Synopsis

The final hour of the popular virtual reality game Yggdrasil has come. However, Momonga, a powerful wizard and master of the dark guild Ainz Ooal Gown, decides to spend his last few moments in the game as the servers begin to shut down. To his surprise, despite the clock having struck midnight, Momonga is still fully conscious as his character and, moreover, the non-player characters appear to have developed personalities of their own!

Confronted with this abnormal situation, Momonga commands his loyal servants to help him investigate and take control of this new world, with the hopes of figuring out what has caused this development and if there may be others in the same predicament.

Ahh overlord... A show I dropped over half a year ago and only just came back to....

Art - 6/10 ok the first thing I notice is the CGI Usage, alot of it isnt "Bad" But unnecessary and just used to cut corners. The later parts of the season have the best CGI by far and actually looks really good. The character models are iconic at this point. Albedo and Ainz have pretty well known character designs.

Characters - 6/10 We really dont get to know much about the characters, which does pull me out of the anime The characters are not well developed and are just ...

Mixed Feelings
Overlord is definitely an interesting anime. At times, it feels as though there's signs of what could be a great anime, however these signs quickly disappear and the anime goes back to the same boring, repetitive, stereotypical anime. The worst part of Overlord is hands down the characters. Ainz is by all means a good main character, he's fairly interesting and fun to watch. Outside of Ainz, I could'nt care to learn a single characters name. The side cast are all bland and forgettable. All of the girl side characters are just in love with Ainz, not a single one of them show any interesting ...

I don't understand how the premise of this story would sound interesting to anyone: OP lvl999 guy gets SAO'd into a new land and then decides to role-play as a rookie adventurer, during which time he beats up weaklings for marginal benefit when there are thousands of better decisions he could make to reach his goals. This whole anime is like watching an NBA player play semi-seriously against kindergartners. There are no interesting characters, the plot is slow and pointless, the storytelling is all over the place, the art design of characters is ugly and ridiculous, it's chock full of terrible CGI and bad animation, ...
