No Game No Life is a superior anime to Death Parade

There are many reasons why no game no life is ranked higher than Death Parade as can be seen from my links, and also why NGNL is a superior show.Cleverness What makes a show good? Cleverness. People need to think, it shows that the show is complex, and also triggers the brain, stimulating a challenge and also making the show more entertaining. No Game No Life has many clever solutions, that are mostly unexpected, and combined with the interesting and unique games, makes it superior to Death Parade. For example, let's take the first "clever game" that the main characters play in NGNL. In the first youtube video, beginning from around 3 minutes, our main character plays Rock-paper-scissors against a girl, with the twist that he can only win with paper. It is clever because he didn't plan to win at all; he had planned to tie from the beginning, with his incredibly vague request that allowed him to practically let the girl become his slave! Another example is when our main characters are yet again playing a game, this time Chess, which the sister is unsurprisingly, incredibly skilled at. However, things go awry when she attempts to make sacrifices--the chess pieces are actually alive! They are unwilling to move into a place where they know they will be killed; in contrast to the opponent using magic to forcibly move their soldiers and playing an advantageous position. Luckily, the brother steps in once more, using his leadership ability, speaking encouraging words to the soldiers, and even convincing their queen that the opponent was immoral in forcing them to become slaves, thus turning the tides. Of course, these are only two examples, but I believe I had made my point. No Game No Life is a clever anime/show overall. Death Parade has none of this cleverness, because the people who play the games have no memory of their life, and are forced to play to allow the arbiters to judge whether they go to heaven or hell.Comedy factorComedy is crucial in a show or anime. Serious animes can be of course very good as well, however, comedy is an advantage here because it allows for relief, and as a result, even stronger suspence in contrast to the serious moments of the show. It allows people to laugh and enjoy the plot. No Game No Life has many attributes of comedy within it. For example, right after that serious game of rock-paper-scissors, Shiro demands that the girl "fall in love with him".This is the result: s://koekara.files.wordpress.com...; alt="" width="699" height="398" />As a result, we get a start of a recurring joke of Steph inevitably falling in love with Shiro, and disliking her rash actions when she sees Shiro as a handsome man. This is quite funny, and pushes on the plot easily along with the mystery and games. There is even at one point where this joke is technically used as a solution--within a life-threatening game in which memories of Shiro were lost in his sister Sora, and Steph was made to believe that she had been made to fall in love with Sora instead of Shiro. Which leads to this hilarious moment: As you can see, the comedy is very entertaining, as well as a good plot device. In contrast, death parade has nearly no comedy. Where's the comedy? Where's the funniness? It isn't as entertaining as No Game No Life, clearly!With a combination of cleverness and comedy, No Game No Life deserves to win. It is truly better than Death Parade.http://www.youtube.com...
