No Game No Life Episode 3 Discussion

I'm on the borderline now. Not because I can't enjoy a comedy/serious mix type of anime but because my expectation was for the more ridiculous comedy to be outside of the games rather than an integral part of them. I'll give it another couple of episodes though, maybe it'll grow on me.

i'm guessing no one realized that the Phones they have can detect if the opponent is using magic. that is why they were snapping so many pictures.

I seriously had no expections because of the tags. But then I saw the PV and it looked good so I decided to watch this. Best decision of my life. I actually enjoy the randomness and it's really entertaining for me. I just hope that this does not get repetitive since I do want different types of games and different ways to play them. Pretty sure this will happen. Also I'll probably check out the light novel.

This. I really like his voice. I'm sad though that some people only remember him because of Kirito. I think he has done way more better roles than Kirito.

Yeah i think we can officiially call this the best anime of the season... Again, it saddens me it will be just 12 episodes

To be quite honest, I find myself very disappointed with how this show seems to turn out.
I was ultra hyped for this anime after the first episode. I adore the art style (probably my favorite style ever) and I love the setting. I wanted it to become my favorite anime of all times, I tried so hard. But ever since episode 2, I just sit there and think "This shit is retarded".

I was hoping for a very intelligent series, with mind games, sudden twists and two characters whose brilliance would leave me in awe. Unfortunately, there is nothing intelligent behind the games. They seem to have no strategy or rules involved what-so-ever and the viewer is unable to follow anything logically. They just randomly throw in some cheating mechanism or "rules" for the heck of it, but there's nothing brilliant behind it. Sora tries too hard to be bad-ass and it starts to bore me, since despite the horrendous randomness of the games, Sora is sure to have figured it out, looking bad-assy at his opponent and throws out some quotes that somehow most of the audience seems to deem "cool". I don't even. And then the series completely stops to take itself seriously, throwing some moe-shit and bizarre, unfitting comedy into the mix, which leaves me embarrassed while watching the show that I wanted to love.

The show definitely has its moments, and those are the reasons I will try to keep on watching, but I feel it gave away the opportunity to become something magnificent - in order to become a mindless spectacle that wants you to switch off your brain.

Utterly dissapointed; its like the game system to solve problems is not interesting anymore when someone can just win with random bs.

Uhm, why do you think it was random. There was most certainly a logic to the game.

Kurami was cheating, she didn't want to play a straight "chess" game, so she pretended that the game had the element of the pieces have volition to explain away why her pieces could do things that they shouldn't be able to do in a normal chess game. Once she made that "rule" up Sora took advantage of it, if the troops had volition, then they would respond to motivation, so he gave an epic "General" speech, or appealing to a female character through what he learned from a dating game.

Of course his explanations were mostly done for comedic effect, but the game was most certainly "logical", based on the logic of this world.

Not sure I can stand another episode of No Game, No Life. Main Character is way too much of an asshole. He's just generally flat out disrespectful to pretty much everyone. I think the only iota of respect that kid has is reserved for his sister. First episode was kinda downhill with me, then the second episode just sort of took a giant leap off a cliff. This episode was better in that respect, but still.

It's like, holy s**t. Everyone in this anime is an asshole except for Steph and maybe Shiro (actually no Shiro's pretty much an asshole too in that she doesn't really care.)

Yeah that is sth I'm not really getting from all those negative comments...

This episode has me sold. Sora's personality is refreshing and fun, that motivational speech.
