For the most part the core voice cast was moe yet decent let alone not grating as you'd expect either. Saki Miyashita as Miki has a monotoned but moe cadence in voicing the shy loner type to the expositionary Miyu Tomita as Midori whilst Marika Kouno is the genki Aya and finally the funny foreigner but not M.A.O as Emilia. The voice cast is pretty decent and moe to be expected from a "cute girls doing cute things" anime. But other than that, the animation done by LIDENFILMS was decent to a bit above average in all cases. The animation done by LIDENFILMS is mostly decent from the crisp character designs to even some of the alternative style in animation when tutorials in some of the games comes into play. Yes the narrative focus of the anime is towards Miki as her opening up through games, but the focus changes as Midori gets into the limelight and her wanting to achieve her dream in getting a game published but this anime does one good thing and that's synergizing it's character development with board games, weird thing to say but it's what levitates the cheesiness of some of the episodes' as all three soon to be four core cast to develop with the games they play, Miki with gaining friends, Aya and Emilia for having fun and Midori making games. For that, Houkago Saikoro Club intertwining board games with it's characters is actually quite well done, wholesome, yes, but almost cheesy sometimes, but mostly wholesome. The board games shown are REAL by the way so this anime is even an advertisement for some really niche board games that are not Monopoly and the like. On the board game side of things, we get a bit of a tutorial of games in each episode and sometimes the games have a certain plot point concerning a character, mainly Miki and Midori to develop them. Ohh and there's something about the vice president turned president of the student council who wants Midori to help her and she also is vehemently against the notion of games in general thus becomes an obstacle fo the club early on (she latter becomes tsundere about it due to the actual president of the student council comes in). There are other supporting characters like the owner of the board game shop Takeru Kinjou voiced by Takaya Kuroda, Miki and Aya latter gets love interests that of Ryuuhi Yoshioka voiced by Shun Horie and Shouta Tanoue voiced by Kouhei Amasaki to Miki and Aya respectively while the next person inadvertently becomes one for yuri undertone for Midori that of Emilia voiced by M.A.O who later joins the club and is the typical "foreigner" archetype who takes a liking to Midori, only makes sense as they both have the same dream with games. Aya is the typical genki girl AND.though she picks up board games off the bat, she's quite bad in board games as a result.she does get an episode to herself concerning her father but LA sees her as the least developed of the core cast. Miki has the typical shy girl mannerisms, however she at the start wants to be kept to herself, but once Aya comes into play and plays in the board game club, she naturally finds through board games that having friends is fine, she a bit different in which is doesn't want to stand out because she's soo shy, she wanted to be kept alone but she just naturally finds herself opening up and not "wanting to stand out", quite different for a shy girl archetype. Well with the core cast, Midori Oono is the stern but holds-no bar when coming to games even with newbies, her passion and dream is to become a board game designer. Houkago Saikoro Club does two things, character growth and board games. With these three they inadvertently play games after school and deepens friendship with board games.
Houkago Saikoro Club is by the by a very wholesome anime about an afterschool board game club, wherein Miki Takekasa voiced by Saki Miyashita being extremely shy and anti-social due to a childhood trauma keeps to herself, until Aya Takayashiki voiced bu Marika Kouno sweeps her away as she befriends Midori Oono voiced by Miyu Tomita the class rep of their class and works at a board game shop. Asobi Asobase's more tame Board Game variant.
