Also Knowns As: Play It Cool, Guys

Rating

★★★

Drama digest

Souma Shiki, Hayate Ichikura, Shun Futami, and Takayuki Mima have different personalities but have one thing in common. Though naturally clumsy, four disguise their humiliation from tiny slip-ups by retaining a composed demeanor. It was a guy’s airheaded nature that made the girl’s hearts throb. Despite the things happening in their daily lives, they try to do their best not to lose their cool.

The feel-good part

The anime was a bunch of likable characters doing awkward things. The humor in this show was enjoyable. The things they did were super relatable. It was a sit-back and a fun show. The animation was pretty and fluid. The voice dubbing was great.

The disappointing factor

The moments were not mesmerizing; they felt like an okay joke. The voice dubbing was annoying at few moments.

In-depth analysis  

The animation and colors of the anime were good. The story was cute and can make you fall in love with the character’s personalities. It was a cute slice-of-life show. The comic part was done amazingly in the front. The anime was made to make it feel authentic and sensible. It felt like a story that was wrapped up in a theme. If you can vibe with the anime, it will be an excellent show to watch. The anime was light-hearted and didn’t deal with serious things. For people, it may feel like the plot is stupid, but it is light-hearted comedy with no severe theme. There were situations that made the boys look dumb, but it was entertaining.

Star power

The visuals were fantastic and enjoyable. The animations matched the manga well. The anime did justice with voice acting.

Overall opinion

It was a light-hearted anime focusing on clumsy boys and their everyday lives. If you want to watch something easy and binge-able, then this one is for you.
