Episode 1:

I really could have done without the panty shots of an 11 year old girl but at least it was brief and not overly gratuitous. Maybe it is just me but the pacing seemed to be quite jarring as well. But I suppose they wanted to quickly shove the characters into the game world in order to get the story moving along. Nothing has grabbed me about the characters yet, but it is only one episode of course. I really like the themes at play here though and the game world seems to be a unique and intriguing setting. This anime has promise and I look forward to watching the next episode.

So, finally, I made my mind to start watching No Game No Life in response to having watched the prequel film beforehand around nine months ago. However, I do want to enjoy the experience with this anime without having to cling to movie, so I'll try to keep comparisons in-between both materials to a minimum.

For starters, to me this is a breath of brand-new, fresh air for someone who is acquainted with game anime such as the likes of Yu-Gi-Oh! (TOEI show, Duel Monsters, and GX) and Duel Masters.
The point around the whole show's premise is how to make the most fun out of the gambling experiences in the games. It isn't much about Shiro and her onii-chan winning every game and bout, but on how they exert their creativity at coming-up with original tactics and solutions given now that Tet has granted both of them all the creative freedom their NEET hearts could crave by transporting them from Earth into Disboard.
In addition, the gist if I'm attempting to discern Shiro and Sora's gameplay is at getting their opponents to react in a manner both step-siblings want their enemies playing right into their gaming world.

Although I'll be put off by the fanservice for a while particularly Shiro's, I can hope to grow out of such icky feelings by the time the real games at Disboard begin to get serious with the bets hoping that the story gets good as soon as possible.
