Kaioshin_Sama said: tsudecimo said: parfaited said: mostly average you and your questionable taste </3 Actually that's probably the truest quote in the whole thread at least to me. It doesn't go into much detail, but that's kind of how I would describe it. It's not irredeemably awful, but aside from production values I just see nothing about it that stands out. If it wasn't airing on Wednesday when there's almost nothing else to watch I'd probably have dropped it already, but it's just barely interesting and colorful enough and airs earlier in the weeks that I can throw it on in the background and watch it on Wednesday's right when it comes out. I just wish there was more I could take away from it at the end of the day. I wonder when will you finally let go of the obsessiveness regarding stuff that you don't like or think aren't as good as the majority perceives them to be. Considering that you didn't reply to those who replied to your initial post, I think you are not in it for genuine discussion or to enjoy this anime. Just to be vocal about your not so popular opinion. Not every popular or hyped anime needs attacking. It's okay to let go..it really is. You shouldn't care this much, or be highly opinionated like this, relax. For the record I was just joking with parfaited. |

| Crazy chess match was crazy but really the 'objections' and speech were brilliant!!! XD |
 |
| yess that speech about being weak so epic lol |

| Their gadgets and phones should've ran out of batteries a few episodes ago right? But still great episode especially that speech and confrontation with Tet. |

| Lol loved this ep. Seeing Scene go from kinda serious to awkward wtf when Kurumi started crying was funny. Speech was brilliant. My fave though was Tet talking with sora and Shiro. "I won't let you quit while you're ahead!" Has to be the most epic reason for God to bring you to his world. |
| Anime, Food and Sleep Who needs anything more! |
| FUDGE. Why. Why. Why?! I thought this would be so sissy and overrated like SAO but NO. I actually like LOVE it! It's only the 4th episode but it's soooooo awesome... SORA'S JUST SO COOL. This is so unique... OMG. WHY. WHY 12 EPISODES ONLY?! WHYYYYYY |
| Lets see here... Another brilliant episode, really loving this anime. It's ranked in my top three for the season, loving the wit and games. This series also has the best loli of the season, Enju just doesn't quite measure up to Shiro. Can't wait to get into the next game! Loved the Objections, couldn't stop laughing, especially the harem line. Shiro can't stand the idea of her brother having other women because he won't need her anymore. It was adorable. Tet once again tries to steal the show, loving his interaction with Blank. I didn't find the speech as top-notch as everyone else, it felt kind of cheesy and was massively redundant. But, after talking in circles and insulting all of humanity, he managed to rile them up and get them ready to declare war. Can't wait to see the games Blank will have to win during the war. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| I love Shiro and Sora together. They're always holding hands, it's so cute. I don't like Stephanie Dola. Even the name. Get away from my Sora! next episodeee huehue |
 |
| That was a bit underwhelming compared to the last episode, but it was still enjoyable. I did not like the way Clammy lost the game, however (as in, assassinated by a non-combatant), that felt like bullshit. >Using Civ as a reference to rule the kingdom Oh I know I'd do that. |
| This anme right here is the highlight of my Wednesday every week.. Another epic amazing episode really loving this series right now. Definitely one of my favorites of spring 2014 |
| To hunger, but not gluttonous. To arouse, but not lustful. To tire, but not slothful. |
| Best episode so far,and a game changing one at that,suddenly my expectations for this are through the roof (no longer will this be just another average anime from this season). Great/Very Inspirational speech. Declared war against the world.False pretext to buy time while the other countries look for the suspected party/race that (supposedly) help Imanity. Beat the 16 other races and face Tet for his title of God. Now hoping they don't ruin this with an anime original ending and go with an ending that leave the option of a second season possible. |
DenjaX said: Who assassinated the king? Horrible writing. Still 2/10, when will this pick up? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Well, from now on my signature isn't a spoiler anymore! And this wraps up the first volume - it only gets better from here, kind of. Tet/10! |
"Rejoice! We are humans— we are the most talented people! Precisely because we were born without any ability— we can achieve anything— this is the will of the weakest race!" – Sora, ‘No game No life Vol.01’ |
| I will just say that is enjoyable nonetheless. I'm looking forward to see some more mind-games. |
 |
| This is the dumbest thing I've seen for something trying to be clever. |
| I'm seriously surprised there are so few "incest!" cries on these forums so far. |
| Delicious tears, but the way Kurumi just started bawling was awesome. Now that was an epic speech. Looks like he plans to get the angels on his side ;) I can't wait to see what happens next :D |
| Awesome episode. Great speech, and all these "objections!" :D I cant wait for the next episode and game against Tet. My top 5 anime spring so far. |
Sury said: I'm seriously surprised there are so few "incest!" cries on these forums so far. That's because they are the best brother sister duo in recent memory. Plus there are no ''incest'' hints, which is great and refreshing. parfaited said: tsudecimo said: you and your questionable taste </3 It's okay because I know that one day your soul will be cleansed and you will eventually see my flawless light. Yeah. One of these days, hopefully. |
|
| 1. Sora's speech was actually quite moving 2. The ost with god & sora was very enchanting & out of this world 5/10 |

| This episode alone made this anime more interesting. A new myth? Even you can challenge and possibly beat god? That's a lesson I never hear everyday. |
 |
| I could marathon this shit in one day. I'd eat it up like candy. So far I'm liking it more than the LN. |
| Kurami shown just how badass Blank is. She ends up in tears.. Liked the end bit with Tet. Inspirational and legendary speech :D Can't wait for more. |
 |
| Amazing finish to that unique chess game~! x3 OH! More Phoenix Wright references? xD So, Sora and Shiro decided on who to become Queen and King huh? And they ended up playing for so long against each other....and each one won the same amount of games! xD I love this Bro+Sis pair so far....these guys are awesome~! x3 Sora acting all cool and stuff, as usual~! xD So, there new goal is to not only conquer the world, but also to beat God himself in a game! So can't wait~! x3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Wing of angel... tail of the fox... hm... Speech is good. Nice work to deal with spies\duties. Too bad there was no any new "big game". Love it. |
| Pretty great so far. I hope Tet won't introduce another human genius from another world like he/she did with Sora and Shiro. Just kidding, I actually kind of want to see them struggle then finally win at the end. |
Hikigaya Hachiman said: Hardwork betrays none, but dreams betray many. |
| Definitely a much stronger episode. The speech was pretty well done. I can only ask that it gets better from here as with a declaration of war against everyone, this is just asking for plenty of trouble! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Based on what the LN says, the King was killed by someone who wasn't in battle, a close friend (like Julius Caesar). Although it's hard to see how this makes sense in the messed up chess game, but I guess overall it was just trying to emulate war. I do hope that Blank faces a tough enemy soon, someone they really have to struggle with. Nice speech Sora (dat rhetoric). For the people wondering why there isn't a lot of criticisms, it's because this anime is fun. Many people don't watch anime to analyze it and think about it deeply (although I love it when an anime that makes me think comes along) and generally don't criticize it unless something really doesn't make sense or there is terrible pacing. They watch it for entertainment, which this show really good for. Call it a show that panders to otakus or a nerd powertrip but so what if it is? |

| Im kinda concerned about the shows pacing tough. There are 15 nations left to conquer, and even if they get these angel like race as allies that is still 14 left to conquer. Not to mention the final game against Ted. Now the thing is if all games took 2 episodes like this one, then it would take another 30 episodes to finish the anime. But there are only like 8 ep left. So yeah there will be either a lot of skipping, OR the games will be rushed as hell, either way, I think this anime will have a hell of a pacing issue. Should have been a 36-40 ep anime or at the very least 2 cour. I just dont see how its going to fit into 12 episodes only, without getting shit or skipping a LOT, which is the same as getting shit most likely. |
| Pretty nice episode. I really like the music in this show and the world. Sora is a beast. |

Kaioshin_Sama said: The fact that they went to another world makes the "loser NEET" part moot because the rules of the society from which they originate do not apply any more. The reason you don't see much criticism is because the things you don't like--from what I read, the "power fantasy" and the showcase of badassery in anything that doesn't involve direct violence--are precisely the things other people (including me) look forward to in this series. Not saying your criticism sucks, I'm just answering that first question.Nobody has any sort of criticism to offer over this episode? Okay I'll go then. It pretty much looks like this show really has exhausted it's premise already as is prone to happen with LN stories upon conclusion of their volume/arc. Just really nothing remarkable about this episode again and the main pair continues to be annoying and one note in personality and interaction with others. Can't buy how they're supposed to be loser HikkiNeets either when they pretty much succeed at everything they try to do be it speech making, policy, competing against others in games. It's just such a blatant power fantasy too and you even have Stephanie now reduced to a fan service cheerleader for the duo, not that she was ever a particularly great character in the first place, but that more or less ends her development as a character and really it just looks like everything in this show exists to enable the two MC's at the end of the day. Just gives it a feeling of utter pointlessness, like the show has been spinning it's heels in repeatedly pointing out how awesome [] is and how they never ever lose. It makes the brother sister duo from Mahouka look positively mortal and flawed by comparison. I'd be able to forgive the show a little if it used all of this well and to good effect as comedy or had anything resembling a sense of irony, but the humor is primarily still of the reference and ecchi variety and it looks like it's playing it's premise entirely straight. Just kind of an unremarkable show outside of the production Madhouse is giving it which continues to be all that stands out about it to me. Way to many style over substance anime these days, but I suppose it's far from the worst example of that. I do agree that Stephanie sucks and had no (or has exhausted all) potential to be a great character. Just another damsel in distress that'll rely on the duo to solve everything. |

| Decent episode I guess Made me laugh a few times. 3/5 |
 |
| I always watch newly aired anime until episode 4 before I subject it to be dropped or to continue, I'm sure a lot of people do, this series simply placed itself on top of my weekly-must-watch list.. Declaring war to other nations on their coronation event such bad-asses, although it caters two OP protagonist, I will continue to watch this series.. Already hoping for more seasons to come.. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Well that's a damn shame. Do all LN adaptations start when the LNs are unfinished? |

| Sora managed to win the heart of the queen and get her to come over to his side. His epic face wnen he said that he would win without fighting was really great. Imanity (Humanity) is the weakest nation on Disboard (This board) LOL. Sora can really pull some fierce looking faces that have successfully made Kurami burst into tears Q.Q LOL at how Sora and Shiro played for 3 consecutive days to decide once and for all who is the best and who will be the king in name. Sora and Shiro are really taking their jobs as rulers seriously, they're going to make Imanity one of the best nations, if not the best, Sora can give some awesome speeches that could rival those of some historical figures. If Blank defeats every other nation they gain the right to challenge God himself, I smell me some Sora and Shiro Gods around the corner XD . I have only one concern, that Sora and Shiro will be so OP that they'll defeat everyone without too much of a struggle. I hope it won't come to that and that the rest of the nations will put up a good and even exploit their weakness (being apart). |
