For something I wrote off as nothing more than a lowly harem series, this anime gave me alot to talk about.

Tomozaki is the best gamer in Japan of Attack Families, a Smash Bros style game of which he puts alot of effort into to the point of obsession which makes him believe life isn't worth much, when he finds out his main rival is Aoi Hinami, the two argue with Tomozaki calling out Hinami for taking life in easy mode while Hinami calls out Tomozaki for not even trying, Hinami wins the argument by saying, "don't blame the game for your failure" which prompts Tomozaki to try the game of life, with Hinami coaching him, Tomozaki discovers a side to himself he didn't know he had and with a colourful cast of characters, Tomozaki is on the fast track to being a normie.
I was wrong for calling the anime a harem as it suits romantic comedy better but with the female cast prominent in the marketing it's hard not to see Tomozaki not falling into the harem protagonist role especially with how well he adapts to socializing leading to the satisfactory climax of Tomozaki Uno-reverse carding Hinami; it's hard not to see Hinami as being incredibly manipulative as it's obvious she has serious issues as she refuses to drop her mask even once, this creates friction with Minami who is competing with her and especially Tomozaki, Hinami completely abandons him when Tomozaki calls out the morality of her methods, season two will likely resolve the conflict holding her back but it's hard not to see Hinami as being nothing more than a petty control freak who gets off on the fact that she has emotional control of her biggest rival, there's layers to this anime waiting to be found and it shocked me to find out how deep it goes, even if the messages they want to give especially when explained in a gaming context are completely off the mark.
Dub is competent but there is an over abundance of current generation terms that break the immersion somewhat.
Final Verdict: An anime I expected nothing from ended up giving me alot to talk about and explore even if I don't necessarily agree with everything they bring up.
