Synopsis

After her boyfriend breaks up with her for another girl, college student Akane Kinoshita wrestles with a broken heart and the memories he left behind. Loading up Forest of Savior, the MMO they used to play together, she forms a plan to get back at her ex-boyfriend through an in-person event for the game. In the process, she runs into someone unexpected: Akito Yamada, a gaming legend who just happens to be her guildmate.

Desperate for support, Akane ropes the asocial Yamada into helping with her scheme and lending her a shoulder to cry on. The differences between Akane and Yamada soon become apparent as they spend time together, yet they cannot help but notice each other's inner qualities. As the two gain more experience with one another in and out of the game, their tentative acquaintance may level up in a way neither expects.

What happens when you mix gaming, love-hate relationships, and misunderstandings together? You'll get Gamers! the Animation...nah, that's a joke altogther, calm your button-mashing and keyboard-warrioring shtick down!

But on a serious note, mangaka Mashiro's Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru a.k.a My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999, has been one of the manga series that I have been wanting to read for quite a while now (that was put on hold due to the anime announcement during Aniplex's Online Fest late last year), and I have to say that with Madhouse's anime adaptation, it has been quite the pleasant experience from start to finish. ...

Mixed Feelings

While I enjoyed this anime, I can't really recommend it. Why? Well, it is just like a bland soup that will fill you, but will not give you any lasting taste.
So what do we have here? A girl after a break up meets a gamer and we follow their interactions for 13 episodes. Don’t be fooled tho if you thought “wow, a gamer, he is just like me!” - the man is a typical hot dude that has no rest from girls. And this is, basically, everything I can tell without going through every episode spoilering you events, because the flow of events is neither ...

Well-written

For an anime with a video-game themed title, very little of the show has anything to do with video-games. You won't be getting a fun exploration of how a relationship can blossom through an online game, you'll be getting all the tropes of the Shojo genre with little in the way of character depth or interesting twists, where the game occasionally serves as an excuse for our protagonists to interact.

After getting dumped, 20 year old college girl Akane meets 17 year old handsome, academically elite, pro-gamer, handsome, tall, aloof, handsome high school student, Yamada, who's very handsome. Much like that sentence, the show isn't shy ... about beating you over the head with Yamada's handsomeness; when he's in public everyone swoons over him, girls confess to him, guys high-five him, dogs do tricks for him, incase you ever forget how handsome he is, don't worry, the show will remind you.

But despite all this positive feedback, we're expected to believe he has no clue about his own attractiveness and even considers Akane out of his league?! Sure, buddy... It's almost as hard to buy as him maintaining what amounts to 3 full-time jobs (school, pro-gamer, MMORPG elite) while having enough time to tutor, hang out with his guild-members IRL and casually hang with a girl he barely knows. Even for a wish-fulfilment fantasy about the mysterious high-status man who can have anyone but chooses us, the self-insert protagonist, that's a stretch...

Akane is your typical Shojo girl: kind, earnest, understanding, tries hard, smiles in the face of hardship and is cute but not so cute that the average viewer can't project herself onto her. She's an active protagonist, yet much of the story relies on convenient coincidences, like the way they meet, or the frequency with which they happen to bump into each other in public.

Their chemistry is somewhat non-existent, owing in part to Yamada's lack of- and Akane's overabundance of personality. Most situations are just excuses for Yamada to witness Akane's, at times unnaturally forced, good-heartedness and they both spend way too much time in the "oh I don't know how I feel about them, or how they feel about me" phase, despite passing the line of mere friendship many times throughout the season.

If you're new to Shojo and don't mind suspending your disbelief for implausible premises, this show might be worth a watch; it's decent at some things, the animation is nice, the character design is kinda cute and the overall vibe is cozy. But if you've seen even a couple Shojo, you're not easily flattered by shallow pandering, or you have no patience for poorly written contrivances, skip it.
