I got to say that I honestly really enjoyed this show. It was a nice blend of funny and dorky and I smiled my way through all 12 episodes. Though I didn't understand all the references due to my newbie status to gaming, I did find them fun to pick out. The show rides on a bunch of wacky misunderstandings between the five main characters that pretty much lead to everyone thinking someone is cheating on someone. Though it's definitely a plot device to move the story along I did find them decently entertaining. I highly recommend if you enjoy shows like School Rumble.

Pretty good

Gamers! is actually pretty good, despite what other reviewers are claiming. It's categorised as romance, and comedy, so of course it will focuse on both elements the most. Games are more of a background, but at the same time, they do influence story a lot. It's not like they're there just for the sake of being there.
I recommend watching. Give it a chance.

it was the best romcom i've ever seen

I went to watch this anime without commitment and I was surprised because in addition to being a very fun mood, it's done in an intelligent way, my only negative point is that it doesn't have the second season and the story was unfinished and I was very sad because I expected to know what would happen after 11 episodes because the last one (12) is just a fan service Good despite being an anime called GAMERS! This anime focus is to show the social life of a GAMER and otaku (person Addicted to something) This anime has some PLOT Twist done in a smart and very fun way. I recommend watching without any expectations just like me and being surprised.
Strong first half, disappointing second half.

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.

Should you watch Gamers? Honestly, it really depends on, but the anime felt more like a big ship tease rather than an appealing show of sharp writing. The comedy is the main selling factor, so if humor is your cup of tea, then this anime will be one that you'll remember that by. As for the storytelling? It really doesn't do any favors when the show is like a loop that doesn't progress the main plot altogether. The anime itself is also an incomplete adaptation, as the novels are ongoing. So in essence, it's rather open-ended. For gamers and anime fans, this show is fun to watch when you're bored and need time to pass by. But for what it really delivered, it's an anime that I found facepalming myself more than laughing.
Best happy anime I ever watched

Pretty nice...But still lots to do
lukparuci13 January 2021
Still anime was nice,but it barely featured any gaming tbh.It was pretty good in terms of romance in the show and the plot was pretty good.The characters are nice in my opinion.BUT
This anime has a lot of unfinished things,so maybe they will release a season two.The only thing that I didn't like was the ending of it.Yes,they cleared the thing 50/50 but still I was kinda shocked to see that was the ending.
But overall a solid anime to watch.Worth binge watching.
Gamers with no games!
Oneirosophos24 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This anime is just a romcom, with 5-6 generic anime characters. The gaming is just the background and they rarely actually play games. Specifically only in the first episodes and the final episode has some talk about gaming. All the other 90% is just romance among them.
It would made more sense if it had something of a tournament. Or anything relative to gaming. If you change "games" with "comics" or even "golf" it would still be the same story. This is how little "games" affect the story.

Gamers, are we raise up yet ?

I hate to break it down to you guys but this anime is not entirely dedicated to the gaming culture and gaming competitive like you would expected from the title like Gamers ! but it actually about a group of loveable idiot who love to play game and their funny/misunderstanding daily shenanigans that put any rom-com anime before it into shame. The characters while look and feel generic they actually very refreshing for how much self-aware they are in a cliché situation especially the MC and his best bro Uehara. I love how the misunderstanding trope present in Gamers ! when it take full advantage of the old trope to provide great comedy but at the same time hate it when the anime beat it to death to the point that it make me extremely frustrating to watch
Meh...

It wasn't that interesting, it's only just a couple of kids who are otakus and are in love with games. Characters just seem pretty dull and unlike able. I found this anime rather boring and not entertaining to watch..
