| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was kinda interesting. We get action with a lot of pain and blood. Poor Gazef ....and he gets set up in a trap. And again, I liked how Madhouse depicted the violence for the episode. Climatic moment is when Momonga kicked major ass wit his abilities. And to be honest, I thought it was quite impressive. That black hole ability though...and this transformation. Holy hell...  |

| Aaannnd let the misunderstanding begin! Pity it wasn't shown what was done to the Slane Theocracy mages. I'm hoping they'll show it later on but I suppose that level of gore and violence is not suitable for TV. For that matter, seems like a lot of smaller important details were left out. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a bad episode. Just a lot more shounen-fied with the omissions, which I understand in a visual medium like an anime but ... I'm a bit disappointed. |

| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |

But it wasnt shown what they did to the mages in the ln either right? wasnt it like 'be quiet and you will die painless' and then the ln goes to gazef and the village? Forgetting the Neuronist scene shift eh |
| I was going make a webm of the epic battle scene but more than half the episode is one amazing battle. 10/10 episode. |

Ashford_Thunder said: Guy, don't forget that there is an extra chunk after ED this episode, make sure you don't miss it. :D Ohohoh really? |
| at least madhouse didn't cut whole battle scene if only angels have blood vessel. some detail can still explain at one time with next arc. |
| The death knight last episode got me more excited tbh. Kind of a letdown again. Ains is a bit too OP for my taste, i hope that changes soon. |
| Well that was pretty much a one sided slaughter, but still fun to watch! :D |
| Ains Ooal Gown showing how OP he is against Captain Nigun and his forces. Hopefully a stronger enemy appears soon... |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |

| I knew Ains wasn't a complete heartless bastard to just let Gazef die. The moment he appeared before Nigun and his armies, it was all over for them. Pretty hilarious how he one-shotted even their strongest trump card. Friggin' OP AF! Smudy said: Ains is a bit too OP for my taste, i hope that changes soon. Well, he's an Overlord after all. I wouldn't expect any less of him. |
 |
| People hoping the OP'ness train ever stops. Oh you adorable innocent little lambs. |
Smudy said: The death knight last episode got me more excited tbh. Kind of a letdown again. Ains is a bit too OP for my taste, i hope that changes soon. Ainz's OPness has just begun. They didn't explain it perfectly but that Angel at the end was supposed to be legendary in strength. And since Gazef is supposed to be the strongest swordsman in his Kingdom, don't really go hoping for many stronger people :P I wish they left in the explanations for Slaine's six scriptures and the weapons and the stuff about the Demon lord...etc That was some awesome world building in the LN... Oh well, it is possible they can add it later on. I liked this ep anyway, Ainz owning those guy like that was so much fun. Utterly destroyed! Loved the VAing. Ainz's evil laugh and Nigan's fear shitting his pants was depicted really well. Props to Koyasu ^^ |
 |
| Albedo's face was like a happy puppy after the fight lol |
 |
| Hmm So Ains is op in this World not surprised and if they consider that Angel to be a god legendarily monster..there are not going to be much of enemies that can truly go against him....Ains has the capability of using Rank 10 mangic + Overrank magic....That Angel was just a rank 7 or equviliant ot a level 60 monster going against Ains who is a level 100 monster. so yeah the only real threat to Ainz or Nezerick in general is either they meet with another fully level player who was also transported from yggdrasil into this world...or go against a level 100 or above monster or NPC which again is almost unlikely. I find the concept rather curious though cause unlike SAO or LH were you had players trapped or transported into the game world...this world is a world entirely different that is in reverse. which is that Things that were in the game world are being transported into the real world....in which case is not earth but another world entirely. That already shows the difference between those two as well as the huge amount of violence and gore and the different characters and there traits...so i wish people could stop comparing this to that...they are different. |
| Another great episode. The legend of Ains Ooal Gown has just begun, friends. I wish it could have been pointed out just how powerful that Angel was. That thing was capable of destroying the Demon Lords in this world's past. Supposed to be an entity of unrivaled strength capable of using magic that is beyond human capability and largely knowledge. An absolute trump card the Slaine Theocracy had to use. And Ains took it's attack while laughing. I love this series. The after ED scene, though. Nazarick, please, begin your conquest! >:D |
 |
| Gazef's fight was really cool, really really nice, I don't know how to describe it but the balance and execution in that fight was just perfect, I hope we get more badass human characters like him or that he shows up again. Didn't know MC was this OP so it got kinda exciting, and he probably hasn't shown the full extent of his power at all yet so I imagine fights later on will still be pretty exciting when the enemy start becoming stronger (if they become stronger). Alas, next episode will probably be boring. |
 |
| I had goosebumps. 5/5 Want to see someone actually challenging Ains. But this is probably going to be a lot later in the series. |
| THAT WAS AWESOME!! I love Momonga, or should I say, Ains Ooal Gown. He is so op, but it's so amusing to watch him, damn. Albedo is awesome too, especially when she goes full yandere mode, like she did at the end. |
| Oh Albedo. You always complete the show with your love for Momonga. |
 |
| a bit disappointed because Albedo wasnt allowed to have fun :D can someone post a picture of her reaction after the battle? :D |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Wow this was better than I expected, the only sad part was not being able to see the animation about what happened to Nigan. Gazef was outstanding to see, he is such great bastard charging towards the enemy. 6/5 will watch again. |
 |
| Yes.Brutality was only censored little...blood was flowing and brutality was showing! Oh, that Head priest...talk arrogantly like that...but when Momoga/Ainz is going to arrive....well, I think things that you are going to start to say are more like of the Begging!!! XD The Massacre Starts...X) X3 Pissed off wrong Person...Village is under Ains/Ainz protection and they tried to slaughter them. Bye-Bye Slane Theocracy Soldier-Priests. ...Lol...The Momoga's reaction to So called "Strongest Angel" ...this low level Weakling Angel caused me to get under Guard? lol...I think he got pissed off when it was revealed...O_O ...tough I think Albedo was Even More Pissed off...damn her Reaction of Ainz taking damage...those Poor Bastards...may their God be merciful their Souls...because Ainz and Co will not and this is World Domination Conquest Start..at least for Guardians and underlings...I wonder what kind king would Ains Be...cruel to humans? |

| I was expecting Madhouse to animate a bit of what happened to Nigun. Maybe it is too much information for one episode. I hope they will explain somehow next episode. Loved Albedo reactions. |
| Damn...Albedo doesnt even need facial expressions to express her feelings so clearly.... She pretty much lost her shit after the fight tho...Definitely AOTS for me...Its like a not-boring Log Horizon |

| Wow. I knew that Ains Ooal Gown would be OP, but I didn't expect him to annihilate those Slane theocracy guys while laughing. The execution of that entire scene, especially Ains' insanely awesome powers, was magnificent, and I like how it left it to the audience's imagination what Ains did to those guys after defeating their trump card with such ease. That scene after the credits was pretty cool as well. |
Warbandit18 said: Few of the things that happen to them is explained a bit later but I cant post here cause spoilers.Darklight0303 said: Forgetting the Neuronist scene shift eh mm ok but they only said he was send to the neuronist and the frozen prison. Nowhere was depicted what happened to them in detail only that Ainz wanted to do expirements with the corpses. If they left that out that is a pretty dumb mistake cause it gets repeated in later volumes. I think its around Vol.3 or 4 when they talk about it again. Anyways great episode, ln fans were waiting for this fight to come. The adaption is sticking to whats necessary imo. No need to waste even a minute of a 13 episode adaption on mindless gore. |

| I lol'ed at Albedo's reaction after the fight, That praise by her was great. The episode is so far so good, Damn Ains Ooal Gown is a literally God. Even that high ranked Angel can't do shit to him. I hope the next episode is going to better than his. |

Paulo27 said: OpalMidge said: What is there to misunderstand?Aaannnd let the misunderstanding begin! Demiurge misunderstood Papa Bones' intentions. He told all the other Guardians that Ainz wants world domination when he was joking when he said it. Ha ha. Ainz never thought he would be taken seriously.

| i usually hate the OP mcs but since that is the point i wont complain |
Vudis said: royaldocks said: If I remember correct he was talking about it beingI have never read the LN but how many fucking Spells does Papa Bones have ? damn... how is that even possible in a MMo lol ? But I guess in their MMo its normal to have hundreds of spells |
royaldocksJul 28, 2015 10:59 AM
| Momonga had a nice ring to it. Ains is okay though I guess. |
| wish albedo was a more interesting character and not just obsessed with ains pretty good episode. |
royaldocks said: Vudis said: If I remember correct he was talking about it being damn... how is that even possible in a MMo lol ? [spoiler]Actually the max spells a normal player could learn was 300. However yes thousands of spells did exist close to 6000. Ains due to a special skill he could learn up to 718. According to the wikia anyhow but I'm fairly confident in this info.[/spoiler Fun tip |
