Generic. Generic means something that has been overdone to the point that it becomes predictable/obvious. Generic is something that comes off as cheap or as a knockoff or really ridiculous. A lot of romcom anime tend to fall under the term, "generic." Whether it's another one of those trashy ecchi-harems where the MC is as oblivious and dense as the ocean towards the horny girls that want to share a bed with him or those predictable battle shounens where you 100% KNOW that the MC will NEVER die and the villain ALWAYS has a tragic backstory.
Is "Gamers!" generic and just another one of those silly romcoms? Yeah, it is. Does generic 100% = BAD?! No, not always. In fact, generic CAN be fun sometimes! Generic romcoms can be fun to watch if you're someone like me who watches mainly action, fantasy, scifi, supernatural series and want a taste of something different for a change of pace. Even as someone that usually prefers their anime to be kind of dark and violent at times, watching something generic can be really enjoyable! While it has issues such as SUPPOSEDLY being about video game otaku which then switches over to a 100% romcom and tosses away the otaku aspect to the many, and I mean MANY misunderstandings and love drama, I still don't "HATE" this anime.
Things got repetitive here and there but the anime still managed to make me laugh and smile a fair amount of the time. I actually thought that this was a REALLY cute romcom! Not as good as similar anime like Wotakoi of course but, still a fun light hearted watch nonetheless! If only it were much longer though. What a dang shame.
I highly recommend this to people that want a cute little romcom or something that is good to watch as a breather or can be used to perk you up whenever you're feeling extra grumpy! Sure, it's not perfect and yeah, it doesn't do anything "new" or "exciting" but, that's not always a bad thing. At least, not in my book. You don't even have to be a video game otaku to enjoy this series either! While there are plenty of video game references they're just there to make you point you finger at them and laugh. If you want an anime that is similar to Gamers! then, give Wotakoi a watch! It's also about video game otaku~
