| This episode was entertaining. I never read the light novel so I don't know what's going to happen. But I do know this isn't some fluke with the setting. I think the game is designed to take the place the opponent fears the most and project it as the setting. Lastly, I do hope this isn't just a 12 episode anime. There is a lot of potential and I could see it going much longer than twelve episodes. |
| Awesome setup episode. Honestly didn't expect the setting to be in Tokyo at the end. Kind of thought it will be something else instead of it being about FPS and guns but nonetheless looking forward to the next episode! lol at Sora and Shiro's reaction at the end |
| this episode wouldve been perfect if Fi took off her shoe and they show Jibriel going for the lick. SLOW AND CINEMATIC; zoom in as she goes from bottom to top. HNGHHHH. ahem. i need a cold shower. |

| This episode didn't disappoint. This has been the only show this season that has been consistent in almost every aspect. The flow is perfect, fanservice where it's needed, comedy when/where it's needed, and plot when/where it's needed. I SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!!! We all know it's going to happen. There's no way they are going to let this gem die with only ONE 13 episode season! It's just too damn good of a show and I guarantee the sales will reflect that! Oh well...since we are nearing the "final stretch" for this season, I can't wait for the BDs!!! Hopefully the censoring is gone except where it's directly copied from the LN! I'm really starting to like Kurami. I hope she get's more screen time before the season is over! Oh and hopefully Steph get's some more quality air time as well. The last thing I want to see is a bit more development between Sora and Shiro (their sibling relationship) and a bit more interaction between them and Jibril! |
antonn said:  Yeah... I loved that scene... Minimalism FTW! |
| LOL everyone turned to stickmen expecting something better :P and both Shiro and Sora just freaked out when they saw Tokyo Can't wait for the the game to go on :D |
| Like everyone is saying...DAT BATH SCENE |
| Whoa! What an episode. :3 So, it turns out....the game is going to be held in Tokyo?! D: OH NO! For the 2 NEET's, Sora and Shiro, this is going to be there hardest challenge yet! D: But, I believe in them, I'm sure they'll somehow beat the Warbeasts in the most greatest and awesomest way, just like how they beat there other games they played. :3 Good episode, what a cliffhanger too! D: So can't wait for the next episode~! D: It's too bad that this anime is almost over as well.....*Sigh* |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Yeah I guess Sora and Shiro lost haha |
antonn said: Was hilarious. Also seems like we get a bath scene every time a girl joins the group. Assuming Sora and Shiro beat Izuna, I assume we'll be getting a bath scene with her too |
| Although this is a follow up episode to an amazing game i still enjoyed it. Idk why but everything NGNL does is perfect unlike MCA |
Moodie said: Although this is a follow up episode to an amazing game i still enjoyed it. Idk why but everything NGNL does is perfect unlike MCA I'm a suspicious person to say this, since I personally hate that other show you talked about. However I cannot stop thinking it's weird that you say that, while giving a 8 to the mentioned show. Do you really think that a show that (believing in you own words) has some flaws to receive such a positive grade? I know that you probably didn't spend much time grading all the animes you saw, but my advice to you is to give grades already thinking of the possibility of other shows better than the one you are currently watching... If you reach a point, where you come to the conclusion you never watched anything better than that, then this show probably deserves the best rank, however if when you are grading you can think of better stories, then a very good should be enough. Long story short masterpieces, excellent, very good, good and so on, this grades have a meaning, and even though I'm a huge fan of NGNL, I can't give it more than a 9 for now... (and believe me 9 is a excelente grade!!) By the way, I'll save you the trouble and tell you right way that the only 2 shows I ever gave a 10 were "Clannad After Story" and "Death Note". After that only 9's, 8's 7's and so on.... Why??? Because they were good, very good or in some cases excellent shows (for the genres they were targeting), but not even one of them were masterpieces!!

| Damn only 2 episodes left! Izuna is so cute. Too bad she doesn't have fun while playing games. |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| LOL nice. I love how the Virtual Reality program and what the Werebeasts think as the future is the Tokyo Metropolis. Cultural differences indeed. I like how this series takes into account such differences in priorities and how it can affect which technologies get advanced LOL. |
| xD That ending. It is their greatest weakness! :D |

| Some nice backstory on Kurami and Fi. I don't know know what happened at the ending though.. |
 |
| Wow, that ending was freaking hilarious. Really promising for the next episode. Well, now the Imanity is in deep shit since our two heroes will face their worst fear : an overcrowded city. To add to their misery, the beast are really confident about their superiority. Sora is so clever, using his unknown technology to get erotic footage :3 And so mean to always mocking Steph xD Poor her. |

| I really hope No Game No Life gets a season 2. >.< |

| Mod Note: Please do not discuss major plot points from Light Novels that have not been covered thus far. A post that provides some spoiler tagged hints about the next game is available on the fourth page of this thread. Personal comment: No need to worry about a second season based on the Light Novel sales and projected sales for the BD/DVD. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Sora & Kurami's interactions are really cute. LOL @ the end. kitkatxz said: OMG THIS EPISODE PLS NGNL AT LEAST MAKE ME LAUGH LIKE CMON. 2/5 I'll write a reaction to this later but for now i'll just say this... this show doesn't respect its viewers AT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. lolk. deanzel said:  ...for the final the game against the Warbeasts. Bring. It. On. I loved the reveal of Kurami's past and getting her involved in the fanservice. Even with the transition episodes, they do their thing in getting me so pumped up for the games that are about to begin. I agree with others here in that these are necessary in order to explore the background info, motives and development of the characters because the games are just pure non-stop action and raging. And we get that awesome fanservice/Stephservice. If you don't like fanservice, just drop the show and stop complaining. It's not going to change any time soon.

"Komugi, are you there?" |
| And so they face their biggest weakness THE REAL WORLD! still Jibril is the best girl |
 |
| How Sora and Shino instantly broke when they came to Tokyo killed me. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Love the stick figures at the start... especially stick Jibril. Hahaha. Finally the game is starting... and the away team is supposedly the home team now. Hahaha. Can't wait to see what games they are doing. |

| A great build-up episode, would love to see how Madhouse adapt the game portion though (which I personally think it's kinda tricky to animate [you will know why next week XD]) |
 |
| wow just has to be tokyo where there going to play the game lol. |
 |
| Heh. It seems like Blank doesn't play galge.. or they suck at galge. This will be fun. |
| Wow, this chap was rushed in comparsion to the whole serie, but I still loving it |

xJapaliicious said: Wow, this chap was rushed in comparsion to the whole serie, but I still loving it Yeah, it was very noticeable in this episode that the pacing is a bit off; but unfortunately that's the limitation of adaptation, in order to make the anime flow nicely, producers have no choice but to cut as much as possible to make sure all the major materials are covered within a few episodes. Still, the cut might be worthwhile depend on how MH is adapting the game portion, I am cautiously optimistic that they will deliver. |
|
| I doubt the Warbeasts know what a hikikomori is so I guess they just accidentally hit the jackpot setting haha. Well it looks like it's some kind of VR game so it's well within Blank's specialty...as long as they overcome their fear of crowded places. |

| I like the way when Sora's blushing x3 he's so cute! ohoho Tokyo? I can't wait to see what happen next! 2 more episodes left eh. |

| The ending was priceless. Also those stick figures though. |
| The first part of the episode was slow, but charming and entertaining nonetheless. A very nice twist there, having them play in Tokyo. You have to wonder how the Eastern Federation figured out that that was Sora's one weakness? So, I think it's important to mention how great the soundtrack to this show really is. This episode definitely showed it off very very well. The use of turn tables and beats really chills out the bright colors and high energy characters very nicely. |
| so now they need to overcome their fears of crowded places in order to win the game. Shiro and Sora will grow as a result of playing this game, which is definitely a good thing. speaking of game - they're in a virtual reality world within a virtual reality world inception my only criticism (for now) would be the unnecessary fan-service. seriously, how many bath scenes do they think we need..? Sora would have been better off turning into a girl though |

| Was that Professor Layton riding the horse carriage? Well he does like playing trivial games... |
| Sora is trying to increase his harem, is turning a good harem finally begins the final game, but they came home? the anime is very oscillating, some enveloping episodes other slower like this more still yes continuing good, hopefully a great game to close the final arc of the anime .. |

They were not in a VR until now :/ |
| SHIT! Scary... OMG |
| Is this really one of their weaknesses? Anyway, if it is, then I'm glad that FINALLY, somebody in this show is smart enough to exploit the siblings' weaknesses. However, I still believe the siblings' biggest weakness is the fact that they can't be apart from each other. We have so many smart people in this show, but yet nobody could figure out that they're never apart? Seems too convenient to me. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

Sure, they are the new kings, sure, they declared war. Which puppet wouldn't? The only people, who might be starting to get who they reallyy are, are the EU. Also, forcing them apart isn't exactly easy with the 10 oaths in place. |
| Tokyo? Seriously? I doubt that. Still, they can't give up now. LOL! |
Antearion said: You take a bath together and your friends forever. Pretty good episode. Like how Sora is trying to get everyone to be friends. Lot of fun in the bath. Also love the fact that Kurumi and Sora are teasing each other with their memories. Seems like the game has begun. Can't wait to see how this plays out. 5/5 |
