NEW AME is a four-panel comic currently being serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat. It is a manga about the daily working life of the game production company Eagle Jump, depicting what goes on behind the scenes in game production. The manga is mostly made up of young female employees, making it a bright manga that dispels the dark image of the work. Due to the popularity of the original work, it was first broadcast as an anime in the summer of 2016 and ran for one season. The anime also attracted attention, with a second season being broadcast as an anime the following summer. In this article, we will introduce some famous quotes that appear in this popular work.
10th place "Panties~!?"

This is the famous line that Aoba said when he first met Yagami when he first went to work at Eagle Jump, a game production company! Yagami Kou only goes home about once every two days and stays at the company while working. And when he goes to bed, he sleeps in his panties, which is probably Yagami's habit. Aoba said this in surprise when he was spotted sleeping in his underwear when he came to work for the first time, intending to wake up in his underwear in the morning. It's very Aoba-like to add "o" instead of "panties."
9th place "I appreciate both Yun-chan's work and enthusiasm, so I don't think she should belittle herself compared to others."

A year has passed since Aoba joined the company, and Hazuki and Toyama are holding a feedback interview with the employees (a chance to look back on the past year with their superiors and hear their thoughts and requests). During the interview, Yun confessed his anxieties about why he joined a game production company, saying that he had no desire or goals when he joined the company, while Aoba was in character design and Hajime in planning, and that he was envious of people who had goals. He also said that it was okay for him to have no goals when there were people with such goals. Toyama responded by asking Yun if she liked game production and modeling, and when Yun answered that she did, Toyama said this famous line. It would be great to have a boss who would say things like that to you.
8th place "That game made me want to become a character designer!"

This is a famous quote that Aoba said when he first went to work at a game production company and left the company with the staff from his team after finishing his first job. When Yagami asked Aoba if he had any questions, Aoba said that there was something he was most concerned about and wanted to ask. Upon hearing this, Yagami replies, "It's the third Fairy Story game." Hearing this, Aoba is overwhelmed by the prospect of being involved in a game he has always admired, and in this scene he explains why he wants to become a character designer. This is where Aoba's story begins.
7th place "But... there's no guarantee that our relationship will stay the same forever..."

This is the famous line that Toyama said to Yagami during their feedback interview. Observing the work of the graphics team and how they have worked together so far, Hazuki says that they have made a good team, and Yagami also praises Toyama for making it easier for them to work with him as the mediator for the graphics team. However, Toyama is the only one who tells Yagami that their relationship won't necessarily continue as it was, and then says, as if he misunderstood something, "let me know if you find someone good." This is a scene with a strong comedy element, but if you just look at the lines, they are very meaningful.
6th place "I'm going to believe in everyone else too... I won't be disappointed no matter what happens to Hifumi! I want you to believe in me!"

When Hazuki and Yagami asked Hifumi if he would take on the role of character team leader, Yagami said this to the anxious Hifumi. When Yagami was promoted to leader of the graphics team, he asked Hifumi to become leader of the character team, but Hifumi, who is not good at socializing, was very worried about whether she would be able to lead people. However, Yagami asked her to remember a time when she had made a mistake in the past. He encouraged Hifumi by telling her that even if something like that had happened, she now had subordinates who would follow her. It's a boss' job to take responsibility.
5th place "Yes. Draw it until the end. I'll wait for you."

Aoba won the character design for the new game PECO, but the sponsor decided to have the famous Yagami draw the key visuals. Aoba gave up at first, but then asked to enter a competition with the key visuals, even if it was just once. Even though he knew it was a rigged game, he worked hard on the design of the key visual, and it was almost complete. At that time, Aoba was shown Yagami's key visual, and was so impressed by its perfection that he cried. But this is what Yagami said to Aoba when he told him that he would continue to draw it until the end.
4th place "Wow, it's amazing that it was solved so quickly... I actually thought it was so uncool to ask for advice. You saved me. Thank you!"

For the first time, Hajime's proposal was incorporated into a new game, but it wasn't going to go well, and he received advice from Hazuki, who said he needed to take it one step further. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a good idea. Hazuki told him that it's important to talk to someone and not worry alone, but Hajime felt embarrassed about talking to someone. However, he felt that it was no good if he continued on like this without coming up with a solution, so he mustered up the courage to talk to Aoba and Yun. He was so impressed that the part that had been bothering him was easily solved that he said these words. There's nothing embarrassing about relying on someone. There's nothing embarrassing about not knowing.
3rd place "I feel bad for making a proposal even though there's no way it'll be approved... I realized that we're the only ones that haven't made any progress. We're the most uncool!"

Aoba won a character design competition and was put in charge of character design. At first, he wrote a lot of proposals and submitted them to be incorporated into the new game. Yun, who was watching him, said this. He said this because he was ashamed of himself for laughing at people who were trying hard, and regretted not making any progress.
2nd place "Don't treat me like a kid! It's true that I wouldn't have been approved for character design without Yagami-san's help, but it was my decision to accept it!"

While thinking of a design to submit for a competition for the key visual, Yagami called out to Aoba, who apologized for the strange turn of events, saying, "If I hadn't helped Aoba during the competition, he wouldn't have had to go through all this..." However, Aoba accepted it of her own volition, and said these words to Yagami, who had treated her like a child.
1st place: "Let's do our best today too!!"

When you think of NEW GAME, this line is the first thing that comes to mind. This is the famous line that Aoba uttered when he came to work early in the morning and got pumped up. In fact, it won the bronze prize in the 2016 Anime Buzzword Awards. It's amazing how this line managed to beat out strong competitors like "But I refuse" and "My brain trembles" to win the bronze award. What's more, this line only appears once in the original work. Furthermore, the original author has stated that he will never use this line again in the future. The line also coined the phrase "zoi pose," which is a very memorable line. It's a line that packs a punch.
