Big news dropping for all you No Game No Life fans out there! The franchise is throwing down a massive celebration for its tenth anniversary – talk about leveling up! They're rolling out a shiny new Blu-ray BOX this April, and it's not just any old rerun.
So, what's in the loot box? We're talking the full OG twelve-episode series plus the epic "No Game No Life Zero" movie. But wait, there's more! This treasure trove, dubbed the "No Game No Life COMPLETE Blu-ray BOX," packs in those goodies alongside six OVA shorts, a CD with some rad radio shows, and all the promo vids and opening-closing sequences. And get this – snag it from the right shop, and you'll score some exclusive new artwork. But let's keep it 100 – for a tenth anniversary, we were hoping for a bit more than a repackaged party favor.
Who's Behind the Magic?
Let's give a shoutout to the dream team. Yuu Kamiya kicked off the light novel series with MF Bunko J back in April 2012. Then, Mashiro Hiiragi took the baton, bringing the manga to life in Monthly Comic Alive in January 2013. Fast forward to November 2021, and Ryu Naitou steps up to the plate with a fresh manga adaptation, picking up from the second volume of the original light novels.
The story's so dope it scored an anime adaptation with twelve episodes crafted by the wizards at Madhouse, directed by the one and only Atsuko Ishizuka with scripts by Jukki Hanada, hitting screens in April 2014. And let's not forget the blockbuster "No Game No Life: Zero" movie, which dropped in July 2017 with the same all-star crew. Since then, it's been crickets on the project front.
What's No Game No Life All About?
Dive into the surreal comedy of "No Game No Life," where we follow Sora and Shiro, shut-in siblings and online gaming legends known as "Blank." They see the real world as just another lousy game. But everything flips when they're thrown a chess challenge that spirals into an otherworldly realm encounter with Tet, the god of games.
In Disboard, a world where every conflict, from petty squabbles to the fate of whole nations, is settled through high-stakes games. Here, a core rule demands that all players wager something they deem of equal value. In this bizarre land where humanity's essence is just child's play, the indifferent genius duo Sora and Shiro find their true calling: to unite Disboard's sixteen races, take down Tet, and ascend as the new gods in a world where games are everything.
So, what's the play? If you're a die-hard fan or a newbie looking to jump into the game, this anniversary box might just be your next quest item. And hey, don't just take my word for it – share this with your squad and see who's game for a No Game No Life marathon. Let's make this anniversary a legendary win!
