Definitely wouldn't recommend it.
The anime is called gamers and they literally never talk about a video game.
The story has SO MANY misunderstandings, and the characters constantly make unfounded assumptions, which makes it tedious to watch. Everything's going well until something happens and one of the characters misinterprets everything. That's frustrating.
History is actually very predictable because of this.
Indeed, there is fan service. Unnecessary close-ups, unnecessary scenes, etc.
The anime itself doesn't leave any moral or anything to take away from it, and I could even say that the ending is quite confusing.
To be honest, I would have used the time I spent watching this anime to watch another one.

What can say about !Gamers, this anime at the time left me so hyped.. I mean “an anime about videogames I can't wait to see E-sports” only for it all to end in a spiral of shit which I had to swallow slowly and painfully, excited that, “maybe the next chapter will be better” I kept telling myself while watching for the eleventh time the main characters which have a personality emptier than a fucking black hole.
“oh no, that gamer guy I like is dating another girl, I can't take this, I'm going to make a drama that lasts a WHOLE chapter so he'll notice me, how clever of me”.
i swear i wanted to stop watching this anime at all cost, but i had faith in my mentor of that time (lolweapon or kalathras as you want to call him) who said that this anime would be about “VIDEO GAMES” which was going…

A considerable amount of opinions regarding Gamers!, especially in the reviews here, come from people who didn't even paid attention to what the anime actually tried to do, and therefore criticize it for expectations that were never given in first place. It's a low and not so smart move if you ask me. The main subject in Gamers!, as is shown multiple times, is: MISUNDERSTANDING. The very first scene proves this. Also, it's a lie that the anime was meant to, firstly, talk about games. The story's subject are the GAMERS, not games. But before we get any further in this idea, let's start with one of the keys to understand the anime: the characters.
At first, have Keita Amano. Even though he has a good look, he is an insecure, quiet and reclusive gamer. Amano is passionate about gaming, and e…

This anime doesn't really decide what it wants to do... It starts out by properly being about gamers as the title suggests, for like 2 episodes. But quickly enough it mutates into some bizzare rom com that can only go with one joke repeatedly: misunderstandings.
Stupid misunderstanding at that, ones that could be quickly and easily resolved by just talking between the characters, and they annoyingly avoid doing that just to make the viewers tear out their hair in frustration. And this drags on and on...
Finally the horrible rom com ends at episode 12 (the last one!!) when they at long last return to talk about games, albeit with excessive fanservice added to it which distracts from the actual conversation. And that's where it "ends". There's no story or character development to be seen h…

Well if you're looking for an anime that has a good story this is not the anime for you, you see this anime is created to make laughs not to make a connection with a person's heart in a emotional way. It is more like watching a stand up comedian, yes it is funny and good but that's all, if you remember any jokes it means it is the type of comedy you are looking for. If you criticize a show that gives jokes or an anime that is an actual joke and made you laugh through out the series and it is the only thing that you did then comments "This anime is dumb, it doesn't have any depth in its storyline nor i can't even relate to it" yes that's the point, the story of it is created so that the punchlines of the jokes has a channel to travel. So again of you are looking for a complex RomCom anime t…

Hoenstly I watched this show over a year ago but it just came to mind and made me really frustrated. I wanted to explain and "review" this show as to the best of my abilities as I can, which is not very well since I dont remember any of the details about the show and just overall feelings.
So this show's only redeeming quality is the cutie character designs. The only enjoyment I got out of the show is the characters and their expressions.
Now the thing that stands out in my mind and what I HATE about shows like this is an ongoing and escalating amount of misunderstandings where is they just ACTED LIKE RATIONAL PEOPLE THIS WHOLE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. That is my sentiment. I understand some people like that senario and good on them but honestly most of the characters are forge…

I love this anime, but majority of the time when I discuss this anime with other people they seem to not understand why I love this anime. Until recently I didn’t realize that the reason why people dislike Gamers! is because they’re watching it wrong.
If you’re watching Gamers! (Sub) stop. Gamers! (sub) is the wrong way to watch Gamers! . The right way to watch this anime is dubbed of course. The voice acting is amazing, it seemed as all 5 of the funimation voice actors were at the top of their game. The plot for this anime is so deep it puts Neon Genesis Evangelion to shame. The characters, like the plot, are well thought out. With beautifully constructed lines like “I’m gonna troll those kids like a boss...” it fleshes out the characters and the world they live in a single sentence.

I actually have a high expectations for this anime since I really like games and maybe this anime is the perfect treat for me but then it led me to disappointment.
Okay so when you hear the anime title "Gamers" what probably comes out on your mind? Of course games! This might be an anime where characters are gamers and they would play and explore different kinds of games. Or maybe they are ought to compete with other gamers using their expertise on games. But it's not. This is really just a school romance comedy anime.
The first episode really caught my interest since it shows the different types of gamers and what games they are good with. But as I continued the second and then to next episodes, it became bad and painful to watch. My expectations were ruined but I did consider the the…

If the main theme were not surround by a "Gaming" plot it could have been better.
Story 7 l Art 9 l Sound 7 l Character 7 l Enjoyment 7 l Overall: 7
It was sure an entertaining watch, It has all a basic rom-com anime has, self conscious Mc, a few girls who take an unusual like for him, and the cool best friend character who helps him out.
So what's good about this anime?
This show can be described in one word, "misunderstandings" the main plot revolves around misunderstandings that kind of gets stupid conforming the plot advances, but thanks to the character development you can see why this misunderstandings happen.
The main reason I think that this anime was good, is how they portray "Self doubt".
I think everyone had feel this kind of emotion that we are not good enough for the pe…

After catching up with the amazing slice of life-romcom, Recovery of an MMO Junkie, I wanted another game-related romance-comedy and I was hoping Gamers would touch my heart in similar ways. The production quality of Gamers was better than I expected. That opening, the references, the music, the voice acting, the art style—it's fantastic! Though Gamers started off a little bit cliched, it still piqued my interest. I thought the pilot was just a basic starting point and the second episode introduced more characters that could get fleshed out later. That was my initial thought until the anime suddenly dropped the ball after the second episode to opt for an endless barrage of misunderstandings. Gamers is the kind of anime where people squirm, shake their head side to side a bit, and go "it ha…

At first glance Gamers! feels as if it's one of those cliche, dime a dozen Rom Coms that extend the story by adding in pointless misunderstandings. And Gamers! definitely is one of those shows but it still manages to set itself apart. And that's because studio Pine Jam, understands what makes Rom Com's entertaining instead of just copy pasting stuff from other popular shows verbatim.
Unlike most shows that use misunderstandings to unnecessarily to extent the plot, Gamers! uses it as it's main driving force. Almost every single moment will be misconstrued without fail, leading to utterly hilarious hijinx.
Another reason why this show stands out is because of how it treats it's subject matter. Gamers!, surprise surprise is actually about people who enjoy video games and the different ways…

Funny enough ‘Gamers’ is NOT an anime about Games, rather it’s an anime about the people who play Games! The show is more a Slice of life Romcom about teenagers where the story just focuses on their lives at High school and their interactions with one other which may disappoint some viewers due to its Soap Opera-ish vibe. (If you are looking for something similar but with more gaming involved, check out ‘Netoge No Yome Wa Onnanoko Ja Nai To Omotta?’) I too was upset upon learning this, but the anime brilliantly defends itself by delivering spontaneously strong, albeit sometimes cliched Comedy! By not resorting to a Harem anime like everybody else, it’s a breath of fresh air to have 2 main guys rather than 1 a…

Alright, I almost dropped this anime from episode 1 because I got influenced by some reviews saying its 'cliché'. Note to self: Never read mal reviews before judging a show by myself ever again.
Just know that clichés do not automatically make a show bad. A very great example of a clichés done right is Konosuba, which utilises the isekai trope to create a wonderful and humorous parody of the actual genre, and in my opinion, another great example is Gamers!. This turned out to be one of the most impressionable romcoms for me.
The reason I almost dropped this show was because I was overly judgemental on its first episode. Admittedly, the following clichés were a bit of a turn off at the beginning: "high school game club" and "otaku-pandering main protaganist". Basically the premise of episo…

Man this anime makes me so angry..
Story 1/10
there is the ''loser" who gets asked to join the game club by the most popular girl in school, once upon going to check out the game club, there are a few very talented people and they won alot of prizes etc, So you might think this anime will be very nice about competitive gaming. NO IT IS NOT!! From ep3 till the end gaming made barely an appearance, It was just a pentagon of love and misunderstanding about who loves/cheat on each other.. And it didn't even have a real ending man..
Art 4/10 The art is nothing special only minor point i have to say here is that sometimes the chars look like robots, like when they zoom out on walking scenes etc there arms move like robots, wtf is this sh*t? can't you make t…

Anime that starts very good but finish very bad is very sad. Notice that I used the word "very" 3 times, that's the evidence of my disappointment to this show.
Story: 1/10
Plot? What plot? The story centered around Amano Keita, who is our typical lonely otaku but ofcourse despite being a loser, the most beautiful girl in their school, Tendou Karen developed a love for him. How? I don't know. It's just to sudden. Do love really works that way? And ofcourse Keita ignored that. Why? Because he is a otaku. Episode 1 is good, but later on, each episode is nothing but cringe. The potential of the starting episode immediately flushed to the toilet.
Art: 3/10
Character design is unoriginal. Bland and too simple. All of them is so plain except Hoshinomori Chiaki Some animated scenes are very bad.…

Hey guys, do you like video games? Are you a gamer? Are you alone? Are you an awkward individual? Are you also an otaku? If you checked off more than one of the options I listed, I got the show just for you! It's "Gamers!" The show where all of your characters are nothing more than a bunch of awkward teenagers trying to connect with each other.
You can't help but cover your eyes hoping it doesn't get any cringier. Seeing this makes me want to bawl my eyes out as the characters fail to interact with each other like regular human beings. It's a mixture of cringe, frustration, and stupid fun rolled into one. First and foremost, I'd like to say, the show is a comedy. Personally, if a show has made me laugh countless times, I'd say it did its job correctly. I'm sure it is also safe to say that…

"Extreme Misunderstandings – the animation", for better or worse.
Gamers is a bit of a misleading anime. The synopsis primarily gives off the vibe of being a slice of life club anime where the club in question would be focused on gaming. But that is not really what Gamers is about. Yes, there technically is such a club in this anime but it's a very minor part of it, and in reality Gamers is more of a stereotypical love polygon romcom. However, although it is certainly somewhat generic, the show has some decent merit to it all things considered, but ultimately ends up biting off more than it could chew.
Above all, Gamers is an anime about romance-related misunderstandings. Multi-layered misunderstandings. You may think that this does not sound like anything out of the ordinary for a romco…

What is the meaning of gamer? If we go to our favorite culture dictionary, we will consider a gamer someone that plays video-games. Is it the main topic of this anime? Sadly, it isn't. The video-game idea is irrelevant here unless that we associate the game concept with a relationship. In that case, we can say that the plot of this anime is a relationship game and a "gamer" interprets, acts, and plays on that relationship game. The goal of the game could be ending with someone, maybe love, etc.
I can give several convenient titles for this anime, "Misunderstandings," "The mess," "Mistakes," "Misconceptions." All these titles point to the same problems in a relationship and how messy a relationship can be. It would be wrong waiting to see a full-time anime about "video-games," tournaments…

Gamers is honestly a show that made me scratch my head more than I realized. As a gamer myself, this anime really feels relatable at heart on occasions because of its concepts. However, what really follows is a rough adaptation that translated into a questionable story. It ended up being an anime that I can’t fully say it’s appreciable for what it had to offer. And that’s too bad really.
Based on the light novel of the same name, Gamers stood out as an anime at first for me just by its title and it seemed like a show that I felt comfortable with. However, what this series actually presents is far more just about gamers gathering together to play games. It became a show with romance themes, misunderstandings, and drama shenanigans that really took relationships to a strange level. On paper…

What comes to our mind when we hear 'Games'? Is it excitement? thrilled? seducing?.. I think it is.. Just like anime itself.. But what if.. There is an anime about 'Gamers'.. You know.. Typical teenagers that goes to high-school then they go home to not study, but game all day. Gamers on real life are like sand grains on the beach. They are too many. We cannot count how many sand grains out there am i right? Thus, games ARE really popular throughout our generation. From toddlers who play 'ABC' games, to adults who play 18+ games out there. Almost all of us are gamers. This season we are presented by an anime that you can summarize on 1 word only because of its title.. Yes.. I am talking about ''Gamers!''. The most cliched, cringy (I guess?) and misunderstanding anime out there on this seas…
