Those bear designs...idk why but they kinda silly.

I have to admit, the new employees have really tough attitudes at work (Tsubame for instance) The episode was alright, a lot of business and work picked up this week and I think it's nice to focus on the characters' professional careers.

Hajime giving Narumi a hard time tho with good intentions and Nene still getting used to programming.
Seems the office is turning busy again with the new game approaching completion.

Guess things will be hectic again next episode.

Okay, i honestly expected Narumi to be a fun character just based off the opening and her first few scenes when she and Momo were introducing themselves.

Quite the opposite though, i like Momo more than her at this point, Narumi comes off as totally awkward and with an ''i'm better than you'' - attitude. Quite annoying.

Not for the good part of Nenecchi being Nenecchi and her interactions with Umiko once again being adorable. Umiko really embraced the mentor figure towards Nene :D

Kou x Rin was once again really heartwarming. I felt a little uneasy when Kou said her words before going to the window, can't think of anything else other than leaving the company. Hope it doesn't happen.

We got a good spotlight on most of the characters this week.

Nene and Naru both struggle with their projects.

The Kou x Rin moment was sweet.

Great character interactions once a gain. Nene is really carefree yet passionate at the same time. Naru is fun even though she's overbearing a bit, and her Momo interacted quite unlike how they usual do when it came to work material.

The ending was amazing because it's classic Kou yet without the usual atmosphere.

The focus returned to the game's development and it looks like the final release isn't too far off.

Momo and Naru tone down their office drama a little, although Naru is still throwing ice at Nene. Both of them finish their mini-games, and both of them go above and beyond of what was originally asked of them.

It's a little sad to see Hifumi sitting alone eating her dinner while everyone else was having fun. And she's hasn't had much screen time lately either. Hifumi fans of the world, unite!!

The Kou and Rin scene was probably the best and was well done. Kou is still struggling with letting go some of her responsibilities, but the company can't grow otherwise. It's a problem that happens in every office, and somehow usually gets solved. People change and what they do changes.

Overall another very good episode. With only 2 episodes to go (sob), it looks like they are well-positioned to finish the game maybe next ep and then have a grand finale episode. I will really miss this show.

It seems like they decided to focus more on the game development this episode. And it seems they've reached the final spurt of this season's deadline.
Whilst we're still getting a bit of drama between Naru and Nenechi, it seems like she's starting to come into her own. She shouldn't feel too discouraged that she wasn't able to contribute more to the new game's development in ways other than debugging though. It's all good experience for her to grow into her dream role of a super designer XD

Kou reminiscing about a time when she had too much work to do and not enough time. I find it funny how she's actually complaining about twiddling thumbs, haha. I'd give anything to be in her position.

I don't know why, but I laughed a lot when the fish in the minigame Naru was testing started to glitch up and spin around. Thanks to that, a familiar song comes to mind... XD

I can understand Nene's frustrations of being a debugger once again, but her skills as a debugger the last time around was excellent, so having her debugging this game helps her contribute more to the team. That way, her chance of extending her contract would go up and I'm sure that she'll have more opportunities in the future to improve on making her own games as well. =)

Both Momo and Naru are melding into the team nicely now and are helping out whenever they can. Naru's still a little harsh on Nene, but I can't blame her way of thinking at the end of the day. She's making good progress with her work and that can't be faulted.

Kou and Rin's segment was really sweet. It was nice of Kou to give Rin a new watch as a present to her for all the hard work they've put into the game. To top it all off, Kou decided to stay the night at the office and flashed her panties again. That's only twice this season, compared to when she did that in almost every episode from the last season. I did miss that admittedly. =P

Only two episodes left now. D=

they should do valve way to debug games. release games in "beta" disguise and then let the players do the debugging for free.

Narumi's attitude is certainly different from what I expected it to be, thought she was the more cheerful type but she certainly comes off with kind of a supercilious personality.

Kou and Rin moment at the end was really sweet. <3

Good episode.

Nene has her groove back and was nice to see her trying hard and smiling again.

Not sure about that hard mode though lol.

Haha classic Kou, I still remember the episode in the 1st season where Aoba walks in and both Kou & Rin are in their underwear.

That did look like a nice watch.

I'm coming around to the conclusion that what makes New Game rise above the run of the mill SOL shows is that each character develops in a natural way over the course of the series. Examples of this character growth in this episode would be how Nene feels like giving up on her maze game, but after Narumi chides her a bit she talks herself into completing it and tries to add more, Hajime's becoming more of a senpai over Narumi (I liked how Umiko did not intervene when Hajime asks Narumi for yet another change), and the final scene between Kuo and Rin and Rin's gift.

Naru bitchiness level now at around 4/10, we're improving... I don't dislike Momo and Naru, I don't love them either. Their designs are cute, their personalities are also cute around each other, otherwise I'm a bit neutral towards them. At least Nene was able to finish on time!

Ahhh, Kou x Rin moment warms my heart. Though the obvious foreshadowing kind of sucks. Dammit one-way Yuri. Not only will they not end up together, they will end up far apart. "But remember me by the watch I gave you, Rin!" Blegh, rubbish.

Nenecchi is featured in this episode a lot and it was great! She's making a lot of progress for a newbie. So proud of our adorable little airhead.

I can't find myself to like Naru but I really hope that changes with the remaining episodes. I don't hate her or anything, I just don't enjoy her presence as much as Momiji. And that RinxKou moment was sweet. It's been a while since we've seen Kou without her pants on so I forgot she does that sometimes.

I know right? I was worried we'll never get to see Kou panty shots again. What a relief lol

OT:Episode was was pretty good, I liked how they expanded more on the programming side of things and the RinXKou moment at the end was much needed, S2 has been seriously lacking in RinxKou moments.

oke the two new character which i am not really fond of.
both of them has too much pride, if you're intern then act like one.
especially narumi, previous episode is probably really bad because the way she talk and questioning a trusted employee like umiko.

and i don't know... this scene just rubbed me the wrong way. don't laugh if you don't want to be laugh at.

Yeah, that's the downside of it, especially since this season focussed so much on the development of the maincast.

That Naru so arrogant with Nenechi. Really dislike her because of how she treats her. Momo at least treats treat everyone fairly.

I really love seeing Nenechi, she brings so much life to the show with her warm go getter personality. :)

Rin x Yagami moment was so heart warming. Yagami so thoughtful of Rin and imo the best friend who would be there for you always.
I still prefer Rin x Yagami since those two have such maturity and feel more natural together.

Yun also looking so cute when she's deep in thought :)

In the end, Momo is less obnoxious than Naru, although he is not a bad girl, but Nene is too good to be treated badly. Although the girls mature, the narration shows well, as characters remain the ones of always, Yagami is an example. Drawings and animations, well cared for and made well.
