I feel like this is a rather underrated anime. People watch the first episode of this and do away with it because they feel like they already know how it’s going to end. I believe that despite this, it should still be watched through completely because this anime is filled with a lot of emotion and doesn’t have a bad or bull sh*t ending. Anyone who rated it a 7 or below should probably rewatch it and see that it’s not as flawed as they believe.

Story: (9.5/10)
I found the story of this anime rather interesting and unique. Imagine knowing the exact time that a loved ... one would die; it would be heartbreaking and a terrifying thing to think about for them to wait until their time has come. Although i think it could’ve probably gotten a bit more in depth, but I’ll forgive this flaw do to the fact that it’s a romance anime and a great on at that. The story also allows you to appreciate the time you have with the ones you love more.

Art: (10/10)
The art in Plastic Memories is phenomenal it has a nice variety of colors and it properly sets the mood at certain points within the anime.

Sound: (10/10)
The opening is a great song that builds up emotions (especially when you look at the English translation on YouTube) and changes a slight bit as the anime progresses, the ending song is also very well done and is enjoyable enough to refrain from skipping, and the soundtrack in general along with the song “Again and Again” (one of the best songs in the anime). The voice acting is also good and fits the characters quite well.

Characters: (7.75/10)
Despite how much I love PlaMemo, I do believe that Doga Koba could’ve fleshed out the characters more. They did a good job on Isla by giving us a better understanding of her on why she is the way she is and her way of thinking. Tsukasa was an okay character. He was understanding and good person, but the problem was he wasn’t given a backstory at all, which was quite disappointing considering he was a main character. Kazuki was given a bit of a backstory which was nice but she wasn’t really around enough in the anime to be properly developed. Michiru was done decently as a character and was also given a good backstory along with her interactions and relationships with the other characters which made her enjoyable; although, I wish that she could’ve had more interactions with Isla and Tsukasa. Finally, the Giftias that they retrieve and people that own them. I believe that they had good relations with each in the fact that they didn’t want to let go because the Giftias were family to the people. They have a genuine bond with each other and it really gets you to feel for them.

Enjoyment: (10/10)
Plastic Memories made me cry at the end of almost every episode, making it the closest anime to even try to challenge Clannad: After Story in terms of sadness. It’s serious when it needs to be but is also funny at times which is nice. I feel like it was a rather realistic romance anime where a relationship is properly built over time (for Isla at least). I fell in love with the characters and really felt for their struggles. The ending was perfect in my opinion (the very end that is). The anime didn’t feel boring to me whatsoever and every bit was worthwhile.

Overall (10/10)
This anime will make you cry and feel a void in your heart by the end. I highly recommend this anime to all, but don’t nitpick every little bit until after you finish in order to get the best experience out of this. The characters were pretty decent, the art was amazing, the sound was perfect, the story was really good, and it was really enjoyable.

Never have I watched such an underwhelming show. No Game No Life was an overly hyped and poorly written show. I don't understand why this show even has an 8.36 rating, it's god awful and people don't even see it for themselves.

---Story--- (1/10)
The anime hardly has munch of a story to it, although it is a rather unique story. It started out with potential but as the episodes progressed it got worse and completely wasted its potential. The story didn't seem to go anywhere or it was all over the place which made the show somewhat hard to follow as to what was going on. ... The episodes we also seemingly stretched out to where Sora and Shiro playing one game that lasted about 2 whole episodes and the game didn't even make sense in the end which was frustrating! (Those that have watched the anime probably know exactly what game I'm referring to in particular). Also a lot of the anime seemed is purely for fan service (this is probably the main reason that this anime has such a high rating), which keeps the story from properly progressing.

---Art--- (9/10)
The art is rather lovely with it's bright, various colors which adds depth to the scenery but sometimes the art is overdone and puts a bit of strain on the eye but otherwise it's great.

---Sound--- (7/10)
The openings and ending songs of No Game No Life is really good but other than that there isn't much else to say due to their not really being a lot of music paying during the anime itself; therefore, giving a pretty low score. It could have had music during some of the games.

---Characters--- (1/10)
The characters in No Game No Life are very underdeveloped and have no depth to them and are used mostly for fan sevice. Stephanie doesn't even really serve a purpose within the anime despite her being a main character she is there just to be made fun of by everyone calling her a moron and she is basically used for fan service and nothing more. Jibril is, like Stephanie, a remotely useless character that is also yet again used mostly for fan service and is also underdeveloped character. Shiro is somewhat more developed but still doesn't show any significant character change which is a HUGE part of character development but she was, like almost all of the female characters, was used for fan service and remind you she is only 11! Shiro also seems to have a disturbing and perverse relationship with her brother, Sora. Zell had yet again a somewhat useless role, although she did serve a bigger role and more character development than Stephanie and Jibril, but she did serve the role of competing against Sora and Shiro in one of the games. She did have her thoughts and feelings expressed which was an improvement from Stephanie and Jibril. Sora on the other hand had a bit more character development than all of the characters and is an at least decent character.

---Enjoyment--- (2/10)
Despite the problems with the anime the show was somewhat enjoyable. The show was somewhat entertaining and funny which was a somewhat redeeming quality. However, it did no fully compensate for the problems within the anime. Due to the fact that the episodes seemed long, stretched out, and sometimes pointless along with it being hard to follow at times as to what was going on, I wasn't able to properly enjoy this anime to its full extent.

---Overall Score--- (3/10)
This show was rather disappointing and quite appalling as to how flawed it was. There seems to be more fan service than actual story which is saddening to say the least, along with underdeveloped and pointless characters. This anime was a waste of time to watch and one I wouldn't recommend to watch. I hope this helps other people see for themselves how bad this anime actually is and that this gets rated lower.
