Review of Gamers!

Gamers! (2017)
7/10
Strong first half, disappointing second half.
12 February 2024
The first half of Gamers! Is a highly intriguing and fun to watch romance anime that does interesting things with it's characters. As a gamer myself I thought it was a great angle to have each character have different reasons for enjoying playing games, but still bond over a love for gaming as a whole. I also appreciated how the romance developed about halfway through rather than being dragged out till the end like most of these shows do. Unfortunately the second half opts to annoy you by having the most egregious example of "miscommunication leads to drama" that I have ever seen. The degree that it is done here leads me to believe that they were going for a comedic effect, but if that the case they grossly overestimated the patience that viewers like myself have for that sort of thing. All that being said I thought it ended well, and I enjoyed the majority of it. Since it is only 12 episodes, I would still recommend it for at least a one time watch, with a warning for the second half.
