I really can't tell all the hype surrounding this other than lots of fanservice and boobs. The story is average and if they kept it serious like in the first episode that would be fantastic, but every 5 seconds they have some crazy laugh or ecchi scene.

On a side note: Whats with all the incest this season?


Maybe because the majority of us found most of the scientific logic interesting?

This might be a bit hard for you to believe, I know I didn't at first, but the thing is that other people actually have different opinions to your own. Crazy, right? How dare they not conform to your opinion on this show, or any other, who the hell do they think they are?

I loved Jibril here and how she was interested to Sora's tablet.

Anyways, I found the shiritori game epic in this episode. Fanservice strikes!
The world shall know the truth soon.

I'll keep this one short. This may have just been the best episode of the entire series so far! I absolutely love how smart this guy is and how he plans his moves are fantastic! Looking forward to the next episode!

As always Sora and Shiro are unstoppable with their intelligent and strategy. Jibril is such a distraction towards Sora on how amazing he is XD. I felt bad that Steph is treated as a decoy in those Shiritori games, but at least it help them win the game.

Seems like Jibril is now very loyal to those siblings now. LOL Steph is still treating like a dog, until both of them sleep. I can't stand Jibril, she's too hot :D.

Another girl falls before Blank. What an intense game! Using knowledge like that will get you anywhere. A good way to overpower your enemy is to know their limits and weaknesses. Jibril, drooling over the tablet was classic.

I have to say the fanservice is very tempting. They were all gorgeous in the nude.

Lol people trying to pick holes in it is kinda pointless. The moment Sora said mantle, the entire surface of the world would have crumbled into the core.

Who cares if it was 100% realistic... it was a *GAME* not a 100% accurate representation of physics.

Best episodes since episode 2, glad to see it got good again, i didnt find last couple episode as engaging.

I think a bit of the game was lost when it was translated into english, would have made more sense in japanese lol

This episode was awesome! I’ve always wanted to play Shiritori, and it was just really cool the way they did it! I'd have to say that this is probably my favorite episode so far. The series won't be winning any awards, but its really entertaining, and what more can you ask for from an anime?

I hope it gets a second season in the future...

This episode is 100% perfect, you didn't need to explain and justify something that has a solid base.

Basically, the game rules avoid the dead of the players and that's all.

I love how NGNL has to throw all this science shit into the mix in attempt to look smart. This episode, just like the last ones before it, was a bastardization of a real life game in which the MC has no chance of losing due to being "genius NEETs".

At least in a show like Kaiji they use altered versions of the game while having a sense of suspense, since Kaiji doesn't feature poorly written self-insert characters, and is better written.

And a Skyrim joke at the end? Really? I thought they were above that.

Does anyone have an idea on who also speaks the same way as Jibril? I think I've heard that kind of speaking before in another anime but I just can't put my fingers on it. If I'm not mistaken does she speak the same way as that girl in ep 1 where they played poker? I'm a bit lazy to check it out again though. Anyway, main point, similar character with similar accent as Jibril?

I never did care much for this anime. It's always been a solid 6/10 for me, and I didn't really expect much from it. This episode was really stupid and ridiculous with its pseudoscience, but it was really entertaining nonetheless. My expectations for the rest of the series is still low, but for now, I'll be bumping this show up to a 7/10.

On another note, I do feel pretty bad for Steph. Being sacrificed like that probably doesn't feel too good.

I wonder if the surface would rly crumble into the core for the same reason you can't break an egg with your bare hands as long as it has no crack.
Imo it would hold at least a few minutes.

And one of the translators of CR already said that his editor came up with the idea to make the game work in english, too, in hindsight that may had been a bad idea but obviously took a huge amount of time (much more at least as just writing the translation) so ye even if it was wrong I have to acknowledge the effort spend there :-)

The first time I watched this episode at this point I was looking around in my room until I remembered that my XBox was at a friend's house right now and I hurriedly went back to that point to see if it was only my imagination xD

I don't understand all the ultra-positive reactions. Clearly, the episode was fun, entertaining (minus too much fan service) and definitely epic (though I thought it wasn't that well executed, probably because the context and the animation are not as epic-friendly as in KLK or TTGL), but once again, the players' strategies were not that smart (Sure, you show off with your -basic - knowledge of pressure, atomic physics, fundamental interactions and hypernovae, but doesn't everyone know this? Not that it was bad, the idea of using the lack of knowledge of the opponent was good, but I'm just saying here that it wasn't as mind-blowing as most people here make it to be).
I'd give it a good 3.5/5 but I don't understand the 95% of 5's.


You have to understand the kind of era this world is in. Atomic physics didn't exist in medieval times, which is pretty much what the world looked like. Which brings the question, how the hell does Shiro recharge his ipad? Also he has access to internet.

Wow, some of you are so critical. It's a fictional story, so they can have a certain degree of creative license with creating their reality. It doesn't have to all hold true to our reality.

Best part was "And now... it'll be complete! Josei Fuku!"
Just the healthiness I need.

That circular breathing. Another reason why the MCs are awesome.

Prob the best episode so far in this series, can't wait for the next one!
Sora was awesome like always, but i was surprised over how little Shiro did in this episode, maybe it's just because she's the silent type?
The game was amazing as well, with beautiful animations!

The anime is to short, were already halfway and i want it to be at least 26 episodes or something!

That was shown in the first (?) episode, they have solar based charging devices with them :D

And no he doesn't have access to internet, he downloaded all those books way before they came to Disboard as he said because he needed them for quiz games.

For the rest of your post I can just say THIS...this is the same discussion we had about why Steph isn't dumb, to the contrary for this age IMANITY (this is important as the different races all are in different ages ;-)) is at she is extremely intelligent.

Nope. But you certainly are sniffing yours for something to whine about. L2Read.

Well, they have to pander to the viewers. NGNL is probably the most wish fulfillment anime I have ever seen, even above Sword Art Online.
