"Missunderstandings" everywhere. You could basically sum up the whole show with these two words. To cut to the chase, the characters are really bad and 1-dimensional. This was one of many griping issues that was bugging me while watching this show; the characters are all dumb/intentionally idiotic (and I don’t mean this lightly), and the cast consists of your run-of-the-mill cliche character tropes you’ll find in any romcom anime. You’ll have your "wimpy loser MC” who is voiced by your average female shounen VA, the "prettiest girl in class that has a crush on the wimpy MC” cause for SOME REASON wimps are chick magnets,
...
the "annoying girl with the annoying voice" (you’ll know which one), the "dude that is really popular but likes to hangout with loser MC", and the list goes on.
To add on top of the lame cast, the show never seems to go anywhere. The only thing that seems to be driving the plot forward would be the “misunderstandings” that would occur between two of the characters. This misunderstand could be anything: Character A was caught being close to Character B, Character B shares a drink with Character C and Character A sees this and is surprised that B and C are close (even though in reality it was mutual and not in a way of showing lovely emotions towards each other), Character C thinks Character A hate them thus undergoes depression, THE LOST GOES ON AND IT’S ANNOYING! The whole foundation of the plot in Gamers are the misunderstandings that happen in the show, it’s the only thing moving the plot. Forget good writing, forget good drama, forget good comedy, they were basically grabbing shit outta there asses and hoping anything could help move the plot forward. What a joke.
Rant out of the way, I'd like to say a few things: I don't have a clue as to why I stuck with this show for 5 tremendously bad episodes and I guess I was really hoping I'd actually get something good outta this show. Instead of romance and comedy, I got stale jokes and bad writing. Basically unoriginal cliche romcom horse arse. To be honest, the thing that drove me to stop watching this show the most was the characters. The characters were so bad it got unbearable; I was at a point in the show that I didn’t care about the plot anymore and was just focusing on how utterly terrible the characters were. It was just so...BAD! Words can’t describe how miserable each episode was, watching as the characters go on their daily lives of looping through the same problems over and over again and never learning. The characters have peas for brains! As for the art, it was mediocre AT BEST but wasn't too bad. I’d expect better quality though, the colors and designs of the setting and characters were bland and boring to look at. The Sound wasn't too bad either but not noticably great, though I did kinda enjoy the OP. The OP was catchy and I enjoyed the references to other games (such as PUBG, Super Smash Bros, and Undertale). Besides all of that though, this show could be summed up as a terrible mess or the crap I take after eating the local Chipotle burrito. I don't recommend this show to anyone who wants REAL romance with an ACTUAL plot, but if you like romcom cliches then go ahead and watch.
