Unagi-man said: How the hell more than 200 people have liked 5th episode of No Game No Life? I was terribly dissappointed after i watched it. Baka Steph was playing with Sora and loose all of the time - wtf? And they put it in 5th episode instead of Sora defeating other countries for Imanity? Screw it, i would watch it till the end only only because of cute Shiro... While the novel made it more obvious, the anime still spelled it out for you. They won't go after other countries until they have a general idea about their MO. That was the whole deal with the information=win part. Which leads to going after a Flügel to obtain their vast knowledge, and use that to gain an upper hand againts the other countries (basically, you're saying, that they should go to war without any weapons). The whole "Steph bullying" lasted about 5 minutes (now that I counted it, 6 minutes from the very beginning 'till the end, not counting of course the game of Blackjack, where she challenged them, and noone was bullying anyone), so that's that. Also, "Defeating other countries for Imanity"? there's only about half of the anime left, do you honestly think they would do all that in that short time, even though the source material is still far off from that goal? Plus they have absolutely no need to rush things. While the pacing is a bit fluctuating, it is still very well done, and in the end, that's what counts, not how certain episodes feel "fillery" to you. |
| When they said exceed rank number 2 did they mean the 2nd rank within the races? Flugel, is that a race? The ending felt rushed and I need someone to explain it a bit more. I think I grasped some parts... maybe. |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
UsaraDark said: When they said exceed rank number 2 did they mean the 2nd rank within the races? Flugel, is that a race? Yes and yes. The exceed refers to the 16 sentient races. The Phantasma race live on that flying thing, and the Flugel (angel) is also a race and the girl at the end is just one of them. kramXD said: LOL shiro puts steph's dirty and smelly underwear in her head disgusting ew yuck gross i'm gonna puke right now..... hey i just vomited You disappoint me "sigh" :( Give me the angels underwear and I'll wear it proudly :D |

| It was funny , but Sora and Shiro kinda made Steph look so bad in front of her former people lol But she was cute tho Also it was funny how jelly Shiro got because of Steph xD All in all a good and funny episode :) |
| Steph is so cute and hot in this episode. |
0nigiri said: I find it funny how some people who think this episode was just a fan service / filler when it presented several important points to the plot: -Shows the reason why the brothers have not managed to find any information about the other races - foreshadows an event that will occur in the future (I read the LN so I know what will happen) -shows the mentality of the people who ruled the country, as steph, who believed he could win the countries by chance, depending on luck and keep betting until not have anything to bet -shows how the brothers are serious about saving human / world domination Their situation is very difficult because it is like you have left your little brother play your Super Mario Bros. with 99 lives (the largest country in the past) and be left with only one (only one land to bet) to you, is a situation where if you lose it's game over "There is no solid info about other races." "Thats because the Tower is held by flugel" "We will attack the furry race" "We always tried winning by luck" "We are serious about winning this war" Thats how fast you could have packed all that info togheter and i would have taken less than 30 seconds. Im not saying it would be good like that, but you wouldnt need more than 5 min to reveal all the 4 points you mentioned properly, so the other 15 min where actually filler. |
| A lot of funny moments in this episode. I feel sorry for Steph. She's always getting treated badly. |

| The anime has shown us a few races already - was the Elves' rank mentioned somewhere? 0. Tet 1. Old Gods 2. Phantasma ... 6. Flugel ... 14. Warbeasts ... 16. Imanity |

Caleb8980 said: snip Wow... just wow... If anyone after this goes around saying not much happened (I mean, most of what you said holds pretty well, and you detailed it so much... Personally wouldn't have bothered), they just prove themselves to be hopelessly Steph. Also, the spell they used to try to bring Avan Heim (The big floating island) down was so that they could challenge a Flügel for her knowledge. And also not, Avant Heim is actually a living being, and one of the 16 races, which means, that it might end up being one of their opponents at some point.

Imanity Jibril once said in the novels (which, btw isn't spoilerific, as it is mostly irrelevant to the plot so far, thus you will be exposed to it before it becomes relevant, if it does), that the sole reason Imanity survived was because they were below the notice of the other races, simply being insignificant ants, and nothing more. |
| This show is piece of crap, seriously, I don't know what you (almost) all see in it people.1/5 and Dropped. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That was pretty average. The comedy was ok and too much, I hardly cracked a smile. Though it would've been funnier if I hadn't seen all of these done 10 times over in other series.. I still can't really come to like Shiro and Sora.. Really though I don't get what is so great about this show..there's nothing great about the characters, story or setting..its been rather average at best so far. |
| Lol poor Steph doing all the hard work while the siblings are lazing around. Lol'd so much when Sora cried out while Shiro fell off the bed. Sora is probably the only role by Yoshitsugu that I like so much, I just love those reactions of Sora and Yoshitsugu's voice completely fits for such situations. Lol'd so much at the scene where the nobles were stripped out literally off their powers because they lost. Steph is actually a genius and she graduated as a top student from her academy. Oh, so that's what meant by puppy Steph. Sexy. Really like Steph's outfit. She looks cute too. ^^ Yes Sora. That's completely right, animal girl is justice. XDXD Poor Steph, getting bullied so much but it's really funny to watch her like that. And the lovely Steph fanservice is just too much to handle. They completely stripped her down. *A* Loved the references mentioned in this episode. Lol. So they did have a library but the grandfather lost it in a game. DAT ENGRISH XDXDXD, rewatched that scene 2 times already and it's still so funny. Lol'd so hard. Jibril sounds exactly how I thought she would. I just have to wait now and see how Sora and Jibril molest each other. XDXD |

Nuvi said: Jibril sounds exactly how I thought she would. I just have to wait now and see how Sora and Jibril molest each other. XDXD Come on! The world "molest" doesn't fit. After all, that's 18+. And what they do is "perfectly healthy" and safe for even a child like Shiro. |
| Hoh, so Elves were #7... so even if the rank difference is of just 1 - the Flugel are still so far above them considering |
"Rejoice! We are humans— we are the most talented people! Precisely because we were born without any ability— we can achieve anything— this is the will of the weakest race!" – Sora, ‘No game No life Vol.01’ |
"We always tried winning by luck" what? I think I need to watch the show once more. |
| Your so-called peaceful world makes me bored, so don't blame me if I destroy all of it. - http://worldinverse.smackjeeves.com |
| So Stephanie is going to challenge Sora and Shiro :O? Hahaha, Sora wanted to lose the game in order to become a fulfilled man and not a decent one XD, but Shiro told him "Blank is not allowed to lose." . So the game Steph chose is blackjack huh, lets see how things pan out. LOL at "Steph, my granddaughter. If your opponent is another human, you're just screwed. Screwed. Screwed." XD. Steph was raining scales not tears lol. The faces Sora and Shiro made when they realized Steph was actually a fulfilled person that had friends, connectiosn and graduated at the top of her high school. New objective for Sora: "Conquer the animal girl kingdom. Now." XD Sora made the right choice. knowing your enemies before heading into battle is always better than going without no knowledge at all. So they actually had a national library that Steph's grandfather lost in a game to a flugel. Yeah... that flugel angel thing has a nice way of talking alright... |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Decent episode. I really want to have the ost for this show. It's awesome. I love Steph's voice. |

| funny episode i think... wtf wit that angel |

gamer5 said: TheNaturalPerm said: so they stripped her down and made her wear a dogtail? great anime really...I think i'm gonna drop this....this anime is so full of shit and them winning the games doesen't really make sense at all We ain't going to miss you... But guessing from the posts I seen on the discussion threads of this anime I must come to conclusion that most of the people posting on NGNL's discussion thread are: 1. people which watch NGNL and don't give a shit if it makes sense (and it does trust me) or not they just watch it because it is fun, packed with intense games, the main characters are extremely likable to most of us and so on. AKA they watch it for the enjoyment factor. 2. those that together with the above listed factor watches it because the thing is done so freaking godly in the matters of the subtle yet always present explanations, plot lines and other things that show how good of a job did Yuu-Sensei did when making NGNL and how much of it is carried in the Anime. 3. Are complaining about not getting the games - because their own lack of smarts or will to understand them. 4. Don't like fan service for some reason. I choose option 5: grown out of the teen comedy ecchis and all the "sucked into a game" type of shows. The characters are horrible (let's not talk about the sexualised loli), the dialogues are badly written and the fanservice is just ugh. This show is clearly not aimed at me...rejoice teens of the anime fandom |

TheNaturalPerm said: I choose option 5: grown out of the teen comedy ecchis and all the "sucked into a game" type of shows Just goes to show how much attention you've been paying, really. No wonder you dislike the show. |
| The way the 'angel' speaks, that caught me off guard lol. Anyway, second half of the episode was rather boring to be honest.. First half was fun with some comedy like the ojii-sama "If your opponent is another human, you're just screwed. Screwed. Screwed." with a thumb up lmao. |

| 5/5 After all that craziness, it is understood that everything had its own cause. Not bad, maybe you should become more serious plot, but would alter the soul of the story, the better it maintains this trend. Episode that serves to show the potential of Steph as a politician, showing its ability to mediation. Narration very adherent to the characters put in place, the protagonists are the usual NEET and Steph the usual "Boccalona"! XD Drawings and animations sufficient, Sora and Shiro have a love relationship borboso, if he had not yet understood. LOL Next week we should get into the full story ... |
 |
| That was a great episode. funny and interesting. that ending scenes were the best part. |

And it's "doesn't" not "doesen't" you idiot, go back to middle school you dolt. the only one who is stupid, it's you, sorry. This show is total failure in any aspect , for kids with complexes. If someone is above 18yoand enjoying it, I suggest to go for a psychologist therapy. For me it is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. |

| Everyone's already mentioned the laputa reference, but has failed to mention that the word Balus has caused multiple server crashes on fan-sites in japan (when the movie aired on TV), which is why it is mentioned how the servers in the fantasy world are more durable. Being hikikomori neet's, Blank would of course would know about this. source: http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2013/08/02/japans-ghibli-fans-are-preparing-to-balus-again/ Loving all the references here, even referencing things happening IRL. .... also, don't feed the trolls guys. |
| I'm getting hyped as shit, and I don't care about it. This stuff is enjoyable. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ And has some clever moments, fancy~ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Poor Steph, woof lol! And the Angel scene at the end was awesomely funny. Let's conquer the Animal Girls Kingdom haha!!! |
