so let me get this straight a high
school graduate can get a job in Japan
from a gaming studio and spend their
first month getting paid to learn how to
use 3ds Max and Maya what kind of
qualifications do you need because I
would be so in for that one of the
problems I have with both talking about
and recommending anything attached to
the slice-of-life genre is that for the
most part you should kind of know what
you're getting yourself into beforehand
since a lot of the time it can be
somewhat repetitive many people have
different definitions of slice-of-life
but for me a slice-of-life anime is a
show that follows the point of view of
the main character as they live they're
usually normal life this definition if
you use it can technically bring about a
large variety of different shows
depending on other genres that this show
belongs to but any combination of genres
with slice-of-life brings with it the
certain formulaic standard romance slice
of life will usually feel like Clannad
toward or in an Ohana and they won't
make you cry slice of life and fantasy
will bring you things a little more
serene like mushishi Natsume ujin show
and Aria the animation and slice of life
with comedy will usually contain some
seemingly normal setting where zany
character archetypes can collide in
entertaining ways like in GTO say whose
life and now new game new game as an
anime doesn't necessarily offer anything
new its settings that of a fairly
successful video game studio with a
rookie character designer who just got
hired on and we follow her exploits she
has a variety of less than normal
co-workers who all have varying
personalities that are able to magically
coexist with one another and the
progression of any sort of plot is
sidelined for more episodic kind of
storytelling
this sort of setup has been around for a
while but instead of a video game studio
it was a high school music club or
family restaurant it's hard to recommend
this kind of show without just going
ahead and saying that if you like those
you like this if you didn't like those
well this probably won't change your
mind so a part of me my review apart
let's say just wants to mention that
this show kind of follows the formula
Tootsie and leave it at that but I can't
because if I did that it would sound
like I am NOT enjoying this series and I
very much am maybe because it's aligning
with that
one part of my personality where I
dislike change where I don't like to
challenge my comfort zone very much so
watching an anime that doesn't
necessarily challenge the status quo is
very comforting to me I don't know
sure there are things about the series
that could have been done better
potentially like our main character Alba
is a newbie character designer and
that's cool but we never really learn
how that works at all what I'd like to
see out of any slice of life in a
setting that I am personally unfamiliar
with is more details into what this
person actually does in those various
positions we know very little about how
Alba does her job just that she does it
usually multiple times this might be
more a problem with the source material
though as the series is indeed based on
a form of manga and there's only so much
detail that you can fit into four panels
on top of which like I alluded to in the
opening I am quite sure that the very
premise of the series might actually
annoy people who know the ins and outs
of the video gaming industry is getting
hired out of high school to do character
work is probably very unlikely so would
I say that new game is worth watching
yes but only if this is the kind of show
that you already enjoy it's not
something that's going to change your
mind about shows that consist of cute
girls doing cute things but there are
times with it that it does go beyond
just making gags there are there are
little moments in the couple of episodes
that we've had so far that just have a
lot more just looking at how these
characters came to be a lot more just
kind of introspection on itself than I
expected and those little things make up
for so much so I personally enjoy the
show and I'm going to continue watching
it myself but I know how people feel
around this kind of show it's not one
that I would force people to watch nor
be flabbergasted when they say that they
aren't watching it but what did you guys
think let me know down in the bunch of a
jig and even though it's a comedy series
based on poor coma manga and there's not
much to spoil anyway just try not to
might as well keep that no spoiler thing
present so that no one thinks that under
any circumstances I would be okay with
it
at the time of this video new game is
available for streaming on crunchyroll
if you happen to have access to it but
it is not been officially licensed at
this time for home video yet link in the
description is usual for a free trial
front real premium services which will
be
necessary you want to watch new game or
any other airing anime that they offer
as new episodes are released thank you
for joining me on this first reaction if
you like this sort of thing it's a like
button to let me know and if you have a
suggestion before you think I should
talk about next let me know down in the
comments though chances are I'm going to
be doing it anyway and until next time
ladies gentlemen and others stay across
