Whenever something like that happens in a good book/game/show i just can't NOT to love it <3 Totally agree. I feel people hate this anime for it's fanservice rather than the games itself. I feel anyone who complained about fanservice should stop watching ecchi altogether. I just love the badass characters. One Outs anyone? Akagi anyone? Problem Children anyone? |
| 10/10 Best anime of this season. Can't wait for a second season! |
| izuna is prettier than the priest just saying although this show is great, i think it was a bit over rated 8/10 for this season |
 |
| Too much ass pulling. In either meaning. At least it was bad in some more or less charming way, so I can't say it was just bad. It was fine. Fine but nothing to remember or recommend. |

Omnime said: Well i don't know about you but meeting an old god seems better than a shota vampire.GreenBenjamin said: Because it can be fixed a bit depending on how future novels go. I think someone mentioned earlier it could be something like setting a date for their match, or maybe the author wanted to add something. It could be wrong, yeah but people are reacting like it is wrong. True, it's entirely possible. What's the different between giving a Vol 4 cliffhanger versus a Vol 6? It was like a sudden, okay I beat the werebeasts and we're allies. Now, I want to fight an OLD DEUS, #1!! Even if it wasn't that and just to talk to it. I'm really curious to see IF it does get a S2, how it'll fix itself. |
Omnime said: One Outs anyone? Akagi anyone? They handle the stakes way better. Both of these series actually aknowledge the inherent overpowered nature of their protagonists and focus on the games and side characters at times while also flatout stating that the MCs actually cheat and are far from noble, etc. NGNL is much more friendly towards its main characters at times, which might be due to the fact that it wants to appeal to lonely gamer otakus. Also, lol @ people ignoring Ping Pong or Mushishi for this. Or comparing it to HxH, which has 10x times better writing. |

At least Madoka had good writing and didn't put the characters in compromising positions to get male viewers aroused. Also, I don't recall Madoka's author bookmarking not only loli hentai, but hentai of his OWN CHARACTERS on his Pixiv account. |

| Absolutely outstanding! Without a doubt, my number one anime of spring season and so far the best one this year! 10/10 and waiting for season 2 now :) |
| Last episode went a bit quickly, a lot of things happen in the second half, but damn, that was fun. I didn't expect to enjoy it that much after ep1 even if it was good; NGNL really gained in awesomeness until the end. 9/10, really looking forward a second season now!! |
| Final score: 2/10 The last game is just... no... Even watching it just for "fun" is not working... |

To be honest, I don't particularly like ecchi myself, but... the games were too great for me to focus on fanservice, really, and the ecchi parts themselves were pretty light and short. And, yes, competent characters in anime for a change. |

And I also cut the top of this comment-train, because it's sheer size, even though it did little more, than add 2-3 lines each "incarnation", was beginning to grow intimidating. |
| What a ride! These 12 episodes have been hilarious and exhilarating from start to finish! Bring on Season 2!!!!! |
| I like anime and you like anime. We have more in common than you think..... |
Danpmss said: Rayzer said: This anime is kinda something more than just ecchi. It have a purpose behind the fanservice (and besides, is entertaining and genius with its themes and references), and I aprecciate it. Your ratings and comments in your Anime List was seriously bad... You really don't know how to appreciate things aren't you? There's really something wrong with you. Give me examples about how shitty is my taste, pal. If you can.[/quote] Please stop. Personal taste is an opinion regardless how ones personal taste of an anime can be to another person. It won't get anywhere. One will hate it. One will love it. "The whole story was stupid. They wasted their lives on for games? And most of all this Anime only has Game and Ecchi scenes and no others? So how do you think that it's not stupid?" Although, I have to question why you watched the anime when the title is "No Game No Life," with the Ecchi genre tag, yet you still watched it. Also, I think Highschool DxD has more erotic ecchi scenes than NGNL, a lot more lol. If you liked Highschool DxD, but not NGNL, it must be because of games. So in the end, I don't know why you decided to watch it. The synopsis points out it's about two NEET gamers. |
| Awesome, want a 2nd season within the next 2 years :3 |
 |
| NGNL wasn't bad. I still don't understand the crazy hype, but I enjoyed it. The fanservice was over-the-top, but instead of just being a tacked on element, it really did drive some of the plot, so I didn't mind. It was pretty funny. I found myself unsure of the direction of the plot many times throughout the show though. I enjoyed it for what it was - fanservice, comedy, and some epic moments, but I didn't really see it come together. I get that you're supposed to be like "wooah" when Sora explains everything in this episode, and it was cool, but it still doesn't override my thoughts about previous episodes. Still, Shiro is absolutely adorable, so everything is forgiven. ;) I'm simply not too interested, so I don't care much if we'll see a second season or not. But I'll watch if it does end up happening. :) Overall, 6/10. Favorite line of the whole show:  |

They're going to have to get all the pieces eventually, unless they're not going to showcase Tet vs Kuuhaku in anime form, why not just follow the story line. But I totally agree with the hype of an old god versus a loli vampire (it's a girl btw). |

I have the theory that each season needs one hyped anime that everyone can hype bandwagon-style. Sadly, this season's Mahouka proved to be too bad for this so they all switched to NGNL last minute. Next season we will see the same with SAO2, Akame Ga Kill and maybe one more anime. |

Two people have different taste. Not like this hasn't happen before. If two people have opposite taste, trying to have one party explain why the other party''s taste is shitty will never end. |
GreenBenjamin said: Why can't enjoyment be considered quality? high quality fun. Because I can enjoy trash as well? Sharknado, Symphogear, Daimidaler and The Room are by no means good yet I have fun. Likewise I don't need to enjoy something to recognize its quality - for me that would be Shinkai movies. |

For it's genre, is probably one of the best out there (my favorite is Ranma 1/2 tho). |

| Allright I just need to say this... I've seen a lot of people complain a lot about a lot of stuff in my time in the internet... I"m used to it, and usually even if I dont agree with such complains I do not mind it, or at least not enough to actually respond such people. BUT FOR FUCKS SAKES, THERE IS A LIMIT TO EVERYTHING I mean come on people, its obvious some folks will find flaws in it, not everyone will think it is pefrect, since peoles general tastes are different.... But to say it is "absolutelly shitty" or "crap" and stuff like that ? I wonder what Da Vinci level masterpiece would please such critics... Anyway, now all that is left is wait for the second season... please buy the damn BD's dear japanese friends |

Ranma and other series like Golden Boy had way more charm behind it then this. As for the ecchi..Daimidaler did it better this season. |

Nice way to conviently switch the argument...back in the Mahouka announcement thread you said that this would be the most hyped anime the next season and well: it was not. Um..Mahouka WAS one of the most hyped shows. It just didn't deliver. |

Also, lol @ people ignoring Ping Pong or Mushishi for this. Or comparing it to HxH, which has 10x times better writing. In my opinion, you can't watch Mushishi as a weekly show. It simply just doesn't fit it's style. Thus for me, even if I watched it (I'd prefer watching it's previous season first), wouldn't make the seasonal cut. On the other hand, PingPong, seemingly a sports-anime just doesn't make me interested. |

Well, that's your opinion, and kinda contradicts what you just said about Enjoyment =/= Quality. That doesn't apply for ecchi, comedies, etc... at all. Charm is having entertainment too, so, this is just favoritism (on both sides). |

| Hummm so has expected, this episode was a bit slower than the previous one, however I must admit it still add more action than I predicted... That final scene specially... the show should have ended with Steph and Ino joining forces as the poor creatures being put to work by the siblings, instead we got a Old Deus scene that never appeared before >_< Anyway, I still believe that even though this show was one of the top 3 of the season (together with Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou and Isshuukan Friends), I'll leave it with the 9/10 it deserves. In fact, if I had to make one complain regarding this show, that would be the fact that it deserved to be a 2 cour season, with these last 3 volumes being spread over 24 episodes instead of the current 12, which unfortunately led to a lot of information being dumped in each episode, while a lot of information was lost due to time limit constraints... But I would say this is a small complain for the excellent work Mad House did on this anime. I'm now hopping for a second season ASAP!!! |
Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |

He specifically in the novel says girl, so /shrug Not really. 男 and 女 are easily to distinguish. The only reason why Pitou is never classified as male or female is cause he/she wasn't. It was called Pitou to the end. Alluka on the other hand is definitely male, Killua confirms it or one of the brothers does. Something along the lines of "I will control both my little brothers." Killua and Allkua. |

Others, of course, just jump on the bandwagon and scream "ZOMFG AWESOME." Still others can happily point out the flaws as well as the good points and make a measured decision. It's not limited to this - I see it in every other form of entertainment out there. I'm going to tentatively give it a 7 myself. I'm still not a fan of the art style and the gimmicks the writer used are ones that tow a fine line between interesting and just plain lazy writing, with it too frequently feeling like it gravitates toward the latter. That being said, I found it to be one of the most entertaining shows of the past year, and hope to see more. And frankly, I've never felt particularly enthralled by "high art," which, in all truth, places the stories of and behind the paintings and artists above the actual quality of the work. It might have something to do with my generally utilitarian nature. |
