Just watched the 1st episode. Loving the concept. Also the "**** going home" to the cliched "We have to find a way home" angle.

Though not too keen on the art style.

Yeah, this is one of my favorites as well. It's like someone made a comedy for a Lelouche/Light-type main character. He gets to run around going JUST AS PLANNED while still being fucking hilarious to boot. And the banter between the two main character is priceless, I loved that line where he went, "I can't be with you, you're my sister! And besides, you're like, eleven!"

The summary makes it sound like another NEET glorification anime, but that looks pretty amusing. Might try it.

They are NEETs at the start, but it was more out of boredom with real life than anything else. They're socially functional and productive in the magical bizarro world they find themselves in, the NEET thing disappears.

I see what they did there. Although moe princess can never be a true queen if she can't play games.

Theoretically, she can. The siblings will be the rightful king and Queen, and Stephoscope lost the bet and is forced to fall in love with him anyways, so she could become one through marriage.

I hope you watched this after Black Bullet, to get the bad taste out of your mouth. Because yeah, episode four was amazing. I loved his strategy for eliminating spies in particular, I love how he just made that so easy. XD

I did actually. Knew I'd need to end on a better note after what I read. I went

Black burrito -> NGNL -> Chaika -> still need to watch NtF.

The latest episodes of Captain Ass (As in Arika's, specifically), Date-A-Live and Atelier Escha and Logy haven't aired yet.

You should check out Mekaku City Actors, especially episode two. There weren't a lot of great shows this season, but that one seems off to a fairly strong start . . . and unlike a lot of other shows, like Black Bullet and Akuma no Riddle, it's not falling apart after the opening episode.

Anyway, it may still be early yet, but I think I can already safely crown No Game No Life as the "winner" this season. There are other decent shows out there, but nothing else is competing at the same level as this.

Isn't that the need one?

NGNL set the bar for Neet animus.

One of the characters is a neet. He's the main character of the first episode, but the next two actually follow another character. In general it seems to be about these teenagers who developed strange abilities in their youth that all negatively affected their lives before they learned to control them. One guy in particular could make himself unnoticeable, and was forgotten by and effectively invisible to his friends and family until he learned to control it. I'm not sure where the overall plot is going, but the episodes focusing on Momo, a girl who draws people's attention to herself, were very well done.

Nice summary.

I've been enjoying Mekakucity Actors so far.

Greatest game of Shiritori ever. Though subtitle wise nothing really makes sense. Regardless, That was the best single episode of anything ever ever

Yeah, it went by too quick for me to understand what determined whether things appeared or disappeared. I could probably figure it out if I went back and analyzed it, but I really didn't want to pause it and halt Blank's master plan. You could usually tell if it was appearing or disappearing by the animations or the context of the word. Even without fully understanding the game though, that was fucking amazing. It was smart, funny, and based on exploiting ignorant natives with science. It's an American tradition, how can I not love it? >_>

It also had the best closing line ever uttered over an episode preview. "I used to be a gamer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."

EDIT: Also, man, that's pretty ballsy posting that picture without context. XD

There's nothing strange about a king tenderly holding and kissing his queen.

I stole your idea and posted that on Facebook, while tagging people that I know are watching the show.

The fact that she's entirely naked for half the episode only adds to the pic.
