I can consider the 11th eps. is the finale, it's more emotional than this one but this also was good and funny (except fucking fanservice), summary this show the best one for me with fun among all animes in this summer but need better end than this, hope for a 2nd season it will be cool. Idk why the ED was changed in eps. 9 & 10 but they were so good.

I give it at all 8/10

Soooo.... Karen is a masochist lol.

If they managed another climax like they did in episode 6, i would have given this a 9/10, but this rather mundane result after that point, and inconclusive finale, dropped my opinion of it by a fair bit.

This show's glory was it's ability to embrace comedic misunderstandings, and take it to a beautiful level of absurdity that ascended it above all other attempts at the same type of comedy, and then it just lost it's spark after.

Unfortunate.

As usual : anyone saying the misunderstandings is a flaw, were watching the wrong anime from the start. THIS IS NOT A FLAW, IT WAS THE PURPOSE AND INTENT FROM THE BEGINNING.

This, 100%. Even down to the last episodes in one of the last scenes, the Aguri-Amano pairing is just too adorable for words. The scenes with those two this episode were literally the best parts of this episode and made the happiest out of everything.

Also, 11 episodes and NOW they start talking about actually video games? LMFAO!

And Chikai was just as useless and pointless and personalityless and didn't need to be there as much as last episode.

Overall, story wise, the show was okay, but boy I really enjoyed the humor and character antiques
Unfortunate that some people still watch it to the end expecting for a more serious plot. Their choices though

I thought the last episode was weak. Actually, for the last few episodes, it definitely went down. I remember watching this and feeling the cliff hangers, the energy, the surprise, this was one of the few anime this season where I was dying for the next episode and rewatching episodes for those outrageous scenes. The last few episodes have lacked that a lot and the last episode for this season was so so.

It seems to be like "oh crap, we forgot, the main subject title is gamers so we gotta talk about games again!" right before the show ends.

Last episode 5/10 for how much I enjoyed it.

There was some slight relationship closure but it ended weak. Disappointed.

It doesn't change the fact that the misunderstandings were overdone and got boring after a while. If you plan to base your whole plot on misunderstandings you gotta make sure they feel natural and they are actually funny. That was not the case here.

They weren't boring up until ep6.

You clearly lack understanding of how making fiction/entertainment works. The issue is not WHAT is presented, so much as HOW it's presented. They lost their flair after ep6, so it just got meh. They could have set their sights even higher and made an even more insane misunderstanding climax for the finale, and that would have made this anime go down in the history books.

They screwed up the second half of this anime into lackluster nichijou stuff and it makes me sad, because i've never laughed so hard to an anime in my life before gamers ep6 came out; i never found misunderstandings to be exceptionally funny either (usually just moderately amusing) until this anime.

I didn't say you had to find it funny; you said "you gotta make sure they feel natural" which ironically, is what i was right from the beginning praising this anime for: how the misunderstandings, silly they may be, all make total logical sense, despite them being stupid and presumptuous. There wasn't a single contrived improbable misunderstanding, all of these chars are idiots, and they acted like it, and sold it perfectly. You made a pseudo-objective statement in a subjective response, to an originally objective statement.

I wasn't expressing opinion so much as poking holes in a conclusion you most likely got via emotional association or other personal correlative means that do not measure the entertainment itself, as these are biases.

. . .
I'm not an elitist or any bs like that you might seem to think of me as being, because i'm not. I'm someone who understands the technicalities as well as the heart and soul, as well as the many possible interpretations of all kinds of fiction. There's no high horse, fiction is a passion of mine, and i seek to understand it on a deep level, which most don't bother. I'm not sure how old you think i am but lol, you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm a philosopher and metaphysicist who studies fiction as a hobby, not some kid arguing with you.

Wow what a garbage fire of an ending, if i wanted to ruminate about spending money on games... well i don't, as any actual gamer has done so at some point in their lives and imo, this kinda show is going to be watched by people who are very likely to be gamers. not to say some will watch it and be amazed at the epihany, I felt it was a waste of an episode.

The series started strong and the high point for me was when he
beyond that the romance just started getting more and more uninteresting and a massive hang up on misunderstanding, which are funny and entertaining in moderation, but when taken to the extremes like this get frustrating.

Erg I was looking forward to this show, now I regret watching it.

This is literally the only episode that lives up to it's titles.

All in seriousness though, this episode was okay. I mean the characters talking about DLC in games. Also, the onsen scene... I didn't care about it that much.

Overall, the show was something else. 6/10

Oh I forgot to mention.... I could understand Karen (I refuse to call her Tendou for "reasons") and Tasuku misunderstanding the friendship of Aguri and Keita but why Chiaki? I still don't get that

What the hell kinda ending was that? Up to episode 11, there is plenty of buildup that could have easily been wrapped in one more episode. Episode 12: abandons all prior plot points; resolves nothing from previous episodes; and then runs off with a side story that would have been more appropriate as OVA material.

Basically, this was yet another 'misunderstanding' that got us viewers as Episode 11 was more or less the more proper finale than this and this finale more like an OVA. Lol, found this back on 9anime so figured why not share it here.
It was a fairly enjoyable finale to the show, to be honest, with the important gaming talks which really touched my kokoro and some excessive onsen fan service. Aguri was just savage as ever, criticizing games and gamers in front of four avid ones and actually managing to hit them back quite hard repeatedly. Tendou, Chiaki and Tasuki, in all honesty, made it all the more worse but it was an awesome counter-attack by Keita there. Lol, the first two minutes of the episode though were seriously useless and futile and it was even more so that we didn't any explanations on it. Well, I didn't personally mind it much so I was completely alright with it.
Overall, a 4/5 to this finale episode and a generous 7.5/10 from my part because as poor as the storyline and cliche-like it was, it was an show I enjoyed greatly and looked forward to every week.

I want to start off by saying that this is solely my opinion, and im not knocking anyone who felt differently than I did.

I enjoyed episodes 1-11, they werent great, but were averagely enjoyable and something that could get a giggle out of me at least once an episode.

However, episode 12 was in my opinion one of the biggest waste of time of this seasons animes. Completely unrelated to the story, pointless fanservice (from someone who enjoys a little fanservice here and there), uninspired final moments, unresolved issues. I honestly hated it. Ruined the show for me. /rant.

Having 11 crap episodes just not enough for them, so there is this episode 12, the ending, with a lof of fan service and an odd way to end the series.
I didn't even watch this whole episode, only skip here and there and that's my best decision ever.

The whole gaming conversation went on for so long. Took up the whole episode. Made up for the lack of focus on games the rest of the series, but it was too much. No conclusion or more progress at least.

The most funny thing about the episode is the message that EP 12 itself is like a DLC and clearly Amano represents the people that want a 'refund' for this episode because it really does nothing for the series besides the fan service bath scene LOL. Also i must admit, Aguri was also striking my heart with all those comments about gaming T.T

Anyway, i liked this episode enough for a 3.5/5 or 7/10. Also i'm gonna glad they used the first ending, not saying the second was bad...just it was a good way to end it.

Edit: Oh and one more thing.........#TeamChiaki XD

Nice final episode. It might not have felt like a finale, but I thought it worked for what it was. The episode was basically a DLC...and it was all about discussing DLC. How meta!

Overall...I'm not sure if I'd give this an 8 or 9. The first 7 episodes were amazing. Lots of fun, cute pairings, natural characters and lots of "nothing humor"...stuff that I really enjoy. MC and FMC were both likable, and I kept coming back to see their interactions. Wasn't necessarily deep...but then again I wouldn't look at this as a serious romance anyway. Sometimes pairings like this echo reality more than the usual cliches.

I think it started to go downhill when Chiaki joined the love triangle. It just felt completely unnecessary and awkward, and the fifth wheel dynamic really hurt the comedy, and detracted from the main romance. This was more obvious last episode, when that horrible little shit of a sister kept getting in the way of the double date, while Karen basically just let it happen. Chiaki and Konoha were probably my least favorite characters in this show, even if the former initially was a nice part of the comedy. Would have been nicer seeing her remain as a neutral party, and not crush/fall for characters in relationships.

Karen definitely the best character though...and my god that end card. That end card...my god...my god that end card.

I disagree, this was the best episode by far, the anime itself was a 5/10 until this one IMO. This was the only episode other than the first two that focused specifically on gaming and there was actually some decent commentary about the current game industries practices and pricing.

It was definitely a relief from the 8 episodes of stupid relationship stuff. Even after meeting the "pros" in the gaming club, they are never heard from again, even after the foreshadowing at the start with tendou losing everything, it never happened and there was far too much focus away from gaming itself.

Only up until the end did gaming come back into the picture and I really agreed with Amano when he stated that gaming is open to wastefulness. We see it all the time with steam sales and what not. I also liked that they were trying to convince a non-gamer about the value of games.

So yeah I get why people who enjoyed the last 8 episodes wouldn't like this one, but I thought it was by far the best one. I was hoping to get a gaming related show but I got a relationship show with gaming as a back drop.

Ah so last week really was the finale was wondering what this one would be, turns out it was a enjoyable oddly placed OVA ish episode that reminded me on what initially liked about this show games!

gamers was alright i was entertained by the cast of characters while i had some fun with the chaotic misunderstanding it sorta went on too long and went off tracks from what i thought was some of the better aspects of the show like the gaming aspect/ references ( and man we barely got to see Guilty Gear player girl ).

episode did sting a little to close to home in our current year we've come a long way since the start of horse armor DLC while some aspects have gotten better other have gotten worse ,Witcher 3 is a perfect example of DLC done right for a already completed game then you have stuff like the DOA were you can easily spend up to a grand if you want to get all the additional content which is a rare case but true at least Aguri came around to it in the end even when she was sorta right lol.

flat 7/10 for me

Ep 1 - 11 is the Main game
Ep. 12 DLC

Ep.11 more viable ending for this anime
Ep.12 just literally talk about DLC and ironic that this episode 12 is more DLC of the Anime industry

It's finally over. I'm so happy, I could cry. This episode felt like it was written by the gaming subreddit. I'm sure at this moment they're over their jerking themselves off over the anti-dlc conversation.
Overall this felt like someone that's never played games themselves interpretation of gamers. It abused the same shitty joke over and over again that I'm pretty sure it counts as crime against humanity. It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, bad writing is bad writing. I envy the people that enjoyed this.

So the MC to this show was Eiichi all along, lol.
Whilst this was a good way to end the series without going into the next arcs, it did feel like more of an OVA or in their case, an add-on content episode.

The show itself started great, but an excess of the misunderstandings kind of dragged things out by around episode 8-10. Things got frustrating just watching everyone flail around in their relationships.

Kind of interesting in seeing how everything ends, but not really wanting to see all the misunderstandings blowing up all around.

This was a moderately funny episode, but I feel like I just watched 12 episodes of a romance anime without any substantial payoff. Especially when you consider that they're all officially in relationships by this point (except for Chiaki), yet we haven't seen them do anything but hold hands.

"But isn't it hilarious how the show acknowledges that the last episode has nothing to do with the main plot?" No... Not really. Not that I was really expecting anything amazing, because this is an adaptation of material still in publishing, and it's also not arc based... But it still feels half-hearted.

Well, I did get a few good laughs from pretty much every episode. Maybe that was worth it.
