Kurami cried! Glad Sora won in such a way!
Shiro's reason for wanting to be king xD Their faces as they play thousands and thousands of matches.
They became King and Queen! The speech was awesome, loved how he swayed the crowd.
Shiro holding Sora's hand so they won't be afraid, it was really cute! ><
Shora decaring war on every race and even with Tet too.
Steph's panic and realization was great to see.
I really can't wait for next episode!

Anyone noticed that Sora is basically the newest addition to the "Way too smart that everything just seems convenient to the way they think" characters? you know like Lelouch and Yagami Light ..

nevertheless, I love this show !
I laughed so much when Sora and Shiro were play to decide who'll be the king\queen , and those numbers are hilarious ..
Presently: 158 loses, 158 wins, 184 ties.
Total lifetime score: 117080 loses, 117080 wins, 1186584 ties.
I am not going to go math geek on you, but this doesn't even make sense lol !

That speech was super BadAss btw !
I am digging this anime a lot .. possibly the best anime of the season.

Actually that's probably the truest quote in the whole thread at least to me. It doesn't go into much detail, but that's kind of how I would describe it. It's not irredeemably awful, but aside from production values I just see nothing about it that stands out. If it wasn't airing on Wednesday when there's almost nothing else to watch I'd probably have dropped it already, but it's just barely interesting and colorful enough and airs earlier in the weeks that I can throw it on in the background and watch it on Wednesday's right when it comes out. I just wish there was more I could take away from it at the end of the day.

It was a pretty good episode.

Shiro won't allow Sora to become a king because she don't want him to make a harem.

Lol at the scene where Shiro and Sora card game with each other.

I wonder when will you finally let go of the obsessiveness regarding stuff that you don't like or think aren't as good as the majority perceives them to be. Considering that you didn't reply to those who replied to your initial post, I think you are not in it for genuine discussion or to enjoy this anime. Just to be vocal about your not so popular opinion. Not every popular or hyped anime needs attacking. It's okay to let go..it really is.

You shouldn't care this much, or be highly opinionated like this, relax. For the record I was just joking with parfaited.

Lol loved this ep.
Seeing Scene go from kinda serious to awkward wtf when Kurumi started crying was funny.
Speech was brilliant.
My fave though was Tet talking with sora and Shiro.

Lets see here... Another brilliant episode, really loving this anime.

It's ranked in my top three for the season, loving the wit and games. This series also has the best loli of the season, Enju just doesn't quite measure up to Shiro.

Can't wait to get into the next game!

Loved the Objections, couldn't stop laughing, especially the harem line. Shiro can't stand the idea of her brother having other women because he won't need her anymore. It was adorable.

Tet once again tries to steal the show, loving his interaction with Blank.

I didn't find the speech as top-notch as everyone else, it felt kind of cheesy and was massively redundant. But, after talking in circles and insulting all of humanity, he managed to rile them up and get them ready to declare war. Can't wait to see the games Blank will have to win during the war.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

4 episodes amd not for 1 minute it failed to be great...

I just really hope they dont make a anime original ending... leave room for a second season please, even if take several years to be made.

I'm usually not so against orginal anime endings, specially when the orginal source is not completely done, but this time something tells me the magic is all in the LN's... might be wrong though


you're not wrong, you're not wrong at all! in fact, the author for the LN is actually helping make this anime, so it definitely won't go too far astray from the LN!! XDXD

That was a bit underwhelming compared to the last episode, but it was still enjoyable. I did not like the way Clammy lost the game, however (as in, assassinated by a non-combatant), that felt like bullshit.

i loved the: the game
the speech

the protagonists
especially the speech ad why Tet decided to bring shiro and sora!!
surely, THESE TWO ARE THE BEST FEMALE+MALE PROTAGONIST PAIRINGS I HAVE EVER CAM ACROSS!!
i normally avoid female+male pairs of protagonists, but these 2 are just amazing and i love both of these badass soon-to-be-god (=v=) siblings very much!!

i'm glad i'm not irritated by either of the protagonists!!

Best episode so far,and a game changing one at that,suddenly my expectations for this are through the roof (no longer will this be just another average anime from this season).

Great/Very Inspirational speech.

Declared war against the world.False pretext to buy time while the other countries look for the suspected party/race that (supposedly) help Imanity.

Beat the 16 other races and face Tet for his title of God.

Now hoping they don't ruin this with an anime original ending and go with an ending that leave the option of a second season possible.

I can see that onii-chan and imouto are always going to succeed in whatever they do (in the game world at least- because lets not forget that he's just a virgin shut-in irl herp derp) and that's where the interest ends for me.
The references in the last couple of episodes were fun though, we need more of those.

That's because they are the best brother sister duo in recent memory. Plus there are no ''incest'' hints, which is great and refreshing.

So, Sora and Shiro decided on who to become Queen and King huh? And they ended up playing for so long against each other....and each one won the same amount of games! xD I love this Bro+Sis pair so far....these guys are awesome~! x3

Sora acting all cool and stuff, as usual~! xD So, there new goal is to not only conquer the world, but also to beat God himself in a game! So can't wait~! x3

This episode showed what this anime is all about! The comedy, Shiro and Sora still playing cards after some 400+ games. The fear many of us otaku feel when we are in different situations. The gamer side that has the hero in the game saying something epic to lift everyone's spirit to reach a high goal. I truly am LOVING every single second of every single episode. Long live Blank!

Based on what the LN says, the King was killed by someone who wasn't in battle, a close friend (like Julius Caesar). Although it's hard to see how this makes sense in the messed up chess game, but I guess overall it was just trying to emulate war. I do hope that Blank faces a tough enemy soon, someone they really have to struggle with. Nice speech Sora (dat rhetoric). For the people wondering why there isn't a lot of criticisms, it's because this anime is fun. Many people don't watch anime to analyze it and think about it deeply (although I love it when an anime that makes me think comes along) and generally don't criticize it unless something really doesn't make sense or there is terrible pacing. They watch it for entertainment, which this show really good for. Call it a show that panders to otakus or a nerd powertrip but so what if it is?

Im kinda concerned about the shows pacing tough. There are 15 nations left to conquer, and even if they get these angel like race as allies that is still 14 left to conquer. Not to mention the final game against Ted. Now the thing is if all games took 2 episodes like this one, then it would take another 30 episodes to finish the anime. But there are only like 8 ep left. So yeah there will be either a lot of skipping, OR the games will be rushed as hell, either way, I think this anime will have a hell of a pacing issue. Should have been a 36-40 ep anime or at the very least 2 cour. I just dont see how its going to fit into 12 episodes only, without getting shit or skipping a LOT, which is the same as getting shit most likely.
