College students aren't the busiest people in the world. Actually, I find it easier to focus on my work if I have something to watch on the second screen. Preferably something even more boring than work. |

| I loved the first season when it first came out, but after this episode I'm afraid it isn't gonna be that good. A lot of scenes felt like they had no reason for being in the episode? Still hopeful for next episode though. |

hithummah said: This episode didn't feel like a season's pilot but rather as episode 0 with all that exposition and world introduction. Lack luster I would say, but again Overlord already has an establish huge fanbase and doesn't need to start with a bang. AdrianRubinsky said: Nothing really happened yet. Let's see how the lizard arc will be animated. I didn't like that Iguva doesn't look creepy. In the novel, it has a partialy decomposed body. In the anime, he's bones only. It is more closer to a comedy character when he speaks. at least they weren't CG like the skeletons in S1. I mean look at their skin's scales, that should cost more budget than three episodes of DBS. This ^^ Honestly, the episode felt underwhelming and felt like an exposition episode than anything else. Characters are introduced without much background so newcomers will only know the main ones. Finally, I think i am probably the only one annoyed by albedo's attitude. She is just too creepy. Still, she goes from obsessive to all business at the drop of a hat. All of the servants and guardians seem to have some sort of weird fetish or complex. Well except for most of the men, they seem to be the normal ones. |
| Bit of a boring episode, but it's been a while since we've been back; so sort of a mini recap isn't bad way to start the new season. Albedo is still as fine as ever. The first season of Overlord was decent, but I've never been able to understand all the hype around it. The first season was kind of all over the place and it had multiple characters that the show wanted us to care about but ended up killing abruptly and then acting like they didn't matter at all. Hopefully season 2 improves on this. |
| Great episode. Felt good to return to this series and its characters. Although most of it was set up for whats to come I did enjoy the show taking its time to remind us of some things from the first season. Also Albedo top waifu as usual <3 Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Looks like a lot of characters will be introduced based on the opening theme :D been a while since I last researched the series so can't remember most of them :P |

Nordhammer said: Fnights said: I'm wondering, what's happen to the body of the MC in the real world? The parents try to wake him up or they send him to the hospital to keep alive like in SAO? Is explained in the novel this part or is just omitted? Neither. Both the light novel and web novel have not touched upon that.The author does keep somethings under wraps for future use. I see, very odd choice, thanks you. |

| Contrary to a lot of other opinions in this thread I found this episode to be very underwhelming. I get that you need to set the stage, but I've always been a strong advocate in action/adventure shows that if you need exposition to tell your story you are doing it wrong. As the genre suggests you should be telling your story through action and adventure, not through a bunch of dialogue. Also contrary to popular opinion, the Albedo love shtick goes on for WAY too long. It just feels like padding now. |
| Albedo is love. Albedo is life. I've missed her. |
| I wonder, there has been a few people who said that the lizards where not on the first season and are surprised that they appeared now. (It seems some people here didnt watch the last episode of season 1 if they dont know anything about the lizardmen) So, until second episode of season II arrives, I ask, did anyone besides me noticed that the lizardmen appeared on season 1 opening? |

| Glad to see this show back again. I re-watched S1 a couple weeks ago, so i'm pretty stoked. The first episode introduced a lot of new characters, and left me a bit confused in the beginning, but i'm sure it will all iron out in coming episodes. |
| The ring, again, a great item!!!! kekeke |

The dragon used his remote controlled armor to fight shalltear, it's just a passing mention. There's no timeskip, the evil the dragon was talking about is ainz. |
 |
| Missed Albedo & Shalltear. The first 5-6 minutes, I felt a bit disconnected since didn't remember/know any of those characters. So was kinda eh about that exposition. But afterwards, got pretty decent. Didn't like the OP. May get used to it as I hear it more. The ED was really nice though. Also enjoyed how the episode ended. Was kinda dark and spooky. |
| Is this not a winter anime? Episode 2 seems to be either late on purpose or delayed? |

| Picking up where it left off last season. Still a pretty average series. |
  |
| Lots of new faces in this first episode. Not that much action, but it was also nice seeing all those folks again. Albedo is still as fun to watch as always ^^ |
| I now remember why i like this show so much. Really good firs episode. Albedo is babe <3. :) |

| woah, new stories and characters. |
| Nice world building episode we get a dragon who will most likely be a problem and the kingdom chick who was crazy in the beginning was interesting. They also amped up the animation from last season and it looks quite nice. |

| ...and a shipload of characters shows up. *sighs* He's also back to strategy and planning which I'm always eager to hear. Lots of new questions aside from the unanswered old ones but I'm glad this is back for season two. I really appreciate the author's grateful message in the episode's end. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Yes, yes was a little boring, but this is the style of this anime series!!! I suppose for the context advance for "something" that has to come!!!! |
| The new season is looking good already. There's so many new characters! |
 |
| It was great to see Ains again along with the gang. I am so excited for what's to come, especially who casted that spell on Shalltear to lose control in the 1st season. |

Are they former players of that game, too? And did the Dragon use the World item on Sheltear? Also, they mentio that the rubik cube was brought there 600 years ago. Whats up eith that? |

Whats up eith that? They aren't but know about players and the system, I don't think they know it was a game though. No he just fought shalltear for a bit then retreated after seeing her strength. The rubic cube was something other players from long ago left, the whole player thing hasn't been relevant yet even in the novels. |

| I miss Albedo's feeling towards him. Not bad for the start but I kinda forgot what happens from season 1, rip. |

| It was a nice episode, I'm glad it got a sequel, even if it's not one of my favorites. I guess this is for the Overlord fans that are also furries, eh? Furry fanservice: That design choice really surprised me haha. |
| The opening is awesome! Just like the first opening, the amount of hype they give is high. And just like the first opening, there are some battles shown from the future chapters/episodes. There are some new characters from the light novel/manga, however, I don't know who the heterochromia lady playing the Rubix cube is... |

| Kind of felt a bit jumbled at the start by throwing a bunch of characters out there in the first 5 minutes. I wish they would have at least saved one of those three scenes (probably the dragon one) for later in the series. Otherwise, not much to say. So begins the Lizardmen heroes arc...well, it was always my least favorite volume along with 8, but we'll see how well it's adapted. (I'm watching dub, btw). |

| Holy shit that was awesome. I knew I shouldn't watched this now and just wait for it to finish airing. Dammit. |
 |
| The convo between PDL and Rigrit was a flash forward scene? |
| after watched 1 eps looks hype! especially in the ed song was great. two thumbs to MADHOUSE for season 2 of this anime~ |

| Wait....wut.. I re-watched this episode but saw a flashback of Tsa (Blue Dragon) fighting Shalltear...when did that happen?? As far as i know, Shalltear got hypnotized by Black Scripture and that's it. When did she fight Tsa? |
| I heard this season will focus more on the world around Momonga rather than Momonga himself and honestly I'm excited to watch it and learn about the world. It's definitely a more direct way of doing world building, but I'd rather learn of the world through episodes about it's inhabitants rather than long and drawn out exposition dumps also I've missed this Albedo greatness |
