Synopsis

After an accident that killed his father and left his sister with a disability, Shun Tokinoya's mental duress has led to him refraining from online gaming. Now a model high school student who feels remorse over his past lifestyle, Shun works part-time in the cybercafe owned by his childhood friend Nozomi Inatsuki in order to support his family.

Despite this, an incident pushes Shun back into the world of online gaming. Following the sudden retirement of all players of FOX ONE—Nozomi's father’s esports team—Shun learns that the Inatsuki family is in severe debt. In order to repay the money they owe, Shun reluctantly agrees to participate in an online game tournament: Xaxerion Championship.

Joined by their classmate Akito Sendou, the three of them scout for talented players to rebuild the team. Although they are lucky to find two promising additions to FOX ONE, it is too soon to celebrate: if Shun does not let go of his guilty conscience, the makeshift team stands no chance at winning the tournament.

I like this show, and I'm writing this because I think there's a perspective a lot of the negative reviews are missing.

To start with the obvious: the esports game they play. I'm not a big gamer so maybe that's why this didn't bother me. There's no denying the 3D game graphics looked bad, I personally had no problem with that. But if you're looking for a show because you want the esports version of sports anime like Blue Lock or Haikyuu then this show isn't for you. They don't go in depth on any game details or strategy and the game scenes aren't visually appealing. ...

Mixed Feelings
Protocol Rain is an interesting show, the things it does right, it does decently well.
What it does wrong though it does very, very, poorly.

I will say this opinion is exacerbated by me being a counter strike player, which this anime was seemingly based on as one of the maps is a layout copy of the bomb defusal map dust 2; the tactics, gameplay, and general gamesense felt atrocious to me, while they were able to capture team dynamic, storyline, individual player thought process, associated with E-sports.
It utterly fails to display player skill.

TL:DR Protocol Rain feels like the delusions of grandeur of a silver who thinks ...

Um... So this show was kinda whatever. I liked the premise from what I heard of it; a guy who had a gaming addiction in the past gives up gaming entirely to take care of his family after a tragic accident takes place. But surprise surprise, he gets back into gaming in an attempt to become an MLG pro gamer that can support his family with tier 3 subs and Raid Shadow Legends sponsorships! The game in question is a generic MMO FPS, aka a game that I have NO nostalgia for. I'm sure if this is a type of game that you enjoy, you ...
