| Pay to play vs npc battle was nice to see. Liked the scene near the end, I'll take it as him realizing that his new family is very much like his guild. Hoping for a second season. |
kyled00m said: I don't believe Ainz is even trying to make friends so why would you bring that up. Safety is the most important thing and Ainz hasn't felt safe since he woke up as his in-game character in Nazarick. This incident with Shalltear has instilled a deep fear in him and I doubt he'll want to make any friends from this point forward... You do not need emotions to make friends, just the desire or determination to make friends. I dont think thats quite true,at first yea he was like that and i was slightly annoyed by how hes always thinking about his guildmates and his safety but hes changing bit by bit! |

Of course theres none "friend-making" moments since hes a ruler,but you can see from his talk with Albedo and how he went to fight Shalltear alone that he truly cares for them and that he thinks of all NPCs that were created by him and his guildmates as if they were his children but as i said he wasnt like that at first but hes changing! |
Warphate said: Because the NPCs of Nazarick are remnants of the other guild members, they all count as family.

What do you mean disregarding NPCs?I was talking about them from the beggining,he clearly doesnt want to make friends with outsiders and they are just stepping stones to him to make himself famous! |
Warphate said: We're on the same page then. Someone who cannot opposed you under normal circumstance and is fanatically loyal to you may as well be your best friend already.kyled00m said: What do you mean disregarding NPCs?I was talking about them from the beggining,he clearly doesnt want to make friends with outsiders and they are just stepping stones to him to make himself famous!Because the NPCs of Nazarick are remnants of the other guild members, they all count as family.

kyled00m said: ]Someone who cannot opposed you under normal circumstance and is fanatically loyal to you may as well be your best friend already. That's not true friendship and is exactly why Ainz feels lonely. |

| While I liked that this had a bit more of an adult tone to it than all of the other "trapped in a game" anime, I've got to say, I was pretty underwhelmed with it overall. It never once felt like Momonga was in any sort of danger, which while understandable with him being such a high level, just about always makes for a rather dull show imo. The last arc, especially the fight, felt dragged out and now that we know Nazarick's NPCs can just be bought back to life with gold, I'm not sure how interesting a second season(if there was one) would be. 6/10 |
| A shame we never got to see Lord Touch Me in all his glory. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |

| Am I to expect a season 2 for this? I wish this had like fate's budget I wonder how this would have turned out. |

| The last few eps were pretty lame, I was all hyped up for Ains first serious encounter, but it was a serious let down. |
 |
| overall it was pretty entertaining bring on season 2 I say |
| What a 'whirlwind' of an anime this has been for me. It introduced me to something special... it's LN... but I still rate this anime highly even after reading ahead in the source material itself. Episode 13 was everything I expected it to be and... probably a little more with the little teasers at the end. I am also so glad they left it OPEN at the end, and didn't butcher it into the dreaded 'anime only ending' some adaptions get... so yeah, Season 2 is still a possibility... even though it hasn't been announced(?) I am glad it ended like this. XD |
 |
| that was an amazing battle so he spent all that money to resurrect her of course the church was behind this mess well let's hope there's a second season |

Darklight0303 said: Reverberate__ said: Great final episode. Sad to see it's over, since I absolutely enjoyed watching this show, although it started kinda weak, but gradually became great, although indeed the pacing was kinda off at some points. Nonetheless, definitely a show I enjoyed this season. 9/10. Hoping for another season. I'll miss Albedo ): Anyone knows how much material was adapted? 3 volumes out of 9 that are out so far Thanks, appreciate it. |

| What was that ending though....how could they end it there and leave us hanging T______T Overall an okay series. At first seems promising but somehow, somewhere... I think it would've helped a lot if it was a longer series, then perhaps the pacing would be better and there would've been more time for development. I would still watch a 2nd season though, i think. Also, would've loved to see the other supreme beings. I wonder if they will appear one day in that world... |

The other supreme beings other than 4 others all quit the game before the transfer to the new world happened. And of the 4 members of Nazarick still in the guild only Herohero aka the slime guy Ainz talked to in episode one, bothered coming online. |
| poor Momonga "Ainz Ooal Gown, Momon" when he remember his oldmates i feel ya bro being alone . Awesome show cant wait for 2nd season !!! |
| how can I even live without this show. I thought this many times, but I will indeed reed the LN. I will probably even buy them (sadly not in engrishu) just for the lulz. This show makes me feel sad about all the virtual comrades I lost during my years of gaming. I totally understand his feeling of beeing left behind. This show does this part so beautiful. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| That was nice i guess.. rushed indeed. I'll wait for season 2! 7/10 |
| So much potential in this show but not fully exploited. :-( Solid 8/10 but I'm sad now. |
| This was a pretty entertaining series, felt a little bit rushed though. |
 |
| Wishing for a Season 2 T___T But Madhouse....TwT |
| I enjoyed a lot watching this series but the only I hate is... just one cour? (I thought they will announce a sequel in the ending) Hope there will be a sequel. |

| Quite true the good ones lack the attention the bad ones get a ton of adaptations damn I sure wish I'd get to see a season 2 of this or better yet a full LN adaptation till the final volume. |

| Definitely one of the best shows of summer, the fight between Shalltear and Ainz was also nicely executed. I haven't read the LN so I can't tell whether it was insanely rushed or not, but I would definitely love to see a S2 of this...otherwise I'll prolly just pick up the LN eventually. 9/10 |

oremor94 said: Did anyone notice that Lupusregina Beta at the end made a mistake by saying that she was sent by Ainz instead of Momon in front of Nfirea, his grandmother, and Enri? I know that Nfirea figured out that Momon was Ainz, but I don't think his grandmother or Enri knew, unless I'm forgetting something? Odds are they revealed it to The gran in the end. After all Ainz didn't go back on his word to bring back her grandson. |
Darklight0303 said: I don't think it mattered either way. It can be interpreted in many ways. As Darklight said, she could have had it revealed to her, or the old lady may believe Ainz has a connection to Momonga. It's more likely possible that the grandson told her after he was rescued.oremor94 said: Odds are they revealed it to The gran in the end.

| Not gonna bother gushing over this show. There really is no need to... Where's that season 2 announcement!?!?! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Not the best battle but better than last episode :) it will be a waste though if there isn't a second season. |
 |
| I have 2 questions that I kindly wish to be answered :3 , 1- What was that eye that appeared behind shalltear when Ainz casted Fallen down ? 2- Did Shalltear get younger after the resurrection that she lost her body development ( boobs ) ? |

Hahaha i see xD, well i knew she used fake breasts but i thought she already knew she didn't have them on since she was, uh, naked xD. One last question, why did she call ainz "shorty" right before she died ? |

| Overlord is one of my favorite this season. Ainz is incredible, always charismatic and powerful, he always planned everything. All the others servant are interesting and seems to be powerful. The songs and the story are catchy, I hope there will be a second season. Great job, Madhouse as usual. |
| ...OVERLORD! |
| An interesting take on the MMO anime genre...at first I had doubts simply because it felt like yet another generic take, but I'm glad it decided to spin it's own path...shitty thing is this is a Madhouse adaption, so I won't even bother getting my hopes up for 2nd season. Pretty good season though |

Darklight0303 said: I agree. From what I have seen so far from these threads, there is just so much more details with the LN version that the anime couldn't portray well. Albedo seems like a really likeable character from that, but in the anime version I straight out dislike her.Pringer said: Such a powerful and beautiful scene Ahh, such fate is the trend that is rushed LN adaptions. Rokka 2.0 will never ever come again, unless it's Rokka season 2 that is. But either way, Overlord better get a second season after the tease at the end of the episode! I miss my Ainz Ooal Gown being a badass. The previous episode was pretty weak but this episode was good. The soundtrack when they talked about the resurrection of Shalltear (best girl) was really good. I think it's the same piece that played when Ainz felt loneliness, right? It accompanied the scene very well imo. Again, season 2 please. |

| I can't believe this shit show has a rating above 5.0, let alone 8.1. The writing was terrible, the characters were awfully pathetic, the story was awful, the animation was shit. |
