Play it Cool, Guys (2022–2023) User Reviews

Short and Sweet

[talking_about_movies · 8/10 · 28 March 2023]

This is a very easygoing, relatable, and comfortable anime with likeable characters and a very relaxing vibe. And it's runtime of 10 minutes per episode, proves that it knows exactly what it is and it doesn't try to be anything more.

After the first few episodes I thought it was fine, but once I got the gist of it, I really started liking it and it was like a little pick-me-up every monday.

The author uses certain characters to give these very short and easy messages and that's all I hoped for from this anime.

This is my favourite slice of life since "Yakuza's guide to babysitting".

I'd recommend watching this anime in long durations, because it might get boring or redundant if you binge it.

Love It

This anime is so calming, it makes me want to be more chill. Episodes last approximately 10 minutes & themes are simple modern-life topics or everyday occurrences, and yet the way they are composed is brilliant & relatable. I feel like I am learning a lot too, I have rated this anime 10 stars. The show seems too short for something so valuable, I wonder if there will be more seasons or episodes. I do hope so! Usually, I watch fantasy, comedy, or fictional series & so this is a new genre for me. It has no brutality of combat, nor is it in its entirety focused on humor, but it is also not drama either. Amazing.

comfort show

This show is always so fun to watch it is very adorable and funny. I have found it helps me to get over my embarrassment from stupid mistakes. The characters are well developed, and quite relatable. They also span a larger age range than average. The show bridges the gaps between high school, university, and a career. It has the feel of an episode-per-story anime but the episodes connect together smoothly into the whole story. The animation and soundtrack are both quite good, as well as the voice actors. My only complaint is how short the episodes are. I don't usually watch slice of life, but I am thoroughly enjoying this one.

A fantastic "comforting" watch

I saw this pop up on crunchyroll and after reading the description I laughed and figured why not give it a shot. A few hours later, and here I am writing a 10/10 review for this show that I am now fully caught up on. This show is fantastic!! They do a great job of developing the characters and conveying meaningful messages in each episode.

The show isn't strictly focused on comedy, nor drama, nor any one thing too much. It's an extremely unique watch! I enjoyed watching every episode, and although it was quick to catch up - I really do wish the episodes were longer. The way the characters teach other and appreciate what each individual brings to the table is so cool and also heartwarming. This show just consistently made me feel good while watching it. I feel like I was smiling for 90% of the time I spent watching.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new show, regardless of what your typical genres are.

So comforting

[fudotpammy · 10/10 · 19 December 2023]

It's a lighthearted, soft, heart warming, comfort type of show. I loved watching it! Hope they could make more anime like this. Watching it healed me. Though it's lighthearted, it actually made me ponder and reflect a lot on my relationships with my friends and how I handle awkward and embarrassing situations. I would usually get upset if someone points out a mistake I made, this anime made me think that maybe i should play it cool like them when something happens like that again. Not only is it a positive way of approaching things, but it also uplifts my mood! Also, I love the characters of Souma and Mima, who are both designers. They gave me lots of ideas as an aspiring designer myself. Overall, a 10/10 great anime.

I'm feeling way better!

I decided to watch 2 episodes during breakfast and now I'm running late :))) nice and smooth storyline with funny characters! This is type of animes that makes you laugh without any offense to anyone, you know, not insulting or anything, they do mistakes but it's all funny, i can't stop smiling and giggling here and there :)))) i've been facing difficulties for some time, but as i watched characters (shu-kun to be exact:)) it was like i woke up from a bad dream:)) this may sound a little unrealistic! But i realize there is so much to smile at, despite how stupid it looks, and that i don't have to hide my laugh. These boys are so fun, and the way story brought them together as friends😆 i wish i could be like Mima-san when i reach that age! Special thanks for all of the people involved in making this series :*
