Synopsis: The story of No Game, No Life centers around Sora and Shiro, a brother and sister whose reputations as brilliant NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) hikikomori (shut-in) gamers have spawned urban legends all over the Internet. These two gamers even consider the real world as just another “crappy game.” One day, they are summoned by a boy named “God” to an alternate world. There, God has prohibited war and declared this to be a world where “everything is decided by games”—even national borders. Humanity has been driven back into one remaining city by the other races. Will Sora and Shiro, the good-for-nothing brother and sister, become the “Saviors of Humanity” on this alternate world? “Well, let’s start playing.”
QUOTE (Norren @ Apr 27 2014, 01:55 PM)No Game No Life has amazed me and is my current pickup favorite of the season. In the first few minutes I was thinking "oh god, accel world?" and then it cut to Sora and Shiro quadboxing and I couldn't help but laugh. By the time Shiro was sitting there, wearing all the bandits' clothing, I was hooked.
I'm really curious to see what the story on that one becomes, with Sora's decision making processes and the "Don't underestimate Humanity" theme to his attitude. A shame we don't have a thread for that one!
QUOTE (JCDRANZER @ Apr 27 2014, 02:07 PM)I agree with you, there's quite a few shows that should have threads for themselves because I'm sure there are ppl watching it and wanting to discuss it here rather than at MALalright once more ;p btw Ranzer I wouldn't be so sure because most new topics have so few posts (specially Marvel Avengers, but that's just my April fool's day anime thread of the year after all lol)... a bit late i know because ep'1 reminded me between Mondaiji-tachi and the trainwreck Ixion Saga, now as many others consider it AOTS and suggested me to keep watching i just did so i'm up to ep.3
