The second season of New Game! is much better than the first season.
With the characters established, they can now grow and become fleshed out. The ever calm and sloppy Kou Yagami now lets her cracks in her personality show. Aoba is determined but now shows more responsibility and frailty. Yun shows her kinder side and lets herself breathe more. Hifumi is started to grow into someone people can rely on and talk to. Hajime was perfect since episode 1 so. Still perfect here. No Bias. Just Facts.
The Second Season focuses on a new game being developed and how the team tackle the new project. Once again, it will not explain more than what you need to know about game design in order to follow the characters. They talk about things like "I need you to program this code for a mini game" and then the character does it. They don't start trying to teach you C++ Programming Script. Good. This would never work other wise, trust me.
There are some new hires and a continuation of Nene's story. All wrapped into 12 episodes. I binged this and was kinda sad when I realized I finished it. It is a solid anime about an all girls game development team with light lesbian notions. You will see what I mean.
Story: 9 - a vast improvement over season 1.
Art: 10 - I loved the visuals and how the designs of the characters for the game once again made me want to play a game that does not exist.
Sound: 10 - Banger OP and a good OST. What is not to love? Even the ED bops.
Character: 8 - Some of the characters here are improvements and the new ones introduced are ok. However, the dense bubbly loud outgoing athletic and perfect Hajime just makes the others feel lacking. Jokes aside, they are all improvement of the Season 1 selves.
Enjoyments: This was a great anime and I got legit sad during a certain moment. It is great.
Overall: Just watch it. If I haven't sold you yet then watch it anyway.
