| The major human establishments have been named, it will revolve around the kingdom for now. RE-Estize Kingdom Baharuth Empire Slane Theocracy So this is why people like seeing each other die :O We are lower lifeforms :(  9th tier spell XD They stop using English to name the attacks, it sounds bad :( |

Annuvin said: Random rant: I'm confused as to why do they address Gazef as a 'head warrior' in the funi subs. That just sounds kind of silly. His rank/title is '戦士長' so just like a (ship's) captain - '船長' - shouldn't he be called Warrior Captain/Commander or Knight Captain? I recall there was some confusion about that in the novel translation too. Anyhow I think that would match way better especially considering he commands some squads/armies or whatever it was. They probably did that because 戦士長 is not a real rank so they don't have a translation. They just took it literally and I don't think it's that bad^^ |

| I don't regret picking this up. |

| Fantastic, absolutely beautiful. The MC really is something else, seems like he'll end up to be among my favourites. For the rest, well what can be said that hasn't been said already, there is just the right amount of gore, the MC is competent, the story seems to be interesting (way better than another VRMMO anime like SAO) and well, apart from a few moments of obvious CGI, the series seems to be pulling through. A really interesting series, with a MC that keeps me hooked. |
| Really liked this episode. Ainz seems to be pretty smart too. Very nice to have the MC in the "dark side", deadly magic etc, those knights don't stand a chance against him. |

| I was humming a song the whole day and I couldn't figure it out, turns out it's Overlord's ed, the intro is very catchy! This is getting interesting and well Albedo with an armor is kinda cool |
| Great episode. So glad he saved the village and disguising himself was a smart idea. He is gonna blend in some how and hopefully he learns more about this world. I really hope there are other online people |

| I like how it pretty much stays true to the manga, however the pacing is a little bit slow for me. |
 |
| good episode got some world building i do wonder if the series will take its time revealing whether this is a trapped in a mmo story, or mc is actually in a coma, or he physically is not at home anymore and was transported into a fantasy world that is the same as the mmo he played |

| I really liked the episode- That was actually interesting. I'm honestly surprised as I was ready to drop it before this episode. |

| What, who would freely give the power to summon an army of goblins to a little girl? Damn that undead knight was pretty brutal. |
~my list
| Nice to see some action, and a bit of grisly violence. Momonga sure is OP in comparison to those lower level measly humans though. Not much of a challenge at all. I loved that Death Knight, sweet, and where can i get me one of those goblin army summoning horns? |
| holy shit man he just kept stabbing him |
 |
| Albedo's armor is epic. I hope we'll see another Death Knight sometime soon, another brutal and censorship-free scene like that is something I'll be looking forward to. I wonder if we'll ever meet another player. |

I thought she was gonna be half naked, but no which is great this is how armor should be. Awesome armor. |

| I am very happy about how the Death Knight was portrayed this episode, not censoring anything was amazing. Though this episode finally allowed me to pin-point my only problem with the adaption thus far, Ainz's (or Momonga, if you prefer) voice casting and general presentation. When he killed those first soldiers it was said that he looked like an incarnation of death, striking absolute fear into those that looked upon him, but every time I hear him talk it breaks that immersion. Though the full on blood fest is nice, the LN's just felt a lot darker... (Also wish we could have seen those soldiers prostrating themselves before Ainz and calling him lord.) The exposition was only ok though, but that's to be expected from adaptations. Still a very good episode on the whole. |

| Papa Bones is saving this season so far, I am very pleased with this. |
| This episode was way too kickass for words....Oh my god The pacing was so fluid and the action scenes......Holy fuck that gore!!!!!!!!! Momonga fucking REKT those knights with his Death Knight thing The world building, monologues and other exposition moments were really interesting too primarily the fact that Momonga and possibly everyone else in his guild literally do not give two fucks about humans lol Can't wait to see what goes down next week |
| The world is finally expanding with some nice world building. I love this big papi personality that the MC has taken on. Authoritative, emotionless, willing to save/spare people without being overly idealistic about doing so. I wonder what other magic he has up his sleeve. Best episode yet |
| I didn't like the way how they info dumped loads of regions names onto the viewer. Other than that, it was fairly solid. |
"Hi!" |
| "Lord Touch Me" xD Dat Temple of Doomesque heart snatch though. I actually sat up and said out loud "That was cool!" Can't wait to see where his aspirations take him. Only a matter of time before we run into other players, I'm sure. |
| Well now, things just got unexpectedly gory...which is absolutely AWESOME! And I really liked how Albedo was in full armour, since I also thought she'd be half-naked or such, considering her character. What a lovely touch. And speaking of touch, 'Touch Me' I a hilarious name. I wonder if there's any other users out there... Certainly, this anime is looking pretty solid. Hope it continues to entertain~ |
 |
| A-m-a-z-i-n-g!! The Albedo's armor is so fucking cool! Love it. I can't wait to see her in combat! |
 |
| Going to buy everything overlord related and hopefully everyone will so this gets a second season ! Also...why is this not in top 100 yet !!!!!!!!!! get to work people. |
 |
| Great episode, I'm enjoying the adaptation, very good the scene of Momonga coming out of gate, and also the anime is not saving blood, I thought it might soften some fight scenes, but the battles are really bloodthirsty, I am excited to see more battles and fights to the death .. |
  |
| Well, that was...EPIC! I feel so excited to see the death knight kills those shitty humans lol. This is just good...can't wait for more and would like to read the novel, but I still reading another series at the moment so this series will have to wait a bit. |
 |

|
| At least it was decent. Survive for next week. I was thinking about dropping this. |
| This keep getting better and better. |
| Definitely picking up the pace. Pretty brutal how the knights got killed. I wonder how this will play out in future episodes. |
| A lot of surprisingly nice world building which was nice to see. Happy to see that they really aren't afraid of spilling some blood. Definitely my favourite episode so far. Before this episode I was actually thinking about dropping this show. |
 |
| This has 13 episodes but it's acting like it's Naruto and going sooooo slow so as not to outpace the manga. Hope this doesn't turn into another DanMachi trainwreck. |

Though the full on blood fest is nice, the LN's just felt a lot darker... I actually like his voice, he is surprised at how detached his thinking is when he killed people, so his voice mirrors this lack of emotion. Your specific concern about the scene is warranted, but at the same time that is why adapting is hard work. We all imagine things our own way, but the animation has to make it real (and at the same time condense things). Since I think (having only watched the animation) that his lack of emotions is important for the show, I think is inner monolog while killing people was pretty good. Very good episode, touches the buttons well. No, I wasn't commenting on his lack of emotion, that's perfect. He spoke to the soldiers in a cold manner completely disregarding their feelings and fear. But that was how I felt when reading the LN, the way it played out in this scene his dialogue just didn't feel as imposing. His actions were the same and were handled very well, and the script was the same, but the presentation just didn't feel as awe or fear inspiring... It's absolutely my own personal gripe, though, I can't really lay fault on the anime. |

Well, he clearly shows a range of emotions in other situations, so there is a problem with his lack of emotions with regards to killing. |
Klockan said: 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 Throwing random shit at the viewer from nowhere isn't world building... It is done properly here which is why it is a bit slower. Throwing random shit at the viewer is exactly what this series is doing. It's not proper world building, it's just really the slow (the first 2 episodes that is). With those useless two episodes, they could've gave us more info on this world and it's history. |
| Great episode. Although we didn't get to see albedo in action, just her appearance was awesome. Good development of the MC and approach to the situation. Also, bravo Lord Touch Me |
| Well shit. Didn't expect it to get this graphic. Damn, they got their asses smoked. Can't wait for more. Also, am I the only one who laughs every time they say "Touch Me" ? |
 |
| Finally the anime gets interesting. I'm glad I didn't drop it. |
| Huge improvement from the first two episodes! |
| Brutal and great episode 5/5. I was expecting a better reaction form you guys but I'm disappointed. People's reaction when censored: People's reaction when uncensored: My best anime this season. |

| That undead knight wreaked havoc... Wow. XD And when the scout reported that the village is "surrounded" and the ed song starts playing, i screamed. XD I want more overlord! |

| It's been a fucking long time since I actually can't wait for another episode of an anime. This show is good. |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| Great episode, more violent then expected. This series is much more interesting then I could have hoped for. |
