| The CG normally doesn't really distract me, but the Death Knight this time was particularly... really.... out of place. But wow, this is getting really damn interesting! It's nice to know that they're actually not the only ones in that world or something. AND YESSSS FOR UNCENSORED!!!! albedo was pretty useless though even though she took time wearing that armor or something, i mean not really but if she did something it wasnt even shown?? :< Lord Touch Me though lmfao. |

Ainz brought Albedo along because he wasn't sure how powerful their enemies (the knights) were. He's quite careful (sometimes to the point of being a bit paranoid) and wanted to secure as much advantages as he can by bringing along a "tank" (Albedo has the highest defense and the largest repertoire of defensive skills among all the servants) since he wasn't sure if revival was actually possible if (and that's a big if) he ever encounters someone/something truly powerful. Luckily, the knights were small fries so he apologized to Albedo for unnecessarily making her accompany him. LN reader here and those things I wrote come from the novel. There's no way to cram the info dump without the adaptation being silly so it's understandable that Madhouse omitted those little details. |

It's really nice to have someone who read the LN explain some stuff when it gets quite confusing there's someone in Rokka threads as well They could've actually explained that part quite discreetly but it's all good anyway. Again, thanks! @katak; eh no gore??? that sux, well thankfully there's uncensored gore here. it made stuff interesting. |

KuroYaksha said: Wow. Something actually happened in this episode and not just pointless talking. OK episode. Still not a big fan of this world. I have no idea how it works.. it's just a bunch of name drops and info dumps. Is there even any real depth to this world? Seriously, give us proper world building like in Magi or Nanatsu no Taizai Read the novels then. |
| Wow. That was a great episode. This show is really coming into its own. You know, I thought Overlord was going to be one of those throwaway Madhouse productions at first. So glad I was wrong. Not only is this a good series, it's also showing that it can stand with all the other "YOU'RE IN THE GAME" type of anime, and is managing to be its own thing. It feels fresh, despite how oversaturated the market is with all these virtual reality anime nowadays. Surprise of the season, IMO. The intro caught me off guard, btw. I almost thought I was watching GATE at first. I had to double check. lol |
| Slaughter Starts..XD Bastards deserve it...and looks like he is going to follow the Example of the comrade that saved him at the start of the Yggdrasil. Still, he is not feeling anything at all huh...he has become True Undead it seems. well, looks like he has taken his Guild Name...well he was only one that Stayed behind in the end...so he has every right to wear that name. Lol, tough even if he saved them they were uneasy..well if Skeleton tries to give you something like that, you sure as hell don't try drink it immediately! XD ....DAAaaaaaammmmnnnn....O__O This just more Brutal series...Damn rare are these kinds of fighting scenes....they are usually very much Censored...I enjoyed the Slaughter. |

There will be many more brutal scenes |
| I love the brutality. This makes things so much more enjoyable. There may have been some frame rate issues in the first episode, but this time around they nailed it with all the violence. Awesome stuff. |

Thanks for letting me know, that's pretty good news. The first episode had some really choppy scenes, but if the raws were good then hopefully they'll be a little more carefully now. I didn't notice any glaring issues like that in episodes 2 and 3. |

Yeah it was only an issue with the funimation version |
| Wow, this anime is like crippled child of Mahouka and Log Horizon. |
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
| ...this anime just keep on getting deeper and deeper ...looks like he's slowly turning to bad guy |
| Haha I burst out laughing at lord touch me! XD |
 |
| He just went out there and killed people... at least he seems to be aware of himself not feeling anything about it... though he doesn't seem to care too much. |

| Holy shit, now this was fun. I hated the CGI though, it really distracted me. And that Engrish was cringe-worthy as fuck. Overall, pretty enjoyable episode. 4/5 |
| omg, this episode much better then i expected. Once again Madhouse did great job. |
| Finally action is here, and it was sure full of blood. That Dark Knight was merciless. Definitely enjoyed the episode. Looking forward to the next one! |

| I don't know why but I feel a bit sad when I watch this show. It just seems so sad having a guild like that that you created with your friends and shit but in the end everyone left for unknown reasons. i wouldn't even log in at that point, the memories would be too painful. |

Well they didn't leave for unknown reasons they just chose their real life and jobs. He said as much in that monologue in episode 1. It's still sad and it's gonna keep coming up in subtle ways. |
| Holy fuck this was awesome. And not because we got battles and seeing the outside world but because the main really stepped up his game and is becoming amazing. This has now become the best anime from the ones i checked this season. The way he asked for a reward as to not alert the villagers, and to how he prioritize information as to get a picture of the world around and even on how he was analyzing Albedo's view of humans and his own changes. It kind of reminded me Shiroe from Log Horizon a little. Can't wait for the next episode and future developments. |
| As I learn more Japanese I realize more and more how bad Crunchy Roll is at translating sometimes *sigh*. Love the show it's a good adaptation so far though. |
| Now that's an interesting episode. Finally! I especially liked the inner monologue of the protagonist, which added so much characterization & depth to every decision. I knew from the the very first episode that the inner monologue would be the highlight. What I am worried about this anime show is how far will they explain every single thing? Like the magic spells the protagonist used when he fought the earlier knights, every spell was explained so much(the tier & how they work in exposition). Was that necessary? I hope this is not going to be another Mahouka, which trying to explain every detail of everything exists, even when it's unnecessary. |
| I like anime. |
| Hmmm, is this why people say trust in Madhouse? I was initially giving this the 3 episode rule, but this episode sold it to me. |
| Found this on the series' twitter, so I guess it's legit :) The concept art for the death knight. |

| I forgot how powerful resurrection actually is in the MMORPG world lol (not to mention how imba most of his shit is anyways)... I'm sure Momomomomonga has a few self-ress' up his sleeve too. Totally would love to see how AINZ OOAL GOWN further manipulates the mechanics of the game. |
| after watching episode 3...now I'm totally hooked! 5/5. |
 |
| FUCKING HELL, THIS EPISODE WAS BRUTAL! The MC's appearance at 08:10 and his rampage from then on. M8 after his summoning of the death knight with the background music, way too good. Surely the best episode in the series I've seen up till now, and looking forward to the next one ;) 5/5 for this episode for sure. |
 |
| Hooray for the lack of censorship! I was pleasant surprised with the violence. Albedo's armor looks amazing. The MC spends more time learning about the world, which is great. |

| He said he wanted information from the knights. Then why didn't he just revive one of the dead ones and ask them? PLOT FLAW. |
| This is the best overpowered-protagonist anime I've seen. |
 |
| Hahaha that's some nice slashing and stabbing XD |
| That was great, much better than the first two episodes. The setting is still too hazy, though. I'm inclined to believe they're not even in a game anymore. |

They aren't :( They were transported into a new world, where everything is real now:) That's what Ain was figuring out in the first 2 ep. |
|
| Ahaha, so bloody and violent, loving it. |
| This one is really an eye catcher I'm starting to see that this a combination of its predecessors really stands out instead of the whole goal of trying to find a way home he has the guts to face the world an MC that was left alone with so much power figuring out the world he is now this is the best. |

| Albedo's still sexy in that armor. Death Knight, on the other hand, is pretty brutal. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Yeah, playing god by reviving people never ends well... It's funny how he kept saying that he didn't felt human at all, yet, he instinctively saved the village. Sure, it was because he had a benefit for it, but he had no reason to protect like that the two sisters. He may be an evil creature in a video game, these people are ''too human'' to not treat them like it. I feel bad for having giggled by the knights getting slaughtered. There was something truly delighting by seeing them so powerless. The transition from hunters to hunted was pretty great too. |

| The pacing is slow and the action was mediocre... I do hope it gets more interesting soon! |
 |
| Episode interesting enough, narratively managed to entertain well with a number of serious conditions and with a combattiemnto not so rough. I sling the next episode to find out in which direction you are moving the series. |
 |
| Well this is the long way to getting a kingdom, I wonder if there are other players who are stuck there, and if they will be friend or foe.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| what a fucking awesome episode. it really actually felt like it could have been an MMO that was turned real life. |
| I don't understand... I thought that's Yggdrasil, the game he's trapped inside. So why does everything seem foreign to him? He gathered info, asked some villagers (or should I say NPCs) if they know what magic is, he tried using his magic skills to the enemies. And he said: "the money from Yggdrasil does not work in this world" wtf? Then where the hell is he? lol this is confusing. Also I like the fight scenes. They don't censor it much and not afraid to show blood. I like my shows a little bloody. |
