    That would mean the warbeasts also wouldn't have a clue of what sort of a game they would be playing. It could be even worse for them, for all they knew beforehand. Since Sora needed to ask the girl when she last time enjoyed playing, I don't think the warbeasts are any gamblers.

    So according to the pledges, is blank loses, they lose a big chunk of what their own world is.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    But they don't really know what their own world is like. I'm actually suprised that they knew this was tokyo and not some other town (since they never get outside).. are they right in front of Shibuya station or something like that?

    If Blank loses, it doesn't much matter anymore since the show will be over. After all, this is all about Blank not losing.

    I think what he was confused with is that the bet has to be of equal worth. So the War Beasts bet all their land on the Lucia continent. So I am guessing David thought Blank would bet their land. As in real land from Tokyo. But first of all they didn't bet that. They bet their Imanity Piece. And second, I don't think you can bet something that isn't yours

    At least that's what I think he was trying to say.

    Right, that makes sense.

    And even if you have to bet something of equal value, the stakes are "equal" as long as both parties agree that they are, since value is subjective.

    11:



    alright, the scene where Sora openly shows his frustration when the game censored the no panties-girl was one of the best scenes in anime ever. And to top it off, the imanity audience watching SHARED his frustration. Just mega lol

    This is such an otaku-anime, but in the best possible way.

    Although Shiro´s ass was WAY too hot. Come on, decide whether youre a loli or not.

    You'd think gamers knew better than to expect the worst case scenario. I'm not much of a gamer at all, but even I didn't expect that (even if Bill half managed to convince me, incorrectly, otherwise). I don't know how they remained, supposedly, unbeatable if they give up even before the game began. Fortunately the enemy convinced them to continue (just how pitiful is that, anyway?).

    Otherwise this was a pretty nice episode. Once they learned they were free to hit friends, it was obvious they would try it just for the fun - that's what gamers would do, after all, despite the fact they are basically betting the existence of a whole race on the game. The warbeast seems ready to enjoy the game once again as well. I foresee Sora and Shiro might have a new friend who enjoys petting once this is all over. Not really that different from Jibril who seems to enjoy every moment in their company.

    So many amazing things in this episode:
    Gal Gun parody
    Commando wolf dude explanation shots
    Steph-abuse
    Shiro insta-love slaving Sora
    Jibril NTR
    Gunning for panties
    Shiro FPS pro

    I didn't really understand what happened at the very end though. Did it hit her or not? Did activating her ability somehow dodge/block it? Guess they'll explain next episode.

    Episode 12 is out!
    ---------------------

    Was this the season finale? If so, I pray to Tet that this will be resumed as soon as possible.

    There were a couple of slower episodes, but all in all this anime never bullshitted the audience what it was about: Playing high-risk games, lead by a true otaku.

    My only gripe, other than the loli sister, is that it´s yet another gay hero. Come on, first you have Steph, then Jibril, now this hot shrine vixen. sigh.

    Good anime.

    This ends and Mahouka continues. There's no justice in the anime business.

    In the beginning I feared this was a cheap clone of some past shows (Mondaijitachi in particular), which is why I was happy indeed I was proven wrong. This established itself in a grand fashion and I don't think this owes anything to any other shows in an adverse fashion. In fact I have no complaints whatsoever, other than the show ending right in the middle of the ascent. While we saw good games and good characters, I feel like the best was yet to come, which is always a good feeling. Even if some of the games were a bit dodgy or too convenient, the atmosphere worked wonderfully and it did have its moments of sharp intelligence. The character interactions weren't bad, even if they didn't quite reach the level of tormenting Kuro Usagi in Mondaijitachi. On the other hand, the characters were more varied in this one and they certainly had stronger agendas of their own.

    A good show, all in all. I hope it'll get a second season, but unfortunately I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

    So this wasn't a 12 eps split of a 24 eps series?

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Have you seen an announcement of a second season? At least the ANN page doesn't have such a news article link.

    This will likely have a second season. We just ran out of material.

    This was a turn your brain off and enjoy kind of show for me. Everything they did was impossible and unbelievable, but you have to take that as part of the premise of the entire show. The pair WILL NOT LOSE, not matter how random and improbable their plans are.

    What I actually enjoyed are the jokes and the references to otaku culture. The way they insert comedy in the middle of life or death situations was great. Sora said it right. This is just a game, and everyone is just too serious.

    Nope.
    I just thought this was very short lived.

    Just finished watching this and really enjoyed it. Not really into the semi-harem type the series became, but whatever... it was fun.

    I hope we get another season for sure, but I'm not holding my breath. Madhouse doesn't seem to have a good track record on that regard. But we'll see.

    Well, for those hoping we'd get more of this series, know that a movie has been green lit:
    http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...e-film/.104415

    Now, I know it's not the 2nd season we might've wanted, but it's something at least.

    From what I could gather from the discussion around, the author let it known that the movie will be an adaptation of volume 6.

    As I understood it, the anime tv series adapted volumes 1-3, and had an anime original ending or such (anime adapted the material that was released up to that point). Some speculate that the the anime original ending can be considered part of volume 6, though I don't know how much that actually fits.

    So what happens to volume 4 and 5? Well, apparently volume 6 of the series is a story that takes place in the past. I'd prefer to go forward with the story myself, but it is what it is.

    Hopefully if this succeeds we get another tv series that adapts volume 4 and 5, and whatever else is left out there.

    In the meantime, glad to see more of No Game, No Life animated (I'll also cross my fingers for more Overlord and Mondaiji while I'm at it).

    Supposedly, volume 6 is the best the story has to offer.

    That's good to know then. I'm just not a fan of prequels and the likes in general.
