I want to try to binge a few episodes of this in bed tonight since I injured my knee really bad and can't walk for the next few weeks, I wanted to know if this anime is actually worth it or if it's just from overwhelming fame. But, I honestly doubt if it's bad, but would still want to know your opinions.

It's average. It's only worth watching for the girls and the pretty visuals imo.

I was like 14 when I watched it and 14 years old me would definitely give it a 10. I can't say it's good but it's really entertaining at least.

It's very entertaining so I recommend it if you have no problem with fan service

It was interesting and had some good comedy but I would say it's an overrated show, but was a good watch

Yeah it's worth the hype if you love smart persons . The most attractive quality is the smartness of the both main lead.

I remember it being the first isekai I've ever watched. Quite liked it. I still do. It has some good laughs. Except the incest loli shit, that's damn horrendous.

If u like smart chars then it's the thing for u... don't listen to these guys ...watch at least until 4-5 ep ...before thinking about dropping
But imo it's a masterpiece
Blah blah blah blah .... So annoying. Are you bastards in heat or something?

For me it’s my favorite anime not because all of the fanservice I really didn’t need that much but because of these fights. I mean just watch the chess game or the game against the angel that was legendary af I had goosebumps every episode I never experienced such joy in sth fictional. For me this is the perfect story with perfect characters, perfect music, perfect world building. There is nothing this anime could do better out of their story (except less fanservice and A SECOND SEASON WOULD BE GREAT). I really enjoyed it and I definitely recommend it to you.

Well worth the watch at least once, cute girls and pretty smart story building and it’ll leave you yearning for more (which hasn’t and probably won’t come out). Definitely worth one watch.

To sum it up, it's a Fanservice Isekai Shōnen with "smart" MC.

Personally, it is Mid (7 out of 10).

This is actually a hard question. I really enjoyed NGNL a lot, but for some reason, my mind says I didn't so it's an 8. But I think it was actually an amazing anime. Maybe I should rate it a 10. I don't remember any flaws.

It have gorgeous animation especially if you like neon colors ( purple,indigo etc) fan service is kinda way more then needed I will say you may will skip some fan service sceans as I did I don't hate fan service but it overdone it and if you like intelligent animes like death note and code geass then it is a perfect treat

It's definitely a binge watch show you can even finish in 4 hours or so. Loved it so much. But it's not an anime that can be rewatched in my opinion. So, experience it in a one go.

I love this show. The games are so creative and fun, the characters are great, and the artstyle is really cool. If it didn’t have loli fanservice I would give it a 10.

It was okay. I actually prefered Mondaiji over this. What really bothered me with NGNL was the limited the perspective of the show. They literally go to another world where everything is dealt with via games and you barely see anything of the world, the people and the impact this has on how their society functions.

I mean if you come into a new world - wouldn't you want to see something of the world?

And the other thing was that a lot of what's played off as comedy in the show comes off as pretty mean-sprited especially concerning how they treat Stephanie - which makes the two main characters somewhat unlikable for me.

It comes off as overrated because of the cringe ass no S2 memes people can't stop laughing at.
Aside from that, it's a decent watch.

I haven't watched it but I heard it has got a HUGE amount of fanservice so I suggest you to watch something Moe like K-on.

It depends on your own views, but I personally think it's one of the best out there.

Yeah pretty much this.

Watching the movie made me appreciate the anime more.

Objectively it is not a great show. However, from a purely entertainment point of view, I must say that it is one of the best shows I've watched.(in my opinion, of course)

It's not the best anime in the world, but it's really good for summer. Not serious at all, really light. When i watched it some years ago i thought was a masterpiece, but it's not. It would not change your life, but i recommend you to watch it anyway, it's interesting

It’s definitely worth the watch and is good. Art is dope. Feel like NGNL has a unique style. Plus sorra and shiro are both smart and kickass. Never a dull moment. Movie sucked tho.

"Actually really good" means nothing because I don't really know what you like, you should watch it for yourself and drop it if it becomes worse.

No it’s not. Unless you are into fan service of 11 year old sisters. And their smartness basically boils down to plot convenience so really nothing special about this anime.

It’s okay the art/animation is rlly beautiful but I’m not a fan of the fan service (also the fact that they sexualize a 11? Year old girl just makes me uncomfortable)
