neonie said: The budget for this episode seemed to be $2.67, a bag of lays and stick of juicy fruit. The skeletal dragons were a complete joke and maybe some of the worst CG I've ever seen in an anime. GG animation department, you can shade what looks like a stolen asset from a PS2 game.
The 2D animation also wasn't great and boy Madhouse sure does love taking advantage of the fact Ainz face doesn't require any frames to speak, because apparently body language is beyond him as well, not that the other characters seem to move much either.
All in all I rate this episode: Stilted mess.
It's official. YOu need to get your eyes checked
Eyes? Id say he need to have his whole brain checked
Ouch..the ''Hug to Death'' scene was pretty painful to watch to be honest. Only because of how Clementine kept flailing to survive. She deserved it I guess.
Nabe just owned that dude so easily.
Shalltear has revolted..well..that was expected from the opening. Will be interesting to watch.
I think it's kind of a let down that they didn't include the conversation with that item/orb kajit was holding. That orb was quite special.
“Ainz-sama.”
“How is it? Have you taken all the items? Including the money?”
“Yes. Just a little question, about this.”
In the hands of Narberal, who was at the entrance of the shrine, was a black bead, its shape was not flat and it looked like a stone similar to those found near a river, it didn’t look like it had any value.
“... What is that?”
“Yes, this looks like the precious item that the lower life form (hairpin planarian) was using during my battle with him. However I do not know what effect it has…”
“I see.”
The spells that the NPC Narberal has learned were far less than Ainz, most of them were combat magic, so she was unable to discern the item’s worth.
Ainz took the black ball, and activated his magic again.
“「Greater Item Identification」.”
The red light in Ainz’s eye shined:
“What is this..? Orb of Death? And… Also a sentient item?”
The name Orb of Death sounded impressive, but it was nothing special.
The item helped supplement the power of the undead, it also allowed one to use multiple necromantic magic in a day, but all these didn’t appeal to Ainz at all. Although this was able to manipulate those who were afraid of the Orb of Death, it couldn’t control Ainz, Narberal or any other kinds of demi-humans or heteromorphic races and those who have immunity against mind control.
“Can’t be said if this was a good or bad item…”
The only point that interested Ainz was the part about being a 「Sentient Item」.
Ainz lightly poked it, and almost wanted to ask it to speak, when a voice suddenly appeared in his head.
───Greetings, Great King of Death.
Hearing the voice. Ainz stared intently at the orb, because in this world that was full of magic and magical monsters, something like this was no reason to cause a huge fuss.
“Ah, truly a sentient item.”
Ainz flexibility rolled the orb in his hand. Then carefully looked, the orb had no sign of speaking. Ainz thought for a while, then said what came into his mind:
“I allow you to speak.”
──Thank you very much. Great King of Death.
This made Ainz think about his loyal NPCs back in Nazarick, and gently laughed.
──I am deeply impressed by thy unmatched aura of death and offer my deepest respect.
I should have dispelled all of my aura spells, how did this item start calling me “King of Death”.
“Continue.”
──My thanks, supreme Lord of Death. For the chance to encounter someone as great as thee, I offer my deepest thanks to all the death in this world.
Although it was words of flattery, but these words seemed like heartfelt words from the heart. Which caused Ainz’s spine to feel itchy, he proudly stood tall:
“So? Other than flattery, do you have anything else to say?”
──Yes, I know that this may seem disrespectful, but I would like some help to achieve this wish.
“What wish?”
──Yes. All along, my wish was to spread death across this world, but after meeting you, the Great King of Death, only did I realise what I was born in this world to do ── I was born into this world to serve you.
“... Oh.”
── O Great King of Death, please accept my oath of fealty. I hope that I could have a place among your faithful servants.
The voice sounded pretty sincere, if it had a head, it should be bowing down right now. Ainz brought his left fist to his mouth, and started thinking. Thinking about the underlying advantages and disadvantages, whether it could be trusted and more.
Ainz carefully looked at the item. If he considered “Safety” then destroying it would be the best option, but for an item that did not exist in YGGDRASIL, that would be too much of a waste.
After applying a few defensive spells on the orb, Ainz called for the giant hamster at the entrance of the shrine:
GOD DAMN. I almost cried from happiness when that bitch Clementine got wrecked. He should've tortured her a lot more. Like break her hands and stuff, she deserved it.
That Clementine moment was so epic. Gotta say though , thus far Nabe way more waifu material than Albedo and Shaltear :) I bet shaltear rebelled cuz she wants to see ains already lol.
So, there are people who have accounts designed to shit on seasonal animes? Because i can't see no other reason someone would stick until episode 9 if they hate an anime... lol.
I don't know, the boob grab episode was pretty awesome... and so was the grasp heart (Tier 9 undead spell) episode... Joking aside: This episode was nice, but the CG was crap. In the previous episodes, the CG didn't need to be good and it worked well but this episode had too much of a focus on elements that would've been much better had the animators got off their lazy asses and made it so.

You can't be serious. Last week's CG was much worse than this =_=
What a fucking glorious episode. So much joy when Momon crushed that crazy ass fool, and Nabe's scene was damn glorious too. All in all, absolutely loved this episode. Can't wait for the next one.
Well there goes Clementine's sexy crazy ass. I'll miss all her crazy faces and dad boody. She had like a dozen different expressions every moment she was on screen.
She deserved her fate but still a waste of a good ass. He should have made her his sex slave.
Baka-Hiru said: Nabe-chan! best maid of tghe seaon imo....Am I the only one who her voice seductive? anyone? ........I'm not an "M" btw
Stop lying to yourself. You just want to hear her say "i will crush you like a bug" to you and have her step on you.
I really liked that fight with Clementine. I was kinda fearing it would be bad, because you know there was no chance in hell she would be a serious opponent. Instead she was used to get information, which was really cool.
That hugging scene was really intense.
Plot twist at the end, raises some interesting questions, like why did we had to go through that whole "we are so loyal to you, lord Momonga, we mean Lord Ains Ooal Gown!"-scene?
oh I also never realized that Nabe was one of the maids we saw in the beginning, guess I wasn't paying attention...
Ains said he was an elder lich. Can we assume there are people on his power level then? Since she knew his race existed.
Also there's at least 2 types of adventurers stronger than clementine, Her plate looked gold.
And at least mythril and orichalaum and maybe adamantium have been mentioned.
A curve including all entries should be of a gaussian form. One including limited entries by picking animes you liked and not rating animes you dropped should look like mine.
Amount of total animes each rating should have (percentages): 6-25,7-15,8-6,9-3,10-1

The CG was about the same between the two episodes, however it stood out more in episode 9 than in episode 8. Episode 8 was dark at the start and after it brightened up, the characters were switching locations often enough to not need extra attention. As for episode 9, the lighting was bright enough to expect extra details and to make matters worse, there were 2 battles with small fields that viewers would pay more attention to.
Well, Clementine and Khajiit sure got their ass kick haha.
They die way too easy...not even worth getting serious fighting them...
And that last part where the message saying about Shalltear revolt against Momonga.
Well Shalltear, I like you, but since you go against Momonga...RIP.
Enjoyed Nabe's fight. Sheath smacking a dragon looked fun. I wonder how they could turn over Khajiit to the authorities though, other than with a dustpan.
Also, mental note: If Ainz offers you a hug, decline... politely.
This episode was crazy! That hug reminded me of Gohan vs Bojack if anyone knows what I'm talking about lol. Looking forward to next episode! the other crazy purple chick betrayed? Also really loved Nabe's fight. Completely rekt that old guy and his ugly ass dragons.
I can't stop laughing out of sheer "holy shit what a bad ass mutha fucka." Sure, it's normally a bad thing when your main character is over powered and doesn't face any challenges. But you know what? Sometimes you just want to see someone BEAT THE SHIT out of every adversary he or she comes across.

Novel version was even greater. IT had Clementine's organs coming out her mouth from the pressure he applied on her broken body

She surpasses Adamantium. She surpasses Gazef in terms of abilities, Gazef could beat her if he had all his gear but if Clementine also got all her gear she would beat Gazef.
Ainz is not an "elder lich" his class is literally "Overlord" which can be seen as the highest class of Lich.
As far as I am aware there is no one that is on par with Ainz when it comes to magic
we get it, you could have killed them with just one finger if you wanted, so why make the fight last 17 minutes by talking about basically nothing relevant for 2 minutes after every exchange of attack? both fights could have finished in a total time of 7 minutes and they could have still talked a lot, just not that much.
Man. It's like you didn't even watch the last 8 episodes.
