Nanana episode 1: Interesting premise, sounds like a lot of fun, with some serious plot on the backburner. Characters seem pretty good so far, including the main character.
Also, dat Terraria:

No Game, No Life episode 1: Fairly interesting, I like how the characters are good at games through skill and know-how, rather than through blatant Marty Sue "Chosen One" pomegranate like Sword Art Online.
That being said though, their skill has limits, and I found it annoying that this NEET character who is clearly a shut-in, while yes being incredibly clever and great at games and logic and stuff, can somehow tell that the innkeeper is lying through his social interaction. He's a shut-in! he clearly is socially inept, as shown by his sisters jab at him earlier, so how does that make sense? He comes across as far too cocky and confident for someone of his status.
The PREMISE is excellent, especially with the backstory about the gods, and while the characters are undoubtedly skilled and I look forward to seeing what kind of games they win, they seem to be very poor characters so far, with no characterization at all, other than them being gaming savants. The first episode seemed incredibly rushed, with them appearing in this new world and then all of sudden finding a civilization and knowing its customs (like the phrase they say before they start a game).
I'll keep an eye on this show, but i'm of 2 minds about it right now.
