| I have to say at some points I didn't quite get what is going on and why the characters were acting as they did. Most of the movie we got only Riku and Schwi talking and doing anything, they remind me a lot of Sora and Shiro. And Corone being related to Steph wasn't really surprising given their similarities in looks. I was surprised to see that the god practically did nothing to become so powerful and here I thought he had to be a badass to rule the whole world haha Overall the movie was good, but not outstanding. I wasn't interested through everything that happened and I couldn't really like Riku the same way I like Sora. Was cool seeing the guys from the main series again in the end and of course Jibril wrecking havoc ^^ |
| Visually stunning, as for story it was fine I guess. 7/10. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Holy shit it was great.Would have loved to know even more about the world before. It's been too long since we're waiting for a S2, hopefully soon enough. |
| So lemme get this straight after all that did he dieded as a virgin? |
| Am I the only one that didn't like this?? Very disappointed :(( |
  |
| Damn, what a great movie! The visuals and animation were amazing! Seeing Sora and Shiro at the end was pretty great. I suppose I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I wonder if we'll ever get a second season... |
 'nom' |
| The story on this movie is so meh. There were good parts but it's really hard to follow most of the time. |
 |
| ok that was an awesome movie...I really liked it..to think jibrael made such a huge role In this film ... |
 |
| 10/10 i cried trice watching this movie very emotional for me too bad both schwi and riku didnt make it |
| this..was incredible. i came into it expecting a hilarious comedy like the main series is. instead i got a truly epic love and drama story. this is one of the very few movies that i watched almost fully(all except the first 18 minutes) in one setting. any complaints i have(such as schwi caring about Riku way too quickly)are honestly just nitpicks. this movie was epic. and very sad. my eyes teared up in two different parts. i still cant believe that this is in the same series as NGNL,as the feelings are way too different. still,this is as good as that was,just in different genres :') |

| Surprisingly good movie. Schwi reminded me of Shiro a lot (especially the personality mannerisms and voice). In fact, at some point, I almost thought they were the same character. Riku also feels similar to Sora although I personally still find the guy from the main series more appealing. To me, the two main leads made an impact from start to finish with their relationship. The marriage stuff was probably the only part that distracted me a bit as it felt too cliche, even for this movie. Otherwise, it definitely lived to my expecations. Oh and glad to see Jibril showing up too. She's exactly the character I remember from years ago! |
 |
| Probably one of the best anime movies I've ever watched. Usually anime movie that're adopted by a long running series cut too much contents or too rushed to tell a good story due to time constraint, but this one nails every important aspects as to how to tell a good story with good pacing. This movie is actually best to watch on devices that you can manually pause because there are some scenes and setting that need to put more attention into for the story to make more sense. If you miss the tiny detail, you may feel like the story does not make that much sense or too rushed. Also I strongly recommend you to watch the original tv series first before you watch this, so you can understand the 16 interesting races setting more. |
| I enjoyed it overall and the art/animation was pretty damn good looking. Should've been an entire 13 episodes tho, the events went way too fast so i was just [insert saitamaOK.jpg] with what happened overall. Didnt care for the majority of characters outside of 1 or 2. ill go with a strong 6/10 |

| It's Fitting that the ending of thus movie is literally a Deus ex machina lol |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| What a horny robot girl, I can't hate that. How sweet, love was stronger than his hate. They learned the meaning of a heart and accepted their death, Schwi's death wasn't in vain! It was a sad victory but they changed the world, amazing movie. I'm a bit sad that Izuna-tan didn't have more screentime, that girl is kawaii to the max! |

| Why is Yoshitsugu narrating? A dragon! Dat explosion! 6000 years ago? Why is Yoshitsugu's voice coming from that kid? He ordered Ivan to die? Riku? Dat explosion. So he's Riku. Her name is Couronne. Nice oppai. She looks familiar. Couronne giving Riku a hug. Oh snap! Riku's face looks familiar. Nonna looks familiar. Ex-machina? Woah! WTF! Make a woman out of her? Dat kiss. Procreate? Gemu. Dat Riku rape face. And that was the end. It was good. Funny that the names Riku and Sora were used for the MC's. As a KH fan, I had to laugh. Happy to see the waifu's Steph and Jibril again. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| The tv show was great, the movie was boring though. I liked the serious tone they were going for, but the ill placed comedy negated that. Took over an hour of the movie to start picking up. Maybe would have been better as an episodic experience instead? |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Haven't seen the anime yet, just watched it since they were showing it in an open seating area at a convention. I thought it was going to be comedic. |

| Almost a tearjerker for me. First and foremost, I'm a sucker for world-building and background stories about the world the characters I'm interested in, and how they would impact the overall story even it's just a little. There's a lot of potential here, I wish it was longer...this could be a series! I can feel their despair and desperation even if it was very shortly depicted, if this was a series as I wished it was, I'll be probably crying my eyes out. At the same time, it makes me proud they survived all that, living as insects underfoot by the Old Gods and their pet races. Can't believe the Ex-Machina sided with the humans, did they get infected with data synchronization from Schwi? Oh well, the human heart is never rational anyway, so logical errors it is. >_< So Riku Dola essentially called Tet to existence by fervently praying to him as he fades away, for the first and last time, then offering him the Suniaster thereby assuring the newest and (assumingly) weakest God to be the One True God? Tet is one very, very lucky god! I guess he has to be since he's the god of games. 8/10 Heck I liked it! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
LeilaSP said: Shitty ending. Also why the fuck is Jibril less of a fucking supporting character? MAL is so dumb lol. Wish i just watched paint dry for 2 hours rather than watch a fan-service free environment movie with high rankings from weeaboos due to the characters looking cute. Now i see why you made that thread "due to the characters looking cute" every harem should be rated 8.4 Too much salt |

| ∞ 💖💞🌌🗺️🌌💞💖 ∞ 2nd anime movie that I will always cherish in my heart as my number 1 also. Love you Schwi/Shiro. |
| Of course, things weren't all sunshine and games back then so the whole place had a very ominous vibe all over with the warmth of the sun being the farthest thing from the lands where chaos of the Great War permeates. Everything in the present enjoying peace at the present day and age is all thanks to two brave warriors bound with a love that stemmed from sibling complexes who were so close to achieving their goals only to fall short in the end and passed the torch to the powerful who finally acknowledged their efforts. Seeing Schwi desperately struggling to survive against Jibril because of her newly acquired human feelings was heartbreaking. At least she transmissioned her memories to the cluster who ended up empathizing in end and saved the wedding ring. I had my concerns on how a human like Riku would handle the concentrated energy of 3 magical nukes and they proved to be true. If Tet didn't see the need to provide an assist, Disboard would've blown up for real. The whole movie was gorgeous and despite the pacing being a bit weird at times, it didn't become much of a problem because they gave enough hints to make out what happened. I think that the reason why Riku and Schwi looked so similar to Sora and Shiro was because Tet took some liberties in his storytelling to make it more understandable for Izuna but them being pre-reincarnations of the two from another world is an interesting perspective too. |

| I've liked the tv series because of how clever the plot was in terms of game strategy, so hearing that they would not focus on that on this movie made me worried. But holy shit, this movie was a masterpiece! The animation, soundtrack, direction, everything is basically impecable. The only reason why I won't give a 10/10 is because the movie made the races subplot a lot confusing. I honestly didn't know what was going on in some moments. But this is definitely something that made me think of giving a 10/10, and as you can see, I don't give this rating very often |

| Wasn't really in a mood for anything but still gave it a try and holy shit, that was really good. Great plot, characters and OST, definitely one of my favorite movies. |
  |
| Schwi told Riku to procreate with her even though she doesn't have any orifices! Lol! |
 |
| As I expected I were really amazed by the movie. I knew this would exceed my expectations and it did. A different plot than what I imagined, but excellent way to do it. A great mixture of sad, happy and epic moments. 8/9, no doubt! Amazing how the relationship between Riku and Schwi was so similar to Sora and Shiro's relationship. |

A movie was perfect amount of time to make a great plot out of it without stretching any part. That's hard to accomplish in a 12 ep. series. |

| Zero was very entertaining (not gonna lie, I love its name) but I had the same problem with the tv series: I found the main characters annoying. The ones in the original are basically the same ones in Zero which was a major disappointment for me. Sometimes I couldn't understand what was going on (I blame the horrible subs) but I somehow managed to get most of it and I must say that seeing how Disboard came to be was great. |

| I enjoyed this movie much more than the tv series, the silliness was kept to a mimimum and the grandstanding in the gameplay as well. I appreciated the much more straightforward actions of the characters instead of just the condescending smirks that the characters in the tv series gave each other, got real tiresome. Though I'll prob give season 2 a go if its ever made... |
 |
| I would have preferred they just made it into a 20 min OVA. |

| Didn't expect to have a serious story here, quite surprising but not unwelcome.. until Schwi enter the story.. forced romantic plotline, forced comedic scenes that are out of character.. and a plenty confusing plotline that never really explained how we got there, so it became rather not sympathize-able. I cringe at most of Riku x Schwi moments.. how she gained "a heart" and became human was lazy, how Riku came to love a robot had little sense. What the supposed relationship was trying to represent isn't that bad but the set up was really lazy and barely had any impact. Aside from the current timeline with Teto (Kugyuu is love, Kugyuu is life) and the cast, I didn't quite enjoy the movie.. It's bad when you take the style you wrote NGNL main series with, and use it the same way with NGNL: Zero.. gotta realize NGNL is somewhat comedic and not meant to be taken seriously, while Zero is the complete opposite.. cracking jokes make no sense in that context at all, especially jokes that weren't meant for the characters in the show but rather the audience, that is out of character of Riku in plenty scenarios. If this ever got a sequel I hope it focuses on Kuuhaku instead of the other characters. |

| Not bad (: I give it a 7.5/10 but rounded down bc it wasn't TOO impressive imo. Very dramatic and intense lol |
| Better than the main show, and many other anime tbh, even for a prequel movie lol. Started so oddly...but then the similarities to the characters and world in the main show became clear. REINCARNATION FTW!!! And the battles got better and better. THE GAME HAS CHANGED! BUT THE PLAYERS REMAIN THE SAME! 7.5/10 VERY GOOD!!!! |
