Well if anything, I do admire Climb's courage to confront Ainz like that by himself. Takes a lot of guts to stand against a ruler of a kingdom.

On the other hand, there's Renner and she's actually a bit freaky with the way she's protrayed in the finale. Anyways, it looks like the invasion is in the late stages now and they've really come far into their plans. I wish this season was longer though, as this definitely felt rushed.

Finally, we reach to the climax of Ainz's 4th Outing, which is also the highlight of Volume 14 of the LN: The Witch of the Falling Kingdom.

It's funny watching Mare being over-concerned about the people yet give encouragement to the fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom. As Princess Renner readies her plans to save herself, her father King Ramposa III and Climb out of the kingdom, time is of the essence to hide their valuable magic items of historical value. And they don't have a lot of time, as Aura starts his sortie, and Climb's coincidental meet with Mare only surfaces his cowardice as he heeds her advice to turn back to the royal palace, only to be greeted with the sight of the Holy Kingdom being decimated and the royal palace completely in ice.

To make matters worse, Princess Renner and her father being caught by Ainz himself with his Floor Guardians in toll, with Climb being the last human stronghold being given his last fighting chance to take down the Sorcerer King himself. He literally has no chance against Ainz with his Grasp Heart being the final toll that beckoned his end, but not before the Princess herself becoming a demonness for the price of his resurrection in complete fealty to Ainz under Albedo. Kiyono Yasuno's song of solemn really is just that powerful both visually and musically, being the princess who's been through the thick and thin, only to betray her entire kingdom as a witch.

Marquis Raeven's visit back to the Holy Kingdom was a journey to a wasteland where Ainz is just sitting on the throne and getting ahead on his endeavours...And The End Begins.

A great finale (tho of coz, it feels rushed) to a great season that's a return to form, and now I'm looking forward to the Holy Kingdom arc movie even more.

This episode culminated the dark comedy that is Climb's simping and Philip's stupidity. Ainz even enjoyed himself a little reveling as the villain.

This last eps was really dark than any other eps before.

And it was revealed that Renner and Demiurge has been working together since season 2 and Albedo says that 90% fall of Re estize kingdom was Renner's plan all along.
And i think Jaldabaoth was Renner's plan all along.

Renner is the MVP in this season 4

btw Renner's part is very scary and i did not expecting Renner to sing lmao
and poor/lucky(?) Climb i hope he's having fun for eternity lol
Madhouse really intend to adapt this season 4.

Now you know why Princess Renner was swinging the sword in the previous episode...
She was practicing for this moment in the throne room...

And dang I also just realized that she was poisoning the children at the orphanage, and telling the caretaker to also "eat"...

In some ways, Princess Renner feels scarier than some of the floor guardians. And boy, the destruction of the Kingdom looked a lot more gruesome than I thought.

It was a nice end to the season, and now I'm looking forward to the movie. Hopefully we can get more announcements after the movie airs.

I laughed at the sheer utter stupidity that was climb

He was played so hard and even than he could not see who the monster really was XD. Maru really did want to highlight the sheer ridiculous that is the Shonen hero type.

The singing was a nice touch, a nice send off to Renner and her accomplishments as her involvement along with climb is pretty much done in the series.

The one issue i did have is why did they have to waste so many minutes with those flashbacks those extra minutes could of been helped in adapting the other cut content.

Oh well

The end does hint at a s5 as if it does come out it will pretty much adapt the last volumes of the series so it will truly be the Begining of the End.

9/10 overall i gave it a 10/10 cause of personal reasons :P lol

Climb is the most pitiful creature in this series, and after what happened this episode guess no one will ever top him. Love really makes you blind, isn't it? Same for Philip.

Plenty of gore and graphic in last few episodes, which really made them fly by in a flash. Mighty impressed with the season, then there's a movie coming too. So more to look forward to.

Oh, you miunderstood; easy enough with how it was portrayed. What wee got to see Mare being worried about being efficient with the slaughter. In case you anime-onlies thought otherwise, he had no qualms with murdering everyone there; it was whether he could do it effectively that concerned him.

During the experiments on the outer cities, he was personally trained by Ainz on how to use things such as earthquakes to kill everyone in one fell swoop without survivors. So Mare wanted to prove himself capable.

As an LN reader, this was a very well done finale. I'm very satisfied.

As for if it's reaching the end, the author mentioned before that he intends to end it with Volume 17. At least that is what he's said before. 15 and 16 came out in June/Jul this year. If he wasn't bluffing, then yes, since this last arc of this season was Volume 14, we are indeed reaching the end of this story, at the very least.

Overlord is a musical!

What an absolutely amazing finale. Could not have drawn it up better. Heads exploding, heads being taken, Renner being revealed as the mastermind and best yandere, etc etc. Really crazy to think a few years ago we thought the overlord anime was dead after how bad the production of season 3 was.

Renner demon form got me about to act up, climb should consider himself VERY lucky.

Now if you enjoyed this season, remember to read the books and support the author especially as the series is winding down.

Well tbf, the movie will adapt content that is between episodes 8-9 iirc so it wouldn't make sense to leave a cliffhanger for something that already happened quite a bit ago.

It's like a twisted version of a disney princess and musical lol. The princess gets her happy ending along with her 'prince' after the prince defeats the great evil and we are awarded with a musical number sang by the princess herself...except the great evil won and the prince ends up dying before being revived and the reveal that princess was responsible for nearly everything that happened.

Its so twisted and I love it

I'm rather disappointed with this last half, it feels like something is missing unlike the last 3 seasons and the first half of this 4th season. I can't feel the greatness of Momonga's adventure anymore. TBH, the last half was lackluster or I'd probably need to rewatch it again... sigh...

Anyway, this episode is rather average+ for me. The only character who entertained me the most in this episode is Renner. lmao

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Yes, if Overlord V happens.. it will likely be the final season. They seem to be adapting at least 3 volumes of the LN per season.. and the author said he's ending it on Volume 18... so basically 4 volumes left from where we are at now.

Season 5 should be the final one right? Since the movie will cover the Holy Kingdom Arc between ep 7-8 of season 4.

Everyone played out their roles quite well. All was laid bare by Renner from first season to date for the fall of her kingdom and be the fallen one. Its the little ones you should be scared of in this show. Mare and Aura were pretty scary with how they acted with cheerfulness while Renner with that finale dance was creepy as hell. She had poor Climb by the stick.
Also Zanac was the man he aimed to be, the true kingship for standing his ground. He deserved a warriors death.

So now the kingdom arc has ended. So begins the world domination arc.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.
