After watching all 3 seasons of Overlord there was one big thing that had me scratching my head, apart from the bad CGI. My question to fans of the show is, why is Albedo popular? She is apparently the second most popular character from the show, behind Ainz. Yet to me she barely did anything to wow me, so maybe Overlord fans can help me explain her popularity.

It's because of her undying, unwavering, unfaltering, and pure love for Ainz, which is the self-insert character, probably.

I think it says a lot about a show when the half-assed reason for something like that is because the MC programmed her to. Good thing I dropped this show on the second episode.

I personally really like how yandere she is


There isn't much to Albedo really but she that perfect blend of Yandere. Crazy and Devoted is just appealing and she so extreme so those that like that aspect really like her character

What does that matter?
All the NPCs have their behaviour come from the programming of their creators and are shaped by it

Not really, she literally has no purpose in the show because she didn't exist in the original webnovel. If you remove her, the only thing that would change would be that noone whould be fighting with shalltear for Ainz's bones.
The story itself was good. It's an example of a good power fantasy story since the focus of the story is Ainz's effect on the world and not entirely on Ainz's feats.

Is that even a question? She has tits and is constantly throwing herself at the MC. There's whole anime genres based on that concept, that's how much anime fans like it.

I probably regret this post by now.

She pretty much grew to become a shitfu instead of a waifu once I finished season 3.

Nothing happened. I probably had wrong expectations from her character as to how she would influence the story. But no.

It seemed like she was upto something in season 2 but nothing came of it. Rather useless bait.

But that's not the point since you were asking about other people and not yourself. You should know enough about anime fans by now to not need our help figuring out why they like a female char with tits aggressively trying to seduce the MC. It's not like I particularly like her either, but it was always pretty obvious to me why fans of the show do.

Yet during season 2 Sebas got a lot of screentime showing more about his character, it wouldn't be difficult to do this with Albedo. I know anime fans love their tits, but come on.

Not really, she literally has no purpose in the show because she didn't exist in the original webnovel. If you remove her, the only thing that would change would be that noone whould be fighting with shalltear for Ainz's bones.
The story itself was good. It's an example of a good power fantasy story since the focus of the story is Ainz's effect on the world and not entirely on Ainz's feats.


Her status as 'best girl' or 'main love interest' or whatever is completely hollow since she was made to. If she wasn't even a thing in the original, why was she added to the anime then? I take it the web novel had a plot without her, right? So she is likely there just to sell then, except she was added in quite literally the laziest way imaginable, seriously.
That said, this wasn't the reason I dropped the show, I dropped it immediately when, after mc-kun gives some shitty speech, that other girl goes on about getting wet. Honestly, this would still have been shit if it had been a good speech, we had had time to understand/like/give a shit about the MC, but no. It's episode 2.
As I'm giving my impression here, I might as well mention how stupid it is making a self-insert character that looks like this one... If you want an intimidating character that looks like that, or even an anti-hero then that makes more sense, but not this guy.

Yes the original webnovel had a story without her. She was probably added for boobie points. I don't disagree that she's hollow, all I'm saying is that her presence didn't degrade the overall quality of the show since she's literally a background character, albeit one that's given an inordinate amount of screentime.

If you like her that's fine by me. I'm just asking a question not changing peoples viewpoints

if a character as bad as her isn't degrading to a show, it must be a pretty fucking terrible show, no?

It's because she's the character that appears in the first endings. That's the only reason why Albedo is more popular than Shalltear.

I prefer the term swaggy bro.

But I like this character too and love the show, she is not my favorite though. I like the pleiades more than Albedo or Shalltear. lupusregina>CZ delta>Naberal Gamma> who cares about the rest. I love the threads arguments though.

"She was programmed too so it doesnt count and it sucks...", besides all romance in anime being as equally fake, her incidental yandere status is canon. That is the point. If you don't like it, than you don't like the point.. so you don't like an aspect of the show, does that mean you don't like the show? I mean its perfectly fine to feel that way, but maybe you are taking it a little to serious. I don't think there is a problem with that, but albedo is as albedo does, and some people think its great. Lupusregina is bae though, cause she hates humans and is such a fake bitch, and who doesn't love a bitch. No one.

Basically because she's smoking hot and yandere, but I agree that more screen time is needed to develop the character though.

Large breasts, acts like a matured lady, not a loli, head over heels for the main guy. Do u want more than that? Plus, the fact that all other characters are plain boring and one dimensiomal also gives her a advantage.

And i'm not a fan of this series. Just stating my personal opinions.

Now on the serious side, Albedo is a yandere, without ever being able to endanger the MC, so she has all the benefits of a yandere, without the drawbacks. Also, being a pure virgin helps, probably...

First impressions matter. She has a huge personality and isn't afraid to show her feelings. I can relate to her lots on an emotional level myself though I can see why lots of people would hate her since she wasn't even meant to be part of the anime itself, however I relate on a deeper personal life level with Shalltear Bloodfallen.~

Ps: Most shut-in love her but won't openly admit it despite her not having as much character development as the rest of the characters.~ E̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶'̶r̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶d̶e̶f̶i̶n̶i̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶.̶

True, but unlike every Yandere the picture shows in your message she doesn’t develop much as a character. Sebas is a great example for the series that has a character who develops a lot since their introduction
