I just want to ask those who have read the manga, the light novel or both to explain to me why is this anime so highly rated and popular with even just ONE Episode?

I didn't find any interesting things in this anime other than this hikokomori's who are actually super humans that was bullied because they are superhumans(yes, i said it again).

So, if anyone out there is kind enough to fill me in with the details on why this will be an epic anime and even the best anime this season in your opinion, I'd be happy about it.

Also, please indicate whether you have read the manga or the light novel.

Yeah. I would love to live in a world but not like that. I love to live in a world like the ones in JRPG/MMORPG and stuff like that with story and other things.

What fighting? Fisticuffs and flying kicks? Cuz aside from the virtual battle this ep no direct action whatsoever. Remember all acts of bloodshed and physical fighting have been prohibited by the oaths. Everything is decided by games. And no it's not video games. The world isn't advanced enough for them to have video games.



Some examples of the games they play are chess and shiritori (word connector) but w/ twists.

In my opinion this anime is doing successfully addresses the questions that a player of games, which themselves excluded from the real world.

In addition to addressing the kind of world that is geared to challenge and gaming in general, making it to my sleeve and see something interessante.No LN is not something that conveys great emotion ... but the anime is well diferente.Talvez the public had an ID or something tipo.Ressaltando one thing, the plot of this anime always have good success too.

Yeah same here, I wouldn't even care if I suck because there's always a chance you could improve. And the world we live in is really crappy, at least that world is fair. What Sora said near the end really hit home. Why would you try to come back to this crappy world when you could live in an exciting fantasy world like that?

I haven't read either.

The hype for this anime comes basically from the premises which hasn't actually been explained in the first episode, but since all the LN and manga readers know just how good the plot is, and just how OP the two MCs are, and of course how helpless the old king's grand daughter is, we really can't be blamed for giving it the score that we think it deserves already.

Personally I gave it a 10, and that was solely based on how they adapted the anime from the manga. Whether they keep to the manga/LN will determine whether the rest of us fans will drop our score, but if they follow the proper order of things, I believe most anime only viewers will definitely come to see just how great this series is.

So all of those high ratings are because of the fans of LN and Manga of this anime? Well, ain't that unfair.

I'm still not convinced though since I've never read the LN or the manga itself. But maybe it is better since I'll be able to rate this anime without any bias at all.

It's not like that "another certain anime" is the first ever virtual reality anime and not in any way "piggy backed" by it.

If only it were as good as Otherland!
But honestly: The premise is not really new and has been done countless times by now.

NGNL is just popular because there are way more gamers than otaku and this series is literally like a blowjob in terms of self-gratification. Sadly, I don't care about compliments that are just there to make me buy into a certain premise that has nothing else to offer. Many people love being complimented like this, though.

Yeah, that's my point. I can understand people not liking something but it's incredibly stupid when someone is so assblasted about something that he/she feels the need to resort to insults instead of providing constructive criticism.

let's not forget TRON which is basically the grandaddy of them all, unless you includes alternate worlds then theres lost world and alice in wonderland.

and got to agree it's getting pretty annoying when something gets compared to another show, especially when there no comparison other then a superficial theme (game) or premise (summon into another world), at lest compare it to some thing that close to it like Kaiji

Because a season that has 3 of the best selling light novels ever adapted into anime, and also comes with the restart of Fairy Tail (one of the most popular manga in Jump, is a bad season.

This season sucks because there's just too much consistently popular shit in it.

If only everyone in japan was an unpleasable hipster like yourself. Anime might be good.

Edit: This was at the weak season guy.

true but majority of them are mostly religious mythology, and the only reason i choose those 2 were because they were the more recognizable morden literature out there comparing to you know Otherland :/

I've not read either, I've just seen the episode.

However, so far this series seems mostly the best of a bad bunch. All of the new stuff airing (excluding sequels) just seems to be a bit of a let down so far so it looks good by comparison. The ratings do change as series air though. Also the art definitely helps it.

Why it is popular you ask? Why it is highly rated?

1. Many of us have read the LN/manga and we liked it, so we, after seeing how good did Madhouse adapt it known it will be close to the epicness of the LN/manga.

2. It is about two siblings, which are NEET gamers, being suddenly into a world where everything is decided by games. Add humor, nice characters, a vivid world that screams "scenery porn", some ecchi all adorned with that ending.

3. "It's finally bugged out."

The other first episodes had pacing issues. Felt like they're just trying to shove tons of info in my face. This one flowed pretty well for me other than the falling down from sky part where the god is listing all of the rules.
