Best Slice of Life Anime About Gamers


Slice of Life anime can cover a number of topics. Sometimes it features magical people living ordinary lives. Other times, it’s as simple as a high school romance. Knowing that there is a slight overlap between anime fans and gamers, it makes sense that there are several slice-of-life anime featuring gamers in their everyday lives.




Sometimes these players grow up with games and it helps them connect with others. Other times, people who have cut themselves off from the real world to play games are convinced to give the real world another chance. Sometimes magic is involved, but sometimes not. Slice-of-life is a varied genre, just like these ten anime about gamers.
