Arguably, it feels Episodic after the first few episodes with very slow pacing and undeveloped characters, albeit likeable ones.Īrtistic elements and designs are kept simple with no significant richness in color, but the characters and backgrounds are clean looking with enough definition to them add some charm and appeal. However, that’s all that After School Dice Club is really about three friends playing a new type of game each episode. I applaud LIDEN FILMS for taking a non-typical plot and making it into an anime. From here, the plot centers mainly on their friendship and the discovery of fun while playing these games, which, according to the anime, are not typical fanfare in Japan. Shortly thereafter, they realize that they are in a magical place of various board and card games. Intimidating to the girls at first, things change when they find out that Midori works part-time at this particular establishment. Absolutely nothing should get in the way of more Ono+Miki headpats.This lighthearted story is about three unlikely friends, Midori (the determined one), Aya (the Eternal Optimist) and Miki (the Shy one), who form their bond of friendship through unlikely means…games! One day late after school, Aya and Miki somehow find their way into this little gaming shop owned by a large man named Takeru. I was a little worried when it threw a male classmate into the mix, but it's refreshing that he's into a secondary character rather than the main girl. AND THEN AYA TOLD THE MISUNDERSTANDING TO MIKI AND THE LATTER JUST KIND OF ROLLED WITH IT WITHOUT CORRECTING ANYTHING GYAAAAH.Ĭute show, chill, fun. Getting minor Gamers PTSD from that massive misunderstanding. I mean, granted, since they've never really talked it's not like he has a well-founded reason for liking her, but still. Or you're just tipsy and can't confidently declare much of anything. Haha, no, welcome to the meta-game, where you sometimes tell the truth but attempt to make it look like you're bluffing. If you hesitate, it's extremely obvious that you're bluffing. Holy shit so our socially awkward protagonist more-or-less immediately figured this guy's motives out. Oresuki is fun just for all the scheming and general assholery (and a bit of stupidity) from the cast, and then Dice Club is a perfect contrast, a really sweet simple way to unwind. It's kind of neat that this comes out the same day as (the un-dubbed Aniplex show) Oresuki. This show makes me (and my inner gamer self) feel good watching every week. Something enjoyable and fun, but sometimes these small moments are overlooked and overpowered by the realities of real life. It's a show that feels like a cup of hot cocoa on a brisk autumn day while you sit around a table with your best friends playing games. I feel this show is one of those that can be easily slept on because of it's flavor-of-the-week style, its low stakes, wholesome characters, and relatable themes. Can't place the VA of Shota though.Īnother good and enjoyable episode. I really ennjoyed how this episode tied everything together in another cute and wholesome episode.ĭani Chambers as Aya is adorbs as usual. From being able to read faces and tells in a card game, to gauging people's feelings and thoughts in real life by reading the body language, their voice inflections, etc. Underneath all that, there is a theme about reading people's emotions and feeling, and seeing their true nature. However, with more mature players, all the bluffing and BSing can be really entertaining. Definitely something i'd be bad at, personally I'm not too good at games that have you to read other players or have others read you. It sounds like a really fun game, combining bluffing, reading, with a little bit of strategy. And the "After School Dice Club" Game of the Week is "Cockroach Poker". ![]()
