However, season two will have Sumie Kinoshita as the new chief animation director while Yuka Itou will be joining in as a color key artist.
New Game! first aired in July of 2016 and completed its 12-episode run by September. A “13th episode” OVA was provided to those who purchased all six Blu-ray or DVD discs and presented proof-of-purchase stubs.
Inspired by a manga of the same name, “New Game!” follows the work life of Aoba Suzukaze who joined a game company after graduating from high school. Here, she learns the ins and outs of the game development industry with her new workmates and boss, who happens to be a game developer she admires.
