Get ready for the final battle; No Game No Life [End]???
The ultimate episode for No Game No Life season one is in the air
and it is closed with a bang. After activated her warbeasts power, Izuna turned into
a monster with a faster and stronger physic. Both Sora and Shiro was stormed
with a ridiculously fast attack from the berserk Izuna and with the games
getting closer to the end, could you imagine how they could turn the table?
Ultimately, Izuna shot Sora and Shiro and it seems this is the first
time blank lose in a game. Out of nowhere, Izuna was shot by none other than
Stephanie Dola!!!!. My jaw was drooping when I saw she turned out as the one
who got the winning shot. Seriously, I did not see it coming and with a very
anti-climatic end nevertheless. It turned out that Sora’s spell from the
previous two episodes was an order for Step to obey the written order from
Shiro. With a very calculated strategy, Blank made Stephanie moved undetected
from Izuna and when she was on the firing range, she shot.
I have to admit that Sora and Shiro are extremely cautious
individuals and they check their steps just even before the game started. In reality, they keep winning the game because they know attacking the other races
head on would be impossible due to their weaknesses. So, the best bet for them
is putting traps and plenty of insurance and making a trick to made the enemies
forget about the least important member (in this game it’s Stephanie)
The episode also introduced another female representative from
eastern federation, the shrine priestess. She was completely pissed off with
the loss of warbeast territory to the Elkia and she threatened Sora that the
eastern federation would take revenge for their loses. In order to ease the
tension, Sora challenged her to a coin toss to determine who should take over
the continents. Still, the ever-cunning Sora moved the tile before the coin
dropped to make the coin toss end in draw. With the result, Elkia won the
territory of warbeast but they remained independence and the alliance was
formed between the two countries.
Blank sibling announced that they intend to challenge the god, Tet,
and in order to do that; they need to gather the entire race piece from the game’s
world. Just before the episode closing, sora revealed the shrine priestess’
true nature as an old Deus (Deus was an equivalent words for God). And Madhouse
definitely wants to torture us mentally by ending the first season with such a big
cliffhanger as the Blank sibling prepared to play the game with the shrine
priestess.
My impression for No Game No Life in this season was very good. I
know that it is one of the anime that have no shame to ridicule itself to the
utmost level. I could see that behind it hilarity and naughty theme, NGNL has
it share of solemn moment plus it made me laugh and cringe for many of it
jokes. Not to mention, NGNL tried it best to ridicule the main characters as
gamers without any need for social life. As a gamers myself, watching NGNL made
me laugh countless time due to weird and extravagance both Sora and Shiro
personalities because of their love for games. I know I would like to wait for
the second season and I was hoping more intricate storytelling and more fun
jokes and exaggeration comedy. That was my opinion regarding the first season
of NGNL. Now what is YOURS opinion regarding to the anime?
