Caleb8980 said: O_O I just have found a soulmate! :-D Now a bit more serious: You are making good points concerning their characters in your post. Especially how the ED shows how they really are and what they faced in their past. Also the point about that you don't need a likeable main char in here. Actually I have to say that I respect the author for making human trash the main chars, not trash because they are shut-ins but because they have awful personalities. This would take courage, seeing how nowadays 95% (exaggerated obviously) of all main chars are Mr. Nice Guys. This btw doesn't mean I dislike nice MCs, but it is refreshing to have the opposite for once. Thanks xD I tried to understand if I liked Sora because I'm a girl loool. I mean it is possible that male watchers would dislike him more than females right? But nah. I can't really blame him for wanting certain things, doesn't look out of place in his case anyway. He enjoys having control over the game and that is perfectly logical and fitting. Plus I think Shirou is the "evil' one, in the sense that no matter how intelligent she is, she still lacks in terms of real life/real ppl experience... They say kids can be very cruel >.> I really like their characters and the way the author picked their personalities too :> and I like how they go together |

Amar0k said: Sorry, I don't understand much Japanese, so can someone explain why they needed a piece of paper with empty-headed academic on one side, and Coulomb's force on the other. Couldn't they just write it down on the paper when the time came? Also, I don't understand why Jibril assumed they would loose if they couldn't talk. There's other ways to write besides magic. I feel like I'm missing something here because these questions are more or less about the same thing 1. They're flying in the middle of space to their death. They don't have the time to just whip out a pencil and right the word down. Planning ahead. 2. Arrogance |

lupadim said: WAY too much fanservice And you noticed this after 6 episodes? lol |
Takuan_Soho said: Normally I would agree with you, but I think there is a world of difference between shows that use fanservice because they have nothing else, and shows that use fanservice as a self-referential joke. I would put this show into the latter camp (Kenzen Robo Daimidaler is another example of this). Self referential Joke, that's such a poor excuse. Face it buddy it's got excessive fan service whether people like it or not. |
| I knew this anime wasn't for me afterall. I knew I wasn't the target audience from the beggining (and it's clear as the sun who is the target audience). Will pick it up when it's finished, and watch it in one sit, probably. Dropped. |
| Skyrim <3 This anime is great, ugh.. and the colors, so pwetty *-* At first episode i was disappointed because i was expecting something similar to SAO, but i'm glad i continued, phew. |

| So... Jibril use some kind of unknown magic for her first word and not using it again throughout the whole game? Or am I missing something and somehow she can't use it because a word that Sora use? |
 |
| That was ... freaking epic as all hell O_O I didn't really understand the game they were playing ... so they had to use a word that started with the last syllable in the previous word? Even without really understanding the rules, they started the game by blowing up the world and then ended with breaking physics and causing a hypernova. Plus, I learned something today, as it caused me to look up 'coulomb force' to see why exactly that would cause a hypernova. Since that's the force that causes subatomic particles to repel or attract one another based on charge, that would cause protons and electrons to be brought together through gravitation. While I'm not a physicist OR an astrophysicist, that would certainly wreck havoc upon the physical universe. Whether it would cause a hypernova doesn't really matter; it was epic, so it happened. Liked the fanservice too, even though by the time the girls got naked they had neither 'hooter nubs' (what a weird translation), or 'nether regions', so they all had Barbie doll anatomy. Sexy, in a slightly disturbing sort of way. Then again, anime often removes the yummy bits from naked females without any explanation whatsoever, so it was amusing that they gave a reason for none of them to have nipples or pixelated vaginas. Fucking LOVE this show ... it had kinda slowed down a bit last episode, but that was probably the most epic game I've ever seen. Unfortunately now I have to wonder if the series has blown its wad already and everything from here is kinda a let-down (see the Saber fight from Prisma Ilya). |
| Ok this is too much...i can't stop loving this,each episode is getting better & better :D 10/10 <3 I don't even want to say nothing about how he won because that was absolutely fantastic. Gosh that Angel <3 I love her omg!!! She is so cute & that voice <3 Jibril <3 :D And those wings :3 OMG Sora have the same girl tastes like me,he prefere to see them too like i do (not naked but with stocking,shoes) x10000 better than just naked,i just love this guy,and those 3 were so hot omg <3 All 3,i can't even chose which was the best because there wasn't a Nº1,they are all amazing :D So hot,i can't so thinking about them ahaa ^^ They won and now Jibril belongs to him <3 yeeeees! |

Caleb8980 said: Mmm, yeah, no, Sora never said "Elemental Gallery", or at least he never said that in the anime. All he erase is the spirit-something-circuit, but that only make Jibril lose some psychical ability like flying. And yes, I do familiar with the shiratori rules.doraemon1992 said: So... Jibril use some kind of unknown magic for her first word and not using it again throughout the whole game? Or am I missing something and somehow she can't use it because a word that Sora use? Well for 2 reasons: after Sora said Elemental Gallery, she couldn't use spells anymore and also just because she had already said it and saying it again would make her lose the game; you are only alllowed to say each word once ;-) So, @Takuan_Soho too, that means Jibril is still able to use a lot of magic word that we will never know, like that barrier magic she used as her first word. From all the magic word she can use, nothing can save her from the inability to fly/breathe/explosion? She really did try hard to lose imo :D Takuan_Soho said: In all due respect, I can't follow that logic. So, she wouldn't do something to prevent her from losing because it's the same as admitting that she lose?even assuming that she could have done something, I don't think she would have, because it would have been the same thing in her mind as losing. |

Takuan_Soho said: Since when it's implied that by using a magic word, like the first barrier, hurt her pride as it's like she's stepping on an ant? She just said that she used it to further the game, but not implying anything that by doing so it means that she goes past her pride as a superior being. And no, I'm not talking about the magic that she uses to write, but any magic that may prevent her from losing, like flying magic? or we must assume that there's no magic that begin with the letter "A" or "E" that may help her to win? If yes, then I would close my case. But if no, then like I said, Jibril does try so hard to lose. =pdoraemon1992 said: In all due respect, I can't follow that logic. So, she wouldn't do something to prevent her from losing because it's the same as admitting that she lose? You have to think of it from Jibiri's point of view. Humanity was supposed to be lower than ants to her, so imagine you are playing a game with an ant, and the ant is about to defeat you, and the only thing you can do to win is to step on the ant, what does that really say about you? Would you really think that you "won" that game? Stepping on that ant would actually be WORSE than losing, because not only have you lost, but you actually threw your pride away to pretend otherwise. Using magic to write a character is a far cry from using magic to win. He took away her voice, so all she was showing was that she could communicate without a voice. That was keeping with her policy. Now again I don't think she had enough magic to stop a hypernova (since she mentioned that stopping the atomic bomb was her most powerful shield magic). I do think that falling into the Earth's core wouldn't have bothered her, and she showed that she really didn't need air to survive, but the hypernova was too much too fast for her to stop. So again, I am only playing a game and assuming she COULD have used magic at that point. But to use such awesome magic would have been the same as stepping on the ant. She could have done it, but where is the pride in that? Oh, and she does need air, otherwise why would she said it? her downfall is that she doesn't know how oxygen is poisonous in low-pressure place (according to Sora anyway) I can also arguing that she has time to write another word since she spend that so much time thinking back on how she loses. But then I remember that in animu/mango logic, a thinking process exist in different dimension with slower time hahaha |

I'm probably different as I think it got old really fast and don't really see the appeal of it in general. People into loli and imouto pandering. <- Subjective. I don't even mind the over-sexualization of Shiro so much (actually I do). But this is necessery to be part of the audience. There's more, but I don't want to look like a hater. Don't get the wrong impression, I can see why people can enjoy this, and I understand why people are giving out high scores such as 8, 9... But due to multiple reasons, I just can't find myself enjoying it, to the point I keep looking at the timer to see if it's over - and when that happens I think it's time to drop. Anime that make the episode apparently be 5 minutes long, despite having actually 20 minutes usually make into my favorites. And with this one what happened was the opposite. |
Takuan_Soho said: So basically the reason Jibril lose is because she underestimate Sora God-like thought process to the very end? I can take that, thanks for clearing that upAnd if you think about it, not having oxygen may not kill her. When she uses her last word (that was written with magic), she still use an ineffective word (the educator one) even though she is in an airless condition. That means she basically choose to wait for Sora to receive the 30-sec penalty or pass out, hence we can assume that she doesn't need air because she choose to wait instead of going for offense. But that also means her move to enable air is actually another attempt from her to save sora and prolong the game!! Holy shit, again, Jibril does try sooooo hard to lose that game hahaha you know, either that or Jibril is just really stupid despite supposedly being a knowledge God... |

The translator simply went full retard on the game's words is all. All the Elemental Jibril had was what constituted as her, meaning, that all she had in her was enough for her to survive, but little more. Had she used any spells in that state would have killed her. (don't know hoe fast, since there hasn't been an explanation as how a Flugel dies, when starved of Elemental, but I1d imagine something simmilar to being bled out). 2 - And as I said before, her using any spell to protect herself would have probably resulted in her killing herself. (eg - Elona Overcasting) |

I share your sentiments, I just find it really hard to see what makes it so unique though. The Ledouche NEET wish-fulfillment characters? Oh boy, we haven't had enough of those in recent years. The fanservice? Just the usual stuff we get every season. The "humour" aka references? Yeah, standard as well. The colors/filters? Ok, I admit that it looks a bit different. But so do Jojo, Ping Pong, Sidonia and a few other series this season and the seasons before - actually, they actually have a different style compared to NGNL that is honestly just pretty generic with more shiny and bright colors. The games? Well, as doraemon already said a lot of it is based on rather loose connections and ranges from hard-to-swallow explanations that break suspension of disbelief to straightup DEM. Look at Kaiji if you want to see creative solutions that actually do not expect me to celebrate an ADHD combo of randumb stuff just because Blank are so cool. It is a by-the-book standard product that is not outstanding in any way except its BLATANT glorification of NEETs and gamers. I assume this is also the reason why so many people love it. Even SAO was a bit more subtle than this here. Btw, why did Jibril speak English and then couldn't understand the language in the books of Sora? I assume that if she knows English she must be proficient in the main Earth languages. She is in general quite dumb for a being that is suppsoed to be vastly knowledgable and intelligent. Also, this entire "master" situation... please do not tell me she wears a fucking maid outfit later on. My stupid fanservice senses are tingling. |

"English" (well, Engrish, actually) was actually a language Jibril made up in her free time. And just to calm your nerves, no Jibril is more of an assailant, that a victim herself. So unless MH goes and does things on their own, there won't be maid clothes on Jibril... or anyone other than real maids... Also, please stop comparing a turd sandwich and a full-course meal, just because you don't like the veggies and the side dishes. |
Z3noN said: Well, this episode was way too absurd with this guy and his pseudo imba knowledge and pseudo tactics to counter anything. It's ridiculous! This anime is even worst than SAO... -.- Remember the rock-paper-scissors episode with the superior claptrap? This guy is too overpowered and it's getting boring.. No character development. Z3noN said: ImTheGuy said: Whoever is the author/creator of this probably has one of the best minds/imagination ever. That was a fantastic episode. Can't agree. It's just a stupid pseudo anime like sao with serious flaws in story structure and character design. WE GET IT U HATE SAO! STOP TRYING TO START ARGUMENTS! |

I want sub that retain original meaning. Eveyuu translated the game how it should have been done. |
Takuan_Soho said: Hey, I just summarize what you were saying man, and it's true right? Jibril underestimated Sora because of her pride as a "superior being", and ultimately Sora win because he exceed that expectation. So which part did I get it wrong? XDdoraemon1992 said: So basically the reason Jibril lose is because she underestimate Sora God-like thought process to the very end? I can take that, thanks for clearing that up Ah, that is a pretty little strawman you drew there, I guess you would be the type to step on an ant so you can pretend to have "won". |

Takuan_Soho said: :/Jibiriru didn't "underestimate" Sora.. Jibiriru underestimated EVERYTHING Dude, Jibril underestimate Sora (unless Sora is not included in that "everything"), because she "overestimate her own intelligence", I get it hahaha Oh, and that "God-Like" is just me being a tease since so far as I can see, he's quite OP on all these mind games so far XD Takuan_Soho said: I said that it's magic or something that she knows a human/imanity would not be able to do, since she was also talking about "a wall that humanity can't surpass" while doing that.We don't even know she used "magic" to write in the air, she could have done her race's equivalent of writing in blood. That she used her forefinger suggests that. If it's just her own way of writing, she should be aware that Sora can still write since she knew he possess a paper and pencil. Ofc, unless Jibril is so... you know... anyway, I close my case here. It's clear that we aren't getting to understanding on this topic. Still, thank you for the discussion ;) |

| Lol, this is like arguing in 1984 against people who practice doublethink. I still find it funny that the game they played is an ancient Japanese word game even though they don't even know Japanese... wait, don't all these characters speak Japanese by default? I mean, Sora and Shiro are Japanese, right? And they do not seem to speak another language in this world.... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| 5/5 Jibril is out like a balcony, but it is also sadistic at the same time; Sora and Shiro as well. LOLOL Episode enjoyable, the plot has provided a pastime better than the last. A game is not so far-fetched, but well-reasoned. Narration questionable in some places by someone, I have a limited understanding of what would bring all actions undertaken. Eventually unable to carry out his dirty work, the narrative. Discrete designs, perhaps the Madhouse understood what point in this spring season. Jibril is too nice, I'm curious to see the next episode. |
 |
| Every time I re-watch this episode I notice new things; such as when there is only oxygen they use circulation breathing to create carbon dioxide; also when Jibril uses their word against them, it disappears on the piece of paper The detail in this really is hard to notice but shows that each action is strategically thought out by the writer |

Sora was shocked, that he couldn't read a book in the human language, despite being able to converse with them properly. In the end, it was explained as "the spoken form is the same, while the written form differs" from Japanese. |
