As a rom-com enthusiast, I noticed something weird that I don't really understand, why does Keita and Chiaki call each other by their first names and no one else does it to them? Sure they got along very well at the start but they started hating each other very quickly. Even after Tendou and Amano started dating they never called each other by first name, and not even Amano and Uehara did it and they're pretty much best buddies I'd say.
Thought I still think it's hella weird to be embarressed to be called by their first name cause I mean... it's your NAME. Kinda wonder if that's a thing IRL too in Japan.

Well, these are just 3 am thoughts after re-watching it and it's so damn fun. Feel like I laughed as much as I did watching it the first time. I feel like if Bottom tier character Tomozaki-kun can get 2 seasons this one should get one.

why?
This is just bad and one of the most infuriating anime out there. The misunderstandings don't make any sense.

Well, yeah if you enjoyed it then that's what matters. However, man this show would've been finished in 5 minutes if they all just sat together and talked.

Have you ever considered that maybe you didn’t understand the misunderstandings, but others did?

This is a question I ask myself sometimes, when I am not able to follow the an anime.

Anyways, it’s been a good while, my past self rated this an 8, but I can’t remember much about it, probably need a rewatch.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

That's what was fun about it, the look on their faces during confession and the title switch were amazing.

you could say this to alot of animes. let alone orher shows.

the show was about misunderstanding and it did what it wants

misunderstanding and miscommunication is a common trope even in real life..

its so easy to say that but most things happens in life because of "misunderstandings".

Just look at the current events.

if people can really talk eye to eye with each other everytime - we would never have wars.

You probably enjoyed it but I find the misunderstandings in the show really stupid and nonsense. Well, enjoyment is totally subjective.

You're totally wrong in the last line. I'd say human greed is the main catalyst behind wars.

@NegativeRei

Wrong in the last line? I mean WW2 would never happen if Japan only sits down with the US. The same way if the Naxis never misunderstood the Russians.

History has taught us that "Misunderstanding has always been a factor in conflict

I DONT EVEN NEED TO go deeper in the history - just this very moment.

Putin misunderstood the Ukrainians and here they are in a war.

That take was just flat out wrong. Dude.

Miscommunication can be a factor among many but you're wrong if you think only negotiations can prevent war.

Is the current Gaza war caused by misunderstandings? No, It's not.

@NegativeRei Wars are made by many factors and misunderstandings are one of it. I never really said that it was the lone reason.

I won't have to delve deeper with Israel and Palestine - it's a 60-year-old story muddied by many things in the background.
My point is that the reality is - IT IS HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO TALK IT OUT THEMSELVES. So many relationships are ruined because of misunderstandings. Many divorces have been cited to have ended because they never talk.
How many crimes have been committed because of a dumbo being misunderstood?.
You, yourself might have a misunderstanding with someone and took you a while to talk it out?.

Its always easy to say "If only yall have talked it out" but the reality is "emotion" dictates most outcomes.

I’m beginning to see people actually enjoyed this, but back when I first watched it a few years back, it actually didn’t stand out to me very much.

One of the only things it did different than other shows of its genre was the gaming aspect of it, and even that’s beginning to be more commonplace. I didn’t think it was bad, but it’s kind of just your average romance if you really take a look at what we’ve been getting before and after this came out. I also kind of dislike how it ended, not very eventful at all. If there’s anything more from the source material, I hope we get to see it cause not much happened by the end of season 1.

If you want rom coms with gaming, watch High Score Girl or something—I enjoyed the character development more in that one, and the story itself has more to offer in my opinion. I haven’t watched Gamers in a few years though, so maybe my memory isn’t serving me right. I’ll rewatch it and see if I hold the same opinion.

@gloozed What I enjoyed from it is everyone's reactions to all the misunderstandings and their face expressions, I don't see this as your typical rom-com since there are five people never properly talking to each other, making it more chaotic every as time goes on.
Uehara thinking Amono likes Aguri while supporting Chiaki who he thinks likes Amano but it's himself she likes.
Aguri thinking Uehara is cheating on her with Chiaki (and Tendou maybe, can't rememebr).
Amono thinking Uehara is cheating on Aguri and thinking he likes Tendou.
Tendou just panicking
What I find the funniest is how these 4 people are having secret meetings with the ones they think the other is cheating on or thinks he/she likes
And Chiaki having absolutely no clue what's going on for a while since she's never really been told who's in a relationship with who. I'm honestly not sure if she ever knew Uehara was in a relationship with Aguri. Since I don't remember her commenting "oh he has a girlfriend" or something like that

And I just love the chemistry between everyone, Uehara becoming buddies with Amano because he sees his old self in him but Amano is not ashamed to like games like he was.
Tendou falling for Amano because of what Amano said about having fun is the most important part about gaming, not just winning.
Auguri and Amano developing a sibling bond.

@Aesethyr Putin DIDN'T misunderstand the Ukrainians. He wants to re-create the Soviet Union, of which Ukraine was a key component. He flat out invaded them. It was coming for years & everyone knew it. And WWII wasn't about misunderstandings either. For Hitler, it was about PAYBACK. They really need to do a better job with teaching history these days. Ignorance is off the charts.
