No Game No Life attempts to fool people into thinking it's smarter than it really is.
No Game No Life is an anime by the studio Madhouse famous for works such as “Hunter x Hunter” and “One Punch Man”. It’s about two NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) siblings named Sora and Shiro (A.K.A. 『 』or Blank) who are the best game players in the world. It doesn’t matter which ga…
Read full review on AniList →Its fun-ish. Not really though. In reality it blows. But its not downright boring, so that's a plus.
No game No life is a rather overrated anime.
NGNL is about Sora and Shiro - two legendary gamers. They go by the name "Blank" (represented by a blank space) and unbeatable in any game. The genre doesn't matter, the rules don't matter. As long as the game isn't impossible, blank never loses. Then s…

The apex of degenerate escapism. If you're rich, popular, or just generally happy with how your life is going, this anime won't hit you with the same spark it does for others. This anime caters towards the degenerates and losers that spend all day playing games, and wasting their time goofing off. I…
Read full review on AniList →NGNL is often viewed as mediocre anime riding on popular tropes, but I see it as an amazing melding of gaming cultures.
_NGNL is my favorite title of all time, so please read on being fully aware that this is purely subjective and almost certainly biased point of view._
I love isekai genre, mainly because it's so perfect at setting up something I like to call "care-free adventure". While you can have something like…
Read full review on AniList →No Game No Life fails at everything it attempts to do
No Game No Life is one of those anime where you can tell the producers were throwing ideas at the wall to see which one stuck. And this is the one that ended up sticking. It is the worst anime I have ever come across. I completed it back when I would force myself to finish every show I started. Beca…
Read full review on AniList →The show is entertaining in parts and unique, however make fun of abuse and the characters is hollow.
Ok to start the world itself is fun and the fact they follow their own law is nice to see. This has made the world feel more immersive as a whole. Though the way that characters refer to threats such as war is baffling as war doesn't actually exist and people can just choose not to play a game or fi…

Flourishing aesthetics come a long way in holding a show up from just being average or forgettable. Sometimes loving a show for its robust and energetic personality can be a blessing and a curse. Then again, it all com…

No game no life... It's amazing! The characters, the structure, the art... It's so good!
The characters doesn't really develop in the anime but you get to know more about the main characters and their background story. It doesn't hurt the rating for this anime in my opinion since the story develop…
Read full review on AniList →Interesting neon-like anime art and lovely concept. A little disturbing with very bad characters.
(Spoiler free review, TL;DR parts added)
__The story: 4/10__
The synopsis and the general idea are very interesting. A brocon loli and her 18 y/o brother, with absolutely no parental guidance get thrown in a world of games with no explanation, everything is settled by games then. I ignored the no b…

Across the wide, wondrous world of the internet, there is one name that strikes fear into the hearts of online gamers everywhere: Blank. Nothing is really known about this entity, from their gender, to where they came from, to even how many members there are. All that is known is that once they c…

1. no violence
2. all disputes will be decided by games
3. for those games, both parties bet with things of equal value determined by the participants
4. rules and bets of the game can be arbitrary
5. the challenged party decides the rules of the game
6. once a game is decided, bets will be enforced…
Read full review on AniList →Disboard as a rabbit hole and a comfortable cage. The games, the Blanks, and whether this is still worth reading.
Have you ever had those existential clicks when the world around you starts to feel like another session of [The Sims](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims)? When the people walking past suddenly look like NPCs running the simplest Python scripts on loop? I am sure it has happened more than once.…
