| good animation , environment . i think the story pacing is a bit too fast, making this into a series will end up better than summing up into whole movie. i think im gonna rewatch NGNL again when i got the time |
| This was a huge letdown, way too much forced melodrama and the plot was all over the place. My favorite part was seeing sexy Jibril again, bur the rest was pretty boring. A second season of the original would be much appreciated. 4/10 |
| I see, so this is the story how Tet become One True God. The character looks similar, maybe Sora and Shiro are the reincarnation of Riku and Schwi? |
| It lived up to everything I thought it would be |

Seriously though why is there so few recommendations on this movie?? |
|
| Everyone here is saying that they cried their eyes out and i feel like i'm the only one who just couldn't take this movie seriously at all... The reason i love NGNL is because of the witty strategies, fun character interactions and lighthearted humor, but this movie was nothing more than pretty much different looking versions of the same main characters(they even got the same voices) acting way too overdramatic for their own good. Maybe it's because i've just rewatched the chimera ant arc in HxH and after Komugi and Meruem's relationship, Riku and Schwi just had no chance of impressing me(they are both fairly similar relationships) Nevertheless, nothing that i loved about NGNL is present in this movie(story-wise) |
| ppl don't think their opinions be wrong, but it do. |
| Is it just me or did Schwi's development feel kinda forced. It was litterally Riku crying for 1hr 40min straight and Schwi just understands? Idk it felt kinda anti-climatic and wasnt really something worth crying about. Yea it was a pretty good movie but... if i wanted to see robot girl turns human then plastic memories was much better in that aspect (but then again different genres so cant really argue about that) |

| So i want to know something, how did those ex-machinas exist? They were made to do a job and all but who made them? I loved the movie tho |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Pretty enjoyable compare to the Tv series, if not way better. This would have been a wholesome experience if I didn't foresee Schwi and Riku well, bad end. 9/10 |

| Fuck me. I try to use full scale when scoring, but 10 is just not enough for this one. Story, characters, art, music, everything was just perfect for me. I have to admit I didn't expect it to be so heavy. Caught me totally of guard with all the feels. Tbh until the end I hoped to see them brought back to life in the revived world. Question to LN readers (if anyone reads posts on 5th page lol): Is tone of Zero exception, or does the main story actually get heavier than part adapted in first anime? |

  |
| Finally have time to watch it and.... Too much drama for my taste of NGNL but still it was AMAZING! Love Story 100/10 really need to ship Sora Shirou more but its still feel weird to ship them. Too much mixed feeling about some character because they have same face and got some kind reincarnation later. And Tet was already there before the war end but who is he? i mean come on we almost never saw him clear on flashback and he randomly grab the title One True God and end the war? Really mad about Jibril but she still best girl. Please S2 WHEN? I NEED IT! |
| Into the Internet! |
| Not a LN reader but it felt dissapointing considering how good the series was. The plot wasn't that interesting, the pacing felt rushed, barely any character development which felt rushed as fuck (that marriage proposal made me laugh at how sudden it was) and some things could have been explained WAY better and other ones could have been explained for starters. 6/10 just because of how godly the visuals were and Jibril. Otherwise it would've been a 5/10 at best. |

| And thus was the greatest thievery on Disboard, by the once weakest existence of the plane. No, not by Imanity and Riku, from the other races, but by Tet, an imaginary being only brought by the combination Riku's imagination and faith and the huge amount of force of the three great bombs, from Riku. That was good. That was very good. :') |

| Sad, funny, cute, beautiful, tragic. Speechless. |
 |
| It couldn't be helped about being rushed since it's a movie. 9/10 is a fitting score. |
 |
| Should I have read LN before watching this movie? I've just finished it and I have zero understanding about what I've seen. |
| This was wonderful. They really outdid themselves with this movie, they tried something different from the anime and it ended up being brilliant. Now, SECOND SEASON PLEASE. |

| That got dark real fast, but so good. Finally got to see how brutal and violent Flugel's can be during the war. Schwi and Riku were imo way better develop than Sora and Shiro. |

| lulque, only the last quarter of the movie was interesting, everything else was a snoozefest tbh. 6/10 because +1 animation/artwork. Time to rewatch s1. |

Terkhev said: Question to LN readers (if anyone reads posts on 5th page lol): Is tone of Zero exception, or does the main story actually get heavier than part adapted in first anime? Nah, exception. Well, NGNL LN loves doing that, foreshadowing sadness in its characters' development while keeping the main content focused on the Sora-Shiro genius gamer part, comedy, and a little politic. Vol 6 was like a background story, provided so that the writer can finally get into the main plot (what S1 had was just like a prologue.) This "main plot" itself, we're not even near the big conflict, as only in the latest vol the Ex-Machina are (re-)introduced. So, what you're asking... I doubt we will get another vol similar to this one (with tragedy as its main tone,) but it's not that there's no such tone. But, then again: who knows? After all, Tet said it: Sora & Shiro's tale is the new myth. |

It's a mix of both. Tet existed within the imagination of Riku and was materialized at the very end. |

| "Evil" Jibril is 10/10. You have to feel bad for Riku too, he stayed a virgin till the very end. |
 |
| I liked and disliked the tv series, so I wasn't putting many hope for this movie. However the movie was surprisingly good. It filled with fluid animation and good cinematography, however the story and the character are still lacking in some area (hole here and there, but most of them are ignorable and/or in no way will affect how we view the series as whole). Solid 65/100 inflated to 7/10 because I like Djibril. |
MrMik1995 said: I know that, here what I put the world evil in quotation marks. If I remember right, in the current time where the series is situated, she even has fond memories of the war times (I think she even destroyed the capital of the elves).Illyricus said: "Evil" Jibril is 10/10. You have to feel bad for Riku too, he stayed a virgin till the very end. Yeah she wasn't exactly that different compared to show she is in the TV show timeline,we see her movie side of personality when she battles with Sora and Shiro and other small moments later except those were a game,no actual fighting happened while the movie had reality of a war era. Her personality is right in sync with the timeskip considering both era's situations. |

| This prequel is seriously amazing! The story, graphics,animation, sound, characters, events and everything else is beautifully well done! All hail Madhouse for another epic work! The animation is top quality and even if the theme songs are not really perfect, the sound effects of the explosion and everything else make up for it. The story is very cute and adorable, it has some dark events for a PG-13 show, I personally love how they managed to stop the war without even physically participating in the war. The funny in-between moments are also quite good. Schwi's and Riku's relationship and how it came to an end gave me the feels... (No tears but still feels) Shiro and Sora must be some kind of their other-world-reincarnations or something. I still hope for a second season! |
  |
| Best Scene : - When Schwi told Riku that he will be virgin forever. - Jibril vs Schwi. - The birth of 10 pledges. |

| Very enjoyable movie. I really liked it. I found the marriage proposal a little strange cause both of them seemed to be together for just a short time. I think this effect was cause more cause everything seemed to be occurring in a single day (obviously it was not) and could have been fixed if the amount of days passing were informed. Nonetheless it was pretty good. I hope for a second season. |
I despise woke people. |
| Had to wait forever but was finally able to see the movie... Why is this movie so sad? And why is shuvi so cute? Lol when they tricked Couronne Highlight for me was Jibril fighting Shuvi, i kind of forgot about Jibrils weird attitude lol Jibril was so merciless to shuvi, at least she respected her at the end of the battle which she didn't do in the beginning T_T also small Jibril is adorable the other regressed Flügel were also cute though The film was awesome and i need the sequel to season 1 even more now |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Been waiting ages for this movie to come out and here it is. i don't even remember how many times i cried while watching it, and i did not see that coming! this was dark, Emotional and tragic, exactly the opposite of the original TV series and i loved it. solid 10/10 from me. |
| This is the movie is definitely the one of best animated in 2017. Although there might be some flaws I don't think the flaws would big enough to affect the movie in general. Soundtracks are so amazing and not to mention the animation quality of those fight scenes. Since the main focus of the theme is not just romance between Shuwi and Riku, it also explains how the world disboard in NGNL formed, how Riku and Human race in a world were humans are the weakest and have no future living in this apocalypse world, Riku and Shuwi become the unknown heroes to end the endless war. For an around 90min film, It's very very hard to include such a huge world perspective and all the details, I think they did a great job although some of the parts are not detailly explained ( I think the scenes between Riku and Shuwi is still reasonable as romance plot is very hard to develop in a 90min film.). I really recommend the movie and No game no life novel vol.6 which basically talks about this plot. The story is needed as it helps explain and develop the future volumes of the novel if you have read it. |

| It had a great art style but it was a boring anime for me i gave it a 5/10 |
 |
| Only one word to describe my feelings toward this movie: mind-blown. That was absolutely amazing. Atmosphere was so much more serious than the sequel, from what I recall at least. I didn't even expect it to be so emotional and stir up my feelings like that. Simply blown away. We better get a second season! 10/10. |
  |
| If I'm allowed to give more, I'll give it 10 outta 5 stars :)) When I first saw the shadow of "someone" who played with Riku idk why I got a feeling it's Tet XDXD But I still don't understand what race is Tet came from and how the heck he suddenly came out of nowhere and took that siniaster. I'M STILL WAITING FOR SEASON 2 !!!! I hope Sora doesn't lie when he said let's begin the game.. |
| re:education - vocaloid Acedia, Luxuria, Ira, Superbia |
| Why can't I rate it more than 10/10 I like that there is Shuvi's name written inside the ring, meaning it was made just for her. PS: pray4s2 |

| I have to accept that despite the fact that the anime development was pretty normal, no game no life has a world very interesting, Disboard is a place full of mysteries and history. The eternal war was a great event in this world and in incredible to know how the humans took their place between the intelligent races. Also the characters were very good and with an impact in the actual time. The present would not be the same without Riku and Schwi. |
