With the release of Madhouse's anime film, No Game No Life Zero, based on this novel, and with its associated hype and good reviews, I had some reservations coming to this novel. From a distance, I assumed the an As if I didn't already enjoy the No Game No Life novels as they were, Yuu Kamiya had to go and completely surpass everything he'd previously written, with this, likely his greatest opus.
First off, I'd made it four or five volumes into the prose series before ever watching the TV anime.

I don't understand why, I love the kind of reaction they get when a God appears in the room) and that's all I can say about "these Novels" since it's a kinda mixed review from me. If I had to choose one favourite part of all the Novels I'd say the part where Tet appears in front of them in the "THRONE ROOM" (Note, it's on the Roof in anime. I don't understand why, I love the kind I've now read ALL the 6 novels that are in English *^* it was an amazing experience and I'm longing to read the 7th and "Possibly" the 8th novel(if they make the 8th one <-<) and in my opinion the anime is fine, I like the artstyle but the Novel is MANY times better and also longer "Storywise". if I had to choose one favourite part of all the Novels I'd say the part where Tet appears in front of them in the "THRONE ROOM" (Note, it's on the Roof in anime.

And it was epic tale.Īlso prepare tissues, this is gonna hurt.more “I don’t know what damn god created humans! But if we’re gonna live in this world just to lose and lose and lose some more and get the shit kicked out of us and lose everything and do it again-then why do we have hearts?! Answer me!!”Īnd this is all about how humans, the weakest of them all - managed to screw up and manipulate every single race in order to save their own. Of course, Riku (human) and Schwi (Ex-Machina) are close counterparts of their future successors - Sora and Shiro - and we do see some familiar faces like Jibril and ancestor of Fiel (the Elf) from the main series.

I guess not.
