Gamers!

Oct 26, 2018

Soooooooooooo.....Yup......Gamers is the anime i'll be reviewing today and...It has an exclamation mark at the end, as you can probably see..If you're blind i'm sorry can't help you with that.

And where to start really? Maybe with the story? Yeah let's go with that and see how it plays out..

Ok then, the story is about gam...No it isn't actually. You see my dear friends this anime apart from the first and maybe the last episode where they vaguely talk about games, is a rom-com kinda deal. So the anime starts with Amano Keita-one of the most basic lads in anime-who,one fateful day,meets the Gamer Club President Tendo Karen..And SHE is not basic at all..In fact i'd say she is a solid fucking 8.

Now before you call me names you'll regret cause i'm one to bite back and bite hard, i mention the rankings because Karen falls for the beta male and basic as fuck protagonist..What a surprise, right? Well no..Cause Karen as it happens invited Keita to her club and the next thing you know is he rejected her with a killer smile and that was that..She was head over heels for him. And that is actually very realistic cause people always want what they can't have..It becomes an obssession of some sorts which leads to broken marriages and one parent families and kids starting cocaine and robbing marts and raping old ladies in dark alleys..You know, the small things.

Then Karen starts stalking the brave knight while he gets to live a life full of naked and willing otaku gamer girls, who are there to please his needs, no matter how sick they are..I guess sick here means playing a video game other than Candy Crush?!

And from there starts a whatfuckery the world has yet to witness the likes of. All you need to know is that there are couples and every single individual thinks that their other half is cheating on them when in reality they don't..I wonder if the writers actually wanted to make an anime about a swingers club but the studio wanted to make it more family friendly,which is another word for no fun.

Oh and remember that club i mentioned earlier? Well that club and indeed it's 2 other senior members are nowhere to be seen after the first episode, which is a shame really cause one of them was a girl and let me tell you that bird had titties the size of a planet.

Back to the love octagon..Other than the 2 cast members i mentioned earlier there are also some other characters such as Tasuku, a former geeky gamer who somehow turned into the Japanese equivelant of Brad Pitt. Then we have Aguri, Tasuku’s pink headed girlfriend and Chiaki, a lone wolf type of gamer and last but least Chiaki’s younger sister whose name i can't be bothered to remember or search cause i have better things to do, like ending my life probably..All you need to know about her is that she's there to add a little slut spice into the already fucked up mix of gangbangery.

So a fucked up story NOT about gamers apart from the fact that they just identify as such,a cast built just to see how far a swinging club can go and what you end up with is a fun anime to watch..And i really can't put my finger on it, cause it really shouldn't work, but it's a joy to watch. Granted the title and the story on paper are misleading but then again it's still a silly anime and one you can watch after, say, binge watching a heavy duty series.

The characters are by no means boring with their little shenanigans and quirks. Every character has something to show about....Apart from development that is. So if you're on a look for an anime with characters that are interesting and show some actual growth then this is not the one for you. This is meant mostly as a break from these anime, that's the only way it can make sense in my mind.

As far as animation and music go things are pretty much standard. The characters are your standard anime fellows and the backgrounds are nicely done...It's a 2017 lineup anime so production value is very good..Unless you happen to stumble upon an anime with FUCKIN' CGI  in it.

Music and VA are there surely..Opening and closing songs are very nicely done to keep in touch with the game theme..Even though the anime is about imaginary cheating.

To sum it up then, Gamers is by no means a great anime and after 10 mins of watching it you'll forget everything about it. But it serves its' purpose if you want something fun and light before you go and watch Tokyo Ghoul for example.

Should you watch it? Yeah, why not..Just for the laughs while having a nice soothing drink it's ideal.
