Kami wa Game ni Ueteiru.

When Leoleshea, a dragon god, is accidentally awoken from her sleep within a glacier, she demands this era's very best game player be brought before her. After a year of waiting, she meets Fay Theo Philus, an apostle—a human granted a supernatural ability called an Arise and thus given permission to challenge the gods in games. Fay and Leoleshea realize they share a passion for games, whether it be with cards or a battle of wits with a god. Declaring that she likes this human, Leoleshea allows Fay to call her "Leshea" and team up with her to play in the gods' games.

Ever since the gods gave humans the ability to challenge them, they have promised to grant any wish after ten victories. Leshea desires to become an official god again, as she previously descended to the human world and lost her status as a divine being. Fay has only one goal: to find the woman who long ago taught him how to play games.

Though Leshea and Fay quickly prove themselves to be a capable team, the gods will not allow them ten victories so easily: every game has its own unique conditions and hidden rules. Together, the duo will have to act as a perfect team to finally achieve their goals.

Preliminary (13/13 eps)

100% would recommend!
It's funny, charismatic and a noteworthy place of nostalgia. You have a mixture of games from all who want to play to the message it brings, that no matter the losses you encounter, it's always fun as long as you have someone to play with. Anyone who states this is mid, has never felt alone. I love this anime because of the people you can be engaged with. This anime is far from boring and in my opinion better then some of the anime people find interesting. If you want a play by play of games, a hint of memories forgotten, and ... a sense of no matter what you choose your own fate. This is the anime for you! This is how I truly feel about it. I don't understand why it's rated so low when so much effort and time has been shown in this anime. I'm so happy that the Manga is still going and I can't wait for season 2 . Please make it come soon! 🙏

Mixed Feelings

There's some true regarding a number of commercial, generic and fill-out season anime tropes about Kami was Game ni Ueteiru.

The main character is generic in appearance, he's surrounded by side characters who are, of course, beautiful girls romantically interested in him at different levels, and he has average behavior seen in virtually all kinds of shows today. It doesn't go all the way through generic, but it's almost there.

The series started very slow and with a boring story, I remember dropping it many times, and sometimes, when I was watching, I was so distracted that I couldn't remember half of what had just happened.

What ... surprised me, when I started re-watching at bedtime, was that the last third of the 13 episodes showed a whole different and interesting pace. If they maintained that kind of level it would be awesome, but given the current format, I can give only 7/10.

For ppl saying it's a copy of No Game no Life (another one I dropped), I think it's just incidentally, as the theme is game-related.

Not Recommended

Good
- The audio is good.
- The games are not boring. Episode 2 and 4 had a lot of action.
- The premise is easy to understand.
- I like the purple outlines on the characters, it makes it look like No Game No Life.
- The show is silly

Bad
- The main character looks generic. I want my complicated hair in anime.
- The main character is generic on the inside too. He has zero personality or likes/dislikes
... - The main character’s facial expressions are really limited. He only has the default face on all the time.
- The main character is so smart that he knows the answers without any buildup and the viewer is often given no opportunity to figure it out. No clues. In episode [spoiler] how did he know [spoiler]? This is true for all the episodes except one.
- None of the characters undergo any character development
- The characters are all one-dimensional ie they have one character trait and thats it.
- This show is supposed to be about games but at the end (it’s supposed to be the climax) they just start throwing rules out the window and things go unexplained (e.g. the dice roll) so the show becomes chaotic and my brain turned off.
- In episode 4 there is an static effect on the screen to make it look like a flawed TV broadcast which I don’t think is good. I think its a negative. At first I thought my internet or my graphics card was malfunctioning, but after seeing it repeatedly I realized it was intentional.

Plot/Story: 0.5/2
Music: 2/2
Characters: 0/2
Animation/Art: 1/2

Total: “3.5 out of 8” but were going to make it “3.5 out of 10” because I felt like it. (the show does "I felt like it" too)
