| Shit start, good show? Hopefully? I have the same reason for being a gamer. Actually, the thought of playing games for competition kind of disgusts me to some extent...Not as in I find people who do that disgusting, I just can't even consider torturing myself to be better at something that was supposed to be fun in the first place. So seeing an MC with the same outlook on gaming as me was awesome, and I can see his reason for not joining the club, but MAN YOU MADE A GIRL CRY FFS! I get that he's supposed to be a relatable shy character but if you joining a club would mean so much to someone (a cute girl, as a matter of fact) then you do it, even as a casual gamer. I doubt that they wouldn't accept him as a casual. I mean, forcefully getting better at gaming isn't so bad if you're doing it with friends who can teach you while you're all having fun. So, I hope the MC stops being a wimp and gets his shit together, other than that the show seems fun, looking forward to the next episode. |

| okay.. Now Im the kinda person who absolutely hated KonoSuba's type of humor and couldnt even get past one full episode of it. With that said, I am VERY surprised that I found this funny. The awkwardly worded conversations and followup reactions were just hilarious. |

Not sure if anyone noticed since it wasn't mentioned here. But there's Gamestop.  |
| I like Karen a lot I also of course like games |
| Pandering to the next generation of kid gamers. As someone who has been online gaming since UT99 I gotta say that whoever was in charge of this show has no idea how high tier FPS gamers really are. This guy has radar and sees the guy and backs away? Plz. High tiered gamers will hunt you down relentlessly twitch shooting with unreal accuracy. Also the guy had a fkn sidearm out? How come he couldn't lock the match down even more when he a so called pro champion who doesn't wanna go easy on people? With split screen? The learning/difficulty curb is too high for him to just git gud by playing a pro who wont go easy on him. He needs to play against lower tiered players and get a feel for things and gradually get better. You can't just teach someone to git gud. Also, I have that headset. Hyper X Cloud II gaming headset. Though mine is gun metal. I could tell easily as I had them on while watching this. Has the giant x, the stitching on top, and the metal part holding it together. |

| 3/5- Enjoyable premiere. It was kind of nothing in the first half but once they got to the club, things got niteresting. Loved seeing things I recognized like CSGO's dust 2 map and the Kingston Hyper X Headset. I really like Tendou and Amano. At first I didn't really like Amano but then I started connecting to his desire to play games for fun. I use to play competitively on CSGO and won a few local tournaments. I was also a top 100 Solo Demon Hunter in Diablo 3 in 2 straight seasons so that was cool. But when I decided to play casually life was so much more fun...and I broke less headphones. I loved that the entire episode showed Amano being excited to join a game club with Tendou. As for Tendou, they built her up to be this popular girl who everyone has a crush on so when the episode ended, I did not expect Amano to flat out reject Tendou's offer...twice. Once in front of the other club members and the second in front of their class mates. Anyways, there are a few interesting characters I'd like to get to know so I guess I'm sold. |
 |
| He chooses his ideals over a cute girl... Amano-kun has my greatest respect! |
| That was surprisingly charming, and the fact MC rejected the main girl's invitation was an interesting twist. Also that topic of casual vs competitive is a constant of games. If it can be explored further it should prove educative. |
 |
| woah this was pretty dumb lol. MC's reasoning for declining was so frustratingly retarded i wanted to put a toothpick under my toenail and kick a wall as hard as i could. yeah man you totally wouldn't be allowed to just play games by yourself the way you want to in there. impossible. it's not like when you walked into the room you saw 2 different people playing games by themselves and having fun. i also really enjoyed how he learns that he absolutely hates competitive gaming from a single 2 hour session of a game he has never played before. why was MC in particular even chosen, anyway? she sees him with an eroge and thinks "perfect! this is what i need for my serious gaming club!" for some reason, i do not think that it would be very difficult to find other, more suitable club members. anyway, that whole episode played out like a bog standard "really cute girl likes unappealing MC for no reason" romcom mixed with an episode of the big bang theory, complete with a bunch of "us gamers, huh?" nonsense that seemed like it was written by/for 45 year olds that have never played a game in their life. edit: oh yeah i forgot, those text boxes that kept popping up in the beginning were supremely unfunny and ruined some otherwise amusing scenes. |
| Tendou got a hard reject. Ouch |
glad we agree. there's basically no downsides to him trying it out on a trial basis, but there are a lot of upsides which he sits there and lists out for us before declining. i could understand it if he tried working with them a bit more to let him enjoy games in his own way and they refused, but he only protested weakly a single time throughout their gaming session. if they absolutely insist on the club members being super competitive no matter what, it makes even less sense that she insists on MC joining the club after seeing that he plays eroge and after seeing how unwilling he is to play competitively. |
Valaskjalf said: I'll give this a 10/10 if they bring out the arrow in the knee meme In that case u need to watch Zero Kara, more specifically 2nd episode :3 |
| The lack of any PVs or CMs had me concerned that this wouldn't turn out great but I'm glad the show actually looks decent, maybe except for some of the still shots towards the end |
| So this anime is supposed to be "full of misunderstandings". Is that really present here? |
| Wow, that was pretty awful. I could've at least sat through it as a laugh if the MC wasn't an insufferable twat. |
| Of course MC is a socially awkward dweeb, and of course MFC is the cutest girl in school, top grades, amazing athlet and dreamy gamer, all at once. And OF COURSE MC has a childhood friend for the upcoming love triangle (possibly my most hated trope). Know your audience and what they fantasize about. Sigh. This was still fun tho. I actually laughed out loud within the first minute, at the cicada randomly dropping from the tree. Nothing super special too see here, but the double rejection was nice and i had a few laughs along the way. But... A banana peel? Really? |

What kind of tho? Is it romance based or just comedy misunderstandings? |
Robiiii said: All of it since the source is romance related. Because of jumping into conclusion, well timed appearance and poor choice of word. All of them did it with the best interest for other which make it hilarious since some character know they make the wrong choice but not when they did it.NeoAnkara said: To put it simply yes.

| Ok, so, liked the topic, liked the characters, loved the references, must be the first anime ever with some RTA references, but OMG THAT GENERIC MAIN CHARACTER RUINS IT ALL. Useless good for nothing school-days-face kid that gets all the chicks!!! |

| Had some good punchlines through visuals, like the boxer punching him back into reality. And anyone plays for fun, even pro gamers when outside of training and torunaments. Why would you play games if not for fun. Also, dat chick playing GG Xrd reminds me of Genshiken The MC is straight up autistic though. |
| >true gamers >play shitty mobage >play CS 1.6 (these shitters don't even have CSGO smh) with controller stick >nobody plays dota >MC is casual fag and who the fuck label themselves "gamers" in 2017 wtf thats so cringe. another MC this season with shitty seiyuu, but that end plot twist was quite funny, gonna keep watching if it's focus on comedy-game instead of shitty romance |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
Ahegyao said: Love the actual game references. Too bad they had to resort to not-Granblue and not CS for a couple. Lelouch0202 said: I can't exactly get behind Amano's reasoning for turning down the invitation. It's not like the club is focused on competitive gaming. Tendo herself said he didn't necessarily have to be good at games or anything, not to mention he threw away a place he'd really feel at home with people he could actually be friends with. I get that he wants to play games for fun but there was nothing obstructing that. Well, he'll probably come around. It's hard to feel comfortable surrounded by highly competitive people when you yourself aren't. Even I feel out of place online from my old guild when I stopped doing hardcore raiding in MMO's. True, but Tendou did say it didn't matter to them so I think if he had given it the chance, he'd have fit in fine considering they are people who love games just like he does. I mean, he is eventually gonna join the club. XD |
 |
| Blazblue and Guilty Gear though Also an Under Night in Birth Poster :/ |
| Worst MC of the season so far, complete beta male who can barely complete a sentence without stuttering. Average first episode, side characters seem interesting at least and hopefully the focus is on comedy as the romance feels like it will be the most generic thing possible. |
| i have read the original and honestly im not expecting anything from the anime adapt. the animation looks cheap, the beautiful Tendou Karen is not a beauty at all in this. the art resemble KonoSuba anime with a lot of effort, i thought the studio that adapt this is Deen. anyway, i think they adapt the story quite good and i actually quite enjoyed it. and the Cast is doing a good job too. |
 |
Gun Reference. Good first episode. |
The battle is over.  Show respect for the fallen who fought so bravely. |
| Dude was totally playing a mix between COD and CS. I will never miss that A Short from Dust_2. Also awping like KennyS or JW. |
| Tendou is obviously not used to being rejected, so she acted like a bitch because Amano rejected her offer to join the club. Ugh... |
| Lmfao that was gold. I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. Got some good laughs out of it from Konosuba level of trolling XD Definitely looking forward to it XD |

Lunium said: Anathor said: Nothing special tbh. The fact that the main topic are games has me interested though. Promising CS:GO player right there  Actually the game they played together seems to be Call Of Duty, judging by the killstreaks on the right hand side of the screen and the fact that they're playing with controllers. The game the guy was playing solo on the PC was CS:GO though ;) M8 this is totally de_dust2's CT spawn. http://imgur.com/RHMpSXJ |
| Most enjoyable first episode, and i loved it when he declined to be in the club. Can't wait for next ep. |
