This is a surreal comedy that follows Sora and Shiro, shut-in NEET siblings and the online gamer duo behind the legendary username "Kuuhaku." They view the real world as just another lousy game; however, a strange e-mail challenging them to a chess match changes everything—the brother and sister are plunged into an otherworldly realm where they meet Tet, the God of Games. The mysterious god welcomes the two to Disboard, a world where all forms of conflict are settled through high-stake games. This system works thanks to a fundamental rule wherein each party must wager something they deem to be of equal value to the other party's wager. In this strange land where the very idea of humanity is reduced to child’s play, the indifferent genius gamer duo of Sora and Shiro have finally found a real reason to keep playing games: to unite the sixteen races of Disboard, defeat Tet, and become the gods of this new, gaming-is-everything world.

"If you can ignore some of the very Japanese things this show does, it's an absolute 10/10 of a story. Every episode outdoes the other and there's absolutely no filler. "

"I love how unashamed this show is in its love of “otaku culture” for a lack of a better word. The fan service, the references, the bright color palette, the belief in the best of humanity despite the setbacks outcast like the protagonist face. This is a joy to watch and I might rewatch it right now after posting this 😆. "

Kweku Ananse Haki

"A series this good straight up should NOT exist! Unquestionably the smartest, funnest isekai series with absolutely gorgeous artwork, humor, and wildly imaginative, No Game No Life is a treasure from beginning to end and a welcome oasis in an ocean of terrible, cookie cutter wish fulfillment Isekai series about bland nobodies Mary Sue-ing their way to the top. This is nothing like that; it’s worth it—even if we’ll likely never get Season 2. "

"i honestly really like this anime. its just the fan service and sexualization of the little sister that brought my rating down…"

"I loved the concept of the movie but the sexualization of the little sister was too much and unnecessary for the plot."

Kat

"One of the best, don’t know if we’ll ever get a second season but it better eventually. A bit ecchi for people not in to that, but if u can get past that it’s great animation and super cool world. "
