Shachou, Battle no Jikan Desu! Is based on an RPG by the same name in which the player plays the titular “president” and must recruit adventurers and train them. In the anime, we have Minato, who has become the new president of the Kibou Company. They’re not really the best and the company is broke so they rely on him to lead them to success and to earn a lot of money by collecting Kirakuri—a valuable type of energy. Adventure and hilarity ensue.

This sounds like a regular old fantasy adventure RPG-ish anime but the way they approach all the usual concepts and tropes is unique in that it is all treated much like a workplace. From the obvious use of “President” for who would regularly be the leader of the party to said party being referred to as a “Company” instead of a guild or something similar, we see a lot of workplace references in Shachibato! But really, when you think about it, all adventurers have a job; being adventurers IS their job! They have hierarchies just like in an office, and they all work towards a common goal, giving each team member a role that they are good at. In Shachibato!, Guide is the administrator and accountant for the company, Yutoria is the secretary, and so on. They even talk about what technical schools they all went to when they run into old classmates that now work at other companies! It’s definitely a fresh new twist on the fantasy adventure genre.

In the year 1940 and after the Great Demon War, the world is at peace and international divisions form the World Combat Revue Organization. These combat revues, meant to fight originally, are now in a peaceful world and set to participate in biennial tournaments. Seijuurou Kamiyama is the new captain of the Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division in Tokyo which, as expected, is formed by a variety of skilled fighters who are also talented performers. As a new demon threat rises to destroy the peace, the Tokyo Fower Revue must compete in the tournament while defending their city.

Also based on a—very popular—game of the same name, Sakura Wars the Animation envelops more than just action, mechs, and artistic performances. With their status and no wars to fight over the last decade, they work like a well-oiled machine to put on their performances and performed other duties. They have a general manager in Sumire Kanzaki, who has a secretary of her own in Kaoru Rindou—who is also the accountant—and Clarissa Snowflake is the archivist/librarian. What can’t these girls do!??
