No Game No Life (light novel)
Kaioshin_Sama said: Having seen all 3 episodes I find the sheer intensity of the positive response on this shoe kind of fascinating. Its nothing I haven't really seen before and it doesn't really make the most of its premise though the production values are good. My guess is it wasn't really hyped at all and is good....ish...I guess? That's really all I can offer Don't take this the wrong way but I think you're just jaded. |
| Because it is the most blatant glorification people can get and people like being glorified for no reason. Aeonenleben said: Benevolance said: Because the spring season this year is pretty terrible and this show is actually better than most of the other shows. ahahaha. This is so true It's not like this Spring is one of the best season in years with Mushishi, Jojo, Ping Pong, Sidonia, etc. Then again, if you think this is good then it is pointless to even argue with you guys about it. |

pipeds said: But episode 3 proves that this anime is anything but for someone who like/play chess D=For those people justifying this is for gamers... yes it is for gamers, at least for poker guys, chess guys and those kind of things. The games are not like in MMORPG or anything like that. |
 |
| It has fan service, games and funny colours served with 'artistic' (questionable) animation, so naturally every little hipster is all over it. In reality, it's slightly above average. Lots of production value that's all. Why Sidonia didn't get these values is beyond me. |
 |
| I actually like it a little more than SAO and I love SAO a lot :D hope this series has at least 2 seasons because 12 episodes for the current season is too short for me :D |
 |
Where have you seen this before? Please tell me, I really want to know. I really have to say I don't think you get what is going on, I know you think otherwise, but really nothing you have said has made me think you get this show. That's Kaioshin_Sama being Kaioshin_Sama. Nothing to see there. Because it is the most blatant glorification people can get and people like being glorified for no reason. What kind of masochist wouldn't want to be glorified for no reason? :P |

| Hype for our angel Jibril. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

I do not want masterpieces every single damn time, I just want more anime that actually do not insult my intelligence by saying "I praise you and your lifestyle even though we all know this is laughable, will you like me now?!" Stuff like Gingitsune, for example. That simple, straight forward, mediocre and totally fine with me. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Its really simple....the anime shows a world that any gamer would enjoy. We as in gamers ,identify with the protagonist, I think most of the gamers would love to be in his place. Being in a game world with your little sister and new big boobs chick that must fall in love with you while you are battling for the position of a king of a country, thats something perfect, at least for me. Also the anime is funny and very interesting at the same time , so why wouldnt be popular? |

Hell, he hasn't dropped Kenzen Robo Daimidaler yet so I doubt it's simply a matter of him liking otaku pandering shows. |

Well, I can't really speak for him as I'm not him, but I'd say Kill la kill is still a much more respectable entry to the anime hall of fame, compared to this. |

Well opinions are nice aren't they? I respectfully disagree with you as I put Kill la Kill on the same level as Highschool DxD. |
cupc said: Hey look so did I. My point is it seems that his problem isn't simply that he doesn't like otaku pandering shows as a whole. He dislikes a specific subset of that and I'm not gonna tell him he's wrong but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed by his condescension of people who likes that subset of shows. I dislike plenty of shows but I don't go around being a dick when expressing my dislike of them. |

I can see your point, but even if KlK has loads of fan service and I didn't like it, I still commend it for trying to be something else than a couple of nerds trapped in a a virtual world. |

Weird logic. So everything that is not trying to be about virtual worlds is good and better by default than this anime? Ehh... Yeah it's very weird isn't it. Virtual worlds should stay in video games and not infiltrate tv series in the form of escapism for young people. gamer5 said: Cheesekao said: cupc said: Hey look so did I.

I dislike plenty of shows but I don't go around being a dick when expressing my dislike of them. I have a simple method of deciding if I like something - I watch/read a few chapters/episodes and if I like it I keep going, maybe even post on MAL to show that I liked it - if I don't like it (which happens rarely) then I drop it and leave it be, I don't go and shove the fact I don't like in the face of the people which like it (AKA I am not being a total asshole for just not liking something). What is worse then an ass' - an ass' trying to justify being one. That is very respectable. But then again, posting your own opinions is the sole reason forums exist. |
|
| Right, because entertainment as a whole doesn't serve as escapism for people, only a subset of it is bad, obviously. |

cupc said: That is very respectable. But then again, posting your own opinions is the sole reason forums exist. It's more to do with simply not being a jerk when voicing your opinion. |

tsudecimo said: Right, because entertainment as a whole doesn't serve as escapism for people, only a subset of it is bad, obviously. Yeah that's what I honestly think. Video games as a major plot point is just lame. I can't take shows like those seriously. Then when a relatively serious show comes out (see Knights of Sidonia) it gets a shit budget when No Game no Life gets Madhouse and a bank full of value. |
|
| You are not even making any sense. It's not the show's fault that you can't take it seriously based on arbitrary reasons. What the relation between Knights of Sidonia's budget and this anime?, they are not made by the same studio, or do you maybe think that each season has a budget, that gets divided between anime airing in it... |

How so. No, that's not what I think. But nevertheless it is slightly depressing. |

Cheesekao said: cupc said: Video games as a major plot point is just lame. Did you even watch the show? Rock Paper Scissors. Poker. Chess. How are those video games? Well thanks for enlightening me now I love this show. |

| I don't think that's true. The publishers offers the job to the studio and it's up to them to accept, unless I'm mistaken. |

Also, they do not tell me I am awesome just for liking games and can capture naked chicks with big boobs with my NEET imouto.. and yes, I do think a certain subset of the industry is worse in general because it has - unlike KlK or PSG - NO vision behind "appeal to gamer fantasies to sell as much as possible". This product (I won't call it art cause this implies people actually thought about it when creating it) is so obviously written to squeeze money out of gamers who *really* need to get their ego striked and it is baffling why so many people fall for it without even questioning it (nice job ignoring that about my initial post, btw). You are right, though. I should regrade everything, it has been years since I did that and many scores are way too nice. Takuan_Soho said: Nidhoeggr said: Is it too much to ask for a logical and somewhat well-told story? They you should love this show, it has been completely logical and the story has been well told up until this point. The latter is true because after 2 episodes we have had a complete world system and rules explained several times, and the former because what Sora did in the game followed logically from the rules. You are letting the colors and the antics on the stage distract you from what has been going on behind the scenes. Do not worry, it was not because of the colors. I was too busy being annoyed by unneccessary bath scenes, tit groping, speeches that glorify otakus and other stuff to notice that. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Not really, but the overall presentation of it was really obnoxious and way too in your face. The entire show's approach is just way too... cheap and obviously chumming up for my tastes. |

| Yeah, I guess I will leave you and your argumentum ad populum alone for now. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
gamer5 said: That is not a valid argument and you know it, I can name at least 5 anime off the top of my head that absolutely do not deserve to be in a similar situation.And amongst the top 100 TV series on the MAL list- it is definitely more inside NGNL then you see in it - or think you see in it. So please go away and leave us to enjoy by most opinions very good, great or epic series. |
Nidhoeggr said: Because a parody of Western Saturday Morning cartoons and a show that mixes Go Nagai with classic 80s Shounen elements are so standard and otaku pandering. Before I properly answer your question, I'd like to know what your definition of 'otaku' is. Also, those 2 shows are also obnoxious and in your face with the fanservice, something which you oh so hate and such an approach is 'cheap' and obviously chumming up to pervert's dicks.Maybe I should say Kill la Kill and PSG sure as hell are shows that pander towards sexually depraved losers instead.

You are right, though. I should regrade everything, it has been years since I did that and many scores are way too nice. All I hear is "I'm gonna assume things that I have no solid proof of!" How about you make a survey asking people if the only reason they enjoy this show is because "muh games" or "Hey, this show is actually fun on it's own merits". Unless you can do that, have a decent sample size and the majority of the results are "muh games", all you're saying is pure conjecture. I sure as hell don't feel my ego being stroked. This show is stupid and fun like FLCL and that's all I think of it. |
CheesekaoApr 25, 2014 4:53 PM
| But FLCL wasn't all that stupid, not that I'd want to argue the point. |
| Pretty mediocre show so far, and definitely doesn't deserve an 8.50 rating in my opinion. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter anyway. |
