The 2016 anime movie, New Game!, is a delightful slice-of-life comedy that follows the adventures of Aoba Suzukaze, a young woman who joins the game development team at Eagle Jump. While the movie is mostly lighthearted and humorous, it does contain some surprisingly mature moments.
One of the most prominent sexual moments in the movie occurs when Aoba and her co-worker, Rin, are discussing the game they are developing. Rin suggests that they add a “sexy” element to the game, and Aoba is initially taken aback by the suggestion. However, she eventually agrees, and the two of them brainstorm ideas for the game’s sexy content. This scene is surprisingly frank and mature for an anime movie, and it shows that the creators of New Game! are not afraid to tackle more mature topics.
Another sexual moment in the movie occurs when Aoba and her co-worker, Hifumi, are discussing the game’s character designs. Hifumi suggests that they make the female characters more “sexy”, and Aoba is again taken aback by the suggestion. However, she eventually agrees, and the two of them brainstorm ideas for the game’s sexy character designs. This scene is also surprisingly frank and mature for an anime movie, and it shows that the creators of New Game! are not afraid to tackle more mature topics.
Overall, New Game! is a delightful slice-of-life comedy that contains some surprisingly mature moments. While the movie is mostly lighthearted and humorous, it does contain some surprisingly frank and mature scenes that tackle topics such as sex and sexuality. These scenes show that the creators of New Game! are not afraid to tackle more mature topics, and they make the movie all the more enjoyable.
In one episode, we see Rin Toyama laying on top of Kou Yagami, both wearing panties, as Aoba walks into the room. Rin and Aoba both freak out from this. Mostly played for comedic purposes.
There is frequent mild fanservice and occasional mild sexual innuendo.
One character is recurringly caught sleeping in her underwear while at work; the camera occasionally gives us voyeuristic close-ups on her panty-clad rear, but for the most part these moments are played for laughs rather than titillation.
Some brief references to breast size, usually referring to girls being jealous that other girls' breasts are bigger or smaller than their own.
One episode has the characters go to a bathhouse; parts of their (non-detailed) breasts/buttocks can be seen as they bathe.
