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
 
After seeing the first few episodes of this serie sI'm instantly getting some of the Jojo references they dropped here and there in this series so far. Also, I do like the brother and sister pair when they tend to joke around every now and then too.

For some reason I feel like htis might turn out to be somewhat of a guilty pleasure series, and I don't even fully know why.
laugh.gif
 
This is my most favourite show of the season as well. It's been years since I would watch the same episodes twice in the same week
tongue.gif
It's just too much fun to watch.

I read elsewhere someone was joking about Sora and Shiro being a decendents of of Sorata and Mashiro from Sakurasō no Pet na Kanojo, and funny enough not only similarity of "Sora" and "Shiro", but their seiyuu are the same as well. Also the OP song is performed by Konomi Suzuki, the same girl that performed the ED song of Sakurasō no Pet na Kanojo. I wonder if all these are just coincidences or deliberate
laugh.gif
Then again we got Kyosuke and Ayase of OreImo "reincarnated" (as how someone put it) as Tatsuya and Miyuki on Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei as well...so I'm guessing it now common (or may be it always has been) for anime studio to pick seiyuu for the male and female lead of new anime base on their pass works/their experience of working together, the similarity in attribute of "old" characters to the "new" characters etc.

Anyway, while I was looking at random videos on niconico's ranking, I came across a video which someone translated the book which Shiro was reading from "Imanity" to Japanese rofl. It would seem the Imanity words on the book were not random symbols afterall. Also the video was tagged with:
うp主は生まれる世界を間違えた (the publisher of the video was born in the wrong world)
野生の空白(a wild born Shiro)
原作者巡回済み (seen by original author)
ネタバレ注意 (spoilers beware) lol

Here's the video which has been uploaded onto youtube:

Lol, I don't blame you being hesitant about making threads and sometimes seeing only a few posts here and there, it makes you question whether there was any point in making a thread for it at all. I actually think I have seen a thread you made and it only contained posts made by you.
laugh.gif


I sincerely appreciate the threads you make because really you are the only one that makes threads here at FTV these days, apart from a few other members like Silendris. Otherwise, there wouldn't even been a Shingeki no Kyoujin thread here.

Also don't worry, if people really wanted to have a thread for an anime, they would have made it themselves, like I did today, which I honestly made for convenience, since I like posting here and I'm hoping that those threads can help people decide whether they should try the anime out or not.

Man...sooo off-topic.
tongue.gif


I have to start watching this anime if it made Marine watch the same ep twice in the same week, the last time I did that was for an anime called, Seto no Hanayome, one of my favourite comedy animes...it was sooo damn good...this is how you describe the anime "Yakuza Heiress Mermaid Bride living with you at your home", I think she lived with him at his house.

No Game.. No Life.. very catchy.

Let me see here *pages threw original genre list* : Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy , Supernatural and &cch!

This Anime , upon reading plot , had my remark of : This is going to be enjoyable (which I must say: has yet to proof me wrong).

The comedy is over the top hilarious, all to be honest, I recommend being 16/18+, just to be save on that generally. It is not really &cch! , so far I am sure they meant the comedy with that.

But the plot alone,the animation and the hilarious characters is over the top wonderful, I can't stop watching and it made me re-watch the episodes that have already aired, 3x now.

and above all...

I can't agree more on the guilty pleasure part.
 
Well with this episode it seems that Sora and Shiro have now managed to start the whole world domination path just so they can have a rematch with Tet it would seem.

Although I have to say eveytime Sora does something cute I can't help but go bdaww over what she says or does for that matter. I mean she has this un-natrual moe factor about her though.
tongue.gif
 
I just watched the first 4 episodes, it was so damn entertaining. I wonder what Kurumi/Clammy's next plan will be?

Great King speech lol, I hope something significant happens in the next episode as well. The only thing that sucks about this series is that it's only going to be 12 episodes, so we've already watched 1/3 of it. I hope there's a 2nd season.

laugh.gif
 
Wow ep 5 and 6 were quite good, wasnt expecting this to suddenly turn into my favorite anime for the season. Too bad its only been scheduled for 12 episodes.

Btw, Teto looks like a trap, but the more i look at the picture the more i think its a girl, anyone know which is it?
 
Well with episode 5 and 6 we suddenly got the fanservice goining in this series. Although I feel somewhat bad for Steff here at times with hose Shiro was treating her every now and again. Also, it seems like the angel her seems to be overly pervy towards books along with not knowing what Sora and Shiro really are as well.

with new pics from the site I'm looking forward to see today Sora's Gendo pose,
also more games involving his servants Steph and Jibril's hilarious fanservice
biggrin.gif
 
On other forums, there's an awful lot of hate for Steph's character, that's a shame...she's the sweetest character in the series, nice to see Sora eat up his words in the end. The late king made one hell of a gamble.
laugh.gif


I watched both eps 6 and 7, episode 6 was hilarious and despite it being grandiose it felt like a cop-out in a weird way. Episode 7 for me was quite touching, I like the fact that the anime shows us that humanity does have great potential and I'm hoping Jibril will stop mocking "Imanity" from now on as she really is an "empty-headed academic".
wink.gif
 
Well the thing with Steph is she's designated as the fanservice girl all thanks to Shiro of course. Although I have to say she is the smart one in the group, but she is horrible when it comes to playing games though. I'm probably one of the others that think she's a useful character, but that gets overshadowed by either Sora's and/or Shiro's antics towards her.

In any case as Jibril she seems kind of the over the top pervy girl that wants to turn this seres into a hentai. Oddly enough Shiro can manage her no problem it seems. Even with this over-the-top fanservice the series itself is moving along quite nicely I might add.

Still I get this feeling that the leader of the beast tribe has got to be a miko kitsune. I mean the sillouete is kind of a dead giveaway there.

Lol you mean Izuna, she's a werebeast and she does have a miko attire but she definitely isn't a kitsune.
 
You know when Jibril appeared in the bath scene with her... privates covered by her wings...

I was thinking, HEY IS THAT OK?!?!? YOU'RE COVERING YOUR EROGENOUS ZONES WITH YOUR OTHER EROGENOUS ZONES
blink.gif


I almost wished i was watching it on nico douga lol

I mean im sure everyone remembers how.... err... she.... well how she is very sensitive in her wings.... ah screw it, she said it herself its an erogenous zone.

about teto, yeah i remember back in the days in anime it was quite normal for angels etc to be considered genderless or hermaphrodite
tongue.gif
 
Teto is a god and I'm pretty sure he's a male character as well.

Klyern, what anime is your signature from?

EDIT #1:

Nevermind, I found out that it's from Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san.
 
@Drancer, yeah im hoping InuNekoSan turns out to be just like Nyaruko, starting as a series of shorts and then evolving into a full anime. (im just curious what kind of stone i'd need to throw at them to become an anime
tongue.gif
)

Just to be sure but does anyone know how far the light novel is in terms of conquering other races?

As in how many races Blank has defeated?

Im interested in reading it but I'd like to save it for when its bulked up a bit.
