After this episode,NGNL cleared my doubt and this Anime is a Masterpiece. Its Beyond interesting,there's never a dull moment in each episodes.Lately I've been bored of anime lately and losing interest in anime in general.NGNL lit it up again and Every week I always look forward for the next episode. The hype was Real and I'm glad I stick with it till the end.It also pains me that First season will end next week and I hope that Akame ga kiru will be true to its sources. Anyway is this anime popular in Japan? Japan has weird taste and its always the good ones that don't get Second seasons and always the cliche/dumb anime that keeps on running. |

This isn't the same scenario as it was leading up to it's introduction in Summer 2012 when the hype level was among the highest I'd ever seen for an upcoming anime but by the end it was considered one of the biggest disappointments ever. But there will be a big hype either way, just 'how big' we will have to wait and find out. Regardless of how it turns out confirmation bias is a powerful influence, particularly on this site. It'll be interesting for sure. A lot of people hate me for it and say I look down on other people, but really sometimes watching the fan reactions to things and seeing how close they come to my predictions and where I totally miscalled something being a relevant factor can be as interesting or sometimes more interesting to me than the actual show itself. Then again I am a social sciences major so watching how people interact, socialize and build memes, mores, values and belief systems is always going to be fascinating and of interest. In reference to your post on how you say you think its a typical ecchi gag comedy, yes the premise is not original for any matter. However it is the execution that makes it so good. Think about it, what is with mondaiji and ngnl that seperates it from other shows like outbreak company per say or whatsoever, it is the execution. It is definitely not a show for everyone, however because it is able to find a delicate balance of everything without 1 aspect being too overpowering, it overall makes a good show. I might not be able to convince you otherwise, but it is imo miles better than mahouka. |

I might not be able to convince you otherwise You said it very well. In other worlds this animation is a big bombastic work of music, if one were to only listen to the pieces they could very well find it jarring, yet in the end, all these discordant pieces work together and the result is a very entertaining whole. Or: the colors fit the world which fit the characters which fit the comedy which fit the references which fit the plot which fit games which fit the colors. That is what makes this show interesting. rodac said: Just some data points to illuminate the notion as to whether this show was overhyped at the start of the season: Facts don't enter into this discussion, that people are enthusiastic about it and that this show has become the breakout hit of the season is all certain people need to know in order to call it over hyped. Post hoc ergo propter hoc. I don't claim to follow Japanese fan pages, but in that this series had sold next to nothing before the animation and the projections of BD sales started near 3K, there are no facts to support the claim that this show was overhyped. The only attention this show received was probably due 1) it was done by Madhouse, and 2) the previews probably looked fantastic. |

If people treasure it as a genius masterpiece (again for what such terms are worth anymore) then great but somehow I doubt it. People said Lucky Star would be a show that they would remember for years to come back in 2007 for example but show of hands how many people remember and still deeply cherish Lucky Star. Maybe No Game No Life will be different but I severely doubt it given how fickle people are. Pity Kadokawa couldn't directly market this show to MAL's users from the get go for their sake though cause if they could the likes of Lucky Star and Haruhi would look like footnotes in their publishing history by comparison. NeutralSide said: Anyway is this anime popular in Japan? Japan has weird taste and its always the good ones that don't get Second seasons and always the cliche/dumb anime that keeps on running. If that's the case I wouldn't worry to much about this continuing then. ;) Though to answer your question kind of. It's not the proclaimed smash hit it is on MAL, but that's the case for pretty much everywhere else. They appreciate the artwork and effort that Madhouse has put into the show as do I but similarly realize that it's actually pretty much standard Light Novel fare. The version that is selling now is also a new kindle version that is pretty cheap and affordable so people are picking it up since the anime has generated some interest in it. Nowhere else have I seen it greeted with anywhere near the level of reverence that MAL holds for it though if that's the question. Also where did I ever try to argue that the show was pre-hyped. I'm not blind, I can see it wasn't, it just happened to have that colorful look and get the "epic" label from MAL right off the first episode and then introducing a yandere angel character (It doesn't take a detective to realize the level of hard on MAL's userbase has for yandere characters) sealed the deal. Like I totally get why MAL's general userbase would go bonkers over this show as it's airing, you just can't expect everyone to be the same or put the same value behind what it accomplishes which IMO isn't really a whole lot in the history of the anime medium. Also I'd agree the execution is good, but the material is still primarily ecchi gag comedy and not everybody sees that as a worthwhile, challenging or rewarding enough venture to proclaim something a masterpiece....again for what the term is worth now. Lastly with regard to people talking about Mahouka, that's a false dichotomy. What makes anybody think that I care if the show is better than Mahouka or not, a show I find similarly mediocre in it's own way. Frankly I'm disappointed in what Madhouse has presented with this season save for the continuing Hunter x Hunter. Both productions are mediocre disappointing efforts for similar reasons that I expected to enjoy a lot more than I have up to this point. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come from them..... Sourire said: congrats, I studied in psychology and sociology and I don't go around pretending to be more intelligent than everyone else and looking down on them.. all your posts sound like elitist bigotry, the faster you'll realize it the better it will be for everyone else. Again I'd rather be considered an elitist and individual with unique positions to offer than just another generic poster making the same old posts about epic this and trainwreck that with the same old list of favorites and same old opinions so this really doesn't worry me all that much. |

Oh, I am a food science major, but surely typical grocery store's staffs and shoppers can't understand my worth *shrugs*". ...Nah. I would probably just try something else funny out in the internet, rewatch this episode while replaying Jibril NTR moment, or stay generically boring for the rest of my life eating broccoli, plain. |

Furthermore, by continuously quoting that you want to see trends and such is just adding fuel to the fire, one should really not do that imo. Essentially, we all understand that some shows are not for everybody. Despite steins gate being critically acclaimed, some despise it for scientific mumbo jumbo. Despite gintama being critically acclaimed, some people also hated it because it was humour that was not their cup of tea. What we all cant stand is when someone tries to influence others about a show being a bad and such without giving them an opportunity to view for themselves. Hence, what i suggest is that from now on, we should really just stop flaming each other and just have a meaningful discussion. Have a problem with a show? No problem, some people feel the same way but dont start pushing it all the way. On a another note, i have been always wondering how exactly did you feel about the anime. Is it good but not great or what not? What you have quoted on this forum so far have been pretty shady or ambiguous imo |

It's an ecchi gag comedy with obscene otaku pandering spiced up by games that keep the viewer's engagement and create tension, even if it's entirely artificial. What else is there to say about it? It's popcorn entertainment that barely gives anything for discussion. The problem is with the fanbois hyping it up as if it's something more, just because they are entertained. When the medium has proven countless times that it can be art, even this season with Ping Pong, and it's not just because of the fartsy visuals. |

Who exactly is hyping it up as if it would be sth more? Obviously here in this part of the forum people like it and in the weekly sales thread people are happy that the LN is doing good but well this is normal if you like a series, or? It's not like I can see people running around in other threads thrashtalking; at least to not an unnormal degree. So isn't it you who makes this to be more as it is? As said people vote by entertainment and yes you are part of this, too, as you like psychological anime. But it's not like people say that NGNL has a life lesson or anything or that it is extremly witty, but people love that this anime does things different of other anime with the same tags. Even you said that for an ecchi comedy it is quite entertaining; you may not give it a high score because it is ecchi but it is still quite a high score for you for these tags (I take this out of your other comments if it is wrong I'm sorry ;-)) Also already 17 pages in this topic ALONE hint that this anime is indeed sth worth to discuss ;-) What I want to say is that you take this too serious, nothing is wrong with disliking it but currently it is you who is making a mountain out of a molehill. |

Damn that was very good. Shiro vs Izuna was awesome. Although they should have showed more of Jibril fighting Izuna. She looks so badass calling Izuna a puppy and taunting her. Too bad they didn't show much of the fight. Sora is as funny as always. Specially when he was calculating on how to shoot the NPC's panties. Last episode next week. Can't wait yet I don't want it to end yet. |

There was only 1 game in this show that was fun to watch for me. The one between Jibril and Blank. Reason? Out of all the games so far, it was the only one which didn't have cheating involved. This show so far is just repeating the same thing over and over again. Find out about "superior" enemy, learn that opponent is cheating, find the way to overcome the cheat somehow. Why does it bother me so much? As a guy that spends ~10h a day playing games I have come to hate any and all forms of cheating. I was hoping this show is going to be about games, 2 opponents clashing in a fair fight, type of game doesn't matter, they use their brains, logic and gaming sense to try to win... Instead of that it is all about cheating. Cheating, cheating, cheating. Well, fuck it. This show is fun but definitely not meant for people such as myself. I came to it with wrong expectations and got burnt for it. Lesson for future. |

Which is why i said, the whole argument is pointless. what others precieve as popcorn entertainment may not be to others. Personally, I find there are some underlying tones within the show are actually well executed despite it being a comedy/ecchi. Some others may not feel the same way, but its fine because each of us have our own opinions. In relation to your stand about anime and the reference to ping pong, i can see what you mean. However do bear in mind that taste is based on perspective, shows do not need a complicated story to be good, neither does it have to be art. I do acknowledged that ping pong is good and all, but it really should not be brought into the equation. Quintessentially, what i am trying to say is that NGNL does not need to be well liked or such, however it should be given props for doing what it does right and beyond, thus making a good show overall imho. |

Fair opinion, i can understand what you are driving at, i personally like them using deduction to outwit a cheat and not through some random bullshit like the power of friendship or whatever, but what you say certainly holds water |

To be frank snobbish people like you are what I hate most about anime industry. I watch anime to be entertained and NGNL does exactly that if I want art I go to a bloody museum rather than watch a cartoon. |

The last rule is basically just telling people to have fun because it's what's most important about games, but it seems that they forgot it due to greed and lust for power and territory etc.. I'm guessing this is one of the things that will be changed by Sora and Shiro sooner or later, as in they will change people's current view on the games and cheating and make it more about being fair and having fun. Though when I think about it, currently it doesn't bother me all that much but I do agree that it definitely would be better if we have more games like in episode 6. |

Yep that is one of the themes of this anime, hence Sora asked Izuna when the last time was that she had fun during a game. In Sora's eyes the people of Disboard take things too serious; after challenging the EF and betting the race piece he even said that it was all only a game, nothing more :D That is also the reason Sora said that he can understand why Tet is dissatisfied with the current situation. |

nina4life said: cheating etc.. Don't compare this type of cheating with your video game cheating. It takes brains to think of the cheats and implement them without people finding out and even if they find out they're cheating, make it so that they can't figure out how it's done, it takes complex planning and execution. This cheating type of cheating doesn't guarantee 100% chance of victory unlike the video game kind : +9999, unlimited ammo and unlimited lives. It's not cheating if you're not caught so it's legit. Can't help that you're too dumb to find and understand the cheats. |

@Caleb8980 Yer friendly an' reasonable, I like you (: Who exactly is hyping it up as if it would be sth more? Every fanboi shouting and recommending it as "the best thing eva". But it's disconnect with tastes in the end of the day, so it's pointless arguing on my part.Obviously here in this part of the forum people like it and in the weekly sales thread people are happy that the LN is doing good but well this is normal if you like a series, or? I obviously don't want more of this since it stains the mediums image, but then I look around and see we're getting a 3rd season of High School DxD(more fighting chicks fetish), in which case the masses get what they want either way. If there is more NGNL in the future, it would be nice to see a very well executed ecchi comedy once in a while. Even I also like taking it easy, smirking at references and ecchi gags once in a while.The show was witty its first few episodes, and I give it credit for an enjoyably epic wordplay game. Even you said that for an ecchi comedy it is quite entertaining; you may not give it a high score because it is ecchi but it is still quite a high score for you for these tags(I take this out of your other comments if it is wrong I'm sorry ;-)) Someone with good discerning skills, always a please such a person.Also already 17 pages in this topic ALONE hint that this anime is indeed sth worth to discuss I think it's more like:currently it is you who is making a mountain out of a molehill. Because I made bait posts saying something negative about what is universally liked, provoking attention and initiating a discussion. Instead of just saying "it was good, enjoyable as always, *quick comment on some gags* @zerriet NGNL is actually complicated with all the explanations it gives out, but doesn't go into any real depths, instead it moves on. And bringing another relevant work that competes with it in the same season should be brought in the equation, since nothing exists in its own little bubble. We live in the information era where anything and everything is connected, constantly shared and compared, no matter how different. Is NGNL good within its genres? No, it's actually great I'd say, but due to hype, I'm reluctant to praise it as a guilty pleasure. But instead go with the opposite and bring people down to realize that it's still an ecchi comedy with referential humor and nothing more. |

5/5 Craziness more and more epic. Plot which sees yet another reversal of situation, I imagined a little. The story does not lose its identity even this time, a must for those who love this kind of anime. Narrative overflowing with fanservice, let us callus. Drawings not bad, good animations. Episode usable, as I said those who love the genre is the best, some nice comic moments. Curious to understand how to unmask Izuna, or has unmasked herself. Increasingly convinced that the two brothers end up loving each other in the end. |

T3hSource said: It's an ecchi gag comedy with obscene otaku pandering spiced up by games that keep the viewer's engagement and create tension, even if it's entirely artificial. What else is there to say about it? It's popcorn entertainment that barely gives anything for discussion. The problem is with the fanbois hyping it up as if it's something more, just because they are entertained. When the medium has proven countless times that it can be art, even this season with Ping Pong, and it's not just because of the fartsy visuals. They are mostly hipocrites who can't believe they enjoy genre they usualy despise. |

That wasn't magic that was like intimidation. Jibril couldn't fly because that requires magic. The only thing that wasn't blocked was physical strength |

Botato said: nina4life said: That's actually an interesting way to look at it. Out of all the games so far, it was the only one which didn't have cheating involved. You're right, it has been like that for a while. And I think it's done on purpose. The last rule is basically just telling people to have fun because it's what's most important about games, but it seems that they forgot it due to greed and lust for power and territory etc.. It is absolutely the intent of the writer, and it will be covered this season (take a look at what the last episode is titled: ルール ナンバー 10) |

The fact that they even gave insight on the king rather than put him there as just a matyr without definition is certainly evident of that |
Anime gave me more life lessons than school |

That opening was so cheesy, gah. It was a really nice episode, though. Some nice tactics there, and watching Shiro do all those calculations on the floor was pretty nice. |

Sury said: I'm a little unclear on that myself. But the way I see it, Tet doesn't want to force anyone to have fun. He wants people to be genuinely having fun themselves, so the 10th rule isn't forced on people like the other 9.Botato said: I wonder. Sora asked Izuna when she the last time was where she actually had fun playing that game.

LOL! Jibirl doing NTR. Poor Steph. Izuna is having taboshii. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

The thing that was shiro calculating was partial derivative of bullet momentum, of course she didnt need to calculate uncertainty of measurement by the total differential because they are so awsome they can shoot with 100% accuracy. Oh wait it wasnt bullet momentum it was density it wasnt "p" it was "ρ". Oh well its an plothole then=score 1/10 |

Oh well its an plothole then=score 1/10 Same reasoning as me Ah well apart from that I can see that Jeycopp is ironic, you (totenlove) realize that the derivation is after φ? I'm not even sure how you would get to bullet momentun which is p=mv. ρ makes sense in here if you know what this formula wants to describe, φ is somewhat wrong as it is normally only used for turbines but at least we are still in fluid dynamics which is what this formula should be about ;-) So I would give the formula a 5/10 as MH at least tries to have it right XD T3hSource said: @Caleb8980 Yer friendly an' reasonable, I like you (: Who exactly is hyping it up as if it would be sth more?

But instead go with the opposite and bring people down to realize that it's still an ecchi comedy with referential humor and nothing more. First off thank you :D Well I can understand your position but just one thing: About the start of discussions: point is discussions in most cases only start when people disagree but those discussions still serve the purpose of making people think about what they just saw. If they reflect about it we will get points like what came up sooner about how cheating used overly much in important games and how Sora and Shiro want to change this. Then you look further back in the past and you see why Tet e. g. is so dissatisfied whíth the current situation and then look at the 10 oaths, you can see that #10 (Everyone SHOULD have fun while playing games) is the only one that is a request and no clear rule. That shows that Tet from the beginning on wanted everyone to have fun, but he didn't want to force them to. It exactly points like that which make this show worth discussing, you learn more about the world and see new connections ;-) |
