No Game No Life: Zero - Manner Movie

This is what we called "Real concept of manner movie". They made the whole thing , from this manner to the ending of the movie. Simply love the art! For those of you that don't know, a manner movie (or manners animation) is a short animatic of what is shown in the cinema right before the movie, telling you the rules you must abide by whilst there. This includes turning your phone off/putting it on silent, no conversations, no fire or weapons and other factors included to match the style of the movie.

In this case, we are being told this by Sora and Shiiro, ... who display their own characteristics before presenting this movie to you. We also see Jibril and Steph showing their personalities and representing what you should not do, and getting scolded by the siblings.

This is one of the best manner movies I have actually seen.

I mean it's a theatre manner animation like any other.

Story (2/10):
The presentation of the key points is pretty standard, but long and exhaustive to get across points that I'm sure any self-respecting movie-goer should already implicitly know. A simple list without the comedy would have done the job better, but I appreciate the effort.

Characters (6/10):
It's Shiro and Sora being Shiro and Sora. What more could one ask for? Steph and Jibril don't really add much. While the short was "faithful" to their characters, I don't know if I can say they stayed "true" to the characters' personalities the whole way through. Sora and Shiro should ... still be in shock.

Art/Animation (8/10):
The animation could have used a bit more work, but it's sufficient to get the job done. The real treat here is actually the attention to the character designs adapted into a manga-esque chibi form.

Overall (5/10):
One of the better ones in terms of manner shorts. But I still found something like the KnK manner shorts to have been more enjoyable and just better executed overall.

Who am I kidding. It's just a one-off, single purpose, 2 min short. Just watch it if you want.
