The Movie following the light novel series by the same name, No Game, No Life the movie picks up on volume 6 (The TV series leaves off on the end of volume 3, but the story in Volume 6 doesn't reference the events of Volume 4 or 5, which have yet to be animated) The "One True God" Tet tells the story of Immanity's (humanity's) struggle through the Great War and how he came to be the "One True God".

    What starts out and maintains as a highly-interesting anime, devolves in the last 15 minutes to typical anime over-dramatic cliche. The concept is fantastic-- ten super-powers all vying for an all-powerful prize. It contains story, plot, relationships, heroism, intrigue, mystery... and then plop, drops it all in a typical bucket of soliloquy self-indulgence. It leads well into the series and explains some things, but for a significant amount of time near the end I found myself yawning and wondering if they were ever going to get on with things and conclude the story. We see this mechanism all too often in such presentations-- throwing all they've built up to that point out the window for excessive drama and angst. Typical and disappointing-- a fatal flaw in an otherwise brilliant story.

    If you've watch the No Game No Life (2014), then you should have no doubt why I would give No Game No life : Zero 10 rating point. Well, this movie will bring back to the past, which is pretty sadistic in my opinion, when the Eternal War happened among the Gods which want to be the one true of God. But, to win it, someone have to pay the prize!

    Riku, human who fight to survive with his allies, try to end this war which is impossible for them to win while it cost lot of lives. Until he meet the Ex-Machina, which is a robot that want to learn about heart. Guess who is it? I bet you know it. Well, I'll tell no more about the plot of this movie (because I want you to watch it) but there is one thing that I found this movie leave a deep feeling inside me, which is:

    There's no boundary of love. At last they are together in the past life as a husband and wife although for just a little time.

    But one thing remain unanswered is - will there be No Game No Life Season 2?

    If you are one of No Game No Life fan, do support them (by watching the movie to your nearest cinema). Because, the game is still ongoing.

    During the first 20 minutes it already feels dragged.

    You also get loredump without meaning. Dwarves. A-bombs. Some demonic race. Whatnot. Did I mention before they blow up the world and Matrix the sky the world is already blown up, and the sky is already Matrixed?

    IF you watched the series you might decipher the context for this thing, which is well drawn at least, but otherwise don't bother.

    No game no life: zero takes place 6,000 years ago in the midst of the "eternal war" where 15 gods all thought that they were the one true god. What the gods do to determine the one true god is try to kill each other. Each god created a different and somehow unique race. There are dwarves, fairies, elves, flugels, humans, warebeasts, etc. The gods gather their armies and go to war. The 2 main protagonists are Riku who is a human fighting in the war and Schwi who is an ex-machina who separated herself from the system to learn about the human heart and emotions. I say that this is a must watch because it really made me feel for the characters and I was also very entertained. The ngnl anime series was where all conflicts were solved with games. The reason for that is because this eternal war was so violent and horrific that the last god remaining had to ban all acts of violence. So I like the change from happy go lucky characters with not much to worry about to people who are aware that they could die at any moment. The fight scenes are amazing and the it also really pulls on your heartstrings. I love this movie to death and I recommend that you watch it. Watch the series first if you haven't seen that because it pretty much requires you to have at least some knowledge about the world that it takes place.

    This is the most satisfying anime film I've seen in years! The feels... the feels are real, damn those Onion Cutting Ninjas!

    I will start by saying unless you watch No Game No Life (anime) first you will have no idea whats going on. To be honest I had no idea what was going on for the first half, but when it got started, my GOD did it get started! When Riku gets the glint in his eyes... sh*t got real! From 1 to 999999 in 0 seconds flat!

    The story, and you have to watch it all the way through, was slow to start but beautifully executed. This has to be only of the only anime recently that actually requires a brain to think about things. The plot, is a fantastic story of the birth of "Imanity" and their triumph in the face of insurmountable odds.

    From the movie, its clear that Sora & Shiro are a reincarnated Schwi & Riku - Japan is the land of Buddhism, in Buddhism the belief is reincarnation after death. So the one true God, Tet the God of Games, pulled these two back into his world to finish his game and he was "defeated", thanks to Riku's last prayer (to play again, but this time they could win). Also when speaking to Izuna Hatsuse (cat girl) he only refers to "those two" and not Sora & Shiro by name.

    This wont be for everyone, I can understand why some wouldn't "get it"... but if you liked No Game No Life, you will love this. Great story, beautiful artwork and just a magnificent film all round.

    The movie has in store a lot of moments that are intense, heart-warming, psychological and action-packed. The movie involves a sense of literature in the resolve for the meaning of life. The story evokes a lot of sadness/sympathy. In contrast, some memorable comedic and joyful moments which washes the sadness away gracefully. Last but not least, the visuals were astonishing and the characters were memorable.

    Pros fun characters mostly good pacing great cinematography and directing cons too many time jumps leading to a rushed romance the main story didn't need to be included and would've had a greater impact without it

    if your a no game no life fan its great to watch although we may never get season 2 and this sort of makes up for it, kinda like rubbing alcohol in a wound it helps but hurts as well

    I think it balanced not to be too explanatory while keep trying to persuade whats the context characters are staying in. It is true that one should know about some of the worldview of the original novel, but, just reading the wiki page it will work. I think it reached another level compared to TVA or original novel. Totally worth watching.

    I have waited probably a year to watch this movie finally, and no big surprise was a fantastic movie with a ton of great lore and characters.

    The movie sets itself back in time around 6000 years ago, where everyone was in a war, and it rained this ash that could kill the Humans. The Ex-Machina destroyed the home of our main character Riku as he was a child. Riku managed to survive somehow after a massive explosion.

    Years past by and a ton of his friends died, they blamed himself every time whenever they died and was quite emotional towards the death of his great friends that trust them with their life.

    Riku then later on the movie found the Ex-Machina that destroyed his home and was shocked. She invited him to play a game of chess, which didn't show who won, but as we can assume that the Ex-Machina won. The Ex-Machina then joined Riku and wanted to know about "hear" and what makes the humans keep going even though they lost so much. Riku of course later ask the Ex-Machina for its name, and she is called Üc207Pr4f57t9, he asks again, and some names pop up and eventually she is known as Shuvi.

    Fast forward in the movie: Riku and Shuvi make a bond that won't be quickly forgotten, while Shivu slowly learns about the human heart, Riku goes on his knees and proposes to Shivu. Shivu declines at first as she thinks it is impossible that a human and an Ex-Machina can stay together forever and be married. She further goes to say she destroyed his home, she did everything- yet Riku says something around the lines of that her past doesn't matter. She being here now and being with him in the future is what matters most to him, so he puts the ring and once more asks "Will you marry me?" she accepts, and they get married, which really beautiful. They would be known as Riku & Shuvi Dola, which is the last name of Corone- which is Stephanie's ancestor.

    Then here we're at the end of the movie where everything matters, our main characters Riku & Shivu played around against the races and took them to the center to get the ultimate device, this is where the movie and everything gets emotional and sad, Riku is exhausted and tired of everything so far. Riku finally gets "a day off" as before Riku falls asleep he said how happy he met Shivu and how much he loves her. Riku falls asleep, and Shivu decides to go alone- outside. When we see Jibril go out and fight 1 on 1 against Shivu, where she says that Jibril wants Shivu's head as she's adorable.

    Shivu warns Jibril, and she doesn't listen and where they fight in a largely heated battle where Shivu does her best to survive and live. When she was about to be beaten, she calls to the creator that Riku has completed her quest to know about the human heart, and as she is dying, the creator first declines then Shivu hesitates and explain her discovery. This gets accepted, and she gets in her super machina form where she battles Jibril as she got some seconds to live with this form. Jibril blasts her and defeats Shivu, Shivu is heavily damaged and barely fight back. She is lying there hopeless as she does one last thing before Jibril destroys her and that is sent Riku her wedding ring.

    Riku realizes this and wakes up that Shivu is nowhere to be found and she has indeed died. He is completely lost and sad- he is broken and can give up once for a moment. He just lost the reason of him keep going of him keep fighting. Without that he doesn't know what to do anymore. Then one of the more advanced Ex-Machina arrives to give him the ring and Riku decides to give it one last go.

    The plan has just started the giant bombs, and magic in one center make the ultimate device appear as Riku is about to grab it he can't manage to grab it as he gets mad over how many people died over gaining this device. Soon he attempts to take out his hand to take it, he slowly disappears and dies. He makes one last knee and prays to the god of games. He prays, and the god of games appears in front of him and makes his prayer come true.

    Shivu's death and Riku's last stand was the saddest part of the movie, and I'd say this movie is pretty damn good and worth a shot. I think you should watch this movie as this movie is about the two most bad ass married couple who fought against the chance in a game.

    The credit song was as well beautiful, I have to say there is no bonus scenes so you don't have to sit through the credit, but if you wish to listen to the beatiful voice then be my guest.
