| Not to hate, the animation quality is fitting for this anime's story telling |
| It's always a gamble with the animation quality when Lidenfilms is involved. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| i knew Lidenfilms would crumble somewhere with all the titles they picked up, but this looks so corny and plain. the animation and direction look so uninspiring. hope the 'ecchi' and the plot pull through. |
| Novelist Sazane's second dive into generic fantasy feels like a mashup of No Game No Life and last year's Liar Liar. The most exciting part of the episode was AliA's opening, though it was just okay. "The Game of the Gods," a brain game devised by idle supreme beings, becomes the focal point. Rhese, a former goddess reawakened from a deep slumber, demands the best player of the era. Fei, hailed as the top rookie, is chosen for the challenge. The game is notoriously difficult, never before conquered in human history. Yet, amidst the whimsical, unpredictable gods, lies the thrill of wholehearted engagement. Thus begins the ultimate cerebral showdown between a prodigious gamer, a divine exile, and their companions. This anime instantly falls into the realm of generic tropes. The concept of gaming feels overdone, with lackluster animation from LIDENFILMS. Everything else in the episode feels mundane, with some fan service as expected... they think that this'll save the anime. There's some generic stuff and unnecessary fan service. As for the game, it fails to actually grab me. Perhaps the next episodes, particularly when the "Gods Games" commence, will offer redemption. The CGI of the rock monster is passable, for now. The only standout moment? CR's apparent leak. |

| Ah another Akari lead giving me such a good feeling. But this introduction of episode, leaking, to still dull to me especially by how the male mc act so far, it's not very enticing. Visual looking stiff as well, and nothing outstanding so far rather than just a bright color. Wishing the story decent at least but this first game bored me to death already, by how lame its all played out. Different orbits? Tho there's a chance everything gets better and hopefully that boy doing more impression. Sooo i stake this anime onto my spring list. |

| the premise seems interesting, not to mention too bad the art quality isn't that good |

| From Kei Sazane, the novelist of Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen a.k.a Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, he has 3 shows in the pipeline this year: this show, alongside next season's Silver Link's Season 2 of Last Crusade and Project No. 9's Naze Boku no Sekai wo Dare mo Oboeteinainoka? a.k.a Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World? in Summer, what a time to be alive watching generic fantasy shows in 2024. In the Sacrament City of Ruin, this is MC Fay Theo Philus's return due to a god in the form on a girl stuck in permafrost wanting "the game era's best player", she's definitely a big threat to the Arcane Court, which houses her, and is in supervision of Fay with a brief from the Court's Chief Secretary Miranda, which he has to put on a show for her. And as luck would have it, the red-haired girl that he's looking for all this while: Leoleshea. And with a card game of Memories, the first game between Fay and Leoleshea begins as a way to get to know each other. Leoleshea coming from the land of Elements, the playground of the Gods, giving humanity the power of Arise to play with gods, it's also part of a huge plot to venture the world undiscovered. But Fay soon realizes that this is not just a simple self-intro game of cards, and he comes clean towards Leoleshea of the Arcane Court's motive to court her to humanity's side. Though Leshea's motive is just to play the gods' games to return being a god, Fay is taken along for the ride as well into the gods' spiritual realms. Thanks for the untimely leak, Crunchyroll. Too bad that this show, like last Summer's Liar, Liar, is a poor imitation of No Game No Life. Even the characters feel like an imitation of Liar, Liar, especially with the usual black-haired MC and red-haired female MC, which the LN takes "heavy inspiration" from that series. Usual Kei Sazane generic uninspiredness. |

| Seems CR has security problems this week with their leaks. That being said, I'm not impressed by what was shown. The animation looks rough and the cast is barely tolerable so far. I'm actually even surprised this got an anime adaptaiton as this is one of the faster ones to do so in recent years. At least the premise sounds interesting, I guess? Not having high hopes for it tbh. Leoleshea or whatever that girl's name has a personality that might take time to get used to...their first meeting feels underwhelming but hey, at least it's watchable. |
 |
| Quite a interesting concept im going to put on my brain hat for this anime :) |
| I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING. I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously) No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die. RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING. |
| That was utterly bland and uninspired, did LIDENFILMS even try? Watching this after Shuumatsu Train which had plenty of creativity only enhanced this lmao |
| Not the biggest fan of being harsh with words but man this was dreadful to watch. Just so, so boring with concepts that are way overdone and not aged well, with visuals and direction that look and feel as terrible, uninspired and dull as it can get. Not the kind of premiere I appreciate in kicking off a fairly stacked Spring 2024 season. LIDENFILMS are just way too inconsistent in their catalogue of shows and this is definitely having lower-end vibes. |
| what an awful start for a season |
 |
| im not watching another Liar Liar |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Kind of interesting, a super genius mc and he was trained by someone who looks like the fmc, her mom? Anyway Leshea's cute and Akarin's voicing her so if nothing else there's atleast that. |
 |
| Geez. If this show looks this meh in the first episode, I can't imagine how awful it'll be in the last lol |
 |
| No hopes for this at all considering how this first episode turned out to be. Guess I'll give it another episode and see what's what. |
| Today, I may be a weak little bug that gets tossed in the wind, washed away by the currents, and drowns, but tomorrow, I may become the butterfly that spreads its colossal wings and flies the open skies! ~ Oe Kintaro |
| Yeah this anime also reminds me of Liar Liar from last summer and that one was ok but I'm hoping this one turns out better. Also I remember the other anime initially having an ecchi tag that was later removed so hopefully this one lives up to that at least. Beyond that this one had a decent start and on a side note I liked Miranda's outfit. |
GangsterCat said: im not watching another Liar Liar So real! This one seems so mediocre and the current Ecchi tag seems very misleading. |
| Definitely liking the show so far. The games granting you powers so the humans have a fighting chance makes sense, but the reward for winning the games is that you could use them in the real world is interesting. It's survival of the smartest. |
 |
| Not gonna lie, I picked this one because Liar Liar was on my list but I never got to watch it and this one looked similar lol. The episode itself was... okay? I don't know, I guess I like Leshea but not much else. |
| Very generic indeed. I quite like Leshea but that's about it. Animation is underwhelming, art is bland and the plot is mediocre. I'll give it a few more episodes to see where the story goes and if it is worth continuing. |
| This episode focused way too much on the rules of the card game and exposition galore. Not necessarily the worst thing ever, but it could have leaned far less on the jargon to ease your average viewer. Ecchi? What ecchi? The "fanservice" in the episode was so tame for an "ecchi" show.... |
| We really need a 2nd season of no game no life |
 |
the animation is so bad 💀... |
| I was so hyped about board games they were about to play.. But then they just ran away and joined fight with 3d monsters ._. |
| Yeah this is pretty much exactly what I thought it was going to be just from reading the title and seeing some of the art, and I'm not really interested. Tbh I was kind of waiting for the episode to end like half-way through lol might stick around for another episode or two but probably not Edit: This reminds me a ton of Liar Liar, which I hated so chances are this is getting dropped too @StedevHD Creo te va dar una decepcion inmensa mas adelante 😅 |

| Like others already stated it reminds me of Liar Liar, which I liked the premise of it way more but was way too rushed which resulted in it being bad, but this is just dull. The animation and story telling is subpar and you need to lure me with something less generic to impress me. I'm interested in what the high stakes exactly are here, what happens if you as a apostle lose all your games, do you lose your arise? |
