Honestly, after the first episode I decided to read the manga, but it only had six chapters... So THEN I decided to find a translation of the LN, but [the version I found] is only two pages into the third chapter. Still, the operating factor is that I already read all of this, and it was just really nice to see it animated. NGNL is gearing up to be one of my favorite comedies ever.

LOL the siblings are too fun to watch, they both have intelligence and strategies. Wow they can't go on if they are separated, but they will reunite if they found each other XD.

Now his next task is too become King huh, oh-ho this is going to be interesting.

The amount of fan service in this thing is beyond human comprehension. Stephanie Dola and Shiro (OMG SHIRO SO KAWAII I COULD DIE) are just too cute. Shiro is like a dream imouto. I hate that arrogant cheater who beat Stephanie to become "king". Hopefully Sora will whip her some modesty next episode. This episode was hilarious especially the oppai grope scene where they compared it to "jello". This world is seriously working out pretty sweet for the siblings. And WOW, Shiro is damn genius. Learnt 18 different languages and learned Imanity in less than 1 day. That is crazy. Can't wait for next weeks episode!

5/5 for this episode for sure! :D

My god i tought i was going to explode with all the fanservice, moe and comedy bits and they way it escalated i nearly died of laughing of all the enjoyment lllllooooolllll :)

Yeah They have the brains and intellect to pull this off and the main guy has actually a normal personality taking advantage of the situation like that . lol hahaha.

Ok next week it is time to show those other races what humanity or in this case Imanity, what we are capable never underestimate a human,s intellect hehe ep 3 cant come fast enough.

1. Never thought rock-paper-scissors could be this confusing

2. Characters just went crazy at the end of the 1st half. 2nd half was much better & chill

Man this show is proving to be great! I couldn't stop laughing about every little joke they did in the episode. What about the siblings being separated? Steph smashing her head in the wall? Sora and his virginity complex?

I'm so f***ing loving No Game No Life. I wish it would have 26 episodes :(

They made a few changes from the novel that I didn't like... For example how the "do you like this world" not being on the balcony in the sunset. Or how Steph's cookies didn't get that small little explanation, that they got in the novel... (Basically, in my opinion, it removes a great chunk of Steph's characterization as "Royalty of a declining country" [Which, by the way is one of the main reasons I love her as a character])

But I DID like the fact, that they used all those silly comedy parts in a rapid succession. shows either a daring side, laziness, or - what I believe to be the case - and understanding of the watchers. Those old tropes and scenes are getting boring for the veterans, however, even the oldest, most overused and bad jokes, if told in a rapid succession can bring out laughter from a person.

Also, simply because that joke came out of nowhere for me... WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Great episode. I honestly got no complaints. I hope they can keep this up and it will be my favorite anime of the season. I can't wait to see how Sora attempts to be the King.

Maybe. 5 volumes are out and this season will adapt 3 of them so I guess we can look forward to a 2nd season not far away but a S3 will need quite a lot of waiting :(

This show is insanely fun to watch. I loved the rock-paper-scissors thing at the beginning and how Sora messed with Steph's head to make her lose. I was surprised that the fall in love with me command really worked and how she had Stephascope and it was hilarious every time she hit her head into walls. I can't wait for Sora's journey to become king.

Some overused gags but the Mr. Steam part cracked me up.

This is without a doubt the best title of this season.
The part of the manga that i have read was great and the anime is looking great so far as well.
I got high hopes for this anime and so far they haven't been disappointed, and i am really looking forward to next week.
Stephanie is also a funny character, her acts and how she ends every sentence with desu wa makes great for entertainment.

This episode was hilarious, the comedy so great that I had trouble stifling my laughter in the library. The gags were silly but I actually really liked them. The bgm was nice too, especially during the scene when Steph was explaining her world to the siblings. Looks like things are just getting started. Also, I can't get over how amazing Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's voice acting is XD

Forgot to mention, Kayano Ai's singing is so cute!

This is looking like a good series, but I'm not quite all in just yet. Something in this episode made me nervous that the series might flop towards the end. I really hope I am wrong because I really want this show to do well.
But that's just one opinion.

Oh god this episode had me laughing at some parts. Mostly Stephanie when she was fighting her inner-self lol.

I thought this episode was going to be a filler on the introduction to the new world and Stephanie, but it picked up at the end. I can't wait for the battle/game scenes that involves magic!

The first half was annoying and sucked. Second half was much better. The rock paper scissors game was really not that clever, but tried its hardest to be. Some explanations on the fantasy world were helpful, so we know there's a hierarchy going on here.

I'll watch the next episode since it's the big game to determine to king. Sora's obviously going to win, so I feel it'll be a bit anticlimactic.

No Game No Life's sure to be one of the most hyped series this season, if not the most hyped.

In the previous episode, we see our protagonist as cool and compose hikimori (shut-in) that seems to not care about anything but gaming and little sister.

But now... we get... a genius shut-in gamer that shouts "fall in love me!" to a woman in demise and at the same time, displays signs of chuunibyou (or is it becaue of the lack of a girlfriend?). Oh lol oh lol oh lol, I laughed a bit too much.

The plot is moving slow (or is it supposed to move slow?) I expected them to be kings since like episode 1 since it was shown in the OP.

Steph is adorable, Shiro is more adorable and Sora is just perverted in a good way.

To be honest, the story doesn't intrigue me much but the animation makes up for it.

Steph was hilarious! Her reactions to the aftermath of seeing the visions were splendid.
Steph fell in love!
The bond between the siblings is too deep xD They go all panic if they are too far.
Learning about the lore was interesting, 16 species eh.
Shiro too cute, especially when she calls herself or her brother.
