Based Madhouse. In other words, it's an "over-the-top ecchi comedy with a story", and none of those criticisms were of how the show does that badly. Thus they were simply criticisms based on your taste, but your taste alone does not make something mediocre. There is hardly any denying that the show is good at what it does, and that's why it's as popular and ranked as highly as it is. Oh my god. You people....that's still the lamest defense I will ever see for a show and yet gets used so often and basically is an argument that says there is no valid way to criticize something for not meeting expectations bases on the theory that it was never meant to in the first place. It's such convenient bullshit when you just get to dismiss any persons criticising of the show by saying that its just it not meeting there expectations. Guess fucking what, its still a criticism and you can be as dismissive of it as you want but its still not going to change peoples opinions. That's up to the show itself. Sorry I'm not just settling for the mediocrity the show gives me and voting perfect scores every week just because it settles for mediocrity itself and I'm apparently supposed to just accept that for what it is. Something can be designed to do something lesser than what the viewer would have liked and people can still find it bad. The show doesn't meet my standard for good, fucking deal with it and stop trying to argue that my own standards and receptions are invalid because they don't meet people's ever sliding scale of standards. ....yeah... no superiority complex at all... Sarcasm aside, sorry, but saying "This show is mediocre" is not the same as "I think this show is mediocre". One will be treated as a fact, the other opinion. And obviously, what you said is not a fact. A question I want to ask. Why did you care so much about other people's views on this show? I tried to look for something pleasant from you and honestly I could not find it, at least on anything related to NGNL. you even bash this show on the crew's comments.It is almost as if you hate the show. Why is that I wonder... About this show is popular because of hype.. I usually watch baka-tsuki's recent changes regularly and read any of the light novel that I like the synopsis. I stumbled upon NGNL and like it, then looking at anichart I found out that NGNL would have an anime adaptation, and so far I like it. I rarely go to anime community like this site, but on ep 6 I came here to find an explanation for the "Eos Lumos" and others. So am I liking this anime because of hype? A little courtesy can go a long way You get what you give as I keep saying, it's not a superiority complex, some people are just behaving childishly. This latest argument all started with some smart ass basically asking critics of the show to come out and play to which I'm more than willing to oblige. I don't know, I don't know how anybody could possibly see anything special in this show, but unlike some I'm not trying to stop people from having those opinions, yet some of this shows fans seem to crave conflict with it's detractors so it's certainly an interesting message being sent my way. Anyway I'm not going to talk much about the hype wave this show is riding anymore because if people don't see it that way there's really not much else to be said there. Also I've already said I think not everyone is claiming this show is an objective masterpiece because of the hype wave, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between who and who isn't though. I also don't particularly hate this show, but I was actually kind of expecting to enjoy it because it's premise seemed neat on paper. I definitely have a distinct loathing for this shows more obnoxious and defensive fans, but that's kind of a separate issue. DreamingBeats said: ITT: "how dare you criticize my favorite show, i'll fight till the end until you admit that this series is a masterpiece" It almost seems that way doesn't it? Like I have to wonder what people like Takuan Soho's goal is. Do they expect me to suddenly just go, "oh yeah the show meant it that way so that must mean it's all okay and it's great" just out of the blue because he keeps trying to hammer in that I need to lower my standards or whatever his point is cause I've got news for people that think it's going to happen like that. |
| Well, no episode has been boring, its highly enjoyable. I could see why it climbs up every week. |
| I like this show and i would guess 30-50. But seriously, who gives a shit about a show's rating. The only thing I use the ratings for is to find decent shows. There is a greater likelihood that I will also like a highly rated show (law of averages) but a few of the top rated shows have been quite mediocre from my point of view. If I like a show that's badly rated it doesn't change my opinion. |

| Don't you guys think you should just drop this ridiculous argumentating already? Feels like everything has been said already. Let's just agree to disagree, there's really no point in continuing this. This post will probably be ignored though |

Some may find it "ultra kawaii desu, I want the same ultra sugoi imouto-chan too!!!!! x333" but I just find it retarded as heck. 2. Throwing "mathematics" or even science into this is completly bananas. They had like three turns during the poker game but our standout student with excellent influence from MMORPGs managed to predict everything. You can count cards, that is correct, but being this certain about the next move is just the self-insert and wish-fulfillment thinking which triggers the "ZOMG so awesome :OOO!!!!" in most of the viewers. 3. The chess game "plot twist" just seemed way too convenient in episode 3. 4. Sora had his eyes closed while the cards were shuffled but he managed to find out Steph did a "forbidden" shuffle. What the hell is a "forbidden" shuffle anyway? He probably listened to the rythym of the cards being shuffled, right? 5. 33 seconds instead of 30 for one turn after removing the girls clothes in episode 6 (It's debateable whether or not these 33 seconds took place inside Sora's head) 6. Around 1 minute between "eye fuel" and "lithosphere" in episode 6. (It's not debateable if this minute took place in anyone's head or not. It was a straight-forward conversation) as much as i'm a ''hater'' of this show, some of your points are invalid. 1. this does not cause a contradiction in the story, and is therefore NOT a plothole 2. not a plot hole 3. convenient =/= plot hole. bad writing? maybe, but not a plot hole, because it does not create contradiction in the story 4. what 5. a bit inconsistent, but i wouldn't call this a plot hole, as it does not affect the storyline in any significant way |

It's more something like if a person acts like an immature asshat I have no obligation to be particularly polite to that person. Honestly most people on this site probably wouldn't get it since it's a matter of principle but whatever. What I do find interesting though is that you used the word fanboy and seemed to imply that they were active in the thread. You said it this time not me... |
| With the most recent episode, I noticed that the rank went from like #64 to #54. If the episodes keep doing this to the score, I could see it getting rank 30-49 by the end of the series. |

If the story can carry the twist out properly it shouldn't have too much trouble getting top 50. Though really that sounds hard to believe. I half expect the ending to suck really hard |

| I don't even know if I should watch this show anymore. I thought it might be good because of the high rating. But "stuck in game world", "wish fulfillment perfect male protagonist", "harem", "fanservice" are all elements have been overdone to death in anime and are guaranteed to get high scores on MAL just for fulfilling these criteria. The skyrocketing score shows how easy stuff like this pleases the 'otaku' demographic. Sigh. |

The only one i can think of is the monogatari series season 2. Because it was done so often it's really easy to get an average score but ranking top 60 is hard. |

The skyrocketing score shows how easy stuff like this pleases the 'otaku' demographic. Sigh. So basically you decided to bash on a story you don't like, just because you believe there is too many trend tendencies on this anime right? This even though the story is classified under the following categories: Adventure, Comedy, ECCHI, Fantasy, Supernatural Well, if you feel that bad about this show, which to many people is probably one of the best of this year spring season, then why don't you go watch some other overrated anime stories over there... Here, considering the way you trashed, I bet this is one of those stories animes you think should be anime of the century or some crap like that Mekakucity Actors (#917) I honestly don't know how, but this story anime was able to get to the top 900(!!!) Well in my opinion, any rating that sets a anime with no plot and development but only character backstories over the top 1500 is overrated, but who knows maybe a story anime (why do I keep on trying to call "story" to something that lacks exactly that?!?) that tries to focus on the ending songs and on a overboard Shaft animation is probably something up your alley... In fact there seems to be no harem/fan service there, hell, there's not even a animation worthy of taking notice since most character drawings seem to be used and reused time and time again... (on a side note, what's up with the girl in the scarf always bending her waist like she's showing her ass to someone behind her???) This is only my opinion, but I believe No Game No Life was able to very successfully join and balance in one single story the comedy, the fan service, the coherency and the game strategy in order to fully maintain a great position on MAL (my bet somewhere between #60/#100). Don't get me wrong, I'll admit that on some shows out there your comment would make a lot of sense, for example Black Bullet (#797) - don't ask me how it got to this ranking - and Seikoku no Dragonar (#3243) are stories that the anime creators most definitely were not able to keep from crashing on the ridiculous fan service/harem paradise route. I could even say that on the opposite direction in my opinion there are shows like Akuma no Riddle (#1906) - should be closer to the 3 digit ranking like #1000/#1500- and Selector Infected WIXOSS (#2742) - should be somewhere between #1500/#2000 - that are not receiving the response they should be receiving from the majority of the MAL users. Luckily there are also other stories like Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou (#596) which seem to be taking a ranking place more close to what they deserve... although some better ranking would probably be more deserving.

Although I don't share the same opinion as you, I still think that you should give the anime at least a try? Maybe it will change your opinion. Hehe ^^ It's not on my priority list, but I think I might give this anime a try sometime. It's just all these elements, especially the implied incestous lolicon, really do not appeal to me. We'll see. |
