If I had to describe Gamers in one word I would say mess. Not a mess as in that the anime is bad but a mess in the way that ties the story together and progresses it. Not a beautiful mess per se but you get my point. If youve heard about this anime on Reddit YouTube etc. before reading this review you probably already know that those whove watched it frequently call it Misunderstandings: The Anime. They arent exactly wrong. While romance anime and anime in general is known for the misunderstandings Gamers takes it to the far end. While some might find the misunderstandings annoying and get turned off from watching by them they make the anime interesting. While it can be extreme the misunderstandings progress the plot and create many humorous situations. Gamers can be an annoying anime to watch but the annoyances dont make it a bad one.

Gamers is only nominally about gaming while mostly being about relationship trouble and the misunderstandings as to be expected from a romcom anime. It stars Amano Keita a loner gamer who loves games for their enjoyment value. The other main characters include: Tendou Karen the standard topoftheclass blonde girl who is the president of the schools Game Club who tries to get Amano to join Uehara Tasuku a reformed gamer who still likes to play games but gave up being a nerd in order to fit in more Aguri who is Tasukus girlfriend and doesnt play games Hoshinomori Chiaki who is very like Amano but has a very different philosophy when it comes to games and Hoshinomori Konoha who is Chiakis sister and is mostly relevant in the latter half of the anime. Together these five Chiakis sister is not a part form the love pentagon or rather make one up inside their head. All of these characters are unique despite the tropes that they convey. Due to the way the anime tells its story if you dont like the characters you probably should drop the anime.

Although they can be very annoying the misunderstandings are ultimately what make Gamers interesting. If it was just a standard harem anime where all girls had a crush on Amano Gamers would just be cookiecutter and boring. The added misinterpretations and mixups are what make Gamers its own anime and are not as bad as some people on Reddit might imply. The confusion that all of the characters have are oddly familiar and will probably remind of you of whatever misunderstands you had while in high school.

Gamers isnt anything groundbreaking but its worth a watch. If the misunderstandings are not that annoying to you then you will hopefully see that its what makes the anime good. The only sad part about it is that the Light Novel series that its based on has only been officially translated into German making it near impossible for those who dont know Japanese to continue with the series after the anime ends.
