Add another place that you can watch the spring simulcast series No Game No Life as it’s now beginning its run on Hulu, thanks to an agreement between them and The Anime Network, who is handling the digital distribution side for licensor Sentai Filmworks. The release is a few weeks behind the simulcast itself but it offers a commercial supported location for people to check out the series for free, which can build more of an audience and give it a better chance of getting a dub. The show is also available for Hulu Plus members to stream directly to their TV app or various digital devices.
The anime adaptation comes from original creator Yuu Kamiya and is directed by Atsuko Ishizuka (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, NANA) with series composition by Jukki Hanada (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!, Beyond the Boundary), art direction by Eiji Iwase (Campione!, Divergence Eve) and animation production by Madhouse Studios (Highschool of the Dead, BTOOOM!).
Plot concept: Bored with life and considering it in the real world to be just a “crappy game,” savvy siblings Sora and Shiro have withdrawn into their own fantasy world filled with video games. It is because of this that they are summoned to another world by a boy calling himself “God.” It’s here in this world where Sora and Shiro’s abilities are put to the test. They are now in a world where their fate – and the fate of all humanity – is decided by game. Can they beat the hardest game they’ve ever played?
