I got a headache from this very confusing game of rock-paper-scissors and all those colors and brightness (next time I need to turn brightness down quite a bit) but it was a good episode :D

This episode was hilarious, the comedy so great that I had trouble stifling my laughter in the library. The gags were silly but I actually really liked them. The bgm was nice too, especially during the scene when Steph was explaining her world to the siblings. Looks like things are just getting started. Also, I can't get over how amazing Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's voice acting is XD

Forgot to mention, Kayano Ai's singing is so cute!

This is looking like a good series, but I'm not quite all in just yet. Something in this episode made me nervous that the series might flop towards the end. I really hope I am wrong because I really want this show to do well.
But that's just one opinion.

Oh god this episode had me laughing at some parts. Mostly Stephanie when she was fighting her inner-self lol.

I thought this episode was going to be a filler on the introduction to the new world and Stephanie, but it picked up at the end. I can't wait for the battle/game scenes that involves magic!

The first half was annoying and sucked. Second half was much better. The rock paper scissors game was really not that clever, but tried its hardest to be. Some explanations on the fantasy world were helpful, so we know there's a hierarchy going on here.

I'll watch the next episode since it's the big game to determine to king. Sora's obviously going to win, so I feel it'll be a bit anticlimactic.

No Game No Life's sure to be one of the most hyped series this season, if not the most hyped.

In the previous episode, we see our protagonist as cool and compose hikimori (shut-in) that seems to not care about anything but gaming and little sister.

But now... we get... a genius shut-in gamer that shouts "fall in love me!" to a woman in demise and at the same time, displays signs of chuunibyou (or is it becaue of the lack of a girlfriend?). Oh lol oh lol oh lol, I laughed a bit too much.

The plot is moving slow (or is it supposed to move slow?) I expected them to be kings since like episode 1 since it was shown in the OP.

Steph is adorable, Shiro is more adorable and Sora is just perverted in a good way.

To be honest, the story doesn't intrigue me much but the animation makes up for it.

Steph was hilarious! Her reactions to the aftermath of seeing the visions were splendid.
Steph fell in love!
The bond between the siblings is too deep xD They go all panic if they are too far.
Learning about the lore was interesting, 16 species eh.
Shiro too cute, especially when she calls herself or her brother.

Great comedy that hit every single time, plot progression, and gorgeous visuals aplenty. Even the mind games in this show are great.

Very solid episode. Usually episodes that follow up great ones like we had in episode 1 are usually iffy. But this was solid all the way through.

Easily AOTS.

This is by far the most fun anime this season so far. I love those siblings, they're so fucking hiliarous. Seems all that trolling Sora does on the boards has gone to good use.

"Fall...In love with me!" Seriously?

That apology XD

That Steph-a-Scope :3

Shiro is a perv, that photo though :P

He got kicked out of the door and they both had a meltdown :O I wonder if enemies will make use of this weakness?

The Steph-a-Vision stopped so she actually fell in love ;)

Great episode can't wait for the next.

Are you serious? This is one of the least Moe shows of the season. And how is Shiro a loli blob? This show is amazing, its got comedy, Fan-service (though, I can see how that might turn people off to the anime) logic lessons, an interesting fantasy world, and a burgeoning romance. I thought Mahouka would be my top show of the season... NGNL just gave it a run for its money. It certainly has Ship of the season though, IMO.

His demand was "fall in love with me?" Something so transient and vague was somehow made into an absolute, but I suppose that is the power of being the main character.

Also, he's the one who suggested to play a game so why was he allowed to make the rules, or did she just randomly forfeit that right, including the conditions for winning and losing? But the real problem with the game to me was the implicit understanding that she would take the bluff seriously, when it wasn't a "rule" for him to play paper. If she disregarded everything he said, the game would be equal in chance and way too dangerous to wager your life in. And I'm not sure why she would be against a draw, does she really want his life or something? We can assume that the characters are flustered by his insults, but their rationality must be extremely lacking if they think their lives are equal in value when it only depends on what they agree is equal in value. A princess' life for that of a commoner? Apparently no one wants to negotiate winning conditions, how fortunate for MC.

Edit: He was in the position of weakness after all, running out of money and no room to stay in. You would think that she would lower her own stakes in the game.

So good... Every Anime that has a good MC will always be good. When will the others learn?!

Dat mind games janken...

The ecchi in this series is good. Not too excessive.

Steph is hot, glad that hiyocchi is voicing her.

Mr.Steam why do you even exist?

A badass and hilarious episode overall. Can't wait for the next episode.

I don't understand this part too. Did he really made the rule or Steph was just forced to accept the rule because she is dumb? It makes sense that he didn't follow the him using only paper rule because the challenged player was only the one that can decide the rules from what I can remember...

I assume the challenged party has the right to choose the game, but they don't necessarily have to use it. She accepted Sora's rules since she thought they benefited her more.

Well I sure didn't expect to laugh so much at the first half. The rock-paper-scissors games was a little confusing, but at least I'm glad they clearly explained why Sora and Shiro are so confident when they're supposed to have a communication disorder.
Things got very interesting in the second half, I really want to see the bigger games and learn more about this lush world.

3. Good riddance, honestly don't care.
