| I'm incredibly confused about the beginning - why did Stephanie lose and blame him for it if he did tell her last episode that her opponent was cheating? What happened here? Aside from that, the rest of the episode is amazing! Top tier here with Black Bullet! |
 |
| WRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY |
| in a way sora is like lelouch but on a much smaller scale |
| Wanna listen to some good OP/ED songs? Head over to my profile! |
| Next episode please. The anime is now caught up with the manga... Can't wait... |
| This anime is awesome! Wryyyyyy/5! |
| Well said Takuan_Soho. |
 |
| 03:06 "Ai Rabu Jinrui" tee 09:36 dat A 09:41 LOOOL 7/10 for this ep. Nice ED. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| There's a lot of headbutt scenes there and talk about Sora being perverted without Shiro noticing. Sooo excited when he becomes a King. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Love this concept of playing a game for value. Rock-paper-scissor, never thought I'd get right into it and try to predict what the 'right move' wouldve been to beat Sora. Steph fighting against her will, was the highlight for me. |
 |
| A mere game of rock-paper-scissors can change ones life. lol It's very entertaining. |
| OMG THIS EP WAS SO FUNNY XD WHEN STEPH BANGS HER HEAD HAHAHA AND WHEN THE SIBLINGS WRE APART HAHAHAHA Went by so fast D: |

That is why the world hid it, so that no one could get their hands on it so easily. However, someday, someone will find it. The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it. " — Aisaka Taiga and Takasu Ryuuji |
| So far so good |
| I really really liked that. I LOVED the rock-paper-scizzors thing. I love the strategy behind that. I love seeing complicated strategy, similar to Mirai Nikki. In addition, the soundtrack is AMAZING, and so is the artwork. |
| Very entertaining. Steph is colorful and has some good analytical skills to back her up. Sora is one of my favorites for this show so far. I love a magnificent jerk who's good at manipulation. |
| Dat JoJo reference. Anyway, fuck off with all those colors Madhouse. I liked everything from this episode except the fanservice but that's fine. Sora is growing in me as a character, instead I can't like Shiro yet, just way too generic atm. Also, I really liked those intermission sounds after the major dialogues, more like ZWAAAMP or SWIIIIIIISH. They almost feel like what DP uses for JoJo. |

Rock-paper-scissor, never thought I'd get right into it and try to predict what the 'right move' wouldve been to beat Sora. Steph fighting against her will, was the highlight for me. You know, Rock/Paper is really a game of skill more than a mere game of luck, I know this sounds like BS, but I can spot read people and have a 80% winning record (this may not seem like much, but based solely on odds I should be at 50%). Basically aggressive people tend to go for stone, passive people do paper, and people who think they are smart go for scissors. If you can spot the personality type, you can generally win. The people you have to worry about are those able to do self reflection. Fortunately that is not a general skill. It's amazing what having a sharp observation on people can really do for you. That rock-paper-scissor showed it in a straight forward manner. Although I've never taken the game in a seriously since I never had to play rock-paper-scissor for a high-stake but giving some thought to your theory, I have realised a mate will almost always play rock in the first round of 3 (He's an impulsive/aggressive when it comes to games or sports). The series is fun to say the least, and having to exploit your opponents psychological side to gain a competitive advantage is what made me enjoy this anime so far. |

| Not a bad episode! We see some plot creeping in, and we have some super intense mind games that took me forever to get through because I was trying to figure it out! xD There's finally more of an idea of where the series is going to go, and I think I'm liking it! Although, its probably the weakest show I'm watching this season, so far. But that doesn't mean its bad by any means, we've just got lots of good shows this season! thisguy2011 said: rather than some crazy brilliant strategy didn't he just tell her that he was going to play paper so she would play scissors and get crushed with a rock? Am i missing something here? This anime might just get dropped for being that dumb. Or am I the dumb one? He told her he was going to do rock, but he opened up the possibility of doing any other move, because if he chose something besides paper he would lose, but if she chose something that was weak to anything but paper, and he chose something besides paper, they would tie, and he'd still get what he wanted. There's a lot more to it than just forcing her to pick scissors. |

| It was ok the only problem is the fan service. I think they over do it a little. But still the episode is good. |

NanoZero said: I honestly stopped paying attention to the RPS game about 20 seconds in before it went in to total mind fuck mode. The second half was a lot more relaxed and my type of deal. Good episode though 4/5The 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. |
| 198th?! Are you kidding me MAL?! I admit that at the end of the episode it got a little better, but so far these two episodes haven't been THAT good, in fact this one was even boring in the first half. Loved the WRYYYYYYYY tho |
 "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
Kimono_Kitsune said: The comedy, overanalyzing of the RPS scene only to get trolled by Sora, and headsmashing got hard to bearWhoa, this was incredibly hard to finish... It got bearable in the 2nd half though. |
| This could end up my favorite show for this season. Everything just flows so nicely together and I'm loving the mind games. |

| As expected of a show I've already 10'ed from the get-go. The epic-ness begins to build up from this point onwards. I love how they animated Steph being force-dere'ed! That part where Shiro couldnn't see Sora behind the door..... Wrrrryyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who still doubt the epic-ness of this show, keep watching. Things get even better! Can't wait till the next episode already! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Interesting episode, I first though Sora was a dick, but he practically the internet personified, rude and brash on the outside, but sweet and caring on the inside |

| Great episode, I really like this series. |
 |
| next episode! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! |
| I'm definitely enjoying these episodes. The art especially is gorgeous. I can't wait to see what this has in store for us in the future. Steph is kind of a perfect character for this show. |
| Sora was SO fapping in the bathing scene on that photo Shiro took when he was groping Stephanie :D Hilarious, instant 8/10, lets hope it keeps up :) |
| Constantly lol'ed when Steph was banging her head against walls. And 'Steph vision' and also her voice while all that was happening XD |
 |
| LOL @ Steph banging her head on walls and floors Another awesome episode. Totally love the trust and bond that Shiro and Sora has, it's too cute. "I'll become the king" It's time. |
| Man madhouse will swim in money now. This is pure win. It's like the first good show in years Madhouse has done and I'm pretty happy with it. Fanservice is nice, jokes are funny, it already has an interesting goal and cool mind games. 5/5 ep |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Great episode. This is shaping up to be one of the best AOTS. Really loving the mind-games and word-play going on here. The Janken game was brilliant, he completely screwed her no matter what she did and she had no choice but to accept it. I have a feeling Steph will be a great character. Once again Shiro proves herself as best loli of the season. KAWAIIIIIIIIIIII! Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
Caleb8980 said: -MgZ_ said: 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. Ineptia said: 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. 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... In this world everything you bet on becomes reality, so the moment he said that Steph should fall in love with him, she literally did that; even against her own will. The stephascope-vision was there to show this. The moment she would think something like "I don't like/love him at all" that vision would spring into action and change her way of thinking until she got control back ;-) Although for the people who watched closer, they already saw the major flaw Sora didn't realize while stating his condition for Steph ;-) Only things that are possible can become reality. In the LN, there's a part, where, in order to be able to go in to the baths with the girls, without any issues, Sora bets, that if he wins (or loses, IDR), he'll turn into a girl, which doesn't happen. |
