For me, this shows draws and sells its humor through the misunderstandings. Both of their live are intersected with Karen and Amano as the story picks up and they get involved in drama and the misunderstandings. Similarly, Tasuku finds himself easy to make friends with others and very outgoing. Individually, Aguri is also quite an energetic character with a friendly personality. They bring in the comedic drama as misunderstandings are often created by plot circumstances and their own personal delusions. Drama follows the both of them as ship teases begins to develop between various characters.īeyond Amano and Karen, we also got Aguri and Tasuku, a couple with very sociable personalities. Unlike Karen, he’s also more timid and unpopular at school.

For Amano himself, it seems he has a mutual attraction towards Karen although has a hard time to confess the truth. The anime makes it clear that she likes Amano and extends beyond just the idea of video games.

What might rub people in the wrong way is her obsession with video games and more so, her obsession with Amano. Karen is a character that I found to be easy to accept as she is friendly and simple to get along with. From the very start, it’s pretty straightforward as the anime jumps right into the main picture with the characters and their roles. Gamers is not recommendable if you have an obvious dislike for rom-com. Let’s get the obvious elephant in the room out of the way. What follows is a string of misunderstandings that ended up being messy. On paper, the show’s premise sounds pretty simple as main male protagonist Keita Amano is invited by the prettiest girl of the school Karen, to join her video game club. It became a show with romance themes, misunderstandings, and drama shenanigans that really took relationships to a strange level.

This series actually presents is far more just about gamers gathering together to play games. And that’s too bad really.īased 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. It ended up being an anime that I can’t fully say it’s appreciable for what it had to offer. However, what really follows is a rough adaptation that translated into a questionable story. As a gamer myself, this anime really feels relatable at heart on occasions because of its concepts. Gamers is honestly a show that made me scratch my head more than I realized.
