"Would you like to be with me... in the Gamers Club?"
Amano Keita is a perfectly mediocre loner with no particular distinguishing features other than his love for games. One day, his school's prettiest girl and Gamer Club President Tendou Karen suddenly calls out to him. That moment changes Keita's life forever, as he now finds himself in the midst of a romcom with beautiful girl gamers... or, well, that's how it usually goes. Not with him, however.

Gamers! is another anime about a loner who ends up befriending a small group of gamers, and even features some footage of games (though it also features some fictional, non-existing games). Similarly, a love triangle (kind of) forms between some of the main characters.
Gamers! isn't as good as High Score Girl and while it certainly lacks the historical, cultural, and nostalgic values that High Score Girl has, it still offers some social commentary and insight as to why some gamers are who they are.
I mean, I'm a gamer first and foremost so I am semi-actively on the hunt for these types of shows.

One of the pretty unique stuffs at that time, especially the character actions. Basically the same old stereotype personalities are presented but with pretty unique take on their action, emotion, etc. Full of potential, albeit filled with a rapid succession of "misunderstanding" plots.

This anime is not about gaming! Its about character who like games and likable at that. I found the unexpected sometimes forceful story entertaining and fun, and the anime despite all its mistakes, made me laugh a lot. If you want a romantic comedy of a happy, go for it. With all of its flaws, and critical fails, its a fun, surprising, exciting anime with creative original humor, and lovable characters.

Unfortunately, it's title is Gamers! when the amount of focus is quite limited, it should have been called "Relationships" Games are merely a pretext for the relationships which aren't properly explained from the get go, some are just feelings that the characters themselves are unaware of why they have them. For Fans.

I liked it.
It was sometimes annoying, sometimes enjoying, but overall, I would watch it again if I had a chance. Light comedy & romance, very pleasant. Although everytime the situation about relationship was finally clear, it got became a mess all over again because of simple misunderstandings. I understand it's how rom-com works, but in the end, I felt like there will be no end of that. + moeees.

This isn't a club anime about gaming (although that does exist, just as an initial plot element.) Instead this is a light hearted RomCom with lots of exaggerated humour i.e. synchronized reactions and goofy face animations often during said reactions. Also there is one almost love triangle between the protagonist and two of the female leads, but it is never heavy emotionally because of it. What I enjoy about the light romance of this show is the multiple imagined love triangles/affairs that are made by all the characters at different points manifesting from the constant misconceptions they all make, which is the main source of comedy in this show. If you like a show with a lot of silly comedy and a soft romance element, this a perfect show for you.

Went in expecting a love polygon related to a club, but thank god the club was just a plot device to get characters to meet. Great story about love misunderstandings the hilarity that ensues.

A pretty shallow rom-com with cute characters and some nice humour here and there.
The references to games (not only video games) are nice - I especially liked the episode about the "Half their Life Game".
If you like love polygons, a lot of silly misunderstandings, moe characters and a lot of cliché this might be for you.

Expected a lot less from this one but enjoyed it very much in the end. The story is pretty cliche with a non-ending but there are many (predictable) twists in the romance. Everything is done with an appropriate amount of comedy. I loved it.
If you're a fan of light-hearted romcom, this is perfect for you.

Initially this anime looked to be very appealing with competitive gaming, but quickly turned into a cliche rom-com. There are lots of laughs to be found here, but was hoping for something a bit different based on how this started. The comedy and gamer aspect are good, but the romance part can be cliche.

Surprisingly well written with realistically flawed characters based on a contrarian premise that was, in fact, the most reasonable one. Instead of being a show that 'justifies' the hardcore gamers, this is a show that adds a level of realism to the 'casual' yet dedicated gamers. In the end, a 'misunderstandings' based romcom with gaming as the 'premise', but focuses on the story while being 'generally inclusive' of the setting... ...I really liked this show, far more than I expected to, and I could genuinely empathize with all of the characters. Recommended for people who like their romcom to have angst and require a bit of real thought.

This had some moments of clever execution and creative transitions for a show with a generic sounding premise. Dare I say it, it doesn't have the right to be so good. While you get pulled into the story by baiting you with familiar games it at least makes sure you stay for its love polygon filled with misunderstandings.

This anime is more about the people who happen to be "Gamers", rather than games themselves.
However, it is used quite well as a plot device to motivate the premise. All the characters (except the male lead) had personality, were fun, and quite enjoyable. Although, the MASSIVE miscommunication and assumptions that the main characters make can be quite annoying at times, it was this and the interactions between the characters that make this as fun at it was!
There wasn't an episode where I didn't have a HUGE grin across my face. That being said, although it is a 12 episode anime, the last episode wasn't essential to the overall story It is completely skip-able and was more of an OVA-style episode that mildy tries convince viewer that DLCs in games aren't all that bad. (Yeah, right..)
Overall a fun and decent watch and HIGHLY recommended to "Gamers!".
