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.

This is not a full review, but rather explanation why I feel Overlord stands above the standard.

Something are good because they are good, and somethings are good because they are something that others are not. For me, Overlord is good not because I feel it objectively shines above all other in terms of story and characters (though I feel they are certainly above average), but because it scratches a very specific craving I've developed over the years with excessive anime consumption.

To put it short, I've had my fill of holy savior protagonists, the messiahs, the good boys, the infallible morally just protagonists. I am also ...

Mixed Feelings
**Overlord Season 4: A Complex Journey with a Divisive Protagonist**

*Overlord* Season 4 is a season that left me with conflicting emotions, largely due to the direction taken with its central character, Ainz Ooal Gown. While the series continues to deliver on its dark fantasy premise with rich world-building and intricate political maneuvering, my growing discomfort with Ainz as a protagonist made this season a more challenging watch.

From the beginning, Ainz has always been a morally ambiguous character, but in Season 4, this ambiguity tipped more toward outright villainy. His decisions and actions throughout the season made it increasingly difficult for me to root for him. ...

ah yes, the plague of most fantasy anime nowadays:
S1: lots of fun, lots of thing happening, lots of development
S2: it gets toned down a bit but still fun
S3: stale, slow, gets political
S4: goes full political and boring. Forget all the fun, all the action, all the development and all the things happening. Here are some episode-long dialogues that nobody cares about, here are some antagonists making sophisticated plans that have absolutely no value to the fun factor of the show and no weight because you already know that the god almighty protagonist will whipe them out in a second, so why waste screen time with ...
