Because apparently all it takes to get the attention of these zombies with shit taste that call themselves anime fans is a loli, some shitty fanservice, and a stupid premise of a game world or games in general that is TOTALLY not piggy backed off the success of another certain anime >,>


Show doesn't take place in a "game world" like SAO. This is a fantasy world where everyone is forced to decide things by games, and that is something different.

As for why it is hyped, so far it seems like it is an interesting premise, sort of a mix between Log Horizon and Liar's Game, which should make it entertaining.

Just letting you know that Fairy Tail isn't a Jump title.

Should also add that just because a Light Novel is a best seller doesn't mean that the animation will be great. I greatly enjoyed the SAO light novels, even though I wasn't too keen on the animation (indeed my frustration with the animation is what drove me to read the light novels).

Quite frankly I don't see how NGNL is in any way similar to SAO. The 'trapped in another world' plot device has been around for a long time now. The world of SAO is one big digital world whereas Disboard is also an alternate universe where they play real games.

Shiro is a hiki.
Sora is a NEET.
Hiki=/=Neet.

Sora's 'communication disorder' is that he's a sociopath. He's able to easily read people and says things that pisses them off as shown in his conversation with the inn keeper.

I have not actually read neither the manga or LN.
However, I can say my opinion on it.

To me, I started loving this anime because I can relate to how difficult reality is and how it would be much easier to live life if everyone were to live under a concrete set of rules.
Sure,there is the Bills, Charters, Ten Commandments and other such things, but not everyone's willing to follow it.
So, I like to imagine how life would be like if it were like where Sora and Shiro are now.

Also, I like Sora's manipulative and sarcastic personality.
And Shiro's so cute!! ;3
On a side note, Madhouse is a good studio.

Sora has several girls following him but it's not really as harem.
Dora sort of likes him but she's pretty much a public kicking pole as she's constantly being bullied.
Jibril is more or less a perv so that doesn't count.
I'm not too sure about Izuna but I think that she's more or less clueless.

...and beings like Jibril are pure hax, just how were they fought? - Sora's thoughts on the times before the ten Oaths (Vol.2 Chpt.3)

Yeah, she's kind of broken, however...
LORE SPOILERS AHEAD


But what makes her liked by the readers is the game they have with her, and her personality.

Here's a couple of reasons why.

It involves in actual games, not just some VRMMORPG(Don't get me wrong, I liked SAO).
It's pretty rare to see a badass protagonist these days like Sora and Tatsuya Shiba.
One word: Lolis(people really go apeshit on these ones)
Games.

It's popular in part because the concept of game immersion so enticing. Also, the characters aren't sniveling little shits or bland, soul-less morons. Finally, it's funny as hell, and more than a little clever. Instead of relying on characters who trip over nothing and have vaginas land on their face because lol-powertip-daydream scenarios, the ecchi comedy is served in appropriate doses, is actually funny, and has a sarcastic undertone that makes fun of ecchi comedy. The non-ecchi comedy is even funnier, with jabs at bishounen-ification and even a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

tl;dr It's interesting, it's exciting, and it's laugh-out-loud funny.

Having seen all 3 episodes I find the sheer intensity of the positive response on this shoe kind of fascinating. Its nothing I haven't really seen before and it doesn't really make the most of its premise though the production values are good. My guess is it wasn't really hyped at all and is good....ish...I guess? That's really all I can offer

It's not like this Spring is one of the best season in years with Mushishi, Jojo, Ping Pong, Sidonia, etc.
Then again, if you think this is good then it is pointless to even argue with you guys about it.

I was until a few years a regular chess player and still liked episode 3. Liking chess and liking NGNL don't anything with each other.

The glorification part might be true for some people - but not for all. I definitely don't feel glorified by this - I am well aware that I am and will never be Sora or Shiro and that all the glory in this anime goes to them. I mostly watch the show for the games and characters.

It has fan service, games and funny colours served with 'artistic' (questionable) animation, so naturally every little hipster is all over it. In reality, it's slightly above average.

Lots of production value that's all. Why Sidonia didn't get these values is beyond me.

Is it too much to ask for a logical and somewhat well-told story? I do not want masterpieces every single damn time, I just want more anime that actually do not insult my intelligence by saying "I praise you and your lifestyle even though we all know this is laughable, will you like me now?!"
Stuff like Gingitsune, for example. That simple, straight forward, mediocre and totally fine with me.

Its really simple....the anime shows a world that any gamer would enjoy. We as in gamers ,identify with the protagonist, I think most of the gamers would love to be in his place. Being in a game world with your little sister and new big boobs chick that must fall in love with you while you are battling for the position of a king of a country, thats something perfect, at least for me. Also the anime is funny and very interesting at the same time , so why wouldnt be popular?

He himself has watched otaku pandering shows and even liked them so I don't think that's simply the case. Hell, he hasn't dropped Kenzen Robo Daimidaler yet so I doubt it's simply a matter of him liking otaku pandering shows.

I can see your point, but even if KlK has loads of fan service and I didn't like it, I still commend it for trying to be something else than a couple of nerds trapped in a a virtual world.
