Play It Cool Guys is a true comfort show to me. Like a warm and cozy blanket I feel at home. Iyashikei anime also known as shows that focus on healing the audience are amongst some of my favorites. Play It Cool Guys goes a step further by introducing us to a bunch of cute guys of varying ages that are just super clumsy in their own way. And let me tell you that every one of their interactions with each other is truly entertaining to watch. In fact I dont have a favorite amongst the boys because theyre all so special in their own way. This may sound like a reach but in a way this is similar to the found family trope to me. The boys feel supported and happy while theyre together. They motivate each other do fun stuff together and have good conversations. Even when another person is added to the group later on everything remains the same. It feels like theyve known each other for years their bond is beautiful to watch. Theyre truly themselves while together. The show also excels at both the funny moments and the more serious moments. It discuses expectations for the future living in the moment and what a certain friendship means to you. https://64.media.tumblr.com/3c5ff00c8b76e279af975a4ec35d7954/2bb76b1db52f8dae2e/s540x810/40ed6de077c5938006fe1afba30c9cf6f615941a.gif Theres definitely more to this show than the amazing characters. The studio behind it also invested much time and effort into bringing these characters to life and provided the show with a warm and sincere atmosphere. Im honestly really surprised as I was not sure if they were going to nail it but they sure did The color palette is comforting and the soundtrack is tranquil. Both OPs and EDs are amazing and tell a story in their own way. Furthermore the animation is smooth and the comedic timing is well done. All in all a feast for the eyes https://picbstarstatic.akamaized.net/ugc/6045ff1bac058553af1d0dabde05fc6b.jpg The episodes are quite short youll feel sad once they are over. While mostly episodic in nature I would say that theres still a cohesive plot going on and different episodes are interconnected. I was truly NEVER bored. To be honest Im sad while writing this. Having been watching this show since October 2022 and it suddenly being over is making me feel melancholic. Thats how much I loved Play It Cool Guys. I think this show will entertain many different people so if youre in need of something comforting and relaxing please give it a try. As for me Im going to miss my boys tremendously. Im planning to read the manga to fill the void https://pbs.tw.com/media/FkuTJloWIAAQTaK.jpg:large
