This package, titled “No Game No Life COMPLETE Blu-ray BOX” includes the aforementioned, plus the six short episodes of the OVA, a CD with some radio programs from the franchise, promotional videos for both the series and the film, the opening and closing sequences of the series. Even “new” bonus images are listed depending on the store from which you purchase the package, so this ad is a complete disappointment for an occasion as big as a 10th anniversary.

Synopsis of No Game No Life
No Game No Life is a surreal comedy that follows Sora and Shiro, hikikomori brothers and the online gaming duo behind the legendary username “Blank.” They see the real world as just another lousy game; However, a strange email challenging them to a game of chess changes everything: the brother and sister are plunged into an otherworldly realm where they encounter Tet, the god of games.
The mysterious god welcomes Sora and Shiro to Disboard, a world where all forms of conflict, from small disputes to the fate of entire countries, are resolved not through war, but through high-stakes games. This system works thanks to a fundamental rule in which each party must bet something that they consider to be of equal value to the other party’s bet. In this strange land where the very idea of humanity is reduced to child’s play, the genius and indifferent duo Sora and Shiro have finally found a real reason to keep playing: unite the sixteen races of Disboard, defeat Tet and become the gods of this new world where games are everything.
