Doga kobo sequels8/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Kawai Complex is a funny, heartwarming slice-of-life anime that follows the members of the titular Kawai Complex. This one was a lost cause as soon as it was announced that Brains’ Base was animating it - they don’t do sequels, generally. Those who aren’t as affectionate for the genre might like it for the art, but overall I feel this is one for those into these kind of shows.The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behaviour It’s not the bets ever but it’s entertaining. New Game! is made to appeal to a more otaku type audience but I feel it can be enjoyed by anyone who likes a good cute girl show.

The ecchi is put in the show naturally and all of these themes work together in the overall vibe. Aoba feels great affection towards Yagami as well, but more in an admiration sense.

There is not a strong narrative, but everything leads to something and there is some form of emotional pay-off in the end. The majority of the series is set in Eagle Jump’s office, the characters going over various struggles with the creation of the game, with the end goal of a finished product. Most of the episodes focus on pretty minor day to day subjects and it’s a pretty chill environment. Rather then provide you with “insider” info, New Game! focuses on creating a comfy setting.
