No Game No Life is about a brother and sister, named Sora and Shiro, who are both NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) gamers who are pretty popular for their intelligence and strength in various games. One day, they were summoned to an unknown world by a boy named ‘GOD’ filled with 16 different races, and how “everything is decided by games” – where each player bets something, and then the winner receives it. The race Humanity has been in the bottom of all the races for a while now, and soon to be extinct. Can these 2 NEET gamers, Sora and Shiro become the “Saviours of Humanity”? Sora The anime No Game No Life was adapted from the light novel (short novel) which is written by Yuu Kamiya. The light novel debuted in April 2012, and since then both the sales and popularity have continually increased. In April 2014, it was reported that all 6 volumes have sold 1.1 million copies in Japan, making it in the top 10 most selling light novel series in 2014.
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka Sora is tall and thin who is extremely outgoing and confident. He can be very manipulative through his negotiations, and can predict what the player’s next move will be. Shiro Ai Kayano
My thoughts on No Game No Life No Game No Life – from the title itself already, I knew I was going to fall in love with it. As a gamer, living in a world which everything is decided in games is a dream come true. The games they included could be as hard as chess, or as easy as Tic Tack Toe, but can determine the way your race lives. With the addition of the 2 NEET gamers alike, Sora and Shiro make you feel on the edge of your seat from all of their strategic planning. It can be predictable of who will win the game, but it’s ‘how they win’ which really makes the show interesting. The art style is another reason to die for. The use of Vibrant, bright colours it makes you feel the ‘fantasy’ in this strange world. The anime has a couple of references of games out there, like Phoenix Wright’s “Objection”, and the Yu GI OH card game. If I have to say a negative thing in the anime, it would be the ‘Ecchi’ scenes in it. They can be a distraction to the main plot towards some people, rather than a pleasing view. Rather than that, No Game No Life is one of the best Animes in 2014, and I highly recommend it.
Shiro is genius in logic and in problem solving. She also rarely shows any emotions on her face, and connecting through others. She also has a serious brother complex. Stephanie
