Ugh... too bad it was less amusing than I remember it being :/
Still, the episode was a good build up for next week.

Already Half-Way trough the Anime...7 episodes left.

"Wise King of the Forest" Sorry....Just...=§ Please Excuse me...*Shaking Shaking* *Dying on Laugh Around the Corner*

...Sometimes....Sometimes I feel Sorry for Demiurge...when I am not dying on Laughter from the Albedo's and Shalltear's Catfights and Lovely-Lovely acting around Momoga.
Sometime is easy to Forgot that These Guys see Humans as Bugs..and maybe future Slaves? (Depending how they treat countries they conquer, when they start to Plan of World Domination)
Nabe almost spilled the Beans ...

And now to Action part.
Damn Momoga shows us just How Bad Ass he is with just Swords and Armor. Orcs/Goblins/Orges Chose wrong Opponents.

Still loyalty to friends that left...well that is understandable..tough looks like that is somewhat in category of not-Healthy

....Seriously Freaky Psychopath Bitch...This Woman Makes Freed Sellzen looks like good boy..or are they at the same level?

The body pillow scene was pretty hilarious, but honestly this episode was quite tame compared to what this series has previously produced. Hope it steps up the pace next week!

This series would work much better in 50 min OVA format like ISM. You can feel that they are skipping too much. It's a real shame that anime today is only about making season, not telling a story. Overlord seems to be too big for a standard 13/24 treatment.

Wait... if he's a full skeleton, how is he supposed to produce offspring? I know there's a lot of space for boner jokes but really, how?

they're not skipping anything that wasn't slready skipped in the manga(actually the death knight scene i don't remember in the manga being present) in fact, they're taking it veeeeery slowly, in 2 episodes we reach the mangas last chapter, and that's the 7th chapter, really, it actually is going quite slow, slower than the manga.

Ainz's current companions are a pretty dull lot. I hope they soon find some sort of challenge/information that makes this trip worthwhile.

Albedo's 2 minutes of screentime more than made up for it though. Her bodypillow scene was hilarious.

God this anime is bad.

Incredibly slow pacing. There were scenes I literally just skipped because they didn't have any relevance at all.

Then this constant ego stroking of the MC(which obviously is a self insert of the writer). Oh women love him and he is strong and cool and blah, we get it, he is Skelleton Jesus.

And lastly the absolute horrendous exposition talk. The conversations are so awkward and forced.
"Oh I see you are this villain who served X years as this and that and now want to do this and that and ..." FUCK OFF

Just show don't fucking tell me.
He is a necromancer, i get it. He made an army of undead, why do you tell me this, just show the god damn army. Oh he has an orb to make undead, JUST SHOW IT IN ACTION and don't spend minutes explaining it exist.

Ultimately I know how it boils down.
Bad guys do bad stuff. Skelleton Jesus takes them down easily. Next arch.

Argh...

The manga is skipping way too much stuff. I was worried the anime was going to do the same but it's been great. Obviously, you can't adapt EVERYTHING but they haven't shied away from slower, world-building scenes that don't hook the normal audience as much.

The fact that you call him Skeleton Jesus really reinforce that you're not watching the characterization scenes.

This episode showed what an average adventurer group looks like: their interactions, their teamwork, the kind of motivation they have, etc. It also put in context the strength of people like the Head Warrior. Those guys were the average, iron plate adventurers, much stronger than the average human but still nowhere near Momon whom they considered on the level of Gazef.

The "Momon is attractive to women" scene is clearly set-up. Nfirea even says WHY that bothers him. Would you prefer that comes out of nowhere when the relevant scene comes up?

We heard Clementine motivation last week, now we get Khaj. We also see a bit of what they can do.

Overlord makes a point of having real characters with depth in a world with its own history before the MC came along. If all you want are big flashy fights then yeah, it might not be the best serie for you.

Clementine's VA is perfect :O
She's the former 9th strongest of the slane theocracy XD



Those ogres and goblin have to be level 5 or something, cause they were pathetic :(
Looks like the old guy wants to do a race or class change, since he will become immortal if he does the ritual.

Oh My God, I love this series so much! Maybe I am just too captivated by it, but I don't care how slow paced it is.. I appreciate everything they show and Ainz is really great in his own role :D to think that all the time the MC needs to play his role, because he isn't accustomed to this..
And the only thing I wouldn't like is, if they don't bring out a second season!

BTW. Can somebody tell me where I can find and read the Novel?! I really want to see the original source.. That would calm me down xD

I don't think the volumes have been officially released in english yet. If you search Skythewood translations you'll find a fan-translation that covers the first five volumes at this point.

Too many ugly CG in this episode. Albedo is already thinking of having kids, I think what she needs to do first is to check if Ains even has a penis.

I love everyone complaining about the pace. Complain about the modern industry only awarding 13 episodes and cliffhangers rather than the pacing.
Still a pretty good adaptation, just cutting out some of the detail in the dialogue and fights. Swords of Darkness really have no clue who they're hanging out with! xD
Nabel messed up though dropping a name. Clementine though, who doesn't love a cute sadist?

i think i read somewhere on the wikia that there seems to be only one human in the nazarick's tomb, and that he/she(can't remember) was actually immortal, so what i gathered from that is that being immortal doesn't change your actual race, but definitely does change how everyone else will think of you, to the point that you (the one who became immortal) won't be seen as human anymore even though you technically are.


btw while what i said it's spoiler there were like only two lines about this character on the wiki so i guess it wasn't really important, just something to add about what you just said.

From all the game anime this one must be my least favourite. The story is waaaaay all over the place, but I give it a point for the body pillow scene.


Its pretty simple, momon's main goal is to spread the name of ainz ool gown throughout the world by turning momon into a hero by raising his rep and gathering information on this new world he is in.

He over prepares and doesn't know how strong he is in the world. That is all I can say without spoiling anything.

Albedo continues to be best girl. I feel bad for her, though, because I don't think Momonga has any equipment down there. How are they going to have kids together?


I really like the crew Momonga's hanging out with lately. They're a nice bunch, which makes me worry that they're all going to die.

Hm...what can I say about this episode?....It's so meh.
Nothing really happen...and when they talk about the Virtuous King of the Forest...was hoping Momonga and the King of the forest would fight, but nope...
Well, it's not like I don't like what is going on, but feel that they seem to drag it out longer than expected.
Hopefully to see Momonga and Virtuous King of the Forest fight in next episode.

Interesting episode, Momo joining a team could be interesting if he stays mostly in the background.
Dat Pillow was funny, Albedo really wants the B of Momonga.
The crazy bitch got a really cool voice, not the standard high pitched girl.
The new characters are all very interesting but I fear the guys will die very soon.
Oh yeah, who else thought about this guy when they mentioned "Black Knight" ?

This series delivered once again. It really sucks that it's only 13 episodes but I guess we can be hopeful for a continuation. (yeah right lol)

Well, this isn't meant to be a 13 episode series, there's a source with far more content. Far better to see a slow and paced 13 episode show that sticks to the source then a 13 episode show that tries to cram in far too much content. Sadly, the anime industry today often only allows for those two extremes.
