THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First episode is online now ahead of the TV airing. It streamed from AbemaTV today.

It's really nice to see everyone back again. We have Nene and Umiko having some ice cream together which I thought was cute. The project "Nene Quest" also was discussed. As expected, Umiko still has her airsoft guns that she brings to work.

Episode ended with a picnic and damn, these girls really know how to enjoy life. Nice episode, hopefully we'll see the OP/ED theme song for the TV premiere.

I loved the part where Nene and Umiko were feeding ice cream to each other.

A pretty good first episode.
They showed us where all the characters are at this point in time to set the tone for the show.

Nene and Umiko seem to have formed a somewhat strong relationship.

The sense of achieving something that this show provides when the characters finally finish making a game is pretty good.
This season is going to be another breezy ride.

Kinda surprised to get the episode so early tbh, but well, I won't complain.

That was a nice start, lol at Aoba beeing disappointed that she didn't become a senpai this year.

We also got the usual Yagami fanservice, and yuri vibe from her and Tooyama, overall it felt like always.

Liked the song at the end, wonder if that was the opening or ending.

So glad to have this back, lovely start to the season.

Too bad Aoba, gotta wait till next year before you become senpai. xD

Those pantsu shots of Ko-chan, just like Aoba I'm used to it as well. XD

Hifumi is as adorable as ever, I love how Hazuki is taking picture of her reactions. <3

Nenechi meeting Umiko was really funny.

I said it back in S1 but I seriously love the detail put into the development tools in this show, the detail on the color coding of Visual Studio, the actual source code and the god-forbid runtime error were great. I actually paused the episode to see what she had written. XD
For anyone wondering what the error actually was, it looks like she put the Destroy function inside the damage loop, so the game ended up trying to delete an object it had already deleted before, thereby causing the assertion error.
I personally loved what Nenechi said about Programming and how it gives life to the game. :)

The feedback session was gold, Aoba asking the real questions about why the company is female only. XDD
Hifumi is being offered the position of Lead Character Designer, Nice.
Rin is so adorable when it comes to dealing with anything relating to Ko. <3

The picnic at the end was really nice, Rin pouting was so much win.
Looks like there's a character design competition to select the lead characters and designer for the new game project, guess they decided to go with this since Hifumi didn't give them an answer?
Anyway, Looking forward to the next episode.

Honestly I don't think shows should be rated at all while they're airing really, or at least make a "preliminary" score system like some reviews are marked as, it has been proven time and time again that a lot of things can be unexpectedly great or end up as train wrecks, not saying it's the case with New Game by the way, I think this is the sort of show that the quality / viewing experience is pretty consistent throughout it's air time but I meant it as a more general rule of thumb, it would also influence people to rate shows again after they're finished which I think would impact scores by a significant margin in most cases

Great episode first up to begin off Season 2. Wonderful to see all the characters back together and then going off for a picnic and the comedy of the anime right on the spot. Animation of the show is also as captivating as ever. Hopefully, we will get to see the Op/Ed with the TV premiere. A definite 8/10 for me so far...

You and me both buddy. Umiko x Nenechi hadn't really occurred to me during S1 a whole lot, but this episode nearly sold me on it already. Then we have
Ko x Aoba which has been a consistent shipping for me, but also a guilty one because I don't want poor Rin and Hifumi to be alone.

Oh my. We're back again, and it's already just as good as it was before!
Loved how they did a year end review on what they'd learned for the past year, and it was fun to see all the changes in both the staff and with Nene as well after what they'd experienced in season 1. A bit worried about how Yun was acting in the assessment though, just hope it's not some foreshadowing of her leaving the team. Rin's subconscious reasons for never hiring men was too funny.

Looking forward to Aoba's progress, what with her new found target of becoming a head designer.

I don't think she is ready, and I was surprised they offered it to her. A person in that position has to have good communication skills and the resolve to give honest feedback to others. She definately lacks the communication skills, and I never saw any of the peers on the design team (that is, anyone outside of Kou, and occasionally Umiko from the programmer's side) give feedback. I'm not saying that they didn't do peer code/design reviews - I just don't recall if they showed us doing any of that, so it makes me wonder.

The subtitles I saw definitely were 'rough', but I don't think they were terrible. I've seen much worse.

Yay it's back! Seems like they'll take an even more fanservice-y route this season, though :/

Man, the subs I watched really sucked, so it probably would've been more enjoyable had I waited for subs that actually made sense. Ah well, I got the gist of it.

God, the subs were fucking terrible. Even a stupid ass 2nd grader from some shitty third world country has better grammar than these dickfucks fansubber. I had to stop after 2 minutes because I couldn't enjoy this show properly with those garbage subs.

I already read the manga anyway so I know what's going to happen.

4/5- Yay! My favorite girls from the Summer 16 lineup is back! Behind Owarimonogatari, this was my most anticipated show of the season. Super stoked to see these girls on a weekly basis again.

Hifumi was uber adorable this episode and smiled a lot more often than she normally does! Glad to see her making a goal to overcome her social phobia. I'm rooting for her.

So nice to see that Umiko and Nene actually hang out too. Behind RinxKou (4EVER) the chemistry between Umiko and Nene is the most fun. It was also nice to see more of Shizuku this episode.

It looks like Aoba has a chance to finally become a character designer like Kou. I'm excited to see her chase her dreams this season. Hopefully she wins this competition.

The new OP song is pretty good though I like last year's better. Also the person re-release the episode with better subs because the "first one was a joke". Kinda stupid but oh well, I'll still watch the CR version anyways.

I loved the episode, Ko X Rin in my opinion is a better ship than Aoba x Ko. It just Rin is so adorable (Kayanon did a good job). The Umiko x Nenecchi really didn't really stand out until now but overall it was a good episode. Visuals were really nice.

EXACTLY, man. I've been trying to avoid these Ko x Aoba thoughts for so long. Probably my guiltiest feelings for any pairing in any series.

I have to return to the Ko x Rin bookmarks to keep myself grounded as if I'm taking medication. I can't forsake this beautiful married couple.





Plus I want my pure hedgehog-loving angel Hifumi to be happy.

Yes same, Rin and Ko are just wonderful together, and Hifumi is too pure to be left alone, she needs the hedgehog look-alike Aoba to stay by her side.

I thank you for the nice pics~

I just saw it as it was finally uploaded to kissanime today, but the subs they used were total shit. They were so bad that I was able to follow the story of the episode through common sense, but most of the jokes totally fell flat, the ending made no sense, and it was a headache to watch. Can someone please explain how the episode ended (and also another source for the show just in case kissanime screws up episode 2 too)

New Game is back for its second season and the first episode was very good. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed watching season 1 back last summer. =)

The visuals remain very colourful and detailed and the characters interactions were fantastic as usual, mainly between Umiko x Nene and Ko x Rin.

The only downside was the subs, which were pretty messy and lol worthy at times. I'll be happy to rewatch this episode when the Crunchyroll subs comes out for it.

I do agree that the role itself requires good communication skills and some leadership qualities but considering that Hifumi herself said she wanted to overcome her social shyness, offering her the position might actually be a really good way to do it. That might be the reasoning behind them offering her the job.
