| Hah... fair enough. But yeah, coming across really serious and having something like LotGH as an avatar is just funny personally lol |

 |
| It didn't feel rushed. It was ok. Probably Overlord is going to end with a teaser of Vol 4 since we get some hints in the OP. |
| Well that was an episode, probably don't need to mention it felt rushed. Wish the fight with brains was better Shaltears design felt off but i suppose that's opinion. I mean according to the comments i'm just going to hope this sets the pace for a better final 3 episodes, fingers crossed. |
 |
| Meh. |
 |
| Shalltear's monster form is so nasty haha...I prefer her human like form better. Brain just run off like a chicken, well if it was me I would do the same. It's seem kind of rush, no? So the person that use mind control on Shalltear got kill, but she was still being control? Hm...those people that face off with Shalltear are not normal, maybe they are player just like Momonga? |
 |
| Daamn shalltear.. please keep your prettier face on D: I wasn't prepared for such monstrosity. Seeing the reason for why she turned side was interesting, now they just need to find her and figure out some way to remove it. It must be a pretty serious enemy though if it's strong enough to mind control one of Ains subordinates. |
| You guys do know that the author of the novel is involved in making the anime right? Why always blame Madhouse? |

Because being involved doesn't mean he had a complete say in everything that happened. I can name a number of anime where the original creator was involved and it still turned out to have shitty parts in the anime. Key parts are there. It's the minor shit people are complaining about and i won't fault them for it...because i did it to Fate/Stay Night UBW |
 |
| Well Shalltear's gone crazy, but apparently the anime rushed it. Just go beat some sense into her Ains! Or kill her even, Albedo's far superior anyway. :D |
| Damn, I thought this was one of the better episodes 'cause the pacing felt a little better, but looking at some of these comments, they apparently rushed through a lot, so now I'm thinking I would have preferred it to have its usual pacing as slow as it is some times. Quality > Quantity |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| If one thing Shalltear's design in monster mode was pretty on point. I felt disgust for real |
 |
| What happened to the blonde girl's nipples? Albedo is back. That's all I care about. |
hlubkoj2020 said: Hm...those people that face off with Shalltear are not normal, maybe they are player just like Momonga? Nah, players wouldn't get one shotted like trash :) and shalltear wasn't supposed to take out her weapon :( only fire off that attack at the end. that's why all of them retreated cause they thought she was just a monster with no good equipment, and could leave her be. |
 |
| Just watched it and also can confirm it has rushed.. but one of the first episodes where someone of the stronger members got in trouble! Considering Shalltear.. still like her most out of the subordinates Even if i would wish her other Form to be non existent i can accept it due it makes sence because that's what she actually is inside.. Solution was interesting aswell.. hope for some more Maids in the last few Episodes Would like to see Entoma.. but her real Form is even worse than Shalltear afaik and let clementine make a comeback in this season! |

I remember this kind of comments when the Harry Potter movies came out, why would I invest myself in reading a book only to sour an otherwise pleasant experience? Madness I say. |

Your taste in Anime is shit. Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad. How sad. |
| well... 4 eps for this arc... interesting. |
| I didn't read the manga, so I can't really say if they rushed anything. But it didn't seem that way to me. I'm guessing they'll explain what happened next episode. But compared to the other episodes I think this one was just as good. |
| A curve including all entries should be of a gaussian form. One including limited entries by picking animes you liked and not rating animes you dropped should look like mine. Amount of total animes each rating should have (percentages): 6-25,7-15,8-6,9-3,10-1  |
| Terrible pacing.With the exception of ep9, this adaptation has been so half-assed. For example, who would have realize that everything that happened in this episode occurred at the same time as Ainz and Narb's adventuring/confrontation with Clementine and Khajiit? The least they could've done was put something like "ONE DAY PRIOR" at the start of the episode. It's like the anime committee team are following a list of scenes that they have to animate and dialogue they have to include but remove all the nuances and characterization. The scenes they do include lack any sort of tension or atmosphere, especially obvious in this episode. And Ainz barely feels like a character when 90% of his monologues on his thoughts and motivations are removed. The best comparison I can give is the adaptation of the first two Harry Potter movies. Not terrible but just mediocre that accurately follows the book but lacks any of the "magic" that made the books enjoyable to read. |

| More members of Nazarick comes to prominence, and in this episode Shalltear and Solution proved to be quite dangerous, I'm looking forward to seeing the battles to come next episodes .. |
  |
| I have to admit this episode was kinda boring. These events just came out of nowhere and don't seem to make much sense. Given the overall quality of episodes 3-9, this was unexpected. We'll probably some fun stuff again before this series is over, so I'm not too worried about it. It'd be great to have another season though, since there's clearly more than enough content for that. |
AppoX said: Shalltear or whatever you call her is annoying, at least she sort of establishes some sort of grey morality of Nazerick despite her being essentially the only one who cannot be considered 'angelicly good' although nobody else seems like anything other than super good people (except racism against humans) out of Nazarick. Well thats good, the closer to the grey area of morality the protagonist's side is the better (too much evil is also bad). I can only hope there will be enemies that are something else rather than 'satan incarnates' from last episode Throwing response in a spoiler just in case people don't want to see it. ^^ |
| Just curious, but can you tell if an episode is rushed if you haven't read the original material of the show? |
| Crazy episode, tons happened. |
 |
| One major thing about this anime that I dislike is how overpowered protagonist and his group is. Can someone challenge them even slightly? We have seen 10 episodes of the enemies being embarrassed. Just once I would love to have a Goku arrives on Namek to face the Ginyu force domination moment on here. The main character's cast of misfits are waaay to comfortable. |
| Im not sure what you guys are expecting, there are like nearly no episodes to work with. They made the best of what they got. They cant put everything in that a novel has. Like being reasonable, if it was 24 episodes maybe you can expect that, but not from 13 episodes. |

Like being reasonable, if it was 24 episodes maybe you can expect that, but not from 13 episodes. They knew they had only 13 episodes and made vol.2 5 episodes, and even with 5 episodes they failed to deliever substances and even one episode was wasted to show one battle while skipping many things. 5 episodes or 100 minutes is enough time to deliver a decent story whether source material is hundreds pages long or not. To me, action was the weakest part of Overlord as it was as dull as "reading" MMORPG battle log. The substances were politics, characterizations, character interactions. And with vol.2 finally being over, they do this. Feed more action to audience and they won't complain eh? |

Of course action is the weakest part of Overlord, because the volumes being adapted also have the least number of action! The only big exception is the one coming up next. Heck there's as many "action" in vol 6 ALONE than in the first 5 volumes! And the first 5 have to thank the lizardmen to match vol 6. |

| i cant help but imagine how pissed off shalltear is going to be when she comes to her senses... |
DawnJ said: To me, action was the weakest part of Overlord The first real fight is coming up now, all the previous ones weren't fights. And Clementine and the guys from this ep. deaths not being shown also puts a big damper on things. |

It's not about original LN having action parts, but about which to focus on by allocating more time as an adaptation with limited time. ichii_1 said: The first real fight is coming up now, all the previous ones weren't fights.

I enjoyed battles in vol.4 much more. |

| *sigh* Why do the two most attractive looking female characters in this show (Albedo and Shalltear) have to be creepy as fuck? What a waste, really Well, it's not that important though, this show is still very good with or without them It would be nice to see Sebas fighting, he is the coolest character in the show, even cooler than Momon who is also badass. |

| i'm great madhouse put unintersting chapter into one episode even though make it fast pacing i'm ok with it decent episode btw. |
| I wonder what happen to Shaltear. Dammit. Cliffhanger. Why can't it be next week already. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

entropy13 said: Oh so you want to focus on the action? Then this episode will be Brain using all of his Martial Arts (he has around 5 used in this part of the LN iirc), and even after using a lot of variations in combinations, order, position, etc, the results are the same. In other words, unless you want to be quite technical about it, there really is not much action to begin with. I don't know what mames you think I want action from this. They already skipped important and not-so-important things alike, and for vol.2, one of 5 episodes is fully dedicated just to feed actions to audience (doesn't matter it happened in LN or not), and fuck up the pacing of vol.3. They will rush to the final battle (which is going to take one episode for sure) with this skiptrain. Bad move. |

| I have not read the manga. The previous episode ended the story arc with Clementine and the Wizard guy, it was very well resolved and ended climactically , good episode... but then we have episode 10 which is a complete pile of nonsense. I keep reading posts saying it was "Rushed", but it felt like the pacing was atrocious ... we already knew something was wrong with Shalltear and it took the entire episode to basically tell us "She got in a fight, something went wrong", there was almost no world-building or character building during the episode, so we spent the better part of a full episode just doing nothing, watching Shalltear kill defenseless humans. I was not impressed... though I liked that we finally got to see her fight, it didn't matter because no one she fought was a threat , or at least no one was presented as a threat making it kind of filler. This has been the worst episode. Edit: Holy shit, there are so many spoilers in this thread about future episodes, I greatly regret having read through the posts.... I will never make that mistake again. |

| Not bad. |
 |
| i knew many of LN reader disappointed because the anime didn't adapt from LN properly but this thread became LN discussion and full of spoiler for future episode. Anime watcher only is gonna have a hard time to post and read the anime discussion because of that. |
