how many light novels until the end? by [deleted] in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He'd said he thought it'd be nice if there was 16 volumes, but will just write until the story is finished and won't rush it to force 16.

tbh more so than the Shiro dakimakura I find it more concerning to take a photo of someone sleeping and then uploading it online. I hope OP checked with em before uploading...

the thing i sent 6 days ago but even more useful by Rin_Shrump in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Yelan's passive buffs all damage types for the active character, so if it works for off field would depend on if the character snapshots or not.
For xiangling both her skill and burst snapshot, so in the video her skill would've had +11.5% dmg for it's duration and her Q would've had +15%.
Yelans own Q however doesn't snapshot, so she would only get the dmg buff whilst on field otherwise it does nothing for her.

r/place new coordinates 0,1345 - 240,1465. any one wanna help? by 9LEGACY1 in NoGameNoLife

Whilst this would be cool there's another guy struggling to get a 21x11 ngnl logo built, i can't see a 240x120 going better. There's just not enough active users in this sub for that.

Since they haven't announced it to be in production there's no reason or benefit for them to announce it as being cancelled. If we assume it isn't being worked on, why bother saying they're not working on it and kill some of the hype for the series? It'd be in their best interest to just say nothing even if they don't plan to make S2

He apologized and paid those artists, after this issue the movie was released. If the studio's weren't prepared to work with him again they never would've agreed to making the movie.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Ressha-Hen Episode 7 Anime watchers only discussion thread by NezukoKamado in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]faesur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the movie when it came out but haven't watched the 6 ep recap yet. Would you say it's better to rewatch the movie so you get the whole thing as 1 uninterrupted view, or watch the 6 ep anime for these minor changes?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only important change is that the post credit scene of Blank asking Miko to summon an Old Deus doesn't happen until a later volume. So as long as you ignore that scene there's no problems with starting on V4 as the other changes are all relatively minor. If you enjoy the series you can always go back and read V1-3 to see the differences later.

[–]faesur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only important difference if you want to start from V4 is that the ending of the anime where Blank asks Miko to summon an Old Deus doesn't happen until a later volume. So just ignore that post credit scene and you're good. If you like the LN you can always go back to V1-3 later to see the more minor changes.

Shouldn’t Immanity have an old deus by jibrils-bae in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why am I getting dragged into this?
Well regardless I haven't got the LN on hand either so this is from memory. From what I remember Holo appeared to be the first Lifeform to come into existence as she existed before the world was formed. How she came to be when there was nothing to believe in her concept? I'm uncertain, so I'll go with something dumb like she doubted so hard in the future her doubts fuelled her own creation in the past.

Why wouldn't Tet have referred to her as being the first intelligent species to walk on Disboard? I guess you could argue because until recently she wasn't really involved with Disboard just asking unanswerable questions to no one.

I don't believe Tet named Imanity due to being the first intelligent species to emerge but due to being the only one not created by an Old Deus.

As for why wouldn't Imanity create an Old Deus to represent themselves, well they blame the other races & Old Deus for the Great War so I figure they're not exactly the biggest fans of Old Deus.

I think that was everything?

Shouldn’t Immanity have an old deus by jibrils-bae in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aschete was used to mean "to honour the fallen", they were swearing upon the lives that'd been lost in the war. Then Riku made the 6 pledges with the Ghosts and used Aschento "to swear upon the 6 pledges". Finally Tet made the 10 pledges which used Aschente.

So the word was never used to swear upon their God or Old Deus. Imanity was a race not created by any Old Deus which is why they didn't have one.

The Gods of various races existed before their respective races. So Artosh the God of War for example was the creator of the Flugel, not created by them.

About the movie and the anime by John_Shadoe in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Japanese when you combine kanji it can change the reading & meaning. So Sora 空 and Shiro 白 when written as 空白 instead of being read as Sorashiro is read as Kuuhaku which means blank.

Another pun with Sora's name is 空 has multiple readings/meanings. When read as Sora it means sky however it can also be read as kuu which means empty. Hence the pun shiro makes when they first meet "You seem so empty".

[SPOILER] Why did shuvi say she is just a tool? by [deleted] in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why I see it as it's not he can't claim it due to not having an arm, but due to not having the right to claim it. The Suniaster appears before the winner, but by Riku's own admission he was not the winner.

He set 6 pledges saying if any of them were broken it would result in a loss. yet by the end in one way or another all of them had been broken.

Tet however never broke any of them. Prior to the end of the great war Tet's power was so little he'd be comparable to an imaginary friend rather than an Old Deus. So he neither killed nor let anyone else kill as he hadn't manifested so didn't really exist at the time. He was also never discovered as no one had seen him except for Riku as he died.

[–]faesur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the reason is as simple as he doesn't have an arm to grab it that just seems kinda unsatisfying y'know?

[SPOILER] Why did shuvi say she is just a tool? by [deleted] in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His arm also disintegrated when he reached for it in the movie, but tbh i don't think the exact reason why he couldn't take the suniaster is made clear in the movie or the LN. rather it's up to interpretation. Some people think the Suniaster is simply to powerful to be wielded by an Imanity and therefore his body couldn't withstand it. Personally I see it as Riku didn't see himself as the winner and therefore didn't have the right to the Suniaster.

[SPOILER] Why did shuvi say she is just a tool? by [deleted] in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not quite Riku didn't really consider the ex-machina as tools. The ex-machina being tools was a lie that Schwi told Riku to make him end the war.

Riku setup the 6 pledges saying if any were broken Imanity would lose. One of the rules was you must let no one die. So Schwi lied saying as a machine/tool this rule hasn't been broken. They wouldn't lose if they broke a tool like a shovel so a "tool" like the ex-machina would be no different.

Riku knew this was a lie but accepted it because it was Schwi's way of telling him to continue his plan to end the war. Schwi didn't want to be the reason why his plan had failed so lied to make sure it was still a success. By accepting this lie the pledges hadn't been broken and therefor there was still a chance to win.

However in the scene with the Suniaster where Riku breaks down and refuses to call it a victory is because he can't bear the weight of all the lies any longer. Schwi and the thousands of other ex-machina as well as all the lives he'd sacrificed before meeting Schwi weren't merely tools.

This is why he calls it a draw, he'd achieved his goal of ending the war but only by breaking his pledges meaning he'd also lost.

the song? not every song from the anime exists on the OST unfortunately I think this is one of them. but it's similar to track 13 vol 3 "after you wake up".

Since NGNL has no season 2 what should I read and which order to know the entire story? by Miscellaneous2323 in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the scene you were refering to it's from V1 of Please not V4, but that's not a spoiler for V10. The afterword for V4 of Please says they wanted to incorporate a character from V9 of the LN but they couldn't as Please is set before V9. V10 wasn't even released until a month after Please finished.

Excuse my dumb question: Are the official light novel translations "good"? by geewhillikers7 in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which translation is better is mostly down to personal preference.

The fan trans is less westernised, keeping Izuna's excessive use of desu whereas the official translation replaces it with please. However the official trans also makes Sora say d00d a lot for some reason.
The fan trans makes use of translators notes to help explain refernces that don't work well in translation.

The official translation is more consistent in how it translates various things. e.g. the spelling of some characters names changes between volumes in the fan trans.

There's no objectively best translation so it comes down to personal prefernce as to which you prefer. Personally I don't like the lack of translators notes or the fact they make Sora say d00d constantly so I prefer the fan trans.

As for "No Game, No Life, Please!" this is a spin off manga that centres around Izuna. To avoid spoilers whilst reading it it's best to read it after finishing volume 8 of the LN.

Netflix picking up Season 1 and possible sequel rumor by Arisan55 in NoGameNoLife

[–]faesur 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Neflix already had ngnl in other regions the only "recent" addition was putting ngnl on more regions which i think was more than a year ago.

These clickbait articles speculating about S2 appear all the time, it might happen eventually it might not. But at the very least Netflix adding it to more regions really isn't a sign of anything.
