Synopsis

Ainz Ooal Gown, the undead sorcerer formerly known as Momonga, has accepted his place in this new world. Though it bears similarities to his beloved virtual reality game Yggdrasil, it still holds many mysteries which he intends to uncover, by utilizing his power as ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. However, ever since the disastrous brainwashing of one of his subordinates, Ainz has become wary of the impending dangers of the Slane Theocracy, as well as the possible existence of other former Yggdrasil players. Meanwhile, Albedo, Demiurge and the rest of Ainz's loyal guardians set out to prepare for the next step in their campaign: Nazarick's first war…

Overlord II picks up immediately after its prequel, continuing the story of Ainz Ooal Gown, his eclectic army of human-hating guardians, and the many hapless humans affected by the Overlord's arrival.

Just as I predicted in the first season, the underdeveloped story has grown significantly in Season 2, making it clearly better than Season 1. Let’s keep this review short but (I ended up making it longer again!)

Story :
Overlord II adapts Volumes 4, 5, and 6 of the light novel. The first arc focuses on the Lizardmen and presents the story largely from their perspective. Ainz, in his goal to expand Nazarick’s power, plans to conquer the Lizardmen in order to raise an undead army from their corpses.

The "protagonist" of this arc is Zaryusu, a brave and clever warrior. He takes it upon ...

Mixed Feelings
I liked the first season of overlord, so i thought the 2nd season will be like wise. But I am really disappointed. They spend 4 episodes on some lizards, man i don't think who will be willing to watch some lizards blushing over each other. After the lizards, they spent 15 minutes of the episode on unimportant character talking to each other. The undeveloped character like Climb who has no depth, just Bragg about working hard without any sense of reality has more screen time than the mc Ainz. I think there are some people who might enjoy the romance between Sebas and the girl ...

I have never understood why Overlord receives so much praise.

It is practically a generic isekai light novel adaptation, but with older characters, giving it the illusion of maturity. Overlord is not mature, it's not remotely well written, its visuals don't even look good. The character designs look cool, and all but that isn't enough to carry a boatload of mediocrity. Both this season and the first were at best disposable entertainment, like any other isekai light novel adaptation. What's the appeal of it? Is it that Momonga is a ridiculously overpowered self-insert protagonist and his legion of ladies all want him?

Momonga is a typical isekai ...
