My New Boss Is Goofy. What a unique title. With that, I chose to give the show a watch out of curiosity. I'm glad I did. The show is based around the lives of Kentaro Momose, who has quit his old job working under a powerdrunk and abusive boss and his new boss, Yusei Shirosaki. Momose starts working under Shirosaki and at first is worried about possibly getting on the bad side of his new boss. It soon turns out, however, that Shirosaki is nothing like Momose's old boss and is a kind-hearted, yet extremely goofy guy and the two strike up an immediate friendship.The two are joined by their friendly, yet quirky and attention-starved section chief, Mitsuo Aoyama and new employee who jumped ship after talking to Momose regarding his own abusive boss, the extroverted bisexual Aigo Kinjou. Along with the four human members of the cast, we also have a little white kitten who Shirosaki names Hakutou after finding him abandoned. Hakutou's internal dialogue reveals him to be a tsundere to the highest degree, which only serves to make the little guy cuter. What we have from there is a 12 episode slice of life anime with next to no drama in spite of the set-up. While Momose's old boss is mentioned quite frequently and shows up a couple of times, there is next to no conflict in the show. There's certainly none among the main characters and even though Aoyama can get a little bit much at times with his neediness, what we get is a fun, charming, relaxing and honestly healing workplace slice of life comedy mostly based around the extremely close friendship of Momose and Shirosaki, their cat and their colleagues. All of the characters have their own charm. All of their dynamics work and even Hakutou add to the plot and are a draw. The animation is perfectly fine, the soundtrack works for what it is, but neither are really the focal point of the show. There's certainly nothing bad enough to detract from the overall quality of the show, the animation and art style suit the show perfectly and the background music, opening and closing themes do their job and again add to the charm of the show. My New Boss Is Goofy isn't an action-oriented anime. It's not particularly plot-driven either. The central charm is the characters and the goings-on in their lives in any given episode. Whether it's Shirosaki and Momose finding Hakutou and Shirosaki being the best cat dad he can be, Shirosaki and Momose visiting Shirosaki's grandmother and Momose meeting Shirosaki's older brother, Momose and Kinjou hanging out bonding over past relationships or even Hakutou trying to find Shirosaki's lost shirt button as a thank you to Shirosaki for loving him from the second he adopted him, plots are very character driven which is helped by the fact every single one of our central characters is likeable and has their own quirks. The show doesn't try reinventing the wheel, and it doesn't have to or need to. As you can tell from my review, I really enjoyed the show. There are heavy BL overtones that the show never follows through with, which may disappoint some people, but given the charm of the shows and the warmth of everything, it's not something which detracts from the show too much. Some may even find the fact it's simply a show about two extremely close guy friends, their friends and their cat with no romance *more* of a draw. All you have is a purely wholesome, warm, pleasant, soul-healing slice of life anime you can just sit down, watch, whether as a marathon or an episode at a time and feel good after watching. My New Boss Is Goofy may never get the acclaim of say, Vinland Saga season 2, and it certainly doesn't aim to be the epic that is. But as an entertaining, feel-good anime, it does its job perfectly and is my favourite anime of this current season. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

there is no heterosexual explanation for this, i- This is a really good comfort show, and there were no misses in any episode. I feel like towards the end it did lean in to the romantic interest, even though it isn't explicitly BL, like it's the gayest shit ever (good shit at that). Like I would not even call this Fujioshi bait because it's so blatant. It's the definition of "and they were roommates". While it's true this didn't have much animation and felt like slideshow story boards, the VAs really put their entire vussy into this and brought the characters to life. The story isjust very heart-warming and it can be a bit wishy-washy but that's what this entire genre is about, so who cares. It's very comforting and I'm glad I discovered the Cute Guys Doing Cute Things genre. We need more of those and falling down this rabbithole has been really fun. But yeah, this shit gay af, specially towards the end. But that's the campy part of this show because it's a constant "there's just no way this isn't BL" , like they were so unserious and REAL for that I have not choice but to call this show iconic. its COMPLETELY for the girlies and people that want cuteness without the problematic infantilization you normally see in anime. it's dumb harmless fun.

I highly recommend this anime for those looking for something on the heartwarming/lighthearted side of anime. The genre of is Iyashikei, which is supposed to give a relaxing and "healing" feeling for the audience. This anime definitely achieves that. The plot is simple, office workers becoming friends. It does not move mountains in terms of story and plot, but its soo adorable and silly that you can't help but smile and laugh while watching. As I get older, I feel like I'm in need for more calming anime with adult characters. This achieves that. There is some serious topics such as PTSD and recoveringfrom trauma. Which I think the anime does a pretty good job at displaying what trauma can look like for someone. But it shows how the characters begin to heal from the trauma. The last thing I'll say is that while the anime is not a BL, it does have some "bromance" themes. Highly recommended to those who enjoy BL.

Out of all the anime to air in the Fall 2023 season, My New Boss is Goofy completely flew under the radar. This anime follows Kentarou Momose, a new hire at an advertising company after quitting his last job due to an abusive boss. Kentarou’s new manager is Yuusei Shirosaki, someone who almost immediately puts the former’s anxieties at ease. I actually like the character background behind these two and how it’s utilized for the sake of the series as Momose’s traumatic experiences at his old job still haunt him from time to time, but Shirosaki is able to bring some comfort to his newsubordinate in a way that helps them form a strong bond with one another. The comedy and banter between these two helps build the very at-ease and chill vibes that this show gives off. However what makes this show work so well are how all of the character’s lives are fleshed out. Given that this is a slice of life, we follow the characters throughout many different episodic adventures, from meeting family members again to having wholesome interactions with the clients they work with, the menial everyday jobs that the two main characters do are given some form of vibrancy through how all of these directly impact them. Throughout the season, we are given great depth to both Momose and Shirosaki, especially when it comes to stuff like their motivations for taking up certain jobs and whatnot. Hell, even the side characters get a lot of breathing room to shine. Characters like Hakutou, who is literally a cat, gets a couple of episodes for characterization and I legit actually felt bad for him when learning about all of the emotional neglect he went through with his previous owner. Mitsuo Aoyama and Aigo Kinjou are some secondary characters in this anime and they are also given ample screentime to flesh out their background and try and build a fun dynamic with the main two characters. This is what a slice of life anime should be: flesh out characters and give them depth through their everyday tasks. This not only makes us care about the characters, but the menial stuff that they do in their lives are also made interesting. The show made me care about Kentarou’s ad becoming a success or him finding a new place to live. The anime made me care about Shirosaki trying to be a caring person who looks out for others, whether that be for Momose, Hakutou, or literally anyone else he works with, and fit what the title of this series is, he is indeed goofy. I will say that the only downside to this anime is the fact that it can feel very repetitive at times, since there are many moments where Shirosaki is being clumsy, but I think how it’s implemented works for the most part. I honestly don’t mind it since the show isn’t making fun of him for screwing up since both Kentarou and Yuusei himself find it amusing and fun when stuff like this happens. The Iyashikei elements of this anime work since they provide both Momose and us viewers light-hearted and wholesome banter that can help us escape and even recover from the trauma and hardships that one has been through. My New Boss is Goofy is good soul food for those who are tired and stressed out from all of the tedious tasks of the real world. This show is fun, relaxing, and wholesome with a relatable and likable cast of comfort characters. If you’re looking for a lo-fi and chill anime, then this might just be for you.

Its a 10 out of 10 ! Loved EVERYTHING ! Story is sad, but we have someone that do his best to work, that is still stressed by his old job and mostly his previous boss, and got a new kind and loveable one.. (small spoiler : Ddidn't expected that the cat would have a VA) buit i was in love with running gag of aoyama (mostly the last episode that make me laugh out very loud ! Relationship between our main characters was very beautifull and if i would say something bad, is the fact that we didn't end with more Yaoi,because the anime has a VERY BIG vibe of yaoi (mostly the 3 last episodes), but there no Yaoi tag, so it couldn't happens, but its the only part that i criticise but that i a way, i can't because, like i said "no tag". From the end look like we'll not gonna get a season 2 ----------- Spoiler Warning : Would have love to see Ken old boss and see Ken with Shiro confront his old boss (like the mistake they've made at episode 11 with the other guy) ----------- Anyway 10/10 Very lovely, btw Hakuto is very cute
