Summary:

No Game No Life is a comedy isekai anime that is entertaining and funny, if you are willing to close your eyes and not to think too much. While the animation and visuals are great, the writing is average, with numerous relatively cheap tricks. The plot conveniences, while some are actually the point of the plot, are often felt slightly cheap and lazy. The generic fanservices, aiming to acheive comedy, actually reduce some of the characters into comic reliefs. In addition, the questionable soulmate relationship between the main characters adds the distaste to the series (the soulmate implication is actually made worse by the movie).

Nevertheless, a second season would still be anticipated, if the time will ever come.......................................

What I like: clean visuals and animations, relatively funny and entertaining
What I dislike: cheap fanservice, plot conveniences, and questionable romance

• We already started the series with the OP protagonist duo Sora and Shiro (username: []),

which is actually a red flag to character development, considering there is little to no character development between them (I suppose the episode when Shiro was temporarily separated from Sora could be consider one). On top of that, the incest implication between the "siblings", although reasonable with backstories, is questionable in personal morals, not to mention Shiro is about 11 years old (extra mention: stop using the "not related to blood" cliche)

• Then we have Stephanie, who actually also serve as the main cast, but since

she was used as a target for fanservices (breast and panty shots), it strips her
from her relevance to the story, even though she actually has a decent backstory.
While the characters in the story acknowledge this fact as inside jokes, the fact that Stephanie is actually kind of useless harms the writing quality regarding Stephanie's character. A good comparision would be the "Aqua is useless" running joke in Konosuba where Aqua actually contributes to the storyline other than serving as a comic relief

• Extra dishonour for fanservice: Kurumi flat chest joke is cheap
• Speaking of Kurumi, she is actually fairly interesting, her backstory and her interaction with Fil is also decent
• The animation is generally clean, the visuals are great, I like the colour aesthetics of "this world"
• Both [] vs Kurumi ("chess" game) and [] vs Jibril (wordbank game) are basically characters making up plots as the game goes on, which is hilarious
• The music scores, although decent, nothing particularly memorable
• The JoJo references, while definitely a nice addition, are sometimes out of place, like the King Crimson reference.
• Lastly, the ending is very fast and felt rushed (that coin toss scene is quite nonsense)

• Best characters: Stephanie's grandfather
• Worst characters: Stephanie
