Hinaki Yano and Reiji Kawashima take on the challenge of being employees for a day! A look behind the scenes at game debugging

Hinaki Yano, who plays the heroine in the anime "Quality Assurance in another world," and Reiji Kawashima, who plays Amano, sneaked into the PTW Akihabara Center and tried their hand at debugging games as a one-day trial employee. The two experienced the important job of finding and fixing bugs behind the scenes of game development, which is usually hidden from the public, and experienced the fun and difficulty of the job. The challenge to find as many bugs as possible within a limited time led to some unexpected events, which made the job very exciting. The video also shows the popular voice actors' excited yet serious side, which you don't usually get to see. In the second half of the video, a three-way discussion with Teppei Tachibana, the CEO of PTW, is also included. They talk in depth about themes such as "attitude towards work," "turning points," and PTW's statement, "As expected, beyond expectations." This is a must-see for fans of "Quality Assurance in another world," as well as those interested in the game and anime industries.
