Everybody can relate to video games, using technology ,or just not wanting to go outside. No Game No Life is about two pro video game players that have never lost a game in their life. They become so good at every single game that they are transported to a world where every dispute for anything is determined by playing a game of either parties choice. This world is also ruled by different races that are based upon their ability to win at games. The lowest rank being imanity which is where our heroes Sora and Shiro. They start by playing games to take money and start making a living in the game world. Then they become the king of the imanity domain by beating the person who was also running for imanity. Slowly as the story progresses they start playing against the higher races and winning which helps imanity gain their power back. The story is really interesting as it takes childish games and makes it extremely high stakes.
Sora and Shiro are siblings that have never left each other’s side and always play their games together. They go by the name “blank” and have never lost a game no matter the conditions. The character development is not as present in the show because it only lasts about 11 episodes due to the creator not continuing the anime. The Anime was animated by madhouse, one of the most esteemed Animation Studios in all of Japan. That’s why the 11 episodes made are done really well and the animation adds a level of depth to the show that is incomparable in any other show. The animation style is unorthodox but works perfectly with the style of the anime because it incorporates the suspense of the games with an overall comedic feel throughout the show.
If you are interested in shows that revolve around video games or fantasy worlds this show is definitely for you. The way they construct the game world is something I have never seen before in the Isekai(fantasy world) Anime genre. The show utilizes strategy in a non-serious way, while also making the viewer think about what’s happening.It also adds a sense of comedy that will keep you engaged and wishing there was a season 2. The show is only one season long so it is definitely worth the watch if you want to binge watch something interesting.
