Good visuals but not impressed by the first episode. As long as the focus is mostly the games, it will be fine.

I could do without all the boobies and pantie shots, but this anime is awesome after just the first episode. Shiro and Sora's sibling relationship is cute. And I think it's safe to say that it wont be incestuous, thanks to the age difference. THANK GOD

Did any of you guys notice? It says the main character has a communication disorder. And yet he could converse with all these people who stood before his very eyes pretty naturally, even pulling off some negotiations and the like.
He did not talk to them via computer screen or anything. He had all these people right before his very eyes. Unless he was considering every single person he was talking to an NPC (the "Villager A" kind), I'm really curious how he could display such high level social skills despite his communication disorder.


Just watch the next episode. It should clear up a few things...

For god's sake there is a ECCHI tag for a reason.
The novel has it share of gorgeous fanservice:

I've been waiting forever for something similar to "Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?". Nice first episode, one of the better shows so far, way to many kiddy shows this season (Anime Marvel:Avengers seriously...). I like the how all the art blends in nice together and the protagonist cocky attitude, but not smug and overbearing, easily reminds me so much of Izayoi from "Problem Children". When they fell from the sky and we seen the world it kind of had an "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it

Only Complaint, I don't really like the quiet tone of the heroines voice. Another thing I'm kind of unsure if Tet is really a boy with that heart sticker on his face and the pink getup.

I won't even complain if it does happen.

Though I hope it doesn't. It'd be a breath of fresh air to see close siblings that don't have any incestous feelings for each other.

I'm looking forward to this anime the most this season, except for Fairy Tail. I absolutely love the bright colors and the character design + the new "game" world.

The story seems pretty cool to me, a lot better than another NEET anime about outlaws who try to fit in our society, there are enough anime like that so this is a fresh breath of air.

I do wonder if they'll explain why the siblings are so close and where their parents are, like if they died when the big brother was very young and he had to take care of his little sister it's kind of understandable though I do wonder if there'll be incest/hints toward it?

The only thing that bugs me is that that pink haired girl is listed as maiin character, I'm just praying it won't turn into a comedy where the 3 of them spend their days playng useless games, I do hope they'll add her properly to the plot and not as comedy relieve or moe character.

Ah well we'll see in the next episodes, I can't wait.

Can you please tell us now because I am really on a brink of dropping this anime since it really is full of naive kids wanting their own fantasy world. Add it with some fanservice. So yeah, I need some kind of explanation about his communication disorder and how the hell can you he communicate so well like it is nothing. You can put it in a spoiler tag. So please please....

Now, this is my kind of anime!
One of my favorite kinds!
All them mind games.

Sora and Shiro really know how to play video games...and how to be NEETs/shut-ins(Please do not follow their example. School and work is still important.)
I like the character style. It brings flair to my eyes.
That royal straight flush that instantly took the victory, though Sora's opponent doesn't put up much of a poker face, did she?

Anyway, I'm most likely going to be enjoying this anime through and through.
So, most definitely looking forward to the next episode! :3

Feels like SAO episode 1 with a mix of other action shows like Phi Brain and Kamisama Memochou. Nice. Although, the ecchi is a big turn off for me, I can overlook that. Started off pretty well even with the flaws there. Hope for consistent quality!

It was an interresting start.

The art style is really nice to the eyes. The character design is also original, even though they obviously use it to boost the fanservice :P
I like how even after sleeping, the brother still have dark circles under the eyes xD

That was... an unexpected visit. She is going straight with seduction to get a service uh?

So much incest innuendo. dis gon b good »:3

I'm not sure how long this series will remain interesting. I can't see the climatic matches being decided by anything other than luck assuming it won't be a cake walk from beginning to end. Low expectations right now, probably for the best.


And yet Sora declares that there is no game decided by luck. And he proves it.

Quite nice first episode. Visually, it's great. Now, that was mostly an introduction on the world and to see how badass the characters are. Reminds me of Mondaiji, I'm expecting this to be quite good.

Last season was shit CG now this season is a shit ton of lolis besides that i really liked this thought my Wednesdays would be boring but now i have something to look forward to

plus all dem pretty colors(little to pretty MY eyes!) thought this was done by JC.Staff was surprised when i found out madhouse was working on this

got Mondaiji vibes which is good even if this show didn't have any of the fanservice it wouldn't had taken away from my interest but hey they need something to sell right?

I'm not particularly a fan of ecchi but I don't mind it if it's toned down like it is in this show so far and doesn't get focused on more on than the plot. The first episode was really fun and I'll definitely keep watching.

This is tagged "ecchi". It's not even remotely close to "hentai". But still the fan service is inevitable since it's ecchi and it ain't ecchi w/ no fan service. So either get used to it or drop it. Your call.

The ecchi moments in this episode weren't even that bad. Hardly enough to warrant an eye roll, especially compared to other ecchi's.

Though I demand a reason as to why the girl at the end knocked on Sora's door completely naked. Perhaps the only purpose of that scene was fan service. At least she was covered up! :P

I wont complain about the ecchi here because it's honestly not that bad. The anime itself deserves to be watched and I don't think people should drop it over such a silly reason such as boobies/panties. I'm a slightly modest viewer and I wasn't bothered.

Nothing like a crotch panty shot of an 11 year old girl to put something on my drop list pretty quick.

Main character seems to have SAO superman main character disease. The stinger has already set up another classic anime cliche.

But nothing this season has piqued my interest for real yet so il give it another shot. Maybe it will be dumb fun like SAO.

Well I mean she is only 11 years old...there is only SO much you can get away with in Japan haha.

Very nice colors and visuals, good sound. If wasn't for the production values the show would be pretty bad, I guess. Technically is very good, but the anime itself is pure bullshit. Everything is forced, nothing special about the characters. Honestly, I think a 5/10 is a pretty good score for this, I'm being nice.

Amazing first episode. I was hooked as soon as it started. This might be one of the best show this season if it continues like this.

I love the two main characters so far. Sora is awesome and Shiro is cute as hell.

I like how Madhouse is doing two shows this season with siblings as the main characters: No Game No Life and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.

9/10 to start. I'm looking forward to next week.
