deanzel said:  To answer your question, Maximus: "Yes, I was entertained." And that is all that matters. Super ragey and an exciting way to end this very entertaining first season. It was obvious that Steph was going to save the day but it was cool how they did it. The prediction and planning abilities of Sora and Shiro got a bit insane at the end, but this show isn't about realism anyway. Loved the short intro about Old Deus but it is not too crazy of a cliffhanger as some people are saying. It was a great show and Madhouse delivered as they usually do (minus Mahouka but I don't think anyone could have saved that mess). A very solid 8/10 for me although I am a sucker for fanservice and otaku references. It's score on MAL is pretty egregious right now but whatever. At least I got on the bandwagon from the first episode! Enjoy it for what it is people. Season 2 please because I need mo' Jibril. Tell me more about it. I love this series. What did you except tho? A cliffhanger was obvious, I don't get why people are mad 9/10. |

CNagy said: Sometimes the purists are really shooting themselves in the feet. The ending of the 3rd Volume of the LN is light-hearted romp of groping animal girls through the streets of whatever-city. In terms of maintaining tension and desire for a sequel, that ending would fail. The cliffhanger, though out of order, is a badass note to go out on. Plus, it seems obvious in retrospect that some sort of introduction to the Old Deus should happen now; a shrine priestess has a god, the old gods are actual beings in NGNL, so leaving that aside and not bringing it up for a long time wouldn't make much sense. If a second season happens, it will be a good opportunity to seed some stuff that supports the future--I don't interpret that ending as actually challenging the Old Deus, they just went out on a catchphrase. A way to go out would have been AFTER the groping scene, where (originally) Sora was preparing to use the high-quality, and abundant material he collected throughout the season, only to be interrupted by Plum, a Vampire, coming from the shadows, and BANG, roll credits! Would have had a similar effect to this (maybe not AS grandoise), and wouldn't have screwed up continuity. |
kitkatxz said: Omnime said: I said, "what's next" i didn't imply that this was the level of porn... wtfIn what ways is this porn? If you've been buying porn of this quality, you've duped hard. Fan-service of lolis can be found at the beach literally, there are little boys and girls in bathing suits. Anime just makes fanservice more erotic than it is. This show was nothing more than a walk through a beach. All we saw was skin lol Okay, stop trying to make this seems totally okay to show a 11 year old fan service. It's just a walk through the beach bs out of here. They emphasize the camera angles and shots when showing shiro to be her ero zones. "During this walk on the beach", all that matters is were you're eyes are focused at. If you look at any ero zones of a toddler/child like in this show, you be caught on the spot and be called a pedo. There is no justifying a little girl skin-ship unless ur in that age group which i really doubt any 8/9 year olds would watch this... I only pointed out porn cause you mention baby porn. I don't remember seeing any of her ero zones, maybe that time when Sora deleted all nipples, but other than that, I don't recall this ever turning into softcore porn. The only thing close is during that Shiratori with Jibril, when they were nipple-less naked. Like literally that part is worst than any other part, cause they were technically full naked. Skin ship is a metaphorical meaning in this sense cause you can't go into the anime. A lot of animes like to show skin, I don't see what's wrong with it. Until it breaches the line of sexual advances and actions, or an actual erotic display of personal parts, I don't see anything wrong with it. |

Too be honest I never heard of the "Ecchi" genre so I guess you could say I didn't know what I was in for. Although I'm not sure how panty shots of an 11 year old girl make it ok unless Ecchi=pedo or something lol. (In which case oh crap what have I done!? 0_0) |
| Easily my favorite show that aired this spring, for the most part I've considering spring kinda disappointing for most of the shows but NGNL really surprised me and I loved it. The cliffhanger though ._. Season 2 when? |

Danpmss said: Rayzer said: So... this anime is stupid because it gave us a cliffhanger ending? That makes nonsense. It was a pretty inteligent and well made story, in my opinion. It doesn't justifies itself with deus ex machinas and shit, it have real (and somehow twisted) strategy behind every game. Is a comedy anime with references, anyway, it doesn't even have to give us a marvelous story to begin with. DxD is stupid but funny, so you pointed the opposite in your defense :v[/quote] Okay I'll just give up with this argument. This won't lead on any benefit to me or the Anime Industry... So better just forget about this because this won't give you anything good! EDIT: You seriously hated Ecchi huh? But why the fuck you like this Anime? |

Rayzer said: Danpmss said: So... this anime is stupid because it gave us a cliffhanger ending? That makes nonsense. The whole story was stupid. They wasted their lives on for games? And most of all this Anime only has Game and Ecchi scenes and no others? So how do you think that it's not stupid? Anyway I won't argue with you. This Anime will be forgotten after a month or two. Hopefully this won't have a Second Season after a year or the best choice is Never![/quote] You do realize the title of the anime is No Game No Life. So yes, they trade their lives in the RL for a game. With the title being No Game No Life, I would hope they have games. Ecchi scenes like no other? You must not watch a lot of anime then. |

| Ah, I see. The thing they were wondering about was that if she was a shrine maiden, then she must have a god to worship, which is Exceed #1, "Old Deus", meaning old god. Was a wild ride, this anime. Really hoping it gets a second season. |

I would classify Ecchi as "sexying things up" like how they use hot chicks in action-oriented movies, usually only there to lure in more consumers. Hentai is basically animated hardcore porn. |
| That ending! Can't wait for a season 2. I'd be really surprised if it doesn't get one. |

And sadly, I have seen some hentai...biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggg mistake! XD |

(In which case oh crap what have I done!? 0_0) If you dislike fanservice, I suggest staying far away from ecchi and frankly most animes as there will be some type of fanservice in at least one episode during the season. People should learn to just deal with it and move on, if you can't don't watch it. |

Ecchi no matter what age will contain similar fanservice, if it's ecchi with a little girl then yeah. Just like papa no iu koto wo kikinasai. If not, cross out all ecchi and seinen/romance as there will eventually be a softcore sex scene. |

Would have had a similar effect to this (maybe not AS grandoise), and wouldn't have screwed up continuity. I've already read most of V4, and in my opinion, it would have been fine to do that (similarly a cliffhanger, yet wouldn't have screwed up the already established continuity). Now, if or when they make a second season, they will have to pay attention to details, that the original material doesn't cover. Cutting parts out is WAY easier, than making up patches to fix up plotholes generated this way. Vol.5 seems to be (since I'm rather unwilling to try to translate vol.5, I'm sticking to deciphering the events from what little I can get from the images) a world-building episode, with Sora and co.'s actions losing focus, and focuses more on the world sorrounding them, along with the ripples caused by their presence (again, I'm about 12% sure about that [meaning, that I could be entirely wrong]) Vol.6, according to the people going around spoiling stuff is dealing with the ODs, meaning, that Miko summoning her god was jumping ahead 2 volumes, which has the tendency of frelling up continuity. But to give an idea to people, why I think that's bad - I think the pacing of the NGNL novel is astounding. (Do note, I haven't spoiled much from V.4, spoiled little to nothing from V.5, and whatever I said about V.6 has already been said) |

The series ended on Volume 3. Although only people that read the novels knows that, but it just throws everything out of order. |

Nah, most of the time its just a cliff hanger because the manga/novel itself isn't over yet. So it's safer (maybe easier?) for the anime staff to just cliffhang it rather than making up an ending. As long as the novel can finish or build enough plot for a second season, it will be here. |
[right] |
| I could write a long post about why this anime is horrible, but that would be wasted effort here. Others will do that in due time. 2/10, S2 hopefully never. |

GreenBenjamin said: DawnJ said: Westerners also generally think SAO is the GOAT.Except westerners use ecchi wrong with their own definiton. It causes funny situations sometimes. Most people I know that don't know Japanese Culture dislike the ecchi genre. Very few accept it, very few like it. For me, I'm indifferent, although ecchi/comedy go super well together and I love comedy. If I wanted something sexual, I can just have sex. I personally just loved the anime. Even SAO had a sex scene, although it was never released on OVA, but LN. It was a basically just them having sex lol, I guess a touching bonding moment for them. Although I have to wonder how good is sex in a game, it's all in their minds right? Would be hilarious to cum in the game and in real life haha. |

| Very entertaining anime, no doubt. The most entertaining of it's season, I daresay. Maybe not the most intelligent, and the excessively bright colors sometimes might've been a tad annoying but overall a great anime. 9/10 |
| This series was great...I enjoyed every episode a lot and i really hope to get a secnd season 9/10 from me |

| Yup this is without a doubt the AOTS 10/10 It's been a hell of a ride between this and HxH Madhouse...Love you guys for that!! |
| Awesome! 10/10. The cliffhanger was not that discouraging, I think that we will have a 2nd season. No Game No Life is very successful after all. |
| What an ungodly ride, rife with plot conveniences, blatant sex appeal from an 11 YEAR OLD, and insulting to not only those who work hard, but to the gamers it wants to appeal for. An absolute trainwreck that the writer should feel ashamed by for creating it and MADHOUSE for animating it. 2/10 |

| I hope I don't have to see any more of this. Like ever. |
 |
| Ahhh it'd been FOREVER since I had so much FUN while watching anime. Season 2 plx Also, I'm totally biased towards plots that involve beating a god - or even better, becoming one, or a devil, or an idea, or any omnipresent figure for that matter... Whenever something like that happens in a good book/game/show i just can't NOT to love it <3 |

It was like a sudden, okay I beat the werebeasts and we're allies. Now, I want to fight an OLD DEUS, #1!! Even if it wasn't that and just to talk to it. I'm really curious to see IF it does get a S2, how it'll fix itself. |

| This anime hurt my brain. Mocked my intellect. And then proceeded to cheat its plot in the hopes that I would be too mentally exhausted to notice. Also, this harem. I wouldn't be surprised if the Old Deus are chicks too. By default, everything in this show is part of Sora's harem. Welp... |
