Shows that feel likeNo Game No Life (2014)

Bored with life and considering the real world to be just a “crappy game,” savvy sibling shut-ins Sora and Shiro have withdrawn into their own fantasy world filled with video games. However, one day they find themselves summoned to another world by a boy who calls himself “God,” their abilities are about to be put to the ultimate test! Now not only their fates — but the fate of all of humanity — will be decided by a series of games that may just be the hardest these super-geniuses have ever faced!

If you loved No Game No Life, the closest series we have are That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (2018), KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! (2016) and Fairy Tail (2009). All three share No Game No Life's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The God of High School (2020).
