 3 was censored in tv

New Game!!, S2 with more yuriprogrammer girls after a mandatory onsen 0VA

Norren said:
New Game: Yay, more Diabetus causing game studio slice of life!
yes, parfaits ;p 'why our team consists of women 0nly? -you finally noticed :lol:
 
Grats Masich! Thanks all!

Since we're getting more New Game!, I think an excerpt of Aoba-chan's antics is appropriate:

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:1918]

On that note, we do need more Kouhai around here...

Ryu said:
now as a sempai you can change Member Title at will, in settings click Edit my Profile and find below About Me page... by example "Lazy Artist" over Norren's avatar, yet im not sure if he asked daft or another admin while being kouhai ;)
I think that setting was customizable as a Kouhai after the forum switch. I forget, I remember messing around with all the menus to see how the new forum was setup.

l0l it's exactly how s2 began yet i prefer Aoba's animated reaction, also Hajime practiced xD but there'll be Kouhais... telling by its kumania key visual as main a new sempai too, from ep.2 character design competition (btw try Gamers!):d
 
I'm going to come out and say it now, how did I miss the first season of all of this? o.o

In any case, I managed to binge watch the first season and OVA so I have to admit I did like how they showed that designing characters for games can be hard, but fun too if you enjoy it that much.

Now that I'm on season 2 here I have to say that Aoba seems to be getting better at wanting to actually learn from the others after the 3rd episode it seems. Also, Nene seems like she wants to learn coding here which would explain the C++ and C Sharp books there.

are you seeing it fansubbed or 'official' subs? as, Aoba's What is fur? looks silly I think fur shaders fits better instead... more yuri friendship by Moon Ranger's fans in #4, Umigon's (0VA gag) deko'shots and finally producer Yamato talks :p
 
Actually it's a mix here and there, but I am liking how they now got the prototype launched and it's them making a blonde girl dressing up as plushies that she manages to ambush so she would understand the world she got herself into.

Also nice to see there aren't 0nly bears but other kind of foes, like Underwater plushies or a sickly loli queen as final boss... still for me Hifumi's leadership' in ep'5 is what stands out, aside another obligatory onsen now Hotarun debuts :)
 
So we got two new members on the roster aside from Nene that joined the company it would seem. From the looks of it Aoba has gotten a new rival without even noticing it I take it.

'Aocchi Suzumiya' noticed in ep'8, after Hazuki's Maid café newbie party idea... but i didn't expect a new ED for Momo, and that fans make Nenecchi's game!;)

Well for some reason it seems that Momo is still not used to the gang completely at first, or more like didn't want to get Aoba's name wrong again. Although at least she was straight forward with Momo on saying if she wants to outdo her in character designing then go for it, but she won't take it lying down of course. Also, this kind of showed how Momo is really living the poor life in a way to the point of where I can see why she would think of Aoba as a threat.

Although I now wonder if Devil Aoba will make a reappearance at all here. In any case the maid café bit was kind of a surprise and was kind of fun to watch, and how Hifumi decided to not get involved in it pretty much was funny to see.

aside Magical girls or sentai (of ep.9) hifumi loves cosplay, unless It's forced by hazuki in order to tease her! but yes... also cockroaches are threat for Momo's childhood friend, now she's nene's rival yet will Hajime's pal Akki reappear?-_-
 
Well in any case it seems that Momo ended up play testing the final portion of the game here, and I have to say from what they showed it looked like it would be a fun game of sorts. Only difference is she only had the bear suit and that's about it.

or as minigame for PS'vita? :/ S2 finale will be sad, especially Rin if Kou quits...
btw just like s1, a JoJo reference in ep'10 (no wonder why Momiji Mochizuki)b)
 
So, this is an 'inside the industry' anime? like Shirobako or Girlish Number? only with game design? I usually like those types.

it is so i think you'll enjoy marathoning this now as S2 ended, if you dont mind 99.9% about girls or cute fanservice... a moving ep.12 kudos for Aoba T.T Peco was her idea after all, wont be the same without Yagami unless S3 at france?:(
 
I ended up saving this to marathon on account of the long road trip. I caught the last two episodes at airtime, but this was a good pick me up. ^_^

Maybe with Kou-chan lent to Ubisoft, we'll get guest cameos from Komorebi no Kuni in S3! (Probably not, but one can hope.)
