The sides stories and character are just not interesting enough to hold up a whole episode let alone 5. Its still a pretty decent show by usual seasonal anime standards, but it only actually become good when Ainz or one of the guardians is directly involved.

These episodes set up major events in the final arc to be adapted this season >_> You personally not finding them interesting is a personal problem.

It's the Lizard Man Arc all over again, overstayig their welcome.
4 Episode? really? I'm glad that they did the side story for the first eps but 4 episode for Enri and Nphirea? We don't even got to see a lil bit of Lupus Regina action, shit.

So that will mean 8 eps for the Dark Young Arc (whatever you call it)? Oh shit I hope they didn'r mess that one up by focusing on an even more side charavter.

Slow paced episode, but at the same-time the episode was finished before I even knew it.

This is outright boring. You can't just condense a story that requires at least 100 episodes+ in a mere 39 episodes and call it decent. Huge amount of characters get like 4-5 episodes and then kthxbye.
The only good thing so far is the opening :3

Can we get over this arc with Enri already? It has been great, but I feel like it's overstaying its welcome with this episode. Give us something new to chew!

Thoroughly enjoying this third season so far. I actually marathoned through the entire second season a few weeks ago so I could start watching this one. The slow pace is great and makes it all the better when marathoned IMO. I even liked that lizard arc since I didn't have to wait a week for each episode.

I thought these humans and their village's arc would bore the hell out of me but they give a fresh and different perspective when it comes to battles and stuff like that and it makes me appreciate more how effing strong Ains really is.

Wow, I gotta hand it to Nphirea, his conviction and his action whilst fighting that troll are surely respectable. He redeemed himself from any dumb things he did in the past.

Lupusregina literally chose the last moments to save Nphi. Seeing the power difference is always cool, She literally didn't even flinch holding back that punch!

The only foods I know that will be served to them are lobster and foie gras... Nphi and Enri deserved this, and they deserve to be together.

"Hey everyone! We're about to die!" Well I've never heard anyone admit that before...

Cool strategy of Nphi and Enri taking turns to distract the troll.

An undead troll. I guess Ains planned the fight out for it to crumble when Lupis saved Nphi.

Ains being a gentleman. Earning trust works better than forced labor in the long run!

No he won't. The entire reason he puts her on the list of people Lupus needs to protect is because she rained praise on Nazarick and his friends. Him being an undead has nothing to do with it. Ainz as a person comes from a very dystopian world and he has no family and his only friends were in the game.


That makes sense.
I was just talking about the fact that in the first season, Ainz himself said that he didn't really feel a lot of empathy for humans anymore and was capable of doing things he wouldn't have done in the real world.


Indeed Ainz gives no shit about killing humans or anything as he is now.
But he still has a sense of logic therefore he won't kill with no purpose and also his biggest thing of course is always his love for Nazarick and his memories with his friends.
His so obsessed with that that his undead status actually seems to have made him stuck into that obsession and sentiment instead.

Typically I dislike it when we stray outside of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. But arc's focusing on the village are always welcome, since it truly is an experiment in ruling for Ainz

Momonga managed to test Carne Village's monster preparedness levels and reward them with a cool weapon without making it obvious that it was a hand-me-down at the same time! It's great that no one died but I'm sure that Lupisregina was enjoying Nphri running around and getting swatted like a fly before she stepped in~ I wish that the enemy was at least strong enough to make her use her werewolf form though.

As much as I would love to see Ainz Ooal Gown continue their conquest, I enjoyed watching this side quest reach its completion with Enri and Nphri celebrating their love over a very luxurious dinner. I like it when shows try to expand the world outside of the main characters to make it feel a little more real from time to time. I was a little bit worried about how Momonga might've had some ulterior motives for inviting the three to Nazarick but Nemu's adorableness cleared the air of any tension...or so I hope.

Lovely to see Nphi managed to win the affection of Enri. Even though I appreciate some world building, I hope the episodes thats are coming next will put some focus back on Ainz instead of the sidecharacters.

I guess I was just overthinking about Ainz starting to turn into an evil God. That attack force wasn't really strong and the villagers didn't suffer any casualties. He also gave those goblins a nice gift.

I really am liking the side story that we have so far for this season, very interesting with Nphirea and Enri. Their strategy to distract the troll was pretty cool to see. Looks like Ains planned this so that the allies he had that were fighting the village would die easily to the latter. Nice of him to give them a magic sword now.

He was even a gentleman and invited them to dinner, I guess it’s better to have the trust of people than to make them slaves which is good I think. A great episode to watch even if we are just about to pass this side story and onto the main arc itself, but a great episode nonetheless.

This is a great episode. Got the AOT reference with the troll looking over the top of the wall. Overall, this raid accomplished exactly what Ainz was hoping it would.

I also always love hearing them read the dinner menu. It is well established that the food served in Nazarick far outmatches even the greatest cuisines in the New World. Food made from exotic and rare ingredients and prepared to perfection. Fois gras, scallops, and a frost dragon steak, with Yggdrasil golden apples for dessert?? How ironic that a meal to surpass a noble's greatest expectations and one that anyone would kill to eat, would be enjoyed by 3 kids from a backwater village that those same nobles might look down upon.

Just goes to show that Ainz cares little for the established social norms of this society. All that matters is whether he likes you or not.
