So it was not what I thought... :/ They are still in this world...
Both episode 8 and 9 were not the best ones from this anime, they were different. It is not bad, but some things were not explained enough for me... Maybe I should read the novel then?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

I don't understand.

If the final goal is to just get Kurami to trust in Sora and help him out, why didn't Sora just make that as the result if he won? Why goes through the huge trouble of risking his existence???

lol at the backstory at the beginning. It's like they chose such a Mary Sue-ish backstory on purpose.

Also, this show is not winning any extra points by making retarded meme references.

What an amazing episode the concept for that game was amazing!!! The fact that he had absolute trust in his sister is epic. This episode made this amazing show stand out even more. The most beautiful part was the three most important things, more important than his own existence. The way to win the game, His absolute trust in his sister, and everything I am <3

That episode was intense. Trying just as hard as Shiro did to figure out what was gong on. Impressively done. From what I have seen in the comments it says that the LN goes into greater lengths. Interesting, might have to check that out

I just finished this episode and the previous one and holy hell, that was intense. The beginning of the episode starts and I am already getting worked up. And that ending was a great way to play with my emotions. Geez, That's one emotional roller coaster that I am not ready to experience again soon, but I probably will end up returning to rewatch this one.

Tbh this was a pretty slow ep, it seems that NGNL is awesome mainly thanks to Sora's charismatic personality, Shiro wouldn't be able to hold it as well just with her cuteness :c

Probably the worst game so far, but now we have Elf and purple girl at our side, yay! Kemonomimi land next!

Ugh, rewatching this episode and I still feel so moved by Sora and Shiro's bond. I can't get enough of this anime. This is one of my favorite anime duos of all time.

Rewatching it this week, I was starting to feel a little bitter towards them because of the way they mistreat the others around them, but I had to remind myself they were ostracized and rejected by society so of course they are hostile towards others. I think they're relationship is so special and this episode pinpointed the heart of why.

I wanna say, "I can't wait to see what happens next" but I've already watched this anime over the summer!

Shiro says he does not accept losing and moving troops
~> Shiro's flag is white and is Jibril's turn (black).
It was obvious that the black moon was shining like a white king then ~> Shira lost

This was a pretty cool episode, with Shiro working with Steph and Jibril to slowly figure out what was happening. That game of theirs was definitely interesting, would've liked more to see what was going on, but seeing Shiro's side of things was cool too. Not to mention Sora's top 3 pieces! The colouring effects really was some nice detail that fit in really well, especially considering last episode's ED. Seems like this makes Clammy and Fiel join up with our protags (who definitely are protags of a shounen series lol). I guess we have a couple episodes left to take over the Eastern Confederation but ... obviously we won't get through challenging Tet eh? :P I guess that's to be expected though XD

Sora is indeed insane for gambling something like this! But hey! taking risks is what makes them having fun!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

That sure is trippy! This episode clearly shows how familiar Shiro is with Sora. She knew what would Sora do even if she almost doesn't have any memory of him or even know EXACTLY where the game board is.

Also, it's already mentioned that Sora and Shiro are not blood-related before but the past was finally told to the audiences. Seemed like Shiro has been experimented on...

Now I guess they have all the pieces to begin the complete world domination!

So they're not blood related? She was adopted.

Eh? I will never win that game, I'll be trapped like Saito in limbo in the movie Inception. >_<

Sora is a terrible protiganist, he's totally unrelateable. How can anyone relate to someone who never loses, is always perfect but is also arrogant. Hate him so much honestly. How they keep winning isn't even believable, just total ass pulls.

What an incredible mindf@#k. It hardly makes any sense at all, yet it's very easy to completely understand it on first watch. I don't even know how you make an episode like this, but they did.

This was a bit of a weak episode. Too many plot holes. How did Shiro know that the white pieces were the correct ones? How did she know where to put them?

It wasn't explained very well. Other episodes were definitely more enjoyable to watch.

Got to give it to the anime. This episode was a clever troll. Betting his existence just so the girl with the elf would work with them. I'm sure like other replies here that the book filled in on the plot holes this presented and explained why Sora wouldn't just get a game of true or false. Or something that isn't your existence! This was unbelievably reckless even for Sora.

They played a game with their own existence lmao. I thought they were playing against the Eastern Federation and lost but I was trolled, ahhhh. We learn that Sora needs the elf for something most likely for the game against the Eastern Federation. I also appreciate that they didn't treat the relationship between Sora and Shiro as incest in this episode because it would pull me out of the immersion completely.

Time to finish this anime tomorrow!

Sora really won before starting the game! He already knew how the results would be thanks to the confidence he had in his sister. I think that in the next episode it will be the game to decide the future of the Werebeast continent and the life and continent of the Imanity.
