| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I have to admit, the OP song is catchy for this anime. Miki and Aya has a friendly character chemistry that I find appealing. I think the show sells its ideas well for its first episode with the introduction off the board games. Seems there's plenty of variety in that store they went to. There's some colorful creativity that went into this show and I'm looking forward to more :D |
 |
| I'm interested in the subject matter but the execution of this show irritates me a lot. Again, we have the trite and generic pair of an energetic airhead and a timid shy. But unlike Yuru Camp (which was great), the shy one is completely devoid of positive personality. It is designed to be a pathetic person who doesn't have her own world so that the show can push her around to do anything it wants her to get involved into as a self-insert placeholder for the viewer. Seriously, I'm not exactly shy myself but I did spend a lot of time alone during high school, because I know how to discover my own world through books and internet. An introvert is not necessarily an empty person who is just waiting something to happen to her. That completely bland introvert trope in anime has to end. Burst into tears just because you're losing in a game you hardly even cared just a minute ago? That's not shy. That's simply pathetic. I know people who has no life exist, but they're not interesting people and there are much more interesting stories can be told about other type of interesting people. Also, I don't like how preachy the show is. Who needs to be told that you may discover new things if you take risk and be adventurous? I would be much more sympathetic to the heroine if she were 6 years old instead of 16 yo. How about showing us some more strategic gameplay rather than some cheesy moral lessons? |
 |
| This entire show will make me relive so many of my own gaming memories. Tons of familiar game names on these shelves already~ And if future episodes are similarly composed, the people who are just in it for the cute-girls-doing-cute-things will still get the majority of attention, and the board gaming will be a nice extra especially to those who are interested in the hobby. |
| For a first episode it was really good, I think I will like this nice little show |
| Girls are really cute, I love aya the most, looking forward for this series :D |

| That was a cute episode, the concept looks cool and promising, the characters too. |
 |
| Oh cool, they're actually showing real board games. I hope some of my fav board games will appear! |
 |
| Aww Miki and her kyoto accent is really cute. Aya is a really sweet girl and Midori is tsundere I guess. Well from the looks of it this is gonna be a fun to watch series. |
 |
| It seems like a cute show. I'm liking the characters so far. I would love to see what type of board games they will play in future episodes. |
 |
| Okay first episode. Ono and the Manager are my favorites so far but there a long way to go. |

| I think it's cool that they're actually using real games for this. Like not just the ones they're seemingly playing in the show but all the ones in the store are definitely real. It's kinda fun just seeing how many you recognize, have played yourself or even own :p |
  |
| Cute girls. Liking the accents too. Though the entire time, I was constantly curious if she still had panties on or not. They never brought it back up. |
| I'm not really interested in board games, but I guess playing them can be fun. I gave this this out for the rather unique premise and first episode was pretty ok. |

| A fun and cute episode, the board game was quite interesting too. Gotta be honest though, I'm gonna keep watching this 99% because the shop owner is voiced by Kazuma Kiryu. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| fun episode =D accents are always fun to listen to also, Aya best girl |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Great start so far, seems like a really fun show. The soundtrack is top tier, the girls are cute especially Aya and it's fun to watch. The manager is amusing. Some real Kiryu vibes too. xD Who is Aya's seiyuu? Edit: Is it Marika Kouno? |

| Yeah no this is boring as hell. No ammount of real board games fanservice can save it. |
| This is going to be the underrated gem of the season I already know, this is so wholesome and adorable. Great OP and ED and a genuinely intellectually stimulating plot. I'll have to pick up the manga next week |
 |
| This is actually pretty bad, it felt like I was watching Dora the Explorer. Too much idiocy and they act like the audience are a bunch of little children. |
| I really love tabletop games as well, so I hope the show continues to maintain this level of charm. I know it's not for everyone, and some people might be put off by how un-blobbish the characters are, but I think the writing makes up for it. The characters are a little nuanced and it seems like the writers are passionate about games as well. |
| Aaww I love it! The art is beautiful ngl It's really just them playing board games, plus the developing character and friendship of the girls I guess But idk I really like it! Seeing Zicke Zacke Hühnerkacke brought back memories. I always used to play this with friends back in elementary school ^^ And if the games there are focused on european games I hope I will get such nostalgia moments more often I also enjoy seeing how the introvert gets dragged out of her comfort zone. I really enjoy this Looking forward to next week Btw I really like the VA for Miki. Mal didn't put up the character list yet, I sure hope they do soon, but I just love her soft voice with the kyoko accent |

| The manager is Umibouzu' lost brother. |
 |
| An anime about tabletop gaming? Wow. They really do make anime about everything and anything. |
| Not bad but also not good yet. I skipped first 15 minutes because the introduction scene is boring to me. But at last I amused. So many boardgame that I haven't played in my childhood. So, this show make me to watch it again. |
| Well, this was certainly a fun and compelling watch! I'm not well-versed with board games in general but that game seemed really fun, I'd love to try that someday! Lol @ that manager though, who would've thought he'd be into board games? Nice little pretend-lost contest there, this trio seems like a really fun bunch and I'm definitely up for more! Some really nice production quality from LIDENFILMS too, great to see! |

| This is so cool because I'm from Europe and I recognized some of the boards games in the OP also Marrakech! Definitly gonna continue it's also a relaxing anime, not too serious and underrated animes are always the best. Maybe hidden gem of the season so far. |
| This episode was relaxing to watch. If the quality remains similar throughout the series then this might be able to rival some good iyashikei shows. |
 |
| Well that was relaxing! Not much of a board games fan but I did read about Marrakech in a magazine way back and its cool to see it here. So uh did the twintail girl spend like most of the ep going commando |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| This was sweet and a lot of fun, not sure whats up with the low score |

| AOTS front runner |
| "My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well being of this Island" |
| "We're not lost because we don't have a destination." That's a big brain thinking right there. |
| Relaxing fun first episode. I had a feeling I would like Miki somehow when I saw the front cover for the first time and once again my keen eye didn't dissapointed me. |
| Sorry, due to licensing limitations, this message is unavailable in your region. Please come drink tea, eat cake and procrastinate at the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things Club. We have simulwatches! \o/  |
| Can I expect more board game will be introduced along the season ? This could be like High Score Girl and their retro game. Some of my friends at the office love collecting board games, and maybe if there is something new appear from this anime, I can show it to them. Cool first episode, waiting for next week. |
| This bored me like hell, not even Tomita Miyu and Marika Kuono can keep me invested enough for this. Dropped. |
