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.

Mixed Feelings
Overall, it’s not bad—the concept is interesting, and the battles are decent.
But there’s nothing exceptional here, nothing that truly blew me away. One thing I never quite understood was why Momonga didn’t seem too bothered about being stuck in the game or why he wasn’t trying to get back to the real world. Was it because the system kept him calm and he got used to it? Even so, I kept wondering about this every episode, waiting for it to be addressed.

Honestly, I feel like the target audience for this anime is probably teenagers. It was watchable—not boring—but also not particularly gripping. When I finished ...

De las peores mierdas que he tenido la desgracia de ver, esto es la cura del insomnio.

Como no me deja publicar la reseña, procedo a explicar como preparar patatas al ajo cabañil:

Pela y corta un kilo de patatas en rodajas de aproximadamente medio centímetro. Fríelas en abundante aceite caliente hasta que estén doradas pero no demasiado crujientes. Sácalas y déjalas sobre papel absorbente. Mientras tanto, en una sartén aparte, con un poco de aceite, sofríe 4 o 5 dientes de ajo laminados hasta que empiecen a dorarse. Échale un buen chorro de vinagre, media cucharada de orégano seco, sal al gusto y, si quieres, un ...
