New Game! - Recommendations

illusorum says...

It is somewhat similar. Its about making anime, which is similar to making games. Its more realistic in the age and their looks, unlike aoba who is 18 with a 13 year old body.

Hantajira says...

Work place setting, and following their dreams. The two stories mirror the struggles of production and creation.

Although Shirobako is mainly focused on anime creation and New Game on videogame creation, they both let you in on how the industry, works. New game being more of a cute comedy and shirobako a more acurate like portrayal. The atmosphere of teamwork in both is what makes them similar in my view.

DGFischer says...

The idea that teamwork drives both anime and video game development. The party at the end of each series gave a moment to ponder how complex the process can be.

Cute anime girls doing their absolute best at their new jobs? New Game is more pink moe, but they're both so heartwarming that I can't even.

JailBait707 says...

Both New Game and Shirobako have a workplace setting, whilst one is about making a game the other is about making an anime. They both have an enjoyable cast and you'll also learn about the production of said projects and watch them struggle with it.

Both shows are about girls that go out into the workplace world to follow their dreams. Seiyuu's Life takes a look at voice acting, where New Game is about making video games. Both are perfect matches if you like girls learning the ropes at their new jobs!

Valdius says...

These series have the same general feel and content type, simply covering two differing careers. Seiyuu Life! is, perhaps, a bit more detail oriented and New Game! a bit more character-oriented. Even so, they are fairly parallel works and if you like one, you'll almost certainly enjoy the other. 

DanDoubleL says...

Both series offer a pleasant workplace comedy focussed around characters truly passionate about their respective creative fields. Both offer some insight into their respective subject industries. New Game is heavier on the comedy and character interactions and boasts stronger animation, while Seiyuu's Life offers a deeper comprehensive look into the anime voice-acting industry than New Game does the video game industry.

Hantajira says...

Working life in the entertainment industry. Similarities are young women in the entertainment industry, and the ups and downs in their fields. Both are light-hearted views and often leave me with a smile

Hantajira says...

Cute girls making games. Stella no Mahou focuses on a club in high school that makes video games. New Game! is after high school. the two aren't related. 

Both are a lot of fun while lightly touching on the trials of making a video game.

YuiYui says...

Another cute girls doing cute things anime in which the cute moe girls create games in order to build up popularity of the club/company and so on. These two shows are really similar in how they present themselves and the elements that are in them. The main diffrerence is where both are set, one in a workplace whereas the other in the generic high school. I would say if you liked one of these anime then you should like the other.

innrvoice says...

If you want to watch anime about hard working people pursuing their dream then New Game! & Saekano is a good choice. New Game is more about working in a professional company and Saekano is an amateur adventure. Either way, its fun to watch any of them. 

Littlesilverwolf says...

Both anime are about making games.

Saekano is a story about a boy make a game with 4 girls in a club.

New game is a story about girls in a company making game. (Characters all girls)

bolokun says...

Both serieses have a similar premise, bota are simply about the interactions of super cute girls, with some funny scenes and absolutely no mach of a bigger story. The differecne is that GB beta fails in it's premise miserably and here comes New Game which does it right :)

Riri365 says...

Both animes (I linked season 3 of Working but please start with season 1 :P ) are great slice-of-lifes and are full of fun! Popura-chan is 'like' Aoba in that they are both trying to be responsible 'adults' despite their looks. There are more characters in Working, which is also longer and gives more attention to character development (which is fair given that it is a few seasons longer). 

The art is done well in both and whilst Working has some under-the-table/developing romance lines (more explicitly than Kou and Rin), both are light animes that bring great joy! ^.^

aimeebrooke says...

Chiyo Mihama begins her high school career as one of the strangest students in her freshman class—a tiny, 10-year-old academic prodigy with a fondness for plush dolls and homemade cooking. But her homeroom teacher, Yukari Tanizaki, is the kind of person who would hijack a student's bike to avoid being late, so "strange" is a relative word.

Chiifox says...

One anime is a romance comedy about a manga artist and a schoolgirl and the other is about being a new employee at a video game company - but they are actually somewhat similar. Each display the overall process of making a manga volume/video game, they are both lighthearted anime and each have their fair share of laughter - and even though Nozaki-kun does have a romance anime tag you really don't need to worry about it until the end of the show.

Gavia says...

Both are the type of comedy slice-of-life shows were a lot of the scenes are just the cute girls sitting around and talking, with nerdy themes on the side. If you like one, you should definitely give the other a chance.

alp2va says...

Frome style to themes to characters to humor, these two are essentially the same show just in different settings. If you liked one, give the other a shot.
