But similar to Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale (and any anime movie for that matter), I went into Zero completely blind otherwise. Quite a few people I’ve talked to at conventions have brought up how hyped they were for the upcoming tale, and the scores for it are pretty damn high on anime ranking sites, so I guess I’m a little glad that they got what they wanted whilst ignoring all the criticisms about how these new characters have the most ridiculously over designed wardrobes since Joe Madureira’s experience with video games. What I did know though is that No Game No Life fans who got to see the movie before I did pretty much celebrate Zero as the new generation’s Disappearance. In fact, NGNL Zero is an adaptation of the sixth novel, which details the story of a dude and his robot waifu from six thousand years ago who suspiciously parallel the main gamer duo – although I didn’t look into what the overarching plot of that novel was prior to watching the movie, nor did I bother to research whether this particular novel was considered a standout amongst the series like Disappearance is to Haruhi then or now. As such, it garners a little more attention than most franchise movies because you actually have to see this one in order to understand a good chunk of the ongoing plot in the same vein as The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya and to a lesser extent, those Eden of the East films. No Game No Life Zero is a sequel film to the 2014 critically acclaimed series of the same name (minus Zero) whose source material is actually based off of one of the original light novels rather than just being one of those non-canon fillers that were created for the sole purpose of bringing the characters to the big screen for an overly long reunion special. At least the movie is honest regarding how it has zero game and zero life.
