| Definitely needed more actions and fights. Gave it a solid 7/10. Shalltear vs Ainz was good. |

ichii_1 said: Merkk said: Ainz's earlier The Goal Of All Life Is Death nuke instantly killed Shalltear, that's what the anime lead me to believe. Someone explain to me how Ainz, a player, had this insanely OP skill which killed a raid-tier boss instantly. She's not raid tier boss level, she's just the worst matchup for Ainz, touch me would beat shalltear easily. The guilds benefits and area effects are the real threats for raiders. Ainz has a rare class called the "eclipse class" one of the skills let's him strengthen his instant death skills. So let me get this straight, even though Shalltear guards 3 floors of Nazarick, she is not a raid-tier boss and therefore could be 1HKO (especially more so due to Ainz's rare skill). The fight was just extra tough because she was a bad opponent for a magic caster. However, raid boss or not, wasn't she designed to not be fought solo, but with a raid-size party (20+ ppl)? Therefore, you would think she's immune to a single nuke skill by one player, or else the game would be broken as shit. Imagine just about 5 players like Ainz spamming TGOALID once at each floor boss. |

Therefore, you would think she's immune to a single nuke skill by one player, or else the game would be broken as shit. Imagine just about 5 players like Ainz spamming TGOALID once at each floor boss. First of all, like someone already said, she is not raid-tier level. Also, the original game is unlike current real MMORPG as in there are truly unique items (one of a kind in the entire game) and skills. Ainz's special class and skills need some extremely hard requirements to be met in order to be effective and it's likely there are only a few players that have achieved that status. Shalltear is immune to the instant death effect. However, Ainz's special skills is extremely rare and is able to grant instant death to everything, ignoring all immunity effects. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Unlike the previous episode it showed some explanations about the weapons and blows used, but still looked a slightly unreal struggle by be commented by the members who were outside, and then it all happened in a rush, a lot of information presented and nothing very concrete, certainly I like of the anime's plot, and already I follow the manga, the anime left me in doubt at various points, it is possible that I go also read the LN to learn more about the story .. |

| Ainz is a p2w scrub. |
antonn said: Ainz is a p2w scrub. In fact, that is a true statement. Ainz in the original game dedicated his entire salary to the game. That's why he has the extremely premium Wish ring that can grant 3 free wishes per day.... |

| Shalltear's boobs... I'm gonna miss them... Wait... 9/10. |
 |
| Very entertaining from start to finish. It's a shame because I feel as if the anime didn't really go into depth about a couple of things that needed explanation. Epic last fight between Ains Ool Gown and Shaltear to finish things off. I'm gonna miss this because it's probably by far my favorite of the summer season. Hopefully there's a second season ^^ 8/10 |
 |
| Not the strongest last episode but wasn't bad either. Very good series overall and look forward to a S2 eventually. Also, gonna miss the OP and ED ;_; antonn said: Ainz is a p2w scrub. So true xD |
 |
| Summer 2015 has officially ended, well atleast for me. There still a lot of mysteries in the show, sadly, Madhouse produce this and they're notorious for not making second seasons. Im still hoping though. We still have no idea what Ains look like in real life maybe he's actually sweaty and fat but from what I remember only working adults can join the guild so at least we are certain he's not jobless. Well this anime definitely was more entertaining than I first thought. Overall very decent. |

| Every servant constantly ass-licking Momonga was really annoying and that fight with Clementine and the old fart felt like watching some 12 y.o. bashing each other on COD. 5/10 |
 |
| Good episode... Lord Ains was pretty beast in this episode, how everything he did was all according to his plan during the battle, even though one of the guardians did help Lord Ains, (because of the casting time of his magic item/spell) he did the majority. The feels when Ains uses his comrade's weapons and the vision of them at the throne room in Nazarick. Also, yay, Momonga and Narbeth reached the Adamantine class, third-tier too! (I hope that's the highest rank) Want season 2 with much longer episodes please. Beast anime, wish there were more episodes though. Also, anyone know when there will be a sequel to this or any other related affiliations planned out for the future? |
 |
| Glad Shalltear is saved. 500 mil seems like a lot of money for her, but she's worth it. Must say, im not big into the game genre for anime, but i enjoyed this alot. Loved the art, characters, and overall the VAs did a great job. Would've loved to see more Albedo tho. Overall I give this a 8. Would've given more, but the last part with Shalltear felt dull compared to the earlier parts and felt dragged out. Hoping to see a S2 soon! |

Karura said: the moral of the story is that pay 2 win is the way to go homie was popping those items like a whale pay 2 win to strong overall was very conflicted with show from start to end wanted to really like it but in the end i'm kinda just ehhhh it was alright generous 7/10, since i find the setting still interesting i wouldn't mind seeing more in the future |
 |
| That ending, I think is hint for the second season. It has so much mystery to be unfold |
| It was an okay series. The best moment of the show was definitely the crushing bear hug, just brutal. A lot of things to like but equally a number of things it did poorly. 6.5 out of 10 Theres definitely potential inthe source material and I would watch a second series because I believe it will likely be handled better, though its Madhouse so probably wont get a second season. |

Fiji said: Well, just shows that most MMORPG is always pay to win. LOL. There are good and bad parts, but definitely enjoyed Overlord. I would welcome a second season. |
 |
| It's too bad we spent all season edging around the more interesting factional, world-building, power-struggles, and strength-tier elements. Dabbling in a mockery of traditional fantasy-questing is all well and good, but to me, it feels like Madhouse largely failed to capitalise on any feelings of adventure, danger, or mystery that would've made the show more compelling. Albedo's awkward lusting aside, there was a lot of promising wish-fulfilment to be had here, and it's a shame that it's ended right as the gears seemed to start turning. A second season would be good fun, but it feels like there was a lack of heart put into this one. The crazy-faces should be relatively memorable though. |
| Loved the show, loved the OP and ED, and it looks like they just really took their time (with their thoughts that it can go for more than one season). 13 episodes aren't enough to introduce the others (from Pleiades to the other floor guardians) but I'm guessing there's S2 (hopefully) for that. So far, I haven't seen Cocytus, Demiurge and Sebas, not to mention Ainz' creation as well, Pandora's Actor in action. Ainz is just really OP with the play to win card. Not only that, he is very knowledgeable about it too, which makes things clearly one-sided. (It really is dangerous for online gamers to encounter p2w freaks who also know how to use them, makes you want to quit 'based on experience' lol) |
 |
| What happened at the end? What was Ainz talking about? Were they setting things up for another season? It was a little confusing. As far as "stuck in the game" type anime are concerned, I still think this is one of the better ones. Honestly speaking, I was more invested in the first couple of episodes rather than the later ones, but still a good show overall. Albedo best girl, of course. |
| Apparently this show was a weak adaptation to it's source material but since I haven't read any of the novel/manga I can only judge from what I've seen in the anime. The weakest episodes of this anime were probably the first two and after that I have enjoyed every single episode including the final which gave me a conclusion I was pretty satisfied with. Definitely enjoyed this anime a LOT, one can only hope for a 2nd season. 8/10 |
| This show has pretty much everything I like including a fantasy setting and of course Albedo. I can understand why people would rate it 7-8 but 4-5 is ridiculous. God and watch God Eater or some other lame show instead. Anyway its a 10 for me as it's my favourite show of the summer. Bring on season 2! |
| This show was especially good in the first arc with Clementine and Carne village etc. The whole Shaltear thing felt a little rushed and unfortunately that seems like a decision of not making a second season. Generally this show needed a lot more than 13 episodes anyway. As about people complaining that everything wasn't fast enough. I consider them stupid. The show has to put some dialogue that gives meaning to their actions or else everything seems silly and pointless. If the guy just start changing op weapons with no explanation then it just seems like a completely ridiculous asspull etc. Hell they hardly gave a decent explanation actually why the guy has those weapons. If this people ever tried to read a classic novel i bet their brain will explode. weewah said: Merkk said: Btw, what kind of Supreme Being are you when you have to use around 10 cash items, 20 buffs and all your MP to defeat one of your underlings. sounds pretty normal to me. That's kinda how most MMORPGs work you know? Every important fight has to make you spend tons of cash items, otherwise the dev can't squeeze money out of you. Some mmorpgs get to the point where everyone on the leaderboards is guzzling cash items for EVERYTHING, just because that makes them do whatever it is they do faster, i.e. they can get further ahead of the others. That depends of course on how greedy the developer is and what cash objectives he has. I am currently playing one that is free with cash paying for extra stuff but all those stuff are nothing but skins and nice effects that do not in any way hinder a non cash player. The cash players only get a nicer looking character and some pet or something and nothing more. Of course subscription MMORPGS avoid cash items too because then the subscribers will be pissed on having to pay even more. |

Imagine just about 5 players like Ainz spamming TGOALID once at each floor boss. i haven't read the LN, but saw some people discussing it, i don't remember everything but: - the insta death skill is unique to ains that was rewarded for his RP build (and i think there needs to be a set up they mentioned on the anime, i think?) -shaltear is immune to it so he had to use another skill with it -it has a 30 second cast time -3 days of cooldown something like that |

| i need season 2!! |

Sacriven said: -Yes, it's the special skill from 'Eclipse' class -Nope, Shalltear was dead back then, but revived again thanks to the resurrection items that Peroronchino gave her. -12 sec cast time, 100 hours cooldown i know that she was dead back then, but i remember someone mentioning that the skill had a prerequisite to work on shaltear. |

Momonga was the only one to unlock the Goal of All life is Death by focusing on his necromantic and overlord class for roleplay purposes. |

| Critically the series is probably worth a 6 when taking into considering how ugly and cheap a lot of the art and animation was, but I couldn't help but find myself enjoying the series immensely for reasons I can't pin down. For me that warrants a 7/10 or 8/10. I'll give it a 7.5 and round up to an 8. I'm not sure why I loved this series so much, I've had more fun with this than any other series this season, though many others seem objectively superior. I probably would have hated it if like others I had read the novels, but thankfully I haven't. |

| Pay to win confirmed! But really while looking at this show as an anime, this was the worst and most 'we hate you guys' ending one can image. Show a bunch of hype teasers of what will happen afterwards and then start the ending song. Nope... never to be. This kind of ending can be only considered reasonable if after the ending there would be the news of the next season, which there was not. Maybe one day but in any case MadHouse wasn't planning to do it so far. So all that means was that Overlord anime wasn't an anime but a simple advertisement for the LN, with very little consideration for anime itself. That's my single thought opinion after watching that I will answer with anytime someone ask me about this anime. Ah... since when did Anime turn into this direction... I ask myself at the end of every season where out of average 7 animes I watch till the end, usually only one has something that can be called ending. Now, how many seasons I am asking myself this question now? |
| What or who was that eyeball inside Shalltears helmet? |
Grummel said: I think it was implied that the elf girl was behind it.What or who was that eyeball inside Shalltears helmet? |
Grummel said: What or who was that eyeball inside Shalltears helmet? That was Aura distracting Shalltear since Ainz hesitated at the critical moment when he was about to destroy Shalltear. |
| If there'll ever be a season 2, are there gonna be other players from yggdrasil whose skills match Momonga or more superior..!? Because if only those pitiful humans thats up to challenge Momonga, then I prefer not to watch if the whole point of future battles are just showcasing Momonga and the gang of Nazarick's skills. ╮(╯▽╰)╭ And pulling cash shop items to npc was really cheap. Momonga already had those shining armor and flashy swords even super-tier skills, there's no need to use p2w items (poor Shalltear). (¬_¬) All in all 7/10. Flashy battles and some interesting characters like Pandora's Actor (￣▽￣ ) |
 |
| Good anime, i really like how mc is smart and also op, if there is a second season, i would gladly watch |

| Well it finally ended, really just some mysteries piled up together for no aparant reason, well unless this'll get a 2nd season. Good fight, good animation nonetheless. The attention and thrill this anime needs weakened too in the latter few episodes. My final rating will be an 8. |
 |
| And so Ainz is able to defeat and revive Shalltear, free of the mind control. After that we just get brief glimpses into what might come next. And I'd really like to see what comes next, but only as an anime. This was a fun series, but it left me wanting more. Source material readers hated it, but well that almost always seems to be the case. I enjoyed it well enough, though I'm only gonna give it a 7/10. I do get the sense that that score could rise if we get more of the story adapted, but.... |
| 7 or 8/10 |
