■ Story

~Five years since the TV series, four since the movie... Come again to another world!~

Light and Yomi were playing their favorite games at their leisure, living a somewhat contented life. Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Light was invited by Alpha, an emissary of the one known as the "King," and was sucked into another world with Yomi. The two, reincarnated from the real world, were given a quest to rescue the "captive Princess Melody" from "Maoh." Light felt that this mission was his "destiny," while Yomi felt that it had become a bit troublesome. Then Alpha, an AI robot servant of the "King," joined them and they formed a party. Using Alpha's program to level up (!?), they slowly made their way back and forth on their adventure, but what would their destination be?

■Explanation

The "gdgd fairies" who have been making waves in late-night living rooms and even in theaters with their loose topics are returning to TV anime as "gdmen"! At the end of the day, you'll get addicted to the "thrills x looseness"... We'll deliver a one-hit night that will "heal you with laughter"! A new work has been released that brings together chaotic talk in short pieces with the snappy tempo that is unique to gdgd (gudaguda)!!

■ Main Characters

・He is an aggressive type who is full of enthusiasm and immerses himself in the world of games, and gets really into things that interest him. That being said, he is not one of the cool kids in middle school in the real world, so he has a strong desire to be reincarnated in another world. He often runs away when things get dangerous or he realizes that it's too difficult... A typical urban otaku! In order to protect the world of games, or rather to immerse himself in it, he consciously speaks in a "heroic" tone.

・She's cool and quiet...or rather, she's shy. She only talks to the bare minimum, but she also has a side to her that makes her seem like she's trying to act grown-up. She hates troublesome things, but in reality she's strong-willed and considerate of others. Even though she tries to act grown-up, she's still a child, so she loves sweets. Especially macarons.

Alpha has a witty discourse and is quite talkative. He loves himself. He doesn't particularly like humans, including Light and Yomi. He sometimes says things like "they smell like animals." He worships his master, the "King." As he is an emissary of the King, he is positive about forming a party with Light and Yomi. It is unknown who is responsible, but some of his very important memories have been deleted.

A princess imprisoned in the prison of the old castle where Melody "Mao" lives. Although she doesn't know about the party, she looks forward to the hero's rescue all day long. She is an internet user with high information literacy. She tends to think of herself as cool, including being "interesting." Sometimes her delusions explode, and she lives in her own world, where she can talk to herself excitedly even in her prison.

gdmen gdgd men's party - Gudamen Gudaguda Men's Party Review and Recommendation

"gdmen gdgd men's party" is a 5-minute short anime that was broadcast in 2018 and was aired on TOKYO MX in the late-night hours.

Meanwhile, Yomi has a cool and quiet personality, but he is also tenacious and considerate. Alpha livens up the party with his witty talk, but has complicated feelings towards humans.
