fred_fredburger95 personally I prefer traps but if the futa is working with both tools then I suppose that could be seen as a evaluationary step forward
It should always be that if it doesn't cause a problem to others in any way (maybe other than some unwarranted disgust), then we have no business stopping them. Like a daughter and a mom become a lesbian couple, which was in the news at one point or another, but it's not like they can have deformed babies, and they seem to not really have any other direct relatives, so... who cares? But people will still, for whatever reason, urge to call some form of facility to split them apart or something? It just comes across to me as people not really thinking straight about why certain social stigmas even exist in the first place
As much as I love this show I still have trouble wrapping my head around how Steph is a highly intelligent, very socially capable, well connected person who can manipulate the all her underlings into obeying and carrying out all the orders of Sora and Shiro, as well as thwarting the plans of the more selfish of them since her fathers death. All this at the young age of 16. And yet when she's not doing those things she's portrayed as a bad lier, terrible at manipulation, bad at reading others and at maintaining a poker face. You can't have it both ways so to me it comes off like she has split personality disorder (or the writters think a joke at her expense is worth more then character consistency)-
I don't think it's necessarily split personality. You have to keep in mind that things like bureaucracy and and politics are things that Steph is likely extremely skilled at, and she was raised from a background that involved many negotiations with politicians and lords, as well as the people beneath her. As Digi had just described, she is perfectly conformed to the rules of her society and is completely able to play by those rules. However, that is a lot of speculation, and not much is actually done to show her competency at this, so it is understandable if it seems unbelievable that she is competent in these regards. However, in the poker faceoff to determine the next king, you have to consider that she is probably extremely flustered to be thrust in a position where it seems like winning is left up to mere chance, and she has seemingly no way to manipulate the outcome of the tournament. This is something that Sora and Shiro are easily able to see past from the outset. Furthermore, when facing off against Sora and Shiro, they easily trounce her because their way of thinking about the world is just expanded on such a level that Steph is currently unable to comprehend, given the way she was raised and has learned to operate. So it's not really that Stephanie is simultaneously highly intelligent and capable yet simultaneously a bad liar, it's just that she and [ ] are fundamentally on different levels that Steph can't even begin to approach (yes, she's completely out of their league). The fact that the show also tries to normalize [ ]'s ridiculous god-tier intelligence in order to fulfill that otaku "I'm totally like/want that" fantasy makes it all the less obvious that Steph is actually an extremely qualified individual, much like how Rick's intelligence in Rick and Morty is portrayed as a standard so that tweens around the world can think "fuck man, yeah i'm totally a Rick in a sea of Morties", when really Rick is in fact, supremely exceptional, and most of the people in the show are fairly normal or perhaps even upstanding people in their everyday lives. The show goes out of their way to showcase their dysfuctional behaviors because that is what makes for a good and entertaining show.
There's actually a scene in the light novels if I recall correctly that I Ino points out to her that she is infact very skilled at games, she's only unskilled when it comes to being compared to the rest of team [ ](particularly Sora and Shiro). He then points out how easily she beats the various lords who she tried to get in line so easily. As a side note, just consider where we meet Steph, in the tournament to become the next king, a day maybe 2 from when the winner will be crowned, against the person who inevitably wins, by cheating. Sounds like she probably made it pretty far into the tournament to me
@ApocalypseCracker TwittGod people use the language to understand each other, if you as a creator use wrong words your audience can interpreter your message wrong. Nobody wants that.
classic digibro pulp meets comparative mythology? yeah, baby, i'll buy it. gonzo joseph campbell is in town, and he's updated folkloric readings for the fringe generation.
Kim Poirier What in the mother of god are you taking about? This anime has nothing to do with mythology. Oh wait, Tet is the god of this world so that’s actually Christian Mythology. Whatever!!!
not to be insanely pedantic, but digibro's template is (pretty obviously) an otaku-age reinterpretation of narratology theories first described by the late author and historian joseph campbell. you can literally just google 'the hero's journey' and learn all about the terms i described above. or not, whatever. but digi knows what i'm on about, and that's enough.
NGNL isn't really a hero's journey either. In the regular hero's journey there is a call to adventure, and the hero gets help on his journey from others, but that is where the similarities end with NGNL, as far as I know. The heroes are supposed to be challenged and changed as a result. Perhaps that happens in the future, but as it stands, it's an odd thing to compare NGNL to. Especially since Blank are mentor figures in that story, showing everyone else how their world works. Well, if that is the case, then the hero's journey story needs a hero. The Otaku Hero's Journey might be different but he doesn't really explain how, he just goes with the idea and couches social commentary into it. I can't say I came away agreeing with his point lol.
whiteflagstoo Yeah, it’s a story about a complete disfunctional lunatic who literally spends his life playing video games all day and lives in a big house with only sister making you question why he’s able to live without any parents or having to pay for the bills because that’s how the government works and then gets sucked into this magical world where he literally just decides to become the god for no reason at all with no motivation as to why. He’s also disrespectful to women treating them like animals and objects and then shows his pure idiot side saying that he wants to be a girl and then takes it back when Jibril said that she wouldn’t be able to turn him back into a human and nobody ever points out how stupid Sora is and we’re supposed to believe that he is actually very intelligent. It’s all just a tangled together mess that creates events that happen for no reason, doesn’t explain what’s going on, and then just leaves you there with tons of gaping plot holes because nobody really cares about storytelling and characters because apparently that’s all just nitpicking. No Game No Life is a piece of garbage that needs to be eradicated from this world!!!
this video has convinced me that despite my collection of gunpla, despite my collection of anime, and despite my constant anime binging, I am not an otaku. I have been passionate about anime for more than 20 years, but I have never, not even once, looked at my appreciation for anime as some sort of significant counter-culture statement. I have trouble fitting in with social norms but those difficulties have nothing to do with my love for anime, nor are they the cause for me falling in love with anime. But that certainly doesn't make me a "normie", I couldn't mesh with societal norms even if you offered me a million bucks if i tried.
For me it's the other way around. I have no problems with society and fitting in but I hate the western shows everybody around me watches. So for me anime and the otaku culture are very much to rebel against my family and my highschool friends, who see nothing of worth in anime and only care about GoT and the likes. Luckily my current best friend(s) is(are) just as much into otaku-culture as I am.
"I have trouble fitting in with societal norms" "I couldn't mesh with societal norms even if you offered me a million bucks if I tried" I don't understand how you can't see it
being a brazilian otaku in japan makes him more outcasted than a japanese otaku in japan, especially with japan's relative xenophobia against non-japanese even while considering the closer connection that the japanese and brazilians have
This concept is both clever and goofy. Digi's a great writer; if most others in Anitube had done this, it would have come off as so much more incredibly self-serving than what it currently is. I think it succeeds in removing itself from the fact that this video is being made for and by otaku and analyzing it as any other allegorical/trope-driven shows. Definitely looking forward to wherever this may go (maybe, maybe the start of some nomenclature among other analysts in the future?). Oh, and Digi. Do you actually put more than 50% confidence on the Simulation Hypothesis?
think about it like this, if one day in the very far future it is possible for us to run a simulation on par with our current world. then in such a future there would inevitably be more simulations than one, and if these simulation are on par with our current reality they would also have simulations within those simulations. This means that there are exponentially more simulations than non simulations so there is at least a 99% chance we are in a simulation
Kinbok This assumes that it would ever be possible to simulate our reality with the current fidelity it has. Even the best theoretical most efficient computer we could create in our universe wouldn't be able to simulate itself; the computer would need to at bare minimum be many times larger than the Earth, and possibly larger than the observable universe. Since accurate simulations are so computationally expensive, either this isn't a simulation, or this is a low-fidelity simulation. It's probably not low-fidelity because of all the scientific experiments humanity has done being super computationally expensive, but maybe none of those ever happened and the simulation only exists around you. imo this is super self-centered and kinda unlikely. If in the future we do end up making completely accurate simulations, then we likely wouldn't bother or be capable of making too many of them, so there's still pretty good odds that we're not in a simulation.
The Last Scoot You are extremely narrow in your thinking and imaginations. You assume that this isn't a low fidelity simulation simply because it _looks_ complicated to you in your frame of understanding. Why do you imagine that this simulation would be an exact simulation of the world it is simulated in? What if we actually come from a world full of slime people, billions of years of technology above ours, and this current world is a videogame of some fictional world that's popular at the time. What if the laws of physics are different in that world, or they have found ways to simulate universes on a computer the size of a fingernail? You are making assumptions based on your own extremely limited understanding of not only our universe and its potential, but every possible hypothetical universe that could exist. Having said that, giving our current knowledge, whether or not we are in a simulation is completely unknown to us, so people throwing out figures like 99% or 1% are only just that, nigh-meaningless guesses.
Might be worth mentioning that the "Mad Scientist" and "Living Computer" paradigm is literally as old as novels themselves as it's born of Don Quixote (The Mad Scientist) and his partner, Sancho Panza (The Living Computer, mostly in personality). Take for example Zap Brannigan and Kiff in Futurama as another permutation of this. This paradigm can be found throughout history for comical effect in the funnyman and the straightman.
I'm all the things you described about not understanding society or how it works, except I have no intelligence, don't understand anything, am a walking social disaster (literally no one ever wants to hear me talk about anything, or talk period), I hate my family, my friends, or lack thereof, and people in general. The only thing I'm good at is Overwatch, and I'm not even good at it. I hate who I am, what I'm limited to being because of my upbringing, unseen invisible things that control my every thought, emotion and feeling. I feel like I've lived my whole life in a cube or cage, unable to ever be free and move outside of it, only able to squirm and helplessly flail inside it. No game no life is my favorite anime-it constantly makes me cry, fills me with excitement, and hope. I'm really glad you did a video on this and put into words things I was only vaguely (or not at all) aware of.
Just seeing this comment, something about it resonates with me. Write out your thoughts and put them up online on a blog or something and I'll read the fuck outta that shit.
I feel like that sometimes, when I'm in a dark mood. I'm going to university in September in an attempt to do something with myself. I'm gonna come out of it with a lot of debt but if I manage good enough grades I'll be able to have a good job and not have to stay with my family anymore. I don't believe I will make any friends but that's nothing new. I don't want people to feel like that. I hope you find something to support you.
FrogPuppy Stop with the self pity, stop blaming others for how you are, the only invisible cage is yourself. If you think getting people on the internet to pity you is going to help it wont. Go do something with your life or don’t complain.
Only Digi can make me watch a 20 min commentary video about an anime I never heard about (and couldn't care less) before, and make me wanna add it to my watchlist by the end of it.
I'm so glad you posted your no game no life video on my 21 birthday. I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on it for years. Great video, here's a beer for you, buddy.
I'm not a fan of No Game No Life, but my favorite part of it (besides the opening) was the protagonists turning "Steph" into an adjective. As cruel their bullying of Steph is, this managed to crack me up every time and I was glad to hear you continue the joke in this video.
There is nothing justifiable about turning Stephanie into an animal and nobody coming back at Sora for how completely stupid that is! It’s so stupid and it’s just shown because for fanservice.
This was one of the GREATEST Isekai video game anime's and yet no one mentions it. It's always Sword Art Online, Overlord, and to a lesser extent Log Horizon. Yet!... No one ever mentions this anime along with the others in main stream... Why???
I personally think it's near the same level of dislike I have for sword art online(just because of the animation) it's just that people like shitting on sword art online more and more people like no game no life for some reason, so no I don't think it should get that much recognition. Also many people know of it, so how is it never mentioned?
Because it's fucking dead, that's why. It came in and left quicker then a lower class black father. Eventually people who watched it just kinda forgot about it due to it's none existent relevancy and those who disliked it/were neutral had no reason to care about it in the first place.
@@plipplop1769 You have garbage taste if you think ngnl has bad animation, same for SAO although not to the same degree. SAO, for all its problems, is a well drawn and animated show. NGNL is outright gorgeous and one of the best shows I've seen visually to date.
I loved how the movie was a complete contrast from the Anime. It made me feel way more invested when I rewatched it and gave me a much more satisfying experience.
This show wasn't to my taste when I saw it a few years ago, but I can respect your points here, and I appreciate the high effort on the video, because I really might go back and rewatch it now. Good luck with all the videos this month and shit in general lately
Am I the only one that really loves NGNL Zero? I even bought the collector's edition of the movie and it makes me cry my eyes out at the movie theater....
I'm so happy Digi thought No Game No Life is good! It felt like something so fresh and unique when I first saw the first season. Hope there will be a second season soon ...
Honestly, no game no life takes the concept of cleverness and charisma to an extreme. The most intelligent anime I've ever watched and it's one show that's come closer to what i personally consider 'perfect' than most.
Actually, Elon Musk does not necassarly think we are in a simulation. Only that, if it was physicly possible to create a simulation like that, it would be exponetialy more likely that that would be the case.
@@Gnidel The problem with simulation theory is infinite regression. No matter what reality you find yourself in it would still likely just be a "simulation". However, in order for there to have ever been a simulation, a form of base reality necessarily exists. Using Occam's Razor you can thoroughly dismiss this problem, as infinite regression is also infinite complexity.

Digibro, It's been awhile since I last saw the No Game No Life movie, but from I remember of the movie it was set in a world before Tet took over, so it was very possible for the Anonymous to die, which seems to contradict your statement at 17:30 about not having to worry about death for your team.
13:23 I find that not true for my case, which would be relatable for No Game No Life. Undergone maternal neglect and abuse together, we understand each other and share the most sympathy. With that being said, abuse takes many forms and there are too many variables. All I want to say is that the closure between them in No Game No Life has a logical explanation.
damn i agree with literally everything that was said in the 19 minutes 49 seconds that this video lasted. that is precisely why i consider this anime a 10/10. I love this anime so much that it was the first time i went out of my way to get the light novels because i couldnt bear not knowing what happens next. also, this anime referenced both steins;gate AND jojo, some of my favourite animes of all time. theres no denying that this anime is anything short of fantastic
The simulation hypothesis comes about because the universe is supposedly quantized, at Planck scales, or an incredibly short distance. We know light is quantized, since Max Planck and Albert Einstein mathematically figured this out over 100 years ago. And video games are quantized - to much higher scales - Minecraft is quantized in 1 meter cubes and 1/10th of a second ticks, so our Universe could be seen as just a finer quantization of Minecraft.
when you said something like "in case we eventually penetrate the 4th dimension, we are likely to just join races of beings that are trying the same with the 5th one" i kinda compared that to the sao dungeon, just with endless layers :D
Ah... Big Words!... Gotta watch this video while playing the main ost just to feel smart af That nice, great video as always. Again giving me some new perspectivies on a series I already enjoy
I. _Love._ Aketagawa Jin's sound design. It is partially because it's extremely bassy and conspicuous which gives a lot of oomph to everything, but it's more than that. It's that something as simple as an edit can be given the most epic sound effect in the world. Remember when AVGN said that the great thing about Atari is that something as simple as going through a door is an Event? That is Aketagawa Jin to me. He can enhance anything. Why does it sound stock? I don't know, maybe because he's worked on so many shows by this point and his sound is so distinctive that if you've heard him more than twice, yeah, you're gonna know what he's about. He's like the Hanazawa Kana of sound design.
Bit of a mistake here: Tet didn't just "suddenly realize" how to improve things, rather he wasn't initially in control... but at the same time, he didn't care to play the game everyone else was when "control" was being contested. And just like nuclear war, "not playing" turned out to be the only winning move.
HOLY SH!T! Why doesn't this have a second season. I just stayed up all night watching the first season. It literally ended on a god tier cliffhanger. To find out this show has been out since 2014. This show deserves a second season. But what am I saying there are a lot of shows out there that deserve a second season. But feel like this show has no ended. It would be nice for it to have a movie at least giving it an ending.
"Yggdrasil's Piano" will never be as good as "I Wrote this Light Novel in Like a Day, it Sucks and I Hate, but if it Gets a Anime I'll Act Like it was a Work of Genius"
So basically, if something has a society (which every living thing has to have because that’s just the way all living life operates), it’s best chance of all life in that society to be happy is for all the life in that society to die. Or for society for life to not exist, but that’s impossible because, again, *that’s just how brains work*
"The release date for No Game No Life Season 2 is highly anticipated, especially now that anime studio Madhouse is starting to make a name for making anime sequels. The No Game No Life: Zero movie provided a prequel story that just wet fans’ appetites for watching more of Shiro and Sora’s main adventure. But why is Madhouse being such a Steph by making fans wait for the Ngnl anime sequel?" - IMDb
I just realized that no game no life and dorei-ku the animation are basicly the same anime with different displays of human nature. No game no life is about the possibility of being extraordinary and utterly destroing every possibility of having a problem while dorei ku is the other side of the coin, the possibility to turning yourself in to the worst person you can be. Both of them use a system that simplifies the method to which these extremes can be achieved. Its interesting to think that if i had no moral compass whatsoever i could even compare them further, not really diferentiating the consequences of starting a game in both universes. That tangent aside its also interesting if you consider that no game no life presents you the result of the mind you have when youre a child (stereotypically speaking) in which everything is possible and bubbly and everything looks beautiful and the darkness of the world doesnt exist while dorei ku seems to have the typical disilusion that comes with aging. You ever think about the fact that we dont have different adjectives for people that are in different stages of their adulthood? Think about it from somewhere around your late 20's to your late 50's youre just an adult and the different decades that encompass that age gap are as different as childhood and teenage years. Sorry this has always been in my mind and i never had the context to introduce this in a conversation P.s: sorry for this trainwreck of a comment, i didnt really plan what i was going to say when i started writing so i just rambled on
we need s2 of "no game no life" and "the problem children are coming from another world aren't they?". sora and shiro playing against a former god is going to be be ultra hype. as would izayoi,asuka,and you vs the next demon lord.
Sora & Shiro's interaction with knowledge reminds me of Kyousuke & Kirino, the latter pair have a different issue with it that the anime didn't fully reveal.
As someone who really enjoys ngnl but isn't into otaku culture that much, I would really have liked some other examples of these archetypes you've been mentioning. It is quite interesting to hear how these characters are all fairly standard archetypes, and while I can probably think of a couple like each other them, I don't think I've watched or read any other story that had this philosophical structure using all of them that you mention is common. I think I would understand it better if I heard some examples
Lain Lain Dimensions are not alternate or parallel universes, or strange foreign realms that be accessed. They're just directions you can travel. That is literally all they are. The third dimension is just at a right angle from the second, and the fourth dimension is just the direction that is a right angle from the third. They obviously have crazy implications in physics and mathematics that make them a little more complicated than that, but fundamentally, it makes no sense to "travel" to another dimension. You're already inside it. Just as there is no "second dimension" that exists as some parallel universe to our own, but rather every second dimensional plane must exist as a cross section of some 3-dimensional space, no 3-dimensional space exists separately from the 4th dimension. Every moment in the third dimension is a cross section of a fourth dimensional space.
Same, there's some videos out there about higher dimensions that make big claims off of (scientifically) fictitious arguments. aka: where's my proofs man, some do bring math, some bring lesser-leaps in potentiality and some bring strait fantasy. But then again, if considering their (higher dimensions') potentiality as an actual possibility, compared to our current view they can literally be defined as "strange foreign realms" as well as "parallel(metaphorically) perspectives of reality". So... no, that is actually a valid way to conceptualize higher dimensions as there is zero proofs for them. lmao. And before you answer let me say, "that's not proof". Putting out more hypotheticals can never prove anything ;/. and I do believe in the large majority of "our" recent scientific perspectives, of the ones I am aware of. ps: yea I know about 4th dimensional implementation as a concept inside of 3-d games to overcome gimbal lock. But that is a simulation, not reality.
dddmemaybe I'm really struggling to parse what you've written. Best I can tell your point is that you think that I'm wrong and that you can use the word dimension like that? No idea. You need to tidy up your writing style. If I understood your point, then we are arguing semantics, as you are advocating for its colloquial use, and I expect a writer like Digi, who dreams of being a great analyst, to use technical words correctly to ensure maximum communication efficiency. Either he was using the colloquial definition space, which is disappointing and not a precedent that works in favour of his growth as a writer and analyst, or he doesn't understand what the word dimension means and shouldn't have used it. As to the gimbal lock thing. This is a concept called quaternions, which are a more complete way of describing rotations in 3D space. Ordinarily in linear algebra, one uses some of the U(3) group of transformations to describe rotations. There is a symmetry of the group which causes gimbal lock by aligning rotation directions. Quaternions are 4×4 matrices which form a truly complete description of rotation in 3D space - they use 4 numbers to accomplish this. This use of 4 numbers is analogous to 4 spatial dimensions, but that is only a surface level assessment and in truth they are much more closely related to the complex plane. To explain requires an understanding of complex exponentials: if you have an axis of real numbers as the X axis and an axis of imaginary numbers (multiples of i) as the Y axis, multiplying by i is precisely equivalent to a counterclockwise rotation by π/2 radians (90°) from the real axis to the imaginary axis. This is described by e^iθ using θ=π/2. This is also the origin of e^iπ + 1 = 0, as e^iπ is two counterclockwise rotations of 90° from 1 about the origin, ending up at -1. This same principle is extended to the other two additional numbers, j and k, and these three plus the real axis can fully describe rotations in 3D space without gimbal lock. I recall you begin needing absurd amounts of these additional axes to fully describe rotations in 4 or higher dimensional mathematical spaces, but I don't have a source close at hand, and it is trivially googleable if you aren't on a phone.
HopperDragon Not to mention anything above the 3rd dimension is just pure speculation. People say the 4th dimension is "time" but we don't even know for sure if having width or length in time is even possible. It's purely a thought experiment.
+Hunter Stiles As Strober noted, you simply have a width, a length, and a volume as you move around and change with age; so does every other object. Movement hinges on time because you were probably in bed this morning but then you got up and went to the bathroom at some point.

I actually just watched the movie last night. Definitely agree that it was not as good as the main show, though I think it was more a matter of trying to condense what seemed like an entire season of a show into an hour-forty movie, rather than because of it beating the audience over the head with its message.

Gamers rise up.
As much as I love this show I still have trouble wrapping my head around how Steph is a highly intelligent, very socially capable, well connected person who can manipulate the all her underlings into obeying and carrying out all the orders of Sora and Shiro, as well as thwarting the plans of the more selfish of them since her fathers death. All this at the young age of 16. And yet when she's not doing those things she's portrayed as a bad lier, terrible at manipulation, bad at reading others and at maintaining a poker face. You can't have it both ways so to me it comes off like she has split personality disorder (or the writters think a joke at her expense is worth more then character consistency)-
I don't think it's necessarily split personality.
You have to keep in mind that things like bureaucracy and and politics are things that Steph is likely extremely skilled at, and she was raised from a background that involved many negotiations with politicians and lords, as well as the people beneath her. As Digi had just described, she is perfectly conformed to the rules of her society and is completely able to play by those rules. However, that is a lot of speculation, and not much is actually done to show her competency at this, so it is understandable if it seems unbelievable that she is competent in these regards.
However, in the poker faceoff to determine the next king, you have to consider that she is probably extremely flustered to be thrust in a position where it seems like winning is left up to mere chance, and she has seemingly no way to manipulate the outcome of the tournament. This is something that Sora and Shiro are easily able to see past from the outset. Furthermore, when facing off against Sora and Shiro, they easily trounce her because their way of thinking about the world is just expanded on such a level that Steph is currently unable to comprehend, given the way she was raised and has learned to operate.
So it's not really that Stephanie is simultaneously highly intelligent and capable yet simultaneously a bad liar, it's just that she and [ ] are fundamentally on different levels that Steph can't even begin to approach (yes, she's completely out of their league). The fact that the show also tries to normalize [ ]'s ridiculous god-tier intelligence in order to fulfill that otaku "I'm totally like/want that" fantasy makes it all the less obvious that Steph is actually an extremely qualified individual, much like how Rick's intelligence in Rick and Morty is portrayed as a standard so that tweens around the world can think "fuck man, yeah i'm totally a Rick in a sea of Morties", when really Rick is in fact, supremely exceptional, and most of the people in the show are fairly normal or perhaps even upstanding people in their everyday lives. The show goes out of their way to showcase their dysfuctional behaviors because that is what makes for a good and entertaining show.
There's actually a scene in the light novels if I recall correctly that I Ino points out to her that she is infact very skilled at games, she's only unskilled when it comes to being compared to the rest of team [ ](particularly Sora and Shiro). He then points out how easily she beats the various lords who she tried to get in line so easily.
As a side note, just consider where we meet Steph, in the tournament to become the next king, a day maybe 2 from when the winner will be crowned, against the person who inevitably wins, by cheating. Sounds like she probably made it pretty far into the tournament to me
To be fair the jokes were worth it
Yes.... that's the joke
I think "rationality" is a more accurate term than "rationale" in the context where you're using it.
+Mikky Z Words and how they're used are important though.
@ApocalypseCracker TwittGod people use the language to understand each other, if you as a creator use wrong words your audience can interpreter your message wrong. Nobody wants that.
There are many JoJo references in this series, so that's also a plus

started from the zero now re: here
classic digibro pulp meets comparative mythology? yeah, baby, i'll buy it. gonzo joseph campbell is in town, and he's updated folkloric readings for the fringe generation.
Kim Poirier What in the mother of god are you taking about? This anime has nothing to do with mythology. Oh wait, Tet is the god of this world so that’s actually Christian Mythology. Whatever!!!
not to be insanely pedantic, but digibro's template is (pretty obviously) an otaku-age reinterpretation of narratology theories first described by the late author and historian joseph campbell. you can literally just google 'the hero's journey' and learn all about the terms i described above.
or not, whatever. but digi knows what i'm on about, and that's enough.
NGNL isn't really a hero's journey either. In the regular hero's journey there is a call to adventure, and the hero gets help on his journey from others, but that is where the similarities end with NGNL, as far as I know. The heroes are supposed to be challenged and changed as a result. Perhaps that happens in the future, but as it stands, it's an odd thing to compare NGNL to. Especially since Blank are mentor figures in that story, showing everyone else how their world works. Well, if that is the case, then the hero's journey story needs a hero.
The Otaku Hero's Journey might be different but he doesn't really explain how, he just goes with the idea and couches social commentary into it. I can't say I came away agreeing with his point lol.
whiteflagstoo Yeah, it’s a story about a complete disfunctional lunatic who literally spends his life playing video games all day and lives in a big house with only sister making you question why he’s able to live without any parents or having to pay for the bills because that’s how the government works and then gets sucked into this magical world where he literally just decides to become the god for no reason at all with no motivation as to why. He’s also disrespectful to women treating them like animals and objects and then shows his pure idiot side saying that he wants to be a girl and then takes it back when Jibril said that she wouldn’t be able to turn him back into a human and nobody ever points out how stupid Sora is and we’re supposed to believe that he is actually very intelligent. It’s all just a tangled together mess that creates events that happen for no reason, doesn’t explain what’s going on, and then just leaves you there with tons of gaping plot holes because nobody really cares about storytelling and characters because apparently that’s all just nitpicking. No Game No Life is a piece of garbage that needs to be eradicated from this world!!!
Kim Poirier You don’t even know the level of depth I could completely outdo Digibro in both videos in a quarter of l the time
*Time to rewatch No Game No Life and cry about the lack of a sequel just like 4 years ago all over again*
this video has convinced me that despite my collection of gunpla, despite my collection of anime, and despite my constant anime binging, I am not an otaku. I have been passionate about anime for more than 20 years, but I have never, not even once, looked at my appreciation for anime as some sort of significant counter-culture statement. I have trouble fitting in with social norms but those difficulties have nothing to do with my love for anime, nor are they the cause for me falling in love with anime. But that certainly doesn't make me a "normie", I couldn't mesh with societal norms even if you offered me a million bucks if i tried.
For me it's the other way around. I have no problems with society and fitting in but I hate the western shows everybody around me watches. So for me anime and the otaku culture are very much to rebel against my family and my highschool friends, who see nothing of worth in anime and only care about GoT and the likes. Luckily my current best friend(s) is(are) just as much into otaku-culture as I am.
FrozenBender which is just more evidence that Digibro didn't feel this topic was worth researching. There are plenty of people like you and me
(us as in people that dont fit into Digi's assessment)
"I have trouble fitting in with societal norms"
"I couldn't mesh with societal norms even if you offered me a million bucks if I tried"
I don't understand how you can't see it
BaileyZKerr m8 he's a long lost soul, f to all those that watch shit like this and fully believe in it
The Brazil thing flew over my head a bit, and I'm Brazillian so I feel extra stupid.
being a brazilian otaku in japan makes him more outcasted than a japanese otaku in japan, especially with japan's relative xenophobia against non-japanese even while considering the closer connection that the japanese and brazilians have
This concept is both clever and goofy. Digi's a great writer; if most others in Anitube had done this, it would have come off as so much more incredibly self-serving than what it currently is. I think it succeeds in removing itself from the fact that this video is being made for and by otaku and analyzing it as any other allegorical/trope-driven shows. Definitely looking forward to wherever this may go (maybe, maybe the start of some nomenclature among other analysts in the future?).
Oh, and Digi. Do you actually put more than 50% confidence on the Simulation Hypothesis?
Ugh
think about it like this, if one day in the very far future it is possible for us to run a simulation on par with our current world. then in such a future there would inevitably be more simulations than one, and if these simulation are on par with our current reality they would also have simulations within those simulations. This means that there are exponentially more simulations than non simulations so there is at least a 99% chance we are in a simulation
what the fuck
Kinbok This assumes that it would ever be possible to simulate our reality with the current fidelity it has.
Even the best theoretical most efficient computer we could create in our universe wouldn't be able to simulate itself; the computer would need to at bare minimum be many times larger than the Earth, and possibly larger than the observable universe.
Since accurate simulations are so computationally expensive, either this isn't a simulation, or this is a low-fidelity simulation. It's probably not low-fidelity because of all the scientific experiments humanity has done being super computationally expensive, but maybe none of those ever happened and the simulation only exists around you. imo this is super self-centered and kinda unlikely.
If in the future we do end up making completely accurate simulations, then we likely wouldn't bother or be capable of making too many of them, so there's still pretty good odds that we're not in a simulation.
The Last Scoot You are extremely narrow in your thinking and imaginations.
You assume that this isn't a low fidelity simulation simply because it _looks_ complicated to you in your frame of understanding. Why do you imagine that this simulation would be an exact simulation of the world it is simulated in? What if we actually come from a world full of slime people, billions of years of technology above ours, and this current world is a videogame of some fictional world that's popular at the time. What if the laws of physics are different in that world, or they have found ways to simulate universes on a computer the size of a fingernail?
You are making assumptions based on your own extremely limited understanding of not only our universe and its potential, but every possible hypothetical universe that could exist.
Having said that, giving our current knowledge, whether or not we are in a simulation is completely unknown to us, so people throwing out figures like 99% or 1% are only just that, nigh-meaningless guesses.
Might be worth mentioning that the "Mad Scientist" and "Living Computer" paradigm is literally as old as novels themselves as it's born of Don Quixote (The Mad Scientist) and his partner, Sancho Panza (The Living Computer, mostly in personality). Take for example Zap Brannigan and Kiff in Futurama as another permutation of this. This paradigm can be found throughout history for comical effect in the funnyman and the straightman.

I'm all the things you described about not understanding society or how it works, except I have no intelligence, don't understand anything, am a walking social disaster (literally no one ever wants to hear me talk about anything, or talk period), I hate my family, my friends, or lack thereof, and people in general. The only thing I'm good at is Overwatch, and I'm not even good at it. I hate who I am, what I'm limited to being because of my upbringing, unseen invisible things that control my every thought, emotion and feeling. I feel like I've lived my whole life in a cube or cage, unable to ever be free and move outside of it, only able to squirm and helplessly flail inside it. No game no life is my favorite anime-it constantly makes me cry, fills me with excitement, and hope. I'm really glad you did a video on this and put into words things I was only vaguely (or not at all) aware of.
Just seeing this comment, something about it resonates with me. Write out your thoughts and put them up online on a blog or something and I'll read the fuck outta that shit.

Only Digi can make me watch a 20 min commentary video about an anime I never heard about (and couldn't care less) before, and make me wanna add it to my watchlist by the end of it.
Digi, I think you've found the kind of content your audience absolutely wants. God tier video.
I'm so glad you posted your no game no life video on my 21 birthday. I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on it for years. Great video, here's a beer for you, buddy.
"Can only relate to others through art" *Can Relate*
I'm not a fan of No Game No Life, but my favorite part of it (besides the opening) was the protagonists turning "Steph" into an adjective. As cruel their bullying of Steph is, this managed to crack me up every time and I was glad to hear you continue the joke in this video.

This was one of the GREATEST Isekai video game anime's and yet no one mentions it. It's always Sword Art Online, Overlord, and to a lesser extent Log Horizon. Yet!... No one ever mentions this anime along with the others in main stream... Why???
I personally think it's near the same level of dislike I have for sword art online(just because of the animation) it's just that people like shitting on sword art online more and more people like no game no life for some reason, so no I don't think it should get that much recognition. Also many people know of it, so how is it never mentioned?
Yeah I agree. by far the best isekai i have ever seen and its definitely onr of my favourite animes of all time
Because it's fucking dead, that's why. It came in and left quicker then a lower class black father. Eventually people who watched it just kinda forgot about it due to it's none existent relevancy and those who disliked it/were neutral had no reason to care about it in the first place.
@@ChrisChoi123 I will not take Alice in Wonderland slander
@@plipplop1769 You have garbage taste if you think ngnl has bad animation, same for SAO although not to the same degree. SAO, for all its problems, is a well drawn and animated show. NGNL is outright gorgeous and one of the best shows I've seen visually to date.
I doubt it. It's already one of the deepest, most inspiring stories I know.
Digi, you spoil me with this every-day-a-new-video thing. Now I want you to produce even more content.
I loved how the movie was a complete contrast from the Anime. It made me feel way more invested when I rewatched it and gave me a much more satisfying experience.
I'm living for this frequent uploading 😍
The No Game No Life Weiss Schwarz set just came out last week so this is like perfect timing haha
This was gopd, really good, and now I finally have words for so many things I just couldnt put a finger on ... Thanks a lot
This show wasn't to my taste when I saw it a few years ago, but I can respect your points here, and I appreciate the high effort on the video, because I really might go back and rewatch it now. Good luck with all the videos this month and shit in general lately
Am I the only one that really loves NGNL Zero? I even bought the collector's edition of the movie and it makes me cry my eyes out at the movie theater....
I'm so happy Digi thought No Game No Life is good! It felt like something so fresh and unique when I first saw the first season. Hope there will be a second season soon ...
Goddanmit, another addition to the ever expanding list of media I need to consume that I'll never have time for
I heard somewhere that there isn't going to be a second season because the artist is facing a copyright lawsuit.

Honestly, no game no life takes the concept of cleverness and charisma to an extreme. The most intelligent anime I've ever watched and it's one show that's come closer to what i personally consider 'perfect' than most.
I think I'll give this show another shot after hearing all this.
Actually, Elon Musk does not necassarly think we are in a simulation. Only that, if it was physicly possible to create a simulation like that, it would be exponetialy more likely that that would be the case.
Thanks for clarification, Mr. Elon Musk.
TheStarColt __ We made The Sims. It should be enough proof.
@@Gnidel The problem with simulation theory is infinite regression. No matter what reality you find yourself in it would still likely just be a "simulation". However, in order for there to have ever been a simulation, a form of base reality necessarily exists. Using Occam's Razor you can thoroughly dismiss this problem, as infinite regression is also infinite complexity.

Digibro, It's been awhile since I last saw the No Game No Life movie, but from I remember of the movie it was set in a world before Tet took over, so it was very possible for the Anonymous to die, which seems to contradict your statement at 17:30 about not having to worry about death for your team.
13:23 I find that not true for my case, which would be relatable for No Game No Life. Undergone maternal neglect and abuse together, we understand each other and share the most sympathy.
With that being said, abuse takes many forms and there are too many variables. All I want to say is that the closure between them in No Game No Life has a logical explanation.
man, I wish my non-existent imouto & I were neglected & abused so that we could grow that close
Hey digi the sound effects brings impact and makes it feel like a epic game
12:50 (me, as a brazilian) "FU** YEAH!!!! BRAZIL ROCKS!!!!!!" i'm so proud T-T"
damn i agree with literally everything that was said in the 19 minutes 49 seconds that this video lasted. that is precisely why i consider this anime a 10/10. I love this anime so much that it was the first time i went out of my way to get the light novels because i couldnt bear not knowing what happens next. also, this anime referenced both steins;gate AND jojo, some of my favourite animes of all time. theres no denying that this anime is anything short of fantastic
The simulation hypothesis comes about because the universe is supposedly quantized, at Planck scales, or an incredibly short distance. We know light is quantized, since Max Planck and Albert Einstein mathematically figured this out over 100 years ago. And video games are quantized - to much higher scales - Minecraft is quantized in 1 meter cubes and 1/10th of a second ticks, so our Universe could be seen as just a finer quantization of Minecraft.
when you said something like "in case we eventually penetrate the 4th dimension, we are likely to just join races of beings that are trying the same with the 5th one" i kinda compared that to the sao dungeon, just with endless layers :D
Ah... Big Words!... Gotta watch this video while playing the main ost just to feel smart af
That nice, great video as always. Again giving me some new perspectivies on a series I already enjoy
Phenomenal video!
Indeed. No game no life and it's lore and message.
I. _Love._ Aketagawa Jin's sound design. It is partially because it's extremely bassy and conspicuous which gives a lot of oomph to everything, but it's more than that. It's that something as simple as an edit can be given the most epic sound effect in the world. Remember when AVGN said that the great thing about Atari is that something as simple as going through a door is an Event? That is Aketagawa Jin to me. He can enhance anything.
Why does it sound stock? I don't know, maybe because he's worked on so many shows by this point and his sound is so distinctive that if you've heard him more than twice, yeah, you're gonna know what he's about. He's like the Hanazawa Kana of sound design.
Bit of a mistake here: Tet didn't just "suddenly realize" how to improve things, rather he wasn't initially in control... but at the same time, he didn't care to play the game everyone else was when "control" was being contested. And just like nuclear war, "not playing" turned out to be the only winning move.
The reason is to test what is ultimately more powerful in reality, truth or lies.
this is like if that kid from i am a gamer was a weeb
Before I've seen this video, I probably would've never watched "No Game No Life".
The NGNL Zero movie was just a big bruh moment tbh
God you're good at this.
HOLY SH!T! Why doesn't this have a second season. I just stayed up all night watching the first season. It literally ended on a god tier cliffhanger. To find out this show has been out since 2014. This show deserves a second season. But what am I saying there are a lot of shows out there that deserve a second season. But feel like this show has no ended. It would be nice for it to have a movie at least giving it an ending.
Or you know, we got into it because we liked the cool art styles, flashy combat scenes and adult like plots in an animated medium...
"Yggdrasil's Piano" will never be as good as "I Wrote this Light Novel in Like a Day, it Sucks and I Hate, but if it Gets a Anime I'll Act Like it was a Work of Genius"

You don’t even know the level of depth I could completely go for NO GAME NO LIFE without the waifu
So basically, if something has a society (which every living thing has to have because that’s just the way all living life operates), it’s best chance of all life in that society to be happy is for all the life in that society to die. Or for society for life to not exist, but that’s impossible because, again, *that’s just how brains work*

"The release date for No Game No Life Season 2 is highly anticipated, especially now that anime studio Madhouse is starting to make a name for making anime sequels. The No Game No Life: Zero movie provided a prequel story that just wet fans’ appetites for watching more of Shiro and Sora’s main adventure. But why is Madhouse being such a Steph by making fans wait for the Ngnl anime sequel?" - IMDb
I just realized that no game no life and dorei-ku the animation are basicly the same anime with different displays of human nature. No game no life is about the possibility of being extraordinary and utterly destroing every possibility of having a problem while dorei ku is the other side of the coin, the possibility to turning yourself in to the worst person you can be. Both of them use a system that simplifies the method to which these extremes can be achieved. Its interesting to think that if i had no moral compass whatsoever i could even compare them further, not really diferentiating the consequences of starting a game in both universes. That tangent aside its also interesting if you consider that no game no life presents you the result of the mind you have when youre a child (stereotypically speaking) in which everything is possible and bubbly and everything looks beautiful and the darkness of the world doesnt exist while dorei ku seems to have the typical disilusion that comes with aging.
You ever think about the fact that we dont have different adjectives for people that are in different stages of their adulthood? Think about it from somewhere around your late 20's to your late 50's youre just an adult and the different decades that encompass that age gap are as different as childhood and teenage years.
Sorry this has always been in my mind and i never had the context to introduce this in a conversation
P.s: sorry for this trainwreck of a comment, i didnt really plan what i was going to say when i started writing so i just rambled on
we need s2 of "no game no life" and "the problem children are coming from another world aren't they?". sora and shiro playing against a former god is going to be be ultra hype. as would izayoi,asuka,and you vs the next demon lord.

Sora & Shiro's interaction with knowledge reminds me of Kyousuke & Kirino, the latter pair have a different issue with it that the anime didn't fully reveal.
I just realised I was planning a story with a Living Computer and I was missing my Mad Scientist.
Like sora and shiro.
I'm 14 and this is deep.
Like, I do like your videos, but... I don't think I can really take this one seriously.
As someone who really enjoys ngnl but isn't into otaku culture that much, I would really have liked some other examples of these archetypes you've been mentioning. It is quite interesting to hear how these characters are all fairly standard archetypes, and while I can probably think of a couple like each other them, I don't think I've watched or read any other story that had this philosophical structure using all of them that you mention is common. I think I would understand it better if I heard some examples
Just finished this after putting it off for so long
That’s... not how dimensions work
Lain Lain Dimensions are not alternate or parallel universes, or strange foreign realms that be accessed. They're just directions you can travel. That is literally all they are. The third dimension is just at a right angle from the second, and the fourth dimension is just the direction that is a right angle from the third. They obviously have crazy implications in physics and mathematics that make them a little more complicated than that, but fundamentally, it makes no sense to "travel" to another dimension. You're already inside it. Just as there is no "second dimension" that exists as some parallel universe to our own, but rather every second dimensional plane must exist as a cross section of some 3-dimensional space, no 3-dimensional space exists separately from the 4th dimension. Every moment in the third dimension is a cross section of a fourth dimensional space.
Same, there's some videos out there about higher dimensions that make big claims off of (scientifically) fictitious arguments. aka: where's my proofs man, some do bring math, some bring lesser-leaps in potentiality and some bring strait fantasy.
But then again, if considering their (higher dimensions') potentiality as an actual possibility, compared to our current view they can literally be defined as "strange foreign realms" as well as "parallel(metaphorically) perspectives of reality". So... no, that is actually a valid way to conceptualize higher dimensions as there is zero proofs for them. lmao.
And before you answer let me say, "that's not proof". Putting out more hypotheticals can never prove anything ;/. and I do believe in the large majority of "our" recent scientific perspectives, of the ones I am aware of.
ps: yea I know about 4th dimensional implementation as a concept inside of 3-d games to overcome gimbal lock. But that is a simulation, not reality.
dddmemaybe I'm really struggling to parse what you've written. Best I can tell your point is that you think that I'm wrong and that you can use the word dimension like that? No idea. You need to tidy up your writing style. If I understood your point, then we are arguing semantics, as you are advocating for its colloquial use, and I expect a writer like Digi, who dreams of being a great analyst, to use technical words correctly to ensure maximum communication efficiency. Either he was using the colloquial definition space, which is disappointing and not a precedent that works in favour of his growth as a writer and analyst, or he doesn't understand what the word dimension means and shouldn't have used it.
As to the gimbal lock thing. This is a concept called quaternions, which are a more complete way of describing rotations in 3D space. Ordinarily in linear algebra, one uses some of the U(3) group of transformations to describe rotations. There is a symmetry of the group which causes gimbal lock by aligning rotation directions. Quaternions are 4×4 matrices which form a truly complete description of rotation in 3D space - they use 4 numbers to accomplish this. This use of 4 numbers is analogous to 4 spatial dimensions, but that is only a surface level assessment and in truth they are much more closely related to the complex plane. To explain requires an understanding of complex exponentials: if you have an axis of real numbers as the X axis and an axis of imaginary numbers (multiples of i) as the Y axis, multiplying by i is precisely equivalent to a counterclockwise rotation by π/2 radians (90°) from the real axis to the imaginary axis. This is described by e^iθ using θ=π/2. This is also the origin of e^iπ + 1 = 0, as e^iπ is two counterclockwise rotations of 90° from 1 about the origin, ending up at -1. This same principle is extended to the other two additional numbers, j and k, and these three plus the real axis can fully describe rotations in 3D space without gimbal lock. I recall you begin needing absurd amounts of these additional axes to fully describe rotations in 4 or higher dimensional mathematical spaces, but I don't have a source close at hand, and it is trivially googleable if you aren't on a phone.
HopperDragon Not to mention anything above the 3rd dimension is just pure speculation. People say the 4th dimension is "time" but we don't even know for sure if having width or length in time is even possible. It's purely a thought experiment.
+Hunter Stiles As Strober noted, you simply have a width, a length, and a volume as you move around and change with age; so does every other object. Movement hinges on time because you were probably in bed this morning but then you got up and went to the bathroom at some point. You weren't physically in bed and standing right next to the toilet at the same time (unless you have a really weird house.)

Amazing video bro
I actually just watched the movie last night. Definitely agree that it was not as good as the main show, though I think it was more a matter of trying to condense what seemed like an entire season of a show into an hour-forty movie, rather than because of it beating the audience over the head with its message.
