[97] Seven Seas Entertainment's localization of the manga was able to reach The New York Times Manga Best Sellers and ICv2's charts. [98][99] The anime series saw similar success and its home media made appearances on Oricon's weekly selling charts. [100][101] In April 2014, No Game No Life was one of the top recorded anime series on Sony's Torne;[102] a poll by AT-X ranked the series as one of 2014's top anime series. [103] Anime News Network had four editors review the first episode of the anime: Carl Kiminger, Rebecca Silverman, Theoron Martin, and Hope Chapman. [104] Opinions summarized: Kimlinger enjoyed the premise and the concepts of games as battles; Silverman and Martin disliked the characters; and Chapman expressed absolute disdain, writing "nothing has made me roll my eyes, gag, or feel more irrationally angry this season than this insulting self-insert pandering trash heap". Carl Kimlinger
continued the series, and published a positive review for the anime. [105] He wrote that the premise presented many flaws but were balanced out by other aspects: Sora and Shiro's "over-powered hero" archetype is balanced out by their flawed lifestyles, motives, and their "visible delight in crushing their enemies"; Stephanie Dola's mistreatment with gags and Sora and Shiro's growing respect towards her; and the harem aspect with Sora's apathy and interesting female characters. Regardless, Kimlinger praised the plot's "big games", calling them the reason to watch the series and
described them as "steeped in trickery and strategy"; he added that despite knowing the protagonists would win, the fun is seeing how they do it. Kimlinger wrote the over-saturation art style will be an acquired taste for most viewers and praised how the animation really shines during the "big games", calling it an impressive display of fluidity and timing. [105] Kotaku's Richard Eisenbeis was also positive towards the series, praising the protagonists' dynamic, echoed Kimlinger's sentiments about the games, liked the animation, but noted his dislike for fan service featuring Shiro. [106] He also ranked the series as one of the top five anime series of 2014, and recommended it for viewers who like
smart characters and gamer humor.

Shizuka Mikazuki (三日月 閑, Mikazuki Shizuka) Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki[6] (Japanese); Abby Trott[4] (English) Portrayed by: Mai Shiraishi[7] Shizuka is a young woman who used to work as a high-profile
accountant (flight attendant in the live-action film, due to being composited with Yukari). She used to be in a very similar situation to Akira's work life, except it came at the hands of her father who controlled every aspect of her life. As a result, Shizuka grew into a reserved, overly-logical person with little to no care about her personal enjoyment of things. During the zombie apocalypse, this was only exacerbated as Shizuka became laser-focused on surviving, using her incredible
resourcefulness to her advantage, but also not taking the time to mingle with other survivors. After several chance encounters with Akira and Kencho, she reluctantly joins them when they offer to take her in their RV, as she does not know how to drive. However, she slowly starts to open up to them and becomes inspired by their desire to live life to the fullest, eventually leading her and Akira to fall in love and start dating.
