This rather slow paced story but i'm not even mad i'm enjoying every single bit of it, and as for this season the story wasn't too focusing on Momonga and we got to see another aspect that revolves around him and more in depth about the world he currently lives in.

So many new characters being introduced near the end but i'm still curious about the girl that appeared in the first episode her name is Zesshi Zetsumei if i'm not mistaken, it is so weird to show a character in first episode and that's only it i need a background story and also that evil eye girl, and btw Tuare is the only human in Nazarick i hope she doesn't get bullied by Solution and other demonic maids.

And what's the background story of the twisted princess ? okay so she's a yandere and obsessed with Climb but what makes her like that ? ican't wait to see the next season oh geez this gonna be interesting, and PLEASE HOPEFULLY WE GET TO SEE MORE ALBEDO IN THE NEXT SEASON !

Overall score 9/10

Tsuare works with regular homunculus maids. Pleiades are combat maids. They are like idols for them.

Did Ainz HAVE to kill off the captured civilians instead of just releasing them?



If it makes you feel better all of the children were saved by Nigredo (Albedo's older sister) and Pestonya (women with the head of a sheepdog((Shetland)) ).

Also-
Ainz didn't order them to be killed.Ainz asked that if the captives were to be killed that it be as quick and painless as possible,if they had not given offense to Nazarick.

Demiurge has most of the captives,and they've been spread out to work on his ranches and to help with certain NPCs with yet more experiments.
Doesn't "work on ranches" mean
?

If only that Gilgamesh at the end shares the same VA as the actual Gilgamesh from Fate, that would be the best thing.

After getting the spotlight for the whole first season, Albedo and Shalltear gave the others a time to make the action and boy did they deliver~ I really wanted to see them fight in this season too though but this season is focused more on the happenings outside of Nazarick...

Evileye is as adorable as ever and I'm wondering if she has any relation to Shalltear ♥ Momon's "fight" with Jaldabaoth and their talk together was fun to watch and the robot maid and Yuri showed off part of their skills. Brain getting all overjoyed about passing as a nail-clipper cracked me up.

This season wasn't as action-packed as the first one but it did make me very excited for the next one in store! 3 months isn't too long, is it~?

Pretty good season. The only bad thing about it was that lizard arc which was just boring because of the uninteresting characters. But still, characters like Evileye and Sebas made the second part of this season very enjoyable.

Did not like this season much at all. For some reason i found the first arc interesting, but what came after was just average shit.

Humans have been buffed in strength.
Ains has been nerfed. He does not strike me as godlike anymore.
Demiurge has been severely buffed from what i remember of the first season.
Rest of the minions of Ains has been nerfed.

I can see where this is heading. The main cast was superpowered in the first season, and now they're bringing them back to earth for some shitty shounen like battles and setting up Demiurge to become a supervillain.

I do wonder where they're heading with Albedo though. That part is actually interesting. She showed something akin to contempt at Ains orders and it was completely ignored after that.


This ridiculous post. How can you say they've been buffed or nerfed when almost none of them were even in action in season 1? Only Shaltear and Albedo did ANYTHING among the guardians last season.

Also humans have not been buffed in the slightest lol

It was not contempt at Ainz's orders but his identity as Ainz. She still is nothing but loyal to Momonga

I agree completely with the message that you meant to convey to Stormen, but, to be more exact, Maare and Aura actually showed a lot more of their abilities than Albedo in the first season. From what I remember, Albedo only lifted her axe once.

Both arcs just started quite slow but aside from that it was amazing all the way to the end, can't wait for S3. 7.

Yes, that's what I meant. She only lifted her axe once to decapitate that soldier in episode 4.

Yeah but I consider that more than Mare and AUra too since you had Aura use her subtle powers over animals and to distract shaltear while Mare covered up the tomb and caved that asshole adventurer's skull in. All of those things line up with everything they did in the new season still

I'm not referring to how much they did overall. I'm just referring how much they showed their fighting abilities. Maare and Aura beat Albedo in that aspect because they fought the primal fire elemental in the beginning, with Aura swinging her whip, and Maare using magic. And Aura even got thirsty after the fight.

@KRKodama

lbedo is currently still being developed in the light novel,she was not in the web novel,and the author's transition from his web novel to writing Overlord as a light novel has not been always smooth narrative wise- Power rankings fluctuate,once the novel gets past the web novel (vol 10+) the rankings are far more set(for now).

Albedo true strength has been only hinted at by Maruyama(Overlord's author).She is not original to the web novel,and her story line is still evolving in the novel.
The 3rd season should make folks pay a lot more attention to Albedo,if her sisters finally are adapted.


Albedo is a overpowered Dark Paladin, who may or may not turn into a type of nalfeshnee if she gets angry enough or takes enough damage-in other words Hulk's out.

Aura is a overpowered Ranger who can charm humans as well as creatures.

Mare is a overpowered Druid, one of those shy silent types of sadists.

Why are you explaining that to me, as if I didn't know about that information? Even though I didn't ask for it? It's extremely rude to come out of nowhere to tell people things that they already know, without being asked for.
And did you read the whole conversation between me and Darklight0303 to know exactly what we were talking about?
Also, you're wrong about Albedo's strength being "only hinted". We can see her stats in her character sheet. And according to the author's own words, we already know that she is weaker than Shalltear and Maare, and stronger than Demiurge, Aura, and Victim. And that she has a rock-paper-scissors relationship with Sebas and Cocytus. Albedo beats Sebas, Cocytus beats Albedo, and Sebas beats Cocytus.

And pray tell what is Albedo's true form?Readers do not know as she is still being developed,what with her ongoing story line.
Character sheets which are not complete,and are from the game.The Floor Guardians and their powers are evolving in the New World (and has the author tweaks them to fit however he needs them to).

In simple words YGGDRASIL 's "power rankings" are not set in stone,Maruyama plays fast and loose with those stats.

Edit: I'll correct myself Maruyama's writing has improved since the light novel surpassed his web novel.so expect the powers of the various characters to be more...set in place.

2nd Edit: If you do not want public feedback then do not post on a public site, my thoughts are open to debate.

You don't get it. I wasn't complaining about the fact that you replied to me. I wouldn't have complained if you had mentioned my name to contradict something that I said(like you did now), giving me more information. I complained that you came out of nowhere to tell me that Albedo wasn't in the web novel, and even that Maruyama is Overlord's author. I already knew those things, and they had nothing to do with my conversation with Darklight0303. I was saying to him that Aura and Maare showed more of their fighting abilities than Albedo in the first season. Since he said that "Only Shaltear and Albedo did ANYTHING among the guardians last season", I meant to correct him in that point. And I wasn't complaining about Albedo's lack of anything. I was just pointing it out.
You have to think twice before telling people things without being asked for it. Try to put yourself in the other person's place and think how ridiculous it is to not ask for an information and someone comes out of nowhere to teach you about a subject that you already know.
Yes, your thoughts are open for debate, but they would only have made sense if you had posted them in this thread without mentioning my name, since the things that you wrote there had nothing to do with me in the context.


And pray tell what is Albedo's true form?

Does this question have anything to do with what I wrote there? No.
I said that we already know about Albedo's strength. I never said that it already showed us all her abilities. So the question that you used here is not a valid argument.

Character sheets which are not complete,and are from the game.The Floor Guardians and their powers are evolving in the New World (and has the author tweaks them to fit however he needs them to).

In simple words YGGDRASIL 's "power rankings" are not set in stone,Maruyama plays fast and loose with those stats.

You're wrong because the character sheets of Nazarick guardians are already perfectly complete. They can still gain more knowledge and experience during the story, but until there's a real evidence showing the contrary(a new sheet with updated numbers for each character), their stats are, in fact, set in stone, and are not supposed to change.
Character sheets: http://skythewood.blogspot.com.br/p/blog-page_3.html
These are the exact numbers:

And the author hasn't changed them at all yet.

Gotta love that Yuri Alpha is the same level as Entoma and she completely wiped the floor with Evil Eye. Proving that the only reason she won was because of that convenient bugspray magic

The author is still developing the characters,the YGGDRASIL character sheets are only touchstones.

Keeping with Albed,her sheet leaves out of racial levels in succubus and her levels as a Dark Knight.

Albedo' ,Sebas' and Demiurge's true forms are not included on those sheets,as they're not yet been fully developed.

Sometime ago Maruyama answered fans questions about the Floor Guardian's
power levels : (strongest to weakest)
Shalltear Bloodfallen - undead; strongest floor guardian; 1st place (best in 1v1 battle)
Mare Bello Fiore - best magic power; afraid of insects
Albedo - best defense power; can tank Super-tier magic without damage
Cocytus - best offence when equipped with a weapon
Gargantua - highest stats but have no intelligence
Demiurge - most intelligent and most evil; physical abilities are weak (weakest among the guardians)
Aura Bella Fiora - strongest in group battle; weakest in 1v1 battle
Victim - best in "confinement" or "restriction"; non-combative"

(Sebas is not included as he is not a floor guardian)


Notice the author is specific about how he scored them using various categories: ie best magic user,best melee fighter,best tank and etc.


And a newer list by the author:

Power level of Nazarick according to author:
1st - 8th floor NPCs (Nazarick's maximum strength; details unknown)
2nd - Rubedo (Strongest NPC)
3rd - Touch Me (Strongest Warrior, World Champion)
4th - Ulbert Alain Odle (Strongest Magic Caster)
5th - Momonga (Fully-equipped)
6th - High Tier Floor Guardian (Shalltear, etc.)
7th - Sebas Tian (in dragon form)
8th - Guren (7th floor Area Guardian)
9th - Low Tier Floor Guardian (Aura, etc.)
10th - Others (Hamsuke, etc.)


So as I've mentioned power rankings fluctuate and those YGGDRASIL character sheets are subjective as Overlord moves further from the web novel.

Volume 7. This season covered volumes 4 through 6. Would still suggest reading from the start but if you want just from where the anime left off, start off there.

But the second list is not contradicting the first, right? So nothing really has changed here.
The only problem I can see in the second list is that it's saying that Momonga(Fully-equipped) is stronger than Shalltear, even though he needed Aura's help in the end to win.
And why do you keep mentioning the web novel? All what matters is the information in the light novel anyways, and the character sheets are from the light novels too.
You can say that the races are not really complete just because they have "Others" in the list, though I don't consider this relevant. But the numbers showing their strengths are not really subjective. It wasn't Ainz who showed those character sheets, so they weren't from when it was a game. The author added those character sheets in the light novel showing information about the characters who are alive and present in the story.
You could say that those character sheets are just from YGGDRASIL and not relevant anymore if it also showed the stats of Touch Me and Ulbert, for example, but it didn't because those characters are not living in the story(at least until now). This confirms that those stats are indeed the ones that the characters have now(it even says Aiz Ooal Gown in Momonga's description, meaning that it's referring to the Momonga that we have now, after it stopped being a game), and unless the author shows a new sheet for each character, that means the numbers haven't changed at all.

He only needed AUra's help because he HESITATED to put down one of his companion's creations down. Without that hesitation he would have defeated her handily. So it wasn't power that was the deciding factor that time

Yeah that's exactly how I felt as well, but cant be helped much given Ainz, Albedo, Shalltear wasn't really involved much in the fights and what we got were anti-climatic.. brief melees that were way over too quickly or mock fights.

I know the villains in this season were weak af, but I still feel they could have done much better in some scenes than a couple of frame animations which made the animation feel cheap overall. You can tell most of the budget was likely put in another show... (Card Captor Sakura?) and Overlord II got the B team. In saying that though, the one defining episode to me was the Entoma VS Evileye, which I felt was the only one at a good level. If that level was consistent throughout the entire season i would've been much happier.

But it is what it is, and I am confident they'll do a better job for Season 3. Hopefully they put more money into it this time and we'll see some nice animation.

In saying that though, the one defining episode to me was the Entoma VS Evileye, which I felt was the only one at a good level. If that level was consistent throughout the entire season i would've been much happier.

But it is what it is, and I am confident they'll do a better job for Season 3. Hopefully they put more money into it this time and we'll see some nice animation.

Overlord is still my favorite anime of all time, but I feel this season really lacked in the pure-awesome action packed fighting that I've come to expect from this show. But hey, Season 3 is coming out in a few short months so let's hope we see some action!


Yeah that's exactly how I felt as well, but cant be helped much given Ainz, Albedo, Shalltear wasn't really involved much in the fights and what we got were anti-climatic.. brief melees that were way over too quickly or mock fights.

Agreed, season 3 is sure to be better and hopefully we'll see more screen time of Lord Ainz because it's quite obvious once you see Lord Ainz shit gets real. But hey atleast the 3rd season is here super fast, unlike Attack On Titan. and we got a handful of new anime this season to keep us busy.

But the second list is not contradicting the first, right? So nothing really has changed here.
The only problem I can see in the second list is that it's saying that Momonga(Fully-equipped) is stronger than Shalltear, even though he needed Aura's help in the end to win.
And why do you keep mentioning the web novel? All what matters is the information in the light novel anyways, and the character sheets are from the light novels too.
You can say that the races are not really complete just because they have "Others" in the list, though I don't consider this relevant. But the numbers showing their strengths are not really subjective. It wasn't Ainz who showed those character sheets, so they weren't from when it was a game. The author added those character sheets in the light novel showing information about the characters who are alive and present in the story.
You could say that those character sheets are just from YGGDRASIL and not relevant anymore if it also showed the stats of Touch Me and Ulbert, for example, but it didn't because those characters are not living in the story(at least until now). This confirms that those stats are indeed the ones that the characters have now(it even says Aiz Ooal Gown in Momonga's description, meaning that it's referring to the Momonga that we have now, after it stopped being a game), and unless the author shows a new sheet for each character, that means the numbers haven't changed at all.


He only needed AUra's help because he HESITATED to put down one of his companion's creations down. Without that hesitation he would have defeated her handily. So it wasn't power that was the deciding factor that time

Indeed, you're right. But I think that also counts as part of his psychological skill. If he had a stronger mind he wouldn't have hesitated. Just like it also counts that Shalltear's mind was weak enough to believe in his lie during the fight. The result of the fight changed significantly by the fact that he made her think that he didn't know all her skills, when actually he knew it. Though you may argue that she kind of unconsciously cheated because she was mind controlled, which made her capable of attacking Ainz, since under normal conditions it wouldn't even become a fight, and Shalltear would just prostrate herself before Ainz. But Ainz also cheated, consciously, by setting traps on her and buffing before the fight even started. In any case, even fully-equipped it was still a very close fight. Nothing changes the fact that he won in the end. But it's also a fact he had the help from Aura in the end, meaning that it wasn't really a legit 1 vs 1 fight. And if I remember correctly, he admitted afterwards that he went against the odds in that fight, and that he probably wouldn't be able to defeat her again in a different situation. Perhaps he was being modest to himself by thinking like that, but I, personally, still slightly disagree with that ranking. Though, if the author said that Ainz fully equipped is stronger than Shalltear, then I guess I'm the wrong one for thinking differently, since what the author claims to be the fact in his own story is always the fact.

There aren't much highlighted here especially character from season one.
It divided to few arcs though i do enjoy it quite well with lots of giggle despite the CGI,and some weird lizard arc in early episode.

What amuse me here is the character interaction i guess, it reminds me of Log Horizon again.
I guess it's well deserved to get 7-8 would've give 9 for enjoyment but it kinda felt short which is why they announced season 3 instantly.

Well Madhouse is the studio,and i guess they're finally sticking to it and show some dedication?

Regardless I shouldn't hope much with LN adaptation...

Some good moments but the season was all over the place. How the hell does this score an 8? I zoned out during so many episodes I barely understood what the hell was going on anymore. Terrible pacing. Enjoyed the lizzies though.

Personally I think overlord is a fairly boring and tedious franchise but enjoyable at time if I have nothing better to do. This season was more about side characters and was divided by two filler arcs I assume. However, I only liked the lizardmen arc to some extent but the second one was quite average just like the innovative names of the character it focused around.

The fact God Sama aka Ainz is still the usual bland and boring misunderstood villain who still hasn't accepted the fact that his friends moved on with their lives and continues to aimlessly dawdle in a video game all by himself with a bunch of NPCs is kinda sad. And dude had like 5 seconds of screen time in most episodes and still managed to add Evileye into his harem in 3 second without even flinching. And we have people who hate Kirito with passion but don't mind this guy. LOL

Anyways, I somewhat appalled that this is getting a sequel considering there is not much to the story itself since most of it revolves around suplots. But still it's a good time-killer.

Disappointing. They tried to put two arcs in one season when they need one season each to be fully fleshed out.
this made them rush but at the same time to show most of the events but because they were showing in rush there was no good character building and therefore anime viewers were bored because they could feel nothing over this characters and just wanted to see Ainz kicking ass while LN readers felt disappointed that everything was so rushed and nothing was shown as gloriously as in the LN.
I loved the lizard arc in the LN but if they were just gonna throw a half-hearted presentation like that they might as well have skipped it and focused on making well with one arc instead of a rushed job with both and simply made a reference to the events in an episode later

Basically they managed to disappoint everyone.
I hope third season animated only the arc with the workers and the first interaction of Ainz and a certain young king and nothing more.

Well except Sebas they actually are quite horrible creatures so it is understandable.
And the funny thing is that they show how horrible they are even more after this arc so fair to say you won't warm up to them.

So I can tell this was pretty rushed but I still enjoyed it for what its worth. I do have one question though and that is why did shalltear back off chasing brain after seeing climb? Can anybody answer that because that was not explained well or was it something we will see in season 3 possibly explained?


It would likely be answered next season but if you want to know from now:

I really hate that Momonga realizes that he doesn't feel emotions but still kills innocent people I just can't stand that why would he do that and don't argue with me saying that's how he is or that's his characteristics or how his character was written by the writer killing innocent people is always wrong
No matter what even though he could havev released them.

Any way enough of that I'm really excited for season 3 and only 3 month of waiting is a small price to pay, Evileye was sure a cutesy with that little teeth. 7/10


Let me guess you must cry for every ant you step on each tday


Depends on whether you use to be an ant yourself and whether ants were smart enough to have a conversation with.

One question though, that wasn't Shalltear taking the place of Evileye at the end, was it?


No, Evileye looks similar because she is a vampire as well.

pretty disappointing season. they took their sweet time in one half, and rushed the second.

yeah we all know normal NPCs never stood a chance against player boosted NPCs, why did they have to glorify that? the city battle started and ended too quickly for my taste as well.

hopefully the third season wont be disappointing, it looks like a few more floor bosses might go rogue by the look of things.
