1* {{Defictionalization}}: Aoba's Hi-bear-nating Bag was [[https://wowjapan.asia/2017/07/totally-want-bear-onesie-based-aobas-sleeping-bag-new-game/ temporarily sold as a real piece of merch]], except as a jumpsuit with a hoodie instead of a sleeping bag.
2* NoDubForYou: The OVA was only released as a bonus for those who submitted their proof-of-purchases of the anime's six initial Japanese [=DVDs=]. As a result, it is the only episode of the series to not have an official English release.
3* SleeperHit: A poll in a Japanese wiki site reveals that ''New Game!'' [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2016-08-04/love-live-sunshine-drops-for-new-game-in-2016-summer-poll/.105025 ends up being the most popular anime in the summer 2016 season]], even dethroning marketing juggernaut ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine''.
4** It then got an English dub for ''both seasons'' from Creator/FUNimation and a manga license from Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment almost out of nowhere.
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the Japanese Wikipedia, the working title was "heartwarming company slave manga" and it was a much darker take based on the frustration and failure that led Tokuno to quit the games industry after only three years. However, a cast full of moe girls inspired him to make it LighterAndFluffier instead.
