Synopsis

E-Rantel, the capital city of the newly established Sorcerer Kingdom, suffers from a dire shortage of goods. Once a prosperous city known for its trade, it now faces a crisis due to its caution—or even fear—of its king, Ainz Ooal Gown. To make amends, Ainz sends Albedo to the city as a diplomatic envoy.

Meanwhile, the cardinals of the Slane Theocracy discuss how to retaliate against Ainz after his attack crippled the Re-Estize Kingdom's army, plotting for the Baharuth Empire to take over the Sorcerer Kingdom. However, when Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix arranges a meeting with the Theocracy's messengers at a colosseum, he is confronted by none other than Ainz himself.

With their secret gathering now out in the open, the emperor and his guests learn that Ainz has challenged the Warrior King, the empire's greatest fighter, to a duel. With Ainz's motivations beyond his comprehension, Jircniv can do nothing but watch as humanity's future changes before his very eyes.

A fancy surroundings from MMORPG-like world, fire openings, nice background music, fantastic story and really good jokes.

This isekai brings a lot of fancy things together and make them work in a really interesting way. Since first season we could watch journey of main "hero" but from the bad side of the story.

The 4th season is quite an exception in the entire story - or possibly the beginning of something even more interesting? I probably didn't have an episode where I wouldn't laugh at least a bit. Those situations and jokes are something that will catch you off guards and make you enjoy few hours ...

Mixed Feelings
This season of Overlord is reflective of a large shift in tone and philosophy, and it's one I'm not fully satisfied by, as a fan of the previous three seasons. What I enjoyed about those three seasons was the comedy inherent in the premise, of an extremely self-serious fantasy world butting heads with Ainz, who is the most powerful being in the world despite not even really trying or caring, and, of course, the action sequences. Unfortunately, these are both aspects which have taken a backseat in this new season. The order of the day is politics: in showing Ainz's efforts in building his own ...

Complete waste of time. I really can't imagine how this season can claim to cover 3 whole volumes of the source light novel when all its content boils down to a showoff joke of a "war" and little else. I guess it just means the light novels are not any good either. There is only one noteworthy event in all of it, the so to say "origin story" of a potentially interesting character combo in the future, Princess Renner and her pet.

There are also a few other countries which the MC accidentally conquers as he stumbles around, but that feels just like a side ...
