We learned just about a month ago that there will be a new anime feature film for No Game No Life that will follow up the TV series that debuted back in the spring 2014 season. While we’ve got a bit to go until that actually hits, Kadokawa has brought out a pair of TV spots to promote the announcement of the feature film as well as the upcoming ninth volume of the novel series that’s scheduled to land on August 25th, 2016.
The theatrical anime feature that will work to adapt the sixth volume of the light novel series. That novel is already scheduled for release from Yen Press with a planned January 24th, 2017 release date. The premise for it is, “One fateful day, the One True God Tet collapsed from hunger in the back alleys of Elche, only to be saved by Izuna. Tet recounts a story from 6000 years ago, about the Great War” that divided the heavens and tore the earth asunder. About the man who challenged the world and the girl who stayed by his side.”
No date has been set for the theatrical anime feature.
The TV series anime adaptation came 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Bored with life and considering it in the real world to be just a “crappy game,” savvy siblings Sora and Shiro have withdrawn into their own fantasy world filled with video games.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?
