My first complaint is about the way in which the story is told there are a lot of random jumps in the plot which are never explained.
Schwi ComplaintsĪlthough this movie looks nice just like the series, it really isn’t that good of a movie. Her character is even less important than Stephanie’s was in the series. In order to blend in with human society, Riku dresses Schwi in an over-sized animal hoodie and has her take on a different persona, one that’s supposed to seem “cute.”Īnother character who’s considered “main,” but is really more of a supporting character is Couronne Dola, the ancestor of Stephanie Dola who’s friends with Sora and Shiro. The reason for this is that after she was sent to learn about the human heart, the data she collected couldn’t be comprehended by the hive mind and so was labeled as corrupt data.
While Exmachina are usually found in large swarms and work as a hive mind, Schwi was outcast from the group. Instead, Schwi is a robotic life form known as an Exmachina. While Shiro was Sora’s sister (I forget if they were blood related or not), Schwi isn’t related to Riku in any way and isn’t even human. They also both have loli “companions,” but in different fashions. Really all that they have in common is that they look fairly similar and are both good at games, although in Riku’s case it’s only chess. However, he doesn’t seem to have the same perverted nature that Sora has. By this I mean that Sora is a reincarnation of Riku. Riku is the male lead of the movie and is essentially the previous version of Sora from the series. It’s in this dark, dangerous world where the story of how the world ruled by games came to be takes place. In fact, there’s a war going on between all of the different races which has sent humans to the brink of extinction. The movie takes place before the world was run by games and so violence and war are very real. However, the world of No Game No Life: Zero isn’t the one we’re familiar with from the series. It’s also impossible for anyone to use violence against anyone else due to a similar law of “physics” we’ll call it.
You may recall from the series that everything in this world is decided by playing games and any wager is enforced by the fundamental laws of the world. It appears these were the actual events which took place in the past of the world. The main portion of the movie is a story being told to Izuna Hatsuse by the god of games as a legend, although the viewer is led to believe the story is more than just a legend. In this movie, Sora and Shiro, the main characters from the series, aren’t present other than a minor scene at the very end of the movie which ties it to the main story. I make exception sometimes.No Game No Life: Zero is the prequel movie to the No Game No Life series.
It is fantastic.Īlso, yes, this IS an 1080p torrent. Video is from the JP BD, the subtitles are from the US BD, and the subtitles for the little intro to the movie are from me. While Sora & Shiro are arguably smarter then Riku & Schwi, I have many doubts that Sora & Shiro would have been able to pull off what Riku & Schwi did. While it did have some comedy and a little bit of fanservice, this movie is much darker then the series. This is the forgotten history of the never-ending war, before the world was remade into Disboard. Humanity was not part of the Exeeed at the time. Each of the 15 races were out for blood, and each is said to have access to their own kind of super-weapon. This was a world without the 10 Commandments. Not only does it look great, but the characters and plot are fantastic. With her help, he might be able to bring an end to this meaningless battle.
But one day, Riku encounters an exiled member of the Ex-Machina race. Riku Dola, the leader of the remaining humans, does what he can to keep them alive, but doing so requires that some of them are sacrificed to gather the information they so need. The only silver lining is that none of the other races pay any attention to them, as they are far beneath them. But that is becoming harder and harder, as the very air on the planet has become toxic to them because of the ash which follows the battles between the races. With no way of defending themselves from the 15 races, they do what they can to gather information and find places that are relatively safe. As the never-ending war rages on, destroying the planet, the survivors of the native population struggle to stay alive. A device said to be able to destroy the entire universe. Somewhere, on an isolated planet, 15 races battle for the ultimate prize.
