---My History With No Game No Life---

I've said this all before, but I never got the chance to give it a proper review. So, it's about time that I share my history with this anime. (Spoil free for those that wanna watch it. =D )

2016. Back in 2016, I was watching some standard stuff and I was enjoying myself watching them. I was willing to give a look at whatever was something new. It was around spring (or summer) of 2016 when I discovered a jumping square game called "Geometry Dash" and I still do play it today. There was this one level called "Horizon" made by Mylon, and it was a great level to play. I mostly loved it for the song, which was "This Game, off vocal, rmx" by Dj-jo. It grew into me and I got invested into it. I wanted to know where this song came from. I checked over at Soundcloud and gave it a search. That's when I discovered the origins of the original song.

And that's when I discovered No Game No Life.

I watched this anime at the age of 12 (Was a sincere mistake doing so). And at the time, I thought it was absolutely amazing. In terms of visuals, plot, writing, voice acting, sound effects, and songs, all of them are amazing. Even to this day, I still find it amazing.

Allow me to elaborate a bit of No Game No Life.

Sora and Shiro (The Blank) are a set of shut-in's that do nothing but games. You saw in the 1st episode how those two manage to beat 1200 players with only 4 characters. People think it's nothing but cheating, but to be fair, it was playing smart. A brief moment, they receive an email from an unknown user, sending them a link to a chess game. They eventually win the chess game and are now given questions as to what they think about the world they live in, the two calling it a "crappy game". Eventually, the unknown user, soon to be revealed Tet, asked them if they we're to live in another world with games, what would they think? Sora replied with, "If there was such a world that exist out there, we should've been born there instead." And thus the two are both reborn into the Dis-Board, a world with no war, no chaos. All it takes to play games to win it all.

With Sora and Shiro reborn in their new world, they are now in set to plan goals, but their main focus is to gather all 16 races together and go up against Tet once more. Thus, "The games have begun!"

Let me tell you, despite it being somewhat of a serious atmosphere, when you actually watch the anime, it does tend to get it's serious moments, but when it doesn't, it's a good anime to get a laugh at. I was never bored when I watched all episodes. There are it's serious times and there are it's stupid times. No Game No Life has some good humor to laugh at. There will be a time when you might notice some references from other anime/games.

The voice actors even gave it a good laugh. This was the first anime that I discovered the Matsuoka & Kayano combo. Both voice actors are great at what they voice, with or without the two paired up. The same goes for the other voice actors.

Why is this anime important to me?

No Game No Life opened the doors for me to discover what anime is. Even at a young age of 12, the doors were opened. There were many possibilities that anime can turn out to be good, bad, or just plain cringe. But in the end, I can happily say "It was all worth it".

Despite me only having to watch 3 anime in 2016, I returned to it this year all because Co-Vid shoved Pokemon (2019) off my face and told me to wait for another one to come out soon, do something else while waiting. I guess because of Co-Vid, the doors to anime truly started for me right here, all thanks to No Game No Life.

Is it worth the watch?

Absolutely. But let me warn you, No Game No Life has some Ecchi moments, and if you hate that, then do not watch it. (There's not much of Ecchi, but there is an episode that has all girls butt naked. this is a warning for you)

And hey, if you don't like it, there could be something that you possibly didn't like that I couldn't see. But that's ok, everyone does have different taste after all.

And with that, it gets a 100/100 on my case. It even gets a spot on my top 10 favorites (Which is still a WIP by the time I made this review).

That's it for me, and if your gonna watch it, then I hope you enjoy it. More reviews from me? Idk, this is my first time giving an anime a review.

Adios. =)
