So the Lizardmen won, for now. Can't wait for Ainz/other floor commanders to show up and decimate them.

As a non LN reader can you care to elaborate on this? What's the most interesting part missing in the anime? I'm curious.

How after this episode are people still asking about the reason behind the attack on the lizardmen.

The anime used an amine original scene with Aniz & Albedo that,with a very heavy hand,explained what is going on...

The lizardmen are being used to test Cocytus' ability to think of his own and whether Cocytus can learn to act upon his own free will.

Aniz wants to teach the Floor Guardians to be able to protect themselves,to stop acting like npcs in a game and more like the actual free thinking living beings they've become.

Starting with episode 5 it's Sebas' turn.

Sometimes i hate the fact that i have read the light novel. Because of that, the anime felt really rushed and lack of depth.


It's like that with the majority adaptions trying to cram several volumes worth of a LN into 13 episodes.

We're getting four episodes per arc as it is,can not include everything.
Not much of actual importance was really cut from the first battle.

Yes Rororo's faithful,sacrificial charge and end fight against the lich,well yes that could have been longer..but then something else would have been cut.

Learn to binge watch.

After episode 4 a new two part arc starts..and you'll go through a very long list of new characters to learn and you'll not see Ainz or his alter-ego Momon all that much.

Tbh, even in manga the Lizard Arc was much better than this... this didn't tell any of Nazarick POV or Cocytus POV at all , felt so rushed and might be boring for anime-only viewers

but i didn't mind they fasten up everything, since this arc was so-so it's just unfortunate they didn't even show the most interesting part in this arc.


...rushed? Seriously?

This season is only 13 episodes and they are adapting three volumes.
The way you and others are talking it's as if you thinking the anime can spend 26 episodes on this first arc alone.
One episode to setup the season.
Four episodes for the Lizard Man Heroes Arc.
Eight episodes for parts I & II of the Men in the Kingdom Arc.

People will get their epic Aniz/Nazarick OPness fix with episode four.

Another terrible boring episode of lizard men. So far this has to be a 4/10 show but I guess I will have to wait until episode 5 to make my rating count for anything.

Not really, no. I just pointed out how flawed his logic was. I never tried to force anyone to agree with me and you can check the rest of my discussions in this thread to confirm it. And if you can't see that, then sorry to disappoint you, but sadly you're even more delusional than Darklight.

We DO know why Ainz is attacking them. It was established at the end of the first season. Human corpses make for low level undead. Lizard men corpses on the other hand can lead to higher level undead.


Thank you for clarifying that for me, since the 1st season was a few years ago, i don't remember a lot of things. But still, this battle seems a little bit staged up, don't you think so? It looks like he wanted them to lose.

please can someone tell me are we gonna see ainz owning everyone? like fucking cool battle shit, not this lizzard crap, as much as i love overlord this is not even good compared to season 1

The lizards play an important role in the story. There will probably be some ainz yes, but not nearly as much as in season 1. That's how Overlord is. If you expect the season to be all about ainz going around being op you might as well drop the series right now instead of whining cause this is how it's gonna be from now on.

---

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode. I think the battle finished a little bit too quickly and I'm not too fond of the CGI, but hey-ho


i didnt say what i really wanted to say actually, the thing is why i liked season 1, obviously because ainz was fighting many times, secondly there weere pleanty of fights, and the fights looked really good i just want to see action packed thing like it was in season 1, not just walking around(especially unknown livings like lizzards) and talk, and yes if the lizzard fight would atleast be a good fight that would have been kind a good, but if you think that fight was considered a fight, kill me right now, because that animated shit wasnt even close to good. 3skills, everything ended in 2mins.

P.S. if this season will be only politics atleast are we gonna see someone from Nazarick?

SO what you're saying is you are an action junkie. Then this series is not for you.

The animation and visuals were kinda subpar to be honest. Expected better from Madhouse. Are they working on something else too?

Madhouse is working on 3 projects at once

Cardcaptor Sakura
A place further than the Universe
Overlord II

Most of their resources are focused on Sakura because it is HUGE in Japan, so it's understandable why Overlord is not as good quality wise

Btw an animator for Overlord leaked last year that he's drawing the final battle for the Lizard arc for episode 5, so yes, the Lizard arc will end at episode 5

All I have to say about this show is that I can honestly and absolutely state for true and utter fact that this is the first time in my life that I am impressed with the pickup skills of a lizardman. o_o THAT is how you alpha.

Hey I liked S1, that's why I'm so disappointed with S2 so far.

if you still like it then just wait patiently, and please don't force your opinion to others and stoop calling people delusional, check yourself first before others, okay?

if you like SAO that's fine, i personally not enjoy it that much, for me the perfect(as close as it gets) is overlord in terms of MMORPG genre(if there's any)

Once again those idiots have pretty much spoiled the season with the OP. They're literally following the same generic formula of s1 - adventure, betrayal/climax, resolution.

What's the point of watching the lizard 1v1 when you literally know Zaryusu is going to live?

Despite them not actually explaining anything, it's clear that Ainz wanted the Lizardmen to unite but was it necessary to purge them?

I like how it building itselfs up. Now it isn't only about Ainz, but more about his surroundings and I need to say, that I like that we get more shown of the world.
Otherwise, I hope that Ainz shows himself more often in the next episodes.

This arc is mostly centered on cocytus and how he manages to think by himself (with some help) instead just trying to please Ainz or overthinking what his master would like him to do. Well, that's the LN idea.

The problem of adapting this arc is the fact that's isn't very interesting in terms of visual, OPness or action besides the episode 4 when it concludes.

Great work by the Lizard men. Everyone united their forces to beat the enemies. Maybe Ains threatened them all so that they would all unite once again (or for the first time in their history), maybe that was the plan all along.

I guess its all Ainz plan all along, with Cocytus using only low level army, seems like its not to defeat the Lizards, but rather a different objective. Though Cocytus doesn't know of this plan of Ainz.

Subpar animation with those CGI, decent battle scenes, hoping to get it better next episodes' battles.

That's a good weapon he has, he won just by dealing cold damage effect.

I like that chief though, fights over lets drink and get down to business.

Great battle so far, I am really enjoying.

Their 4 headed pet really took one for the team there, it suffered a lot of damage from those fireballs.

They all took a lot of damage just to take down that Lich, either way it was a victory for the lizard men this time, but I think Cocytus could probably take them all down on his own.

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes to see more exciting action.

I thought that this was a disappointing fight. Lord could just walk in there wipe out the entire tribe under a minute. But instead, he sends a level one army of skeletons when he knows how to use 8-10 I think. and no servant of the supreme one should even falter to succeed. he deserves to be a lowly summon.
