| This was fun but everyone is hyping it up way too much. |

| No Season 2 No Life.. (9/10) |
| Haha, somehow I knew that Steph would be the one to save the day. Just wasn't sure how she was going to do it. Well... I NEED SEASON 2!!! I cannot get enough of how much Sora thinks ahead and watching everything set up for a victory! |
Rawrdaysgoby said: I would somewhat agree with this but stlll with what some people are giving it because of how other people are rating it is just sad. But I do suggest you read the Light novel starting from volume 1. More will be explained more will be cleared and when sora was gone ohhh boy was he really gone in the Light Novel. Before I started watching this show I was reading the Light Novel and I have said this show is going to skip a lot and it did. But they still made it hella entertaining. That is what an anime is suppose to do so no less then an 8. I avoided factoring in the novel because I've heard the pacing is messed up and they left several things out. I do like to read from people who have complaints with the adaptation who read the novels, as it's important to cover most of the aspects well enough. It's a shame most people are going to base this solely on the animated version, despite making those who take the time to read the novels and enjoy them feel offended. As much hate I give to SAO, at least some people still had the decency to compare with the novels and cover how much the adaptation skimmed over so that fills in some of the holes people had while watching. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |
Wait! so, if draw means both party wins Won't it obsolete the rule?? I mean, why play to win, let's just play for draw both sides happy Oh well, why would you care For all you know, this anime is perfect just because it fulfil your fantasy to live in a world where people are measured by their gaming skills |

| Here's what I don't understand about this episode. Since Steph was carried by an NPC, that would mean that she was in contact with an NPC, which in turn would drain her love power, which would lead her to become unable to fire. Did I miss something? o-o (Shiro's shot should replenish the meter, but it still took a while for it to reach the moment when she shot, considering how quickly it drained in Episode 11) |

| Fantastic episode and series overall. But one question though, what was the exact spell sora made steph pledge to? The subs are weird because it says to get steph to "follow everything shiro had written on the ground, but to forget it" so does steph follow or ignore? |

This cause her love power to deplete slowly again while on the npc. And because she was given the order to shoot straight when her love power became critically low, it was automatic |

I think that NGNL has singlehandedly broken the MAL rating system (if it wasn't broken already). At this point, I'm thinking that Blank has found some cheat to allow people to give it an 11/10 or something. |

| Steph confirmed to be best girl with how she saved the day. |
 |
| 5/10 Immensily overhyped but not a bad series. The hype surrounding it is ridiculous though |
| Damn this anime was a 10/10. What a fucking epic last episode too. And that cliffhanger! WOW we need a season 2!! When Madhouse makes an epic anime like this it almost makes you forget they were responsible for shows like the disaster known as Mahou Sensou. Need season 2 for more Jibril. Nuff said. |

Did I miss something? o-o (Shiro's shot should replenish the meter, but it still took a while for it to reach the moment when she shot, considering how quickly it drained in Episode 11) I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think the NPC has to be the one holding you for the drain to take effect, while the other way is netural. deanzel said: I think that NGNL has singlehandedly broken the MAL rating system (if it wasn't broken already). At this point, I'm thinking that Blank has found some cheat to allow people to give it an 11/10 or something. Now stop right there mate. 11/10 is something that very VERY few things in the world deserve. To give a few examples, creating a utopia in less than 20 years nets you an 11/10 for effort. 5 or less, if you want it for efficiency. 11/10 is earning 2, I repeat TWO Medals of Honor in a single day. The anime is far from reaching those heights, and very few people would go, and rate it that. (Actually, getting a single 11/10 rating per 100 (or 250, or 500) anime you've seen looks like a pretty cute idea : )) |
| this was very entertaining 9/10! need 2 seazon! |
| 9/10. Incredible. It's obvious they're pushing into the second season if the sales are profitable. |

| "Burn the heretics" |
| Story was great, games were great, characters were boring, other then Steph and Jibril. No explanation on how retardedly high skilled Sora or Shiro were. That was the problem i have with this series. Also no way an FPS game would handle like a real life simulator shooting game, Shiro should not be able to shoot like that. Unless she isnt human which i am starting to think neither Sora and Shiro. Im fine with some of their wins like the one with Jibril because it make sense, they have the knowledge to do so. The match against Kurami was already pretty bullshit but still acceptable, but the battle against the Eastern Federation was pretty dumb. Explanations made sense but it was way too ridiculous to actually pull off. There was never a point in the show where i expected Sora to lose which is what ruins the tension of the battle. To be honest i love this concept, but its not fun when everything ends up just the way Sora and Shiro plans it out to be. 7/10 still a great show. |
Awesome Sig by Lailide |
| I got brained-fu**ed. I didn't expect Sora to plan that far ahead inside the game, (though his external plans were a lot more realistic). I feel like it'll get stale in season 2 because I'm getting really annoyed at how Sora and Shiro are able to plan every little detail out (hell, they even planned for the blood rage). Though I'm feeling they'll have a hard time with Tet and their policy of "never lose" will be put on the line. 9.5/10 |
|
| 10/10 kuuhaku never loses. What a finale, and cliffhanger. Season 2 is a must. Irrelevant but I got my order in for volume 1 of the bluray, cant wait to see this beauty in hd |
 |
| Very good series |
| Very good series, but too much overrated. 8/10 |
Murasa22Jun 25, 2014 11:20 PM
| 10/10 I enjoyed watching it and I hope there will be a Season 2. Some people are saying that there won't be a second season because Madhouse don't continue their LNs. |
| Damn. This show blew me away from episode 1. 10/10. |
 |
| Oh we're posting our ratings? 7/10. The show is fairly bad, but has a number of redeeming moments. If it weren't for it's painfully colour contrasting art style (that's a good thing) and the reasoning behind "Blank's" recent victory (very clever and well thought out) this show would easily fall to a 5 maybe 4. I initially thought that it would be terrible because it seems to be coming from a video game-esque standpoint, but not so much so. The concept instead is wonderful and not something I've seen before. Manipulation of the ten rules is very intriguing everytime it occurs. Overall I enjoyed watching this series and hope it can gain support for more seasons. Man I hate open ended finales! |

 |
| Best show of this season for me... Shiro and Sora... |
| Now to wait patiently to see if their will be a season 2. |
 |
| This was surprising more entertainment than I thought it would be. |

Especially from a time-saving aspect, which, as throughout the season, this show did way too often. However, you seem to ignore the werebeasts' standing. they are in no real position to make very high demands, because if they make a demand, that is asking for too much, the game will be refused, Evlen Garde, or Avant Heim would have either had a game with them, or their technological advancements would have been worn away, and bye-bye comfortable Information-Age lifestyle. (back to the hard middle-ages). So they decided not to push their luck with the bets (also, chances are, should Miko had said anything, that wouldn't have allowed a mutual coexistance, Sora would have refused rather swiftly, or forced a change to something he would have preferred. Still, the main point is, when someone is holding a gun to your head (from behind you), your first words won't be you demanding them to surrender. You will probably start pleading for your life. |
| And so it ends. Quite a lot of cheating, some nice humor, great characters but I didn't enjoy the show as much as I thought I would after first two episodes. Probably not going to watch 2nd season. 5/10, not my cup of tea. |
Knightmaretiger said: Hehe wow,I read the LN but i did not expect Miko to be a rank 1... Not really. They say Miko are the mediums of the gods or something. So he correctly guessed she was a medium to make contact with the Old Gods. But damn, that ending was a teaser. It's like a cliffhanger, for action. |
| This series surpassed my expectations. Regardless of its many faults, it was still entertaining, thus it's a 7/10 in my book. Do I think it deserves being in the top 30? Absolutely not, but I understand why it would appeal to a lot of people, so I'm not going to complain any further about it. I'll be looking forward to the second season if it comes around. |
| Oh my God, look at that rating. And here I heard people saying that it will be in 40-50 lines. I said that if it continued to be this good, then it will definitely be in top 30, and I was not wrong. HELL YEAH, DORA ROCKED THERE! Too bad, it was blank plan but oh well, it was Dora who made it happen. I have no regrets. Their gambled worked and they really took over Eastern Federation. Solid anime from start to finish but yeah, what I don't like about it pretty much remained the same (the whole genius theme) I still loved Dora, Jibril, Kurami, the game, the music and esp. the art. The team did an amazing job .Also Miko is pretty damn fine. I think Kurami developed the most. Also Jibril and Dora. 8/10 Despite my complaints, I still enjoyed it a lot. I just hope it sells well (It was selling surprisingly less, in 4000s as far as I remember... Seriously Japan?) I want a 2nd season. |
 |
| Oh yeaaaaah, Steph saved the day but they gave us a cliffhanger ending with some spoilers from the LN. Either way, my perspective from this show changed, so 8 becomes 9/10. What a ride! |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| good ending for the next season (if they make it), fine series in general. blank never loses, good got that noted down for the 20th time |
 |
| well this anime has it superb ups and slightly downs , but all the time the show is very much exciting as every episode ends . 10/10 for the series .. |
| I can't wait for a second season! Damn Izuna is going full beast mode lol! 9/10 |
StefanMZJun 26, 2014 2:31 AM
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| God dammit there better be a second season! But >Madhouse so I'm worried... Lets hope it sells well, If it licensed In UK/AUS/NZ then I'll definitely be buying - but it's the Jap figures shows go by. |

You fail to understand here that sora had given her two options. Either they both lose or they both win. Now according to your conditions, they both could have easily chosen the former option and that would suffice the pledges. Haters just want to create flaws where there are none and confuse others who love the show. |

-Yuki- said: Here's what I don't understand about this episode. Since Steph was carried by an NPC, that would mean that she was in contact with an NPC, which in turn would drain her love power, which would lead her to become unable to fire. Did I miss something? o-o (Shiro's shot should replenish the meter, but it still took a while for it to reach the moment when she shot, considering how quickly it drained in Episode 11) It is very simple. The order of sora was that once steph's love power was restored wait until her(steph's) energy is just about to run out and then fire a shot straight ahead. As she is in contact with an NPC, obviously her power is decreasing. Shiro calculated the location at which Steph's power will run out and lured izuna to that location. Then the order is executed according to the pledges and she fires the shot |
