My New Boss Is Goofy Episode 4 Review - The Main Cast Is Now Complete

Another new character joins the fray. Given the opening, he’s the last of the important characters to show up. He appeared in the post-credits scene of the previous episode, just in case if you had missed it. With our cast complete, the interactions seem even more livelier now.

Kinjou makes for an interesting addition to the story. He’s like Momose where he has a crappy job, but unlike Momose who got depressed from his previous workplace, Kinjou maintains a rather cheerful disposition throughout the episode. In fact, I think that his inclusion to the story makes the show even fruitier. I’m actually pretty surprised that Kinjou reveals that he’s bisexual and he has an implied crush on Shirosaki. Personality-wise, I do like how cheerful he is. He’s also very outgoing and observant, whether it be giving Aoyama attention to giving advice on how to get Momose to be more friendlier towards Shirosaki. If he is the “rival” of Momose in terms of Shirosaki’s affections, then this is the happiest love triangle I’ve ever seen; though, it is hard to call it that. Anyways, I do think Kinjou’s personality blends well with the other three as he’s the most extroverted and the group of introverts need someone like him.

Aoyama gets some focus in this episode too! He had bought a house to live with his wife, but got divorced as she cheated on him. I do wonder why his ex-wife couldn’t have just communicated with him regarding her loneliness and issues; did she really have to resort to infidelity? Anyways, having more Aoyama screen-time brings out his true personality. He’s lonely and needy and it makes him adorable; why is everyone in this show adorable? In order to alleviate his loneliness, he bought so many stuffed bears of a mascot called Kumatte-chan. He’s also starving for attention as he hates being ignored. Fortunately, Kinjou seems to read him well, so he’s the one who has been showering him with attention the most, much to his joy.

Other than that, Momose and Shirosaki are cute as always. I loved seeing them grow closer like how Kinjou taught Momose how to send emojis to Shirosaki without worrying too much. Seeing Momose spending the night at Shirosaki’s house and seeing him with his hair down was adorable. I do hope that Momose’s tension towards Shirosaki lessens because Shirosaki doesn’t seem to mind the casualness between them; Kinjou is very friendly and casual towards him. Also, seeing Hakutou again makes me happy. The way he was chewing on his food was adorable.

I was surprised with prolific voice actors making cameos. If you listen carefully, Kinjou’s former abusive boss is voiced by Kousuke Toriumi (known for voicing Gyokko from Demon Slayer). Kumatte-chan, the bear mascot, has a voice actor too! He’s voiced by Shouta Aoi (known for voicing Fish Eye in Sailor Moon Eternal). The fact that they got two well-known voice actors to make an appearance here shocked me. I mean, the main cast itself is filled with gems, but I didn’t know they’d go this far with the casting.

Overall, this was yet another adorable episode. I can’t wait to see what shenanigans these guys will get into in future episodes. Seriously, Saturdays have been exciting thanks to this show. I hope that the momentum keeps rising. What are your thoughts about this episode?
