| I lol'ed so hard when I saw this anime's score went up again. I don't care anymore... (In all honesty NGNL is really good but not THIS good. Then again, it's all my own opinion and I don't believe I'll change people's minds) BTW nice episode. |

| Izuna admitting that the game is fun and her transformation looks crazy. Great episode. |
 |
| I liked how the Warbeast embassy was in the Art Deco style of the Empire state building. 1930's eh? So the year 2010's Tokyo would be way into the future for them hence the Gal*ge VR parody's setting. Cultural differences (aka lack of Military necessities) leading to different technological progress. Anyways, fine episode. So many parodies that its a wonder they're not breaking copyright. Gal*ge x Left 4 Dead lol. Also what was that game over BGM that played when Sora was talking. Highly familiar...its at the tip of my tounge too... |
| Blank strikes again... my God that episode was all kinds of awesome! I laughed waaay harder than I should have when they found out that the Tokyo they were in wasn't real... I swear to God though, when the opening to the game came on, I instantly thought, "Oh GOD, is it a dating simulator?" So much love going on in that episode. I love how Shiro shoots Sora immediately after the rules are explained, and then again with Jibril and Shiro. And then Steph and herself. The calculations Sora made in order to shoot the panties of the one NPC was awesome, and his reaction when she disappeared right before the panties were completely gone, my sides were hurting. Then that final fight... Izuna going completely BERSERK... holy crap, this last episode is gonna be intense... Overall though, let's hope for a season 2... |
 |
| Epic! Great episode! That was pretty action packed, it exceeded my expectations in that regard. Oh Steph, why must you be such a Steph? Jibril was awesome. She said she was NTRing xD Final episode next week :( that makes me sad. I will hope for a 2nd season at some point in the future. I can't wait to read the novels after the show finishes. |
| The puns, the puns! God damn it, why does it have to end next week. Also, I really hope Steph will be usefull in the end. So far all she has been is a pair of walking boobs with a key between them... |
| I really want a second season.. |
| This was hilarious. Jibril's reactions are great XD Wonder how Steph will save the day? |
 |
| Those references .-. AWESOME EPISODE! I was waiting a FPS game in NGNL for a long time =D |
Caleb8980 said: Well that retcons their entire "never go without a plan" motif. That's because he really thought Shiro was taken by Izuna; that was pure improvisation on Shiro's side, not sth that was planned beforehand ;-) Which you can also see by what Sora thought in the staircase, if that whole sequence would be part of a plan that part would be nonsense, because if anything he would think about how their plan worked :D I'm really starting to get tired of the plan reveals right before their results are shown, either do it before executing it or after. |
 |
| isn't izuna using magic now at the end? the game should be over next episode is the last and i don't believe this series is going to end next week something i didn't like much throughout these 11 (12 to be) episodes is that they really didn't get to know their new country at all... looking forward to a second season |

Botato said: Kaioshin_Sama said: lol well NGNL has some action in it again this week which means it's time for MAL to go completely berserk and over the top in it's praises. Predict a Top 30 ranking by the weekend. Sounds great. I hope it does get top 30 :) Oh please no. I'm all for this this sleazy fanservice. But it has no place among the masterpieces, it's never intended to be something deep, serious or meaningful deserving of such a position. |

| That was probably one of the best episodes of the series! Loved the references to other animes like Persona and Steins Gate (with background pictures! lol). The comedy, action, and pacing were all great but it seems like they are sticking with the fact that Steph's character is almost there for just comedy relief and stuff. Although that spell that was placed on her may unlock some hidden potential or something... |

You're right, Gintama's rated above Legend of Galactic Heroes. And if that's what people want, then yes NGNL "deserves" to be there too. |

But it has no place among the masterpieces, it's never intended to be something deep, serious or meaningful deserving of such a position. tbh I fail to see how something HAS to be deep or meaningful to be good? Just look at Shingeki, it tried so hard to be deep, yet it failed so spectacularly at that and made itself mediocre. It would be better off not trying so hard. people like it and that's the point of it - anime are made to be an entertainment. Better for it to be good at what it is than trying to be deep just for the sake of it - 'deepness' isn't the first best value in stuff, I *personally* find it childish mostly. It's the elitist and superiority aura it gives off: "wow im so deep im better than everything else, listen to me being deep", hell no. |
| We just need someone to make that actual game and sell it worldwide. Would have many buyers. |

Takuan_Soho said: Kaioshin_Sama said: You don't understand, it's the greatest, just the greatest, the absolute greatest, the masterpiece of masterpieces and just utterly genius and the most intensest most EPICest EPIC show of our EPIC times. It can do no wrong cause it's just THAT great and did I mention EPIC! If you disagree you are wrong because you are a hater so stop being a hater. Wow, I am not sure which is better, this episode or how much hate you must be stewing in right now..... Sorry to dissapoint you but there's not really any hate. I'm pretty bemused by how far MAL is willing to run with the NGNL hype and not surprised its going to the bitter end with it. I don't really take the things people are saying about it anywhere seriously enough for there to be any sort of emotional response to what people are saying. Its not going to change anything about late night anime culture, it brings nothing I haven't seen before in gag reference comedy shows (which is one of the most common genres and even forms the vast majority of all comedy anime in the modern era) to the table , its going to be a modest success at best and I'm willing to bet once the next big hyped show takes over for it it'll be forgotten just like that if/until it gets a followup season, probably faster than even I forget about it once its done. |

| I can see Steph showing up and saving the game for them, but it's gonna be really tough to deal with Izuna-tan now. |
cr0nuz said: Just needs another 30 light novel volumes(or w/e they are) and at least 5 more seasons. And license it to the US. then it means NGNL is the second coming of Gintama $$$$$ALL.THAT.MONEH$$$$$ Kadokawa get on that shit, the weeaboos are also ready! |
|
| Hahaha. That looks like a very fun game. I hate that Steph is just comedic fodder this time... I thought she would land the final blow... but this game isnt over yet. |

Just look at Shingeki, it tried so hard to be deep, yet it failed so spectacularly at that and made itself mediocre. It would be better off not trying so hard. Haven't watched that one, but just hearing the hype and analysis on it is more than enough to give me the picture that it failed horribly. And if it did succeed then people wouldn't like since then it would lack action and excitement.Better for it to be good at what it is than trying to be deep just for the sake of it - 'deepness' isn't the first best value in stuff, I *personally* find it childish mostly. It's the elitist and superiority aura it gives off: "wow im so deep im better than everything else, listen to me being deep", hell no. That's pretentiousness, trying to be deep without establishment, spouting philosophy and themes out of nowhere just to sound smart is juvenile. In the end being just as superficial as what it's avoiding to be.Ex: Aoi Bungaku is almost episodic autobiographic-like tales, but they do have depth and meaning. Shinsekai Yori also managed to be deep with its dystopian setting, even with flat characters. |

T3hSource said: fanshii said: It'd be above simple entertainment, that's for sure.tbh I fail to see how something HAS to be deep or meaningful to be good? And just why would it be above "simple entertainment"? Is it really so wrong to watch anime just to relax. Does not having any deeper meaning automatically make it not as good? It's fun to watch comedy and (maybe) SOL. People like to have fun. So it's rated high. |
|
| ... You nitpickers. MAL Rating =/= TV Quality MAL Rating = Enjoyment by the Masses NGNL is fun as hell to watch. It's entertaining and hilarious. What's wrong with it scoring so highly? People can enjoy stuff like LoGH, Fate Zero and NGNL. There's nothing wrong with that - I'm one of those people. |

kitkatxz said: Someone obvisously didnt watch ping pong or mushishi lol.... This episode god dam... I laughed,threw up...., and saw madhouse at its finest... 2/5. If i were to judge the animation and art purely it would 10/10 cause god dam that falling scene with jilbrel and w/e her name is idc...was just down-right AMAZING LIKE DEAR GOD. Now the characters dear mother of god.... I just really don't like how they use their characters. Steph is legitly every feminst worstmare in an anime show like SHE DOES NOTHING. Why say in episode 5 that she's smart WHEN SHE WILL NEVER APPLY IT...(still waiting for the steph thing though with that bet...), Jilbrel is YUNO ALL OVER AGAIN but worse dear god... Sora is like the standable character in this show cause he's just funny as hell, Shiro just dear god... just really don't like her at all show how op she is just be used plot device like cmon... yes her using clothes as shield was brillant yes, i honestly forgot about that; good for the show doing that but just be turned around and be used as fanservice just makes me wanna barf just like the forced incest jokes..... At least one good thing came out of this episode.... IT'S ENDING NEXT WEEK YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GET HYPED. Now if you execuse me im going to go watch that the sky-falling scene again cause madhouse is life... I guess you are like the only one here hating on this anime. Such a shame, too bad for you then :v Your statements/reasons for downvoting this show are just ridiculous too. And yes, I'm watching Mushishi and Ping Pong too. And this doesn't change the fact that NogeNora is one of my favorite shows this season. |

| So apparently Shiro's FPS skills are so amazing that she can line up trajectory perfectly even on wall shots in real time and adjust for where her target will be when the shot should connect, yet when she turns over to that werewolf chicks side, her shooting suddenly becomes shit and Sora dodges them with pathetic out of shape NEET maneuvers. Ok then. |

If anime with next to no character development and simple/slow plots such as Fate/Zero S2 or Death Note can make it to the top 30 list, NGNL is a nearly guaranteed. They do not have simple plots. But either way, simple =/= bad. Slow =/= bad. And you must have not paid attention at all when you watched them, otherwise you would never say something as absurd as this- no character development? Ha. Very funny.

Ok then. Shiro never was under her control. She pretended to be. And the reason she always missed was because she knew Sora would be to lazy to try and dodge so she was missing the shots on purpose.

Ping Pong and NGNL are too very very different shows aimed at very different possibly polar opposite types of fans. Also when those shows aired they were the hype and the epic just like NGNL is now. People that tend to live exclusively in the moment or in the heat of things might not agree but I can easily see people using NGNL in the same kind of sentence and argument you use now in a year or so for whatever is the hype then. Fandom is very fickle that way, particularly when it comes to hype. |

| The love triangle and NTR joke was funny. Figured Shiro was faking being controlled. Izuna about to wreck shit up. |
