DESCRIPTION

At first glance, these guys look cool and handsome.

You want to get closer to them... but then you realize they're all clumsy! They forget their wallets, turn on their music on the train without putting their headphones in, put on glasses when they have their contacts in, stab bendy straws backwards into drinks, walk around with a shoehorn that they thought was an umbrella… Despite being so clumsy, these guys never forget to play it cool.

Like a Warm and Cozy Blanket, I Feel at Home.
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 don’t have a favorite amongst the boys because they’re 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 they're 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 they've known each other for years, their bond is beautiful to watch. They're 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.

There’s 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. I'm 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!

The episodes are quite short, you’ll feel sad once they are over. While mostly episodic in nature, I would say that there’s still a cohesive plot going on and different episodes are interconnected. I was truly NEVER bored.

To be honest, I’m sad while writing this. Having been watching this show since October 2022 and it suddenly being over is making me feel melancholic. That’s how much I loved Play It Cool, Guys. I think this show will entertain many different people, so if you’re in need of something comforting and relaxing please give it a try. As for me, I'm going to miss my boys tremendously. I’m planning to read the manga to fill the void!
