No game no Life review

Somwhat Spoiler-ish

OMG.
Okay so at first I really underestimate this anime. I didn't even consider giving this a chance until I watched top 200 anime openings and really enjoyed the opening. So, is this anime good or not? It depends.

This anime has a strategic aspect to it that may be hard to follow due to the character's brilliant mind, as well as a comedic aspect that is somewhat uncomfortable at times to watch or seemingly very forced. However, the story line is mesmerizing and the game play that is seen in this anime is absolutely breathaking and really captures your attention and is definitely a part of the anime that I thoroughly enjoyed.Sure, it may not take itself so seriously but it does it in a way that entertains the watcher. Also it is super intense and yet funny at the same time which is something some animes can do a very poor job of executing.

At twelve episodes the anime follows two NEET siblings, Sora and Shiro who are transported to the magical world of games by the kawaii god Tet who means business (kind of) they want to rule the new world and ultimately defeat Tet! So, the gaming geeks dominate the world one game at a time with help from the not-as-idiotic-as-she-seems Steph and other friends whose names are unknown because if they were this would have official spoilers!

The anime can capture many crowds, and although it leaves you wanting to know what really happens and a more proper ending that can really close off the series by the end of the twelfth episode, it really is a treat and I thoroughly enjoyed it! If you like Deathnote, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other strategic animes I ask that you watch it despite the sometimes atrocious humor. However, sometimes the humor is a good breather.

Sayonara!
