Optic Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Surprised there isn't a thread for this yet.. No Game No Life is a solid title. Sora and Shiro use their amazing chemistry to challenge other races on behalf of the human race in another parallel world. Alas, still no sign of a second series with that open-ended ending. The American release was released by Sentai FIlmworks in August with an English dub and it looks good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just wondering, how would you rate this series? I remember when it first aired, but I chose to opt out of watching it due to having so many other things to watch. Also, if you have seen Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo, how does it compare to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 It's a MUST watch. Highly recommend it. It's a very funny title, there is no violence (it's a rule of the alternate world) and I got hooked instantly within the first two episodes. Sora is a very solid main character, there is a lot of focus on strategy during their game challenges. Lots of situations where you think "Oh gosh how are they going to get through this one?" and almost each time there is a satisfying solution that pulls them through each diverse challenge. My only reservation is that the pastel colours of the parallel world they're pulled into might make your eyes bleed. But it does settle down and you get used to it. Sorry I haven't seen Mondaiji-tachi so I can't compare it to that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Alright, thanks for the info! I'll see about watching it after Symphogear then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I tried it and it wasn't for me, but it sure is pretty. Just look at this figure. I almost bought it just because of how much I like the way it looks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I tried it and it wasn't for me, but it sure is pretty. Just look at this figure. Ohhh now that's a stunning Shiro figure. But I think I prefer the Kotobukiya figure... mainly because I think the chibis are sort of distracting. As silly as the show was. Would love to see a Sora figure though. Or one where you could put the two together side by side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought about buying this one, too. But it's really hard to justify when I don't even care for the series or character. i mean that hasnt stopped me before but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_am_an_0taku Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I can confer, this show is pretty amazing. The show features lots of comedy, drama, and some suspense. This show is a very very very very very recommended show to watch. There needs to be a 2nd season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I'm only on episode 6, but its pretty good so far. It is basically Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?, but with much better execution. Also, Sora is pretty well made, and Shiro is alright as well. I would probably rate them like so: Sora Steph Shiro Jibril (not really enough screen time to rate her well though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_am_an_0taku Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 well jibril may not get enough screen time, but the amount of details they out into her personality and the way that that specific species thirst for knowledge. cause the thirst of knowledge is real! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So, I just finished the show. Wow... it completely amazed me how well they pulled this show off. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, Jibril finally got more screen time, so she does move up to the number two spot. Also, Steph kinda slacked in character development near the end, so it goes like this: Sora Jibril Shiro Steph Not to say I didn't like Shiro or Steph, its just that Sora and Jibril were much better characters overall. Really hope for a season 2 as well... Also, I remember back when this was airing, its hard to believe that it was over a year ago now. Would love to see a Sora figure though. Or one where you could put the two together side by side. Really wish there was a Sora and Jibril one, but that one looks really nice though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiffon Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Very interesting anime, Sora and Shiro are both awesome characters and it is worth to see this just to see their strategies for each game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyePotatoes Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Finished this anime a long time ago. It is pretty good. I was hoping for a second season thoThe combination of Sora and Shiro is pretty much compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ ] Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I think so as well, the second season will forever be a myth. Book 3 is of NGNL is the start of the end of the series. Can't wait for Book 4, looks like new things are in store. Just jugging from the cover lol. Edited January 29, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aren Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) This anime was perfect, and I know the word perfect is a little bland so ill go in a bit more with the detail. From episode 1 I was hooked, anyone here knows what I'm talking about. Now I'm a big fan of art in anime and the character design, background detail etc, and the way they designed the anime with red line instead of black was very interesting at least to me. Anyway onto the actual plot. What can I say, cute, genius, loli imoto? Ive already heard enough but when you add an exciting protagonist(shiro) who leaves you on the edge of your seat every time he so much as breathes and he's someone who came in this mystical new world and did nothing but dominate these people at not only their own game but their own lives.

I would probably rate them like so: Sora Steph Shiro Jibril (not really enough screen time to rate her well though) Stop right there, I completely respect your opinion but how did steph who's only use is either fanservice or chanting about how "They can do this!" and next episode "I was wrong!" Shes literally there for fanservice and bitching but somehow she reaches above shiro? Cute, genius, loli imoto? Hell no. Steph is just there so for those who don't understand a rather complicated strategy they can explain it to her.

Tsuruya Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 To me, the only downside of the series was the fanservice. Other than that I'd say it was a damn good series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
