| Good start to the new season. It looks good and carries from S3 in a natural manner, with the head honchos discussing the policies of the newly formed Sorcerer Kingdom. The consequent scene with the guild master was also done really well, with great music. Ainz's speech about true adventure hits even harder after having just read the first volume and knowing what Ainz looked forward to during his days as a corporate slave. |
 |
| It's been so long since season 4 I am so hyped to see everyone again lol. The maids were pretty funny this episode |

Legally, there is not much difference between Ainz and other rulers (it's a fantasy-medieval like world). For example, in Theocracy, all nonhumans are basically f@cked. *Absolute monarchies enter the chat* |

| Honestly a fun episode, and back to it's best when it comes to Overlord. I'm very impressed. Also is it just me,or did things look...Improved? As if there was a hint of a better shine to the style and presentation? If that's how it is gonna be throughout the series, I'm all for it. |
| I didn't go back and rewatch the first 3 seasons so I don't really remember much of what's going on but still, it's nice to see that Overlord is back and it feels improved. Sure, not a lot really happened in this episode until closer to the end but I suppose that means the pacing should be much better overall. Good start to the return of Overlord. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Here we go again! ^_^ |
| I can't tell you how much I missed Overlord and needed more of the serie. So glad with its return. The production quality of the episode is much better than the previous scenes and the voice acting is the same so I'm fine. Seems like Ainz is setting up the beginning of his kingdom and is trying to reach out to his other comrades. The opening is a banger. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| The animation was great, and man, what is it that the shows that could really use a recap episode never have it, I remember most of the characters but I can't recall anything about the main plot, like the last thing I remember was maybe Ainz getting ready for a big ass invasion and a bunch of awful CGI troops but that's about it. The lack of Shalltear was also pretty disappointing, where is best girl? |
| This was probably the best way to start this season! We begin with some of albedo's antics and then the twins and fifth join in. I loved the scene where she's climbing a hous after Ainz XD Then we jump into the meat of the show in the second half, the conversation between ainz and the guild master was pretty interesting. Finally, the animation especially the facial expressions was really well done even better than the previous seasons! Its already AOTS for me |
 |
| I love the idea of Momonga bringing the idea back of "True Adventurers" that explore the world and challenge the unknown. It makes a lot of sense for the type of 'adventurer' that he envisions in his mind and experiences, fits his personality. I guess like everyone I felt pain inside me when I saw him stamping every document without reading them. He could've asked albedo or someone to read it out loud as a proposition one by one. I guess that's a bad part about Momonga, he is still too afraid to challenge his status and use his awesome powers in the fear that everyone around him will be disappointing and react negatively. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| Slow but good start. More Albedo goodness is always a plus. Best girl for sure. Nice to just have this series back and excited to see what Ainz and his crew do next. |
 |
| UGH I MISS OVERLORD!!! 😭 MY ALBEDO!! I miss Albedo! Summer is going to be great with everyone. Albedo-chan is so adorable. Ains-sama is back again. Looking forward how he will manage everything! |

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| Probably gonna be my favorite anime this season. Ainz Ooal Gown is back baby! Albedo taking the spotlight this episode, I wish I could've seen Shalltear and other of Ainz subordinates |

| Nice to see this show back. Episode 1 looked promising with a decent setup. Hopefully the season carries itself well. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the adventurers guild moving forward. |
| It's so great to see Overlord finally back. I only had to wait 1 and a half months, since I finished season 3 in may, and almost got impatient for this season to air. So I can only imagine how people must have felt with 4 years of waiting. Overall a very funny first episode with lots of talking and build up. I'm never getting tired of Albedo and her absolute ridiculous reactions when it comes to anything regarding Ainz. The sniffing part had me rolling on the floor lol. You can also tell that the animation quality stepped up, everything looks super clean. After Ainz took control of this kingdom it was obvious lots of things would change. Humans are still afraid of him, but his conversation with the guild master and Fith at the very end shows that he cares a lot for a kingdom where everyone can live happily and in prosperity, even if all of this serves to fulfill his greatest wish, recreating the guild of Ainz Ooal Gown and showing everything to his old comrades. This will be so much fun. Really looking forward to every Tuesday from now on. |
 |
| Not gonna lie, I barely remember anything from Season 3 aside from Ainz taking over X kingdom and that time when viewers got super mad after realizing MC wasn't actually a good guy. Anyways, decent re-introduction episode. |
| Great first episode, a little fan service from the first half and a wonderful idealism of being a "true adventurers" from the last half. Unfortunately, we didn't get any OP and ED or even a recap... Oh, well... |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Oh no! they're calling it the Nation of Darkness and not the Sorcerous Kingdom! I knew there was a good chance they would but it still just sounds wrong. It's great to see everyone on the screen again! Really hope they do this season justice as there are a lot of great moments! I'm not thrilled with how they handled the adventurer talk at the guild though because what should have been a grandiose and inspiring speech that really captured Ainzich's heart kind of fell flat and didn't really capture that essence at all. I know it was a time issue so I guess we'll see how this season handles the other moments like this. Anyway, really looking forward to this season and I hope it measures up! |
  ★・・・・・・★ If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased. ★・・・・・・★ |
| Oh wow it is finally back |
 |
| the animation was better than S3 but albedo's fanservice kinda annoying me . |
| It wouldn't be Overlord with seeing Albedo's obsession with Ainz. |
 |
| Albedo is annoying as usual. I love seeing Pandora's Actor once again, his presence makes the episode twice as better, he is so entertaining as usual ^.^ |

Eifue said: The whole Overlord is a politics arc.It's a great episode and all but are we getting into the politics arc like every other isekai where the MC is just establishing a country for good PR? |
You all need to watch Nami. |
| i barely remember anything from the previous seasons smh |
 |
| I was afraid since, seeing as Shield Hero season 2 was terrible and seeing as Kadokawa handled it's adaptation poorly, that Overlord IV would be bad but as far as the first episode is concerned, it's damn good so far, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season! |

| Madhouse redeemed themselves, cut content obviously with the size of the novels but good stuff. |
 |
| mediocre beginning to the season considering it's been around 4 years since we got any content. I'll continue watching, but my hopes are low. Side note, madhouse truly is washed. |
| It's back and first ep is pretty boring, that's pretty disappointing but maybe it will get better later on |
FreezePeach said: He doesn't understand what his underlings do and afraids to correct them. Neither of them care about people, elves or demihumans. This entire "let's make an utopia" came out of nowhere after "lets murder on a scale that will scare everyone into submission". His motivation seems to be "wouldn't it be cool to show my utopia to guildies". He must be able to plan at least two steps in advance to rule anything and he can't take care of his current duties. I wouldn't say he doesn't understand, Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |
