Review of No Game, No Life: Zero

----~No Game No Life: Zero (ノーゲーム・ノーライフ ゼロ)~---- Now as one of the people who got to see this premier at the Los Angeles Anime Film Festival back in September, I feel obligated to review this anime movie. Mostly cause I met Scott and Caitlyn and delayed the movie showing by 10 minutes.. Yeah Story~ The story is amazing and one of the most original stories I have ever seen.Thought I feel it would have been better if it was its own series like a "NGNL Season Zero" That would have been cool! But even when the movie is 2 hours long it feels like you have beenwith the MCs for a long time, like as if the series never ended but continued after season one. So for me the story is brilliant!

Art~
The Animation is just gorgeous, probably a little better than Kimi No Na Wa! (Your Name)
I have never seen Anime use CGI in a way that makes sense and makes you feel one with the setting all at once without making the anime look like it was rushed and blocky. Of course granted the budget was very high so that would make sense.

Sound~
The sound is amazing! Granted I saw the English Dub Premier in LA so I cant judge the Sub. But the dub is one of the best I have ever seen! The character voices match the personalities of our heroines beautifully! The sound effects are very nice and are crystal clear!

Characters~
The characters though a bit rushed in development (As in there was A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT)
The characters relationships grew as it should. They were beautifully articulated and did not pop out of the screen as if they were animated with the background animation which is kinda hard find!Overall character designs were nice and overall it was an okay but still worth it!

Overall Enjoyment!
I enjoyed it! The comedy is golden and the NGNL feel is still there and the drama and *romance?* brought everyone to tears! It really is a lot more better than any anime film up to date with the high budget and the hype that we have waited for three years makes the wait worth it!

So with that, ASCHENTE!
