Man... madhouse just doesn't disappoint, even if it's the rehashed setting, they found a way to really peak my interest. 1 episode and I already like it.

A little slow, but otherwise it was alright.

So sad when the game server shuts down. I've stayed on when that happened before. :(

Either the author forgot about this fact or everyone that ever tried to raid his guild was just some low lv scrub.

[spoiler] The guardians were designed by momongas guildmates in a specific way to utilize the enviorements of their respective floors to wear down multiple invaders.While they certainly have high stats it can not be considered their main strength.They are not the "boss" types you are thinking of.Heck one of the guardians is even intended to be killed so that it can give off a specific debuff. Nazaricks strength lies in traps, but they are indeed all armed with OP equipment and items same as momonga.

Nice start. I've been looking forward to a non-romantic, video game world turns into something real themed anime. Momonga seems to be a great MC with that skeleton avatar and tipical antisocial personality.

Dropping this after the first episode, while watching I couldnt wait for it to be over, its just cringey when it comes to the premise so far, the MMORPG-style dialogue about levels and spells and MP and the in-your-face fanservice with Albedo, not to mention the visuals look just awful, starting with the 90s colour design, then the awful particles, choppy animation (including the 3D CGI one, pro-tip: select all keyframes and press the spline button) and also the character design which looks like a 10-year old me did it. I know its an MMO world, but really? I think Im gonna watch SAO, because compared to this, its probably gonna be a masterpiece.

What I hate is that they had to make Albedo some stupid fawning submissive bitch. Not interested in her at all. Best girl? Don't make me fucking laugh.

The premise is very SAO-esque and wouldn've been better if they provided a more interesting female lead who wasn't the typical big-tit annoyance that goes nuts over the main lead for absolutely no fucking reason. He messed with her controls right? That's why she's fawning over him like a brainless bimbo.

I had high hopes for this one too. I hope it won't disappoint me in the long run because God Eater definitely failed the first episode.

This better improve because I hate dropping series, that is something I RARELY do.

The MC looks cool and I thought he wasn't your traditional wimpy character but him getting nervous squeezing the girl's tits and touching her? What the fuck, man? Tired of that generic shounen boy reaction. Man the fuck up bitch.

Waiting for better episodes.

All the setting is getting a bit tiring for me...the premise is really interesting.....designed NPC's...what happens when they become alive...lol. I'm sure there'll be all sorta idiosynchrocies due to the npcs being most interestingly designed by users.

Can't wait to see where episode 2 takes us.

Really like it so far! Another anine where they are trapped in a game. I wonder if it can surpass SAO, or log horizon


Literally any show can surpass SAO.... just saying.


Literally any show can surpass both Log Horizon and SAO.
Those both managed to get to the other side of the horse.
While SAO pretends to be action packed with a little drama, and LH to be the serious in the family. We get to see a lot more interesting stuff from their little siblings.

This anime seems to grasp what im looking for in an mmorpg, but it's non existent at this moment.
Going on a journey, what an rpg should be about...

A little offtopic, but....

No he doesn't, and i bet, if he'd know what games are available on ps4, he'd eat his words.
Pc gamers love to say how graphics doesn't matter, but keep bashing consoles for low fps and crap graphics. The platform "can" (depending on budget) be superior, the person who keeps bragging behind it, is not.

Sincerely, a pc gamer.

For an introductory episode, that was okay.

The protagonist has a great balance of badass and cool: he's a skeletal mage king, but he's also a man trying to find his way around the circumstances he is now in. The bit where he fondles Albedor's chest is both deductive and funny. He's the most interesting thing in it at this point.

OVERLORD, OVERLORD, OVERLORD!!!! IT IS FINALLY ANIME!!!! YEY!!!
Opening...was OK..nothing memorial about it actually, but OK.

ah, Momoga...you have right to be somewhat angry, but as you understand, those guys and girls had real life to worry about too. Thank your hard work on keeping this place alive...now...Let's travel to fantasy World, where rest of the Dungeon becomes alive...X) and starts to plan make you OVERLORD of that World!!!

...Looks like this is more of the Light Novel style of animation huh. looks good.
oh that Albedo's settings!! XD "A Bitch" Momoga's reactions are so amusing! and that Setting is going to come bite him to ass very soon!

>__< Sure, Momoga...Sure...this is only a test..you do not take seriously any pleasure that you get to touch Albedo's chest. ...(Please note My HEAVY SARCASM

I Like how Momoga has 2 voices...original Human Voice and Overlord voice...and Aura's Seiyu is fits him...Mare's too.

I am enjoying how the Anime makes Momoga interact with his Guardians...I like Mare and Aura especially!

Overall anime adaption of the first chapters...Pretty Good

FUNimation really fucked with the frame rate.

Overall a decent start, interesting enough to keep me for another episode or so. I don't have the highest standard though so... As long as I'm entertained, good enough.

5/5 episode, pacing was fine, keep this up and we have a decent anime over here (unlike SAO, season 1 rush shit and season 2 slow shit down so much that i fell asleep, also the obvious Shino or Sinon something fanservice, i forgot her name)

I was hoping to see some real transition betwen rl and the game but what I've got was more like 'f*ck it, he's in the game now, that's that'. Pretty disappointing. And the animation is crap. Ima put this on hold until it's finished.

Decent setting episode. OP/ED are okay. Animation was a bit lackluster.
Didn't like the pointless ecchi... I have to be sure : "May I touch your boobs?" ...

Guys i have a question.
clearly in the beginning of the episode 1, we see some people invade nazarick and kill undead soldiers, but soon after they get rekt.
Are those players in yggdrasil ? or invaders in the new world ?
Because when they get rekt, Ainz laughs, his voice is clearly undead and not human, and so I suppose those are invaders in the new world ? because when he was in the game his voice was human, wheter it was a monologue or a speech (with herohero).
And then the scene when they get beaten, I think they died, and if so, if it was the game why didn't they vanish like those pkers who attacked on momonga when he was weak and was saved by touch me ?
All of this makes me think that those are actually invaders from the new world, so what do u think

That was just something the anime added, it wasn't in the novel :P
so it was ygddrasil players.

The OP and ED were the highlight of this. lol

Solid first episode. The pacing is surprisingly slow for this kind of show. There's quite a bit of potential here. Hopefully it plays to it, because it could just as easily flop.

Beginning not at all original, a similarity can be found with the SAO, however the sudden comic narration made it all a bit different from the latter, even if they could spare themselves the scene where Momoga touching the breast of Albedo, oh well ! Drawings quite good as quality, I'm curious to see how it will set the story.

Rather boring for an introductory episode. Some parts had me cringing like the "test yer bewbs" scene. I also don't like how the twins and bewbie act in front of the supreme lord, it's like the "respect" they spoke of is only formality, when in fact they acted the way they did, very much casual. I totally had a ??? moment when the twin elder sister said that she thought the supreme lord would be scary, because the way she acted toward him didn't show that at all.

Since people seem to hold this in high regard, I sincerely hope that it would get better from here on.

thanks mr skeltal for the good calcium
oh yeah, i don't kno how i didnt found this doot doot earlier

So, two of the guardians didn't offer their loyalty? I guess they aren't all that loyal.

It's pretty funny how Momonga name itself doesn't sound imposing. Also, he sure has his priorities right... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
