You must have encountered handsome guys who look cool no matter what they do.
Even their clumsiness comes off as cute. ‘Play It Cool, Guys’ is an upcoming anime that will portray the lives of four such handsome guys whose lives are filled with unexpected goofy errors.
These characters will make you laugh out loud with their clumsiness and their various ways of dealing with them. If you are looking for a slice-of-life anime with a splash of comedy, then this is a perfect series to anticipate.
Play It Cool, Guys is ready to receive an anime adaptation this October. The anime will have two cours, and each episode will be 15 minutes long.
Since the manga’s chapters are short and mostly focus on small instances, the 15-minutes length will do justice to the anime.
Check out the latest trailer to understand just how clumsy the protagonists are:
From forgetting wallets to sipping from a lidded coffee cup, these guys will give your forgetfulness a run for its money. To be honest, this video made me feel a bit better about my own clumsiness.
The ways in which the four deal with their issues are also different. Some overthink, while the others don’t care at all. One of them even uncontrollably laughs at himself after every error. (That’s lowkey the energy I want.)
Of course, a cool visual has also been revealed, which shows the protagonists, Hayate, Shun, Takayaki, and Sōma.
The cast members for all the protagonists have been announced as well:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Hayate Ichihara | Chiaki Kobayashi | Shōgo Taguchi (TenSura) |
| Shun Futami | Kouki Uchiyama | Tomura Shigaraki (My Hero Academia) |
| Takayuki Mima | Yuichiro Umehara | Golin Slayer(Goblin Slayer) |
| Sōma Shiki | Shōya Chiba | Ange Yuki (Visual Prison) |
Kokone Nata, the manga’s original creator also posted an illustration to celebrate the anime’s decision. All the boys are in it, but they are holding the sign upside-down due to their absent-mindedness.
Studio Pierrot will animate Play it Cool, Guys and the amazing staff members have just been revealed:
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Chiaki Kon | The Way of the Househusband |
| Series Script | Makoto Uezu | Assassination Classroom |
| Character Designer | Airi Taguchi | Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? 2 |
| Music Composer | Masato Nakayama | B-PROJECT |
So, get ready for an anime that will make you fawn over some handsome men while simultaneously making you laugh over their funny and weird habits.
All their hard work at being the ‘cool guys’ gets run over due to their goofy natures, and I think it will make the upcoming anime a fun watch.
