This anime is wonderful treasure trove of friendship, subtle yuri and gifs. Oh and also cuteness.

Loved how Aoba and Nene were both worried about how the other was doing on their own after high school. Such a sweet friendship they have. :3

LMAO, i like that scene a lot xD especially when the director came in and was talking about to add another specs about showing panties. hidden specs more spesifically xD that was so funny xD

and last one, the relaxing bath if i'm not wrong. man....i want to feel that too. not only taking that kind of bath, after that, they just straight sleep on that place. must be relaxing....

This is so cute that I am going to die. Hifumin best girl!!!!

But I also like Hajime because she is my type of girl.

This show put me happy and in existential conflict. You know, the KoRin ship is bigger than Earth!

Hifumi got those perfect curves! yummy sexy!
Nene-chi found the hidden feature of the game! upskirt panchira!
So many yuri vibes between Kou & Rin, & Rin wants to be fed... how sweet!
Umiko top charts strictness! poor Nene-chi her workstation got closer and moved near Umiko because of herplaying around and divided attention between Aoba & her work!
5/5.

This show has an all-female cast and has me, a male, utterly captivated. I imagine a lot of men love this show, and that's remarkable. Not that I have any business critically viewing a Japanese cartoon through the lens of American feminism, but I'm doing just that. Ok.

But maybe it shouldn't be such a surprise that the show appeals to a general audience. After all, men love cute girls, and there are quite a few depictions of partially nude young women on this show. Also, this is a slice-of-life show set in the workplace, and some workplace themes are universal. Who can't identify with a character who has a nutty boss?

Still, this show is really something special. The characters are authentic and there are heartwarming scenes galore. All viewers, not just women, will identify with the characters, but the womanliness of the characters is still integral to the story. That's the ideal.

Oh boy, Hifumi treated us lucky viewers to some sweet fanservice of her in the shower! >v<

Other shows recently have a tendency to go overboard with their fanservice and can make it dull at times, but New Game has managed to keep it balanced and fresh. =)

Despite her constant scolding of Sakura, I'm sure Umiko has taken a liking to her quite a bit now. That could be another reason she moved Sakura to work next to her! =D

Great episode again, and with only 4 episodes left, I'm starting to wish that this show will have a second season someday.....

Well the manga is actually extremely popular in Japan, so there is a decent chance the anime will sell well, so their is probably a decent chance it might get a season two one day :)

Ah, the glorious bath episode.

Rin certainly isn't being subtle regarding her affection towards Kou... Not that I'm complaining, however. Plenty of Hajime moments as well, not to mention Umiko's grand theft loli. Aoba is also surprisingly mature, as always.

Nene really knows how to find them 'secrets'. I won't lie, I do that too when I play JRPGs.

Nice shower and bathing scenes. The scenes always animated so well.

Umiko's got a predators look when licking her lips. Is she after Nene?!

Aoba wasn't really featured that much in this episode, all the characters got about equal screen time. I don't mind because it's a great cast, I don't think there is any character I dislike which is rare for a group this large. And so many yuri ships are sailing around. Great show.

I agree. I don't think Umiko moved Nenecchi closer to her desk to make sure she keeps busy, but, rather, because she likes her company. They make a good pair =)


In the manga it's clear that she moved Nene next to her simply because she was screwing around too much, IIRC.
____________

Anyway, this episode is completely anime-original. However, it does reveal some of Aoba's backstory, which was only fleshed out in volume 5 of the manga.

I'm sure she just wants to make sure that Nene is wearing her pantsu. That might require a physical inspection.

I have to agree on this one. Pretty sweet. And here I thought making congee for for the poorly is just a Chinese tradition - never even realized the Japanese eat it too... s this pairing is pretty much canon now, but it looks like they'll be pairing off others too (Umiko x Nenechi, Aoi x Hifumi not quite there yet).

Ahahaha Nenechi glitching the camera. The managers are off having yuri and heart felt moments, so the girls are messing around more. Also bath scene fan service and some much deserved Hifumi. She doesn't do much, so just her being a little active is nice.

I dig those RinKou vibes. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already a thing and they just aren't saying so-- cause that happens too sometimes. Maybe not though. We can pretend. We can at least assume there's some type of romantic interest there even if it's one-sided; I don't know too many people who want someone else to feed them like that while blushing pretty much. And she wasn't that sick.

Also great as this episode, wish it could last a infinite this anime series. Narrative construction from all points of view, graphically is great, animations worthy of such beauty. I want more!
Heck ! I did not think Umiko became so present in the narrative, his friendship with Nenecchi, is becoming more and more solid, LOL.

I really enjoyed this episode a lot. There were some good moments I really liked. The dandy references that Hajime, Yun, and even Nene quoted were really funny and it was very good. I felt bad that Rin got sick during one of the important times they need to finish developing their game but at least Kogami was there to take care of her. They sure do have good chemistry together and when Kogami was feeding Rin food I thought it was really sweet of her to do that. I noticed when Nene was talking to Umiko about how she and Aoba used to go the same art college but Aoba had wanted to pursue her dreams to work full-time was really something. Nene was probably inspired by how Aoba had wanted to do something that she enjoys doing and has fun with it. Umiko was probably impressed to see how Nene had been friends with Aoba for a long time.

Second half of the episode was enjoyable. I'm not into fanservice a lot these days but I think they did pretty well on keeping it at a balance that I'm OK with so far. The girls enjoying themselves at the bathhouse was really nice to see. I will agree that Hifumi is getting to be more of a character that I love to see her interacting with everyone and plus she's has an attractive body as well. Hehe. Same thing goes to Hajime with her too.

It's too bad that Kogami got sick along with Rin so that puts pressure on the team to do what they can to finish developing the game. I never would have thought that Umiko wanted Nene to sit next to her near the end cause I think Umiko was kind of happy that she has someone she can work with side by side but also becoming good friends with her too.

Well, I'm looking forward to the next episode! :)

If you have to pull an all nighter, stopping by the public bath before going home definitely makes it better!! Glad Nene is getting used to her job too, she seems to be really childish for a college student though I guess that's her character.

I lol'd at Nenecchi watching the villager's white pantsu (I confess I've done this on several video games, too).

Looks like the show keeps shipping Yagami and Rin. So cute! >////< I approve.

I didn't know there are open onsen at 2AM, even if they're expensive. The more you know. (We also got some fanservice. omg Hifumi looked amazing! Best girl! I want to see her cosplaying.)

Looks like people around here doesn't really like Nenecchi being annoying. At least she keeps being punished by Umiko from time to time. Direct supervision from now on! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mwahaha

Nene finding the panty shots.../r/me_irl. I'm a bit surprised they had to adjust their whole schedule to work this "feature" in, yet at the same time there's the issue of what would happen if they didn't. Underwearless characters, lewd chaos, Japanese censorship law, recalls...

Kou and Rin were definitely having a yuribait-riffic time off together sick. The hot springs gave some nice Hajime fanservice.

Nene's sitting next to Umiko now because she's a bad girl who can't stay focused :3 Seems like Umiko's getting a kick out of it, though...

This is what I call fanservice at its very best. Hifumi has the best body out of all 4, but I think Hajime doesn't get the same focus.

Umiko enslaved a loli in his desk, not that Nenecchi deserved it, but she was wandering too much all over the place and considering that she does a really good work debugging (and searching for panties shots too), Nene just needs a bit of discipline. I also felt that Umiko got a bit jealous that Aoba and Nene are extremely close friends.
