Mixed Feelings
Characters can be over-the-top and be okay. Characters can be portrayed as anime Einstein and be okay. Characters can be glorified basement dwellers and be okay. However, this anime's downfall is that it took itself seriously when the neet protagonists (the poster children of /r/iamverysmart) are complete jokes.

I did not once buy into thinking they were hot pieces of shit because they simply weren't; it was uninteresting to watch them take over this virtual reality world with poorly-masked conflicts that were no match for their supposed superior intellect. Who actually obtains this kind of intelligence while mashing every available limb and digit on keyboards and joysticks? How can anyone possibly argue that this show is anything above a mediocre rating (which is rather generous to begin with) when it isn't even an enjoyable portrayal of exaggerated and self-proclaimed badassery?

No Game No Life is disappointing at the least, annoying at best. If you want an anime about something game-related, look elsewhere.
