That magic caster is dead. What actually nearly controled Shaltear was the World Item she had aka that white china dress. I mean you expect a skinny old lady to come out alive after being brutally impaled by Shaltear's last minute attack?

"Battle" was a bit underwhelming, but it was great to see reaction of imperial soldiers. I can't wait for next week. Would be great if we also got sequel announcement.

hahaha, great episode. I enjoyed it. Don't see why so many people are bitching about the CGI. Maybe yall just expect too much for something that most of you are getting for free anyways. Also in my opinion the CGI does not bother me one bit; the story and characters are what I'm more interested in.

But damn, that was some bad CGI, pretty much ruined one of the best novel moments.

Fucking Madhouse, they used their budget on other shitty titles and butchered the best scene out of the whole novel madly with with this painfull-to-watch CGI.

Well it was alright I guess? I mean the CGI looked horrible and the "splat" everyone was talking about for weeks was disappointing but at least we didn't see any irrelevant characters doing irrelevant things. Still nothing that would make me raise my score and I doubt the last episode will do so. They should've stopped after season 1.

I feel like crying right now...
CGI was horrible

Everyone was looking forward to that one scene, told me to wait and accept the shitty CGI of the last episodes ("Believe us, it's only to save Money for that scene!") ... but damn. Madhouse blew it. I srsly want Overlord S4, but not with that animation..
BTW...the goat-Sound was somehow unfitting? I mean the Sound itself...sounded like it's a sample you get for free if you search for Soundeffects on Google

Was the budget too low?
I seriously hope they are going to fix it(Animation/CGI) for the BluRay-Release..

Story/Plot of the Episode was amazing, the End too
What a foolish Guy would request a Duel with Ainz?!

This was ... just shoddy.

To do these scenes justice, you'd have to employ some Akiyuki Shinbou's signature weirdness (which was an art style developed specifically because it's cheap, but would be perfect for a scene like this).

On a side-note, if someone is interested in a scenario of two armies, one from a kingdom composed of massive peasant levies vs. a force of professional soldiers, check this out:

Wasn't he dead?
I mean, I don't remember it perfectly, but I'm pretty sure that Shalltear killed him at the same time he used the world item, that was why Shalltear was there, static.

That's treated very differently as an OVA where the animators are given complete freedom of time. Higher budget, no TV censorship, and each episode took like near a year to release. Yes... Hellsing Ultimate took over half a decade to finish. This is different. If this was made into an OVA, guarantee you the complaints would be nonexistent and the animation would be admirable...problem is is it would take years to finish. This is just a rushed product.

Anyone who has played Mount and Blade knows the feeling of the ctrl+alt+F4 cheat. Just watching an army charge you and then they all suddenly collapse onto the ground.

Admittedly, the goat things were a lot larger than I expected and a lot less wild than I expected. It was kind of disappointing.
Ay nice another mount and blade fan, i personally use ctrl+f4 and ctrl+x lol. Still waiting for bannerlord XD.

Honestly, i totally forgot. Somehow I'm under the impression that Ainz is constantly searching for Yggdrasil player that controlled Shalltear because he's afraid someone could convert his guardians.. I guess i must redownload & rewatch S1. Which episode, if i may ask?

Look in episode 10.
And to clarify, Ainz is not activly searchinf for the ones who controlled Shalltear, he just takes precautions in case it hapens again; but that dosent mean he will not kill the ones who did it if he finds out.

The CGI complaints does make me think how it would be like with 2D hand drawn animations. I assume the effects in CGI do match what was written in the LN?

I like the ending scene where the Head Knight challenge Ainz to a duel but that's about it.

super glad to have stopped reading the comments in each chapter, LN readers always spoiling, shiting on the anime adaptation or overhyping ... well the soldier part was exactly what I was expecting (reaaally bad, Kingdom S1)

but the magic cast and how 70,000 people just fell flat was terrifying and then he took his mask and asked the applause while the goats were STOMPING and one went for him (which I found better than most CGI used on the series, the death knights or armor goblins didn't look as good as those goats, the sounds really was lit and gave the feel of Lovecraft)

last moment felt super sad, 'cause Gazef was a great and cool looking character, and most of all him being the subordinate of Ainz would allow the Kingdom to not get f*cking erased!! ffs! you would sacrifice your soul for your King, you prefer to die a dumb death and let 170,000 + the kingdom and your KING to be killed, reaaally?!

Im always so confused of what to think about Overlord. The show has always been about Ainz being a ridiculously overpowered literal god-tier badass. This episode alone VERY quickly took the crown of being the #1 "one-sided beatdown / slaughterfest." This episode makes Hellsing Ultimate look wimpier than a pre-school girl. Yeah, we all knew the battle was going to be a massacre, but goddamn, they were still able to display it in an awesome and shocking manner. The whole kingdoms army shat themselves the instant they saw Ainz's aura. BUT THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME COIN, this is legitimately by far the worst 3D CGI animation my eyeballs have ever witnessed. This makes Berserk 2016 look like a fuckin animated masterpiece in comparison, its that bad. Im not even a "CGI hater." Im able to enjoy stuff like Knights of Sidonia without being bothered by the animation. But this past season of Overlord has been gut-wretchingly ugly. On of the few times I ever experience "so bad its funny."

Here's to hoping they redraw the scenes for the blu-ray release. I seem to recall them doing a little bit of that for the first season, but this seems like it's going to require a lot of extra work.

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT At last... The war massacre has begun and Ainz has finally used another different super-tier magic! One that kills 70000 human soldiers just for the mother of darkness to release 5 giant tentacle mouth monster thing.

Those tentacle mouth things are literally creatures of nightmares! Seeing it alone is enough to make those soldiers run shitless. And fighting them is quite impossible. This will surely make those human consider who's the greatest danger (in this case, it's Ainz) and as the Emperor hoped and as Demiurge predicted, the humans will combine to fight against Nazarick rather than each other. How will the plan go from then on...

Gazef: Oh no those creatures are impossible to kill what should I do?! Oh alright! Let's fight the guy who summons them instead!

Humans fight if they have a CHANCE to prevail. After what Ainz showed, no they don't. The only ones who MIGHT are the theocracy. THe Kingdom is literally broken in this battle. The Holy Kingdom have to contend with constant Beastmen raids on their border walls so they're not gonna do anything even if they'd want to.

You need to understand that unlike most fantasy settings, humanity is really not the top dog in any shape or form.

That would be the smartest things to do for them, well anyway. It'll be cool to see Ainz teaching some lessons to those who still have the guts to resist him/go against him. In this case... Gazef

The theocracy is lucky Ainz doesn't know they're the ones behind what happened to Shaltear. If that info reached his ears they would be wiped off the face of the world with ease.
