So far season 2 has almost completely taken away everything that made season 1 so much fun - episode 8 is no exception.

I don't care about these characters. I couldn't care less about Brain or Climb. I just want to go back to watching Ainz try and take over the world.

I see more people complaining about people complaining than I do people actually complaining, not that people don't have a right to complain of course, this season is pretty trash.

Well, but that's fandom in a nutshell.
and on a broader sense, that's internet in a nutshell and that's society in a nutshell.

Fairly speaking, it is world-building.
Although I agree with your point that it doesn't give enough excuse for them to put aside the skeleton boss a lot of people were in love with.
And yeah, most of these new characters are shite.

Look at all these side characters I care for!

The pacing sure is that of a 100 episode season and not a 13 one.

Hmm... Thirteen Heroes, huh? I seem to recall there being 13 players in the Ains Ooal Gown guild, so that's definitely interesting, whether the two are connected or not.

Other than that, I'm kinda disappointed we didn't get to see the consequences of Solution's conversation with Ains at the end of last week's episode, but what we did get was still pretty decent at least, so I'm not too bothered if they hold back on that until next week.


There were 41 players in Ains Ooal Gown, who the floor guardians often refer to as the 41 Supreme Beings (this was also what Sebas alluded to in a recent episode when he told Tsuare "there are 41 beings stronger than I am, and perhaps a few more," with the "few more" being some of the floor guardians; Shalltear in particular has been singled out a few times as being possibly the strongest in sheer combat ability). Exactly how many of them have been referenced by name at this point though, I couldn't say exactly.

I am getting concerned of how much they are planning of cutting from the 6th novel at this rate...

Anyway, I am curious if the next episode is going to include Staffan's "backstory" and motivation, because that is probably the darkest part about this novel.

to anyone that says they don't care about the side characters and just wants to see ainz kick ass, Overlord is not for you

Overlord is about building up side characters (in the novel, those side characters are treated as MCs), making you care for them for 9/10 of the whole book, then at the last 1/10 gets stomped by Ainz Ooal Gown

If you don't care about character build up and just want mindly dumb stomping from the MC, there are plenty of shows like that out there, you don't have to watch Overlord

Also, you'll hate season 3 if they ever have one in the future

This episode was pretty much filler. There was one thing that caught my interest, though. They showed a flashback of the Princess picking climb up from the streets. I wondered why the Princess just chose to adopt or whatever a random urchin from, and now they show this:

That is not a benevolent fucking smile! That's a yandere smirk if I've ever seen one!

Boy this is plainly laid out in the ending, she is insane, see her segment with Climb standing behind her, and pause when the screen starts flashing to a more "honest" image.

Man the light novel was so interesting, but man in the anime lots of things are skipped and starting to get boring.

Lmao, Gagaran would crush Climb if he ever slept with her xDD

While at first I thought Sebas was doing what Ains has been telling everyone, thinking by himself without consulting Ains for every little detail, now I'm slightly worried that he might be attracting too much attention to himself.

Yo virgin, that was a funny way to get someone's attention.

Ah so they have heard about Momon & Narberal, I wonder if they will interact at some point, Evileye is fighting against Entoma in the opening so they might.

I knew Climb would overcome that trial, he cares too much about the princess for him to fail that, it was quite the experience though.

Brain seems to have gotten his motivation back, those 3 made shorts work of those assassin's.

Will be interesting to see what happens next with those 3 together for a bit.

I have a question to LN readers.
I find this second season really boring. Ainz and others of Nazarik are almost not present in this season. Is it the same in the LN ? I mean Ainz is really never in the LN ?

I can understand it is important to developps characters but never shows MC and his group ?

I bought the first volume of the LN but didn't read it yet. and I want to know if I should buy the next ones.

We follow Ainz's POV for volumes 1-3. We also follow his POV for most of volume 10 and 11. And some parts of volumes 6,7,8,9 and 12. Volume 4 and 5 are the only volumes that doesn't have Ainz's POV in it.

Episode 8 is setting up the climax of volume 5. And if you're waiting for Ainz's response to Solution's report, you will definitely love the upcoming episodes.

Keep in mind that these "boring" episodes are build up for the upcoming battle with Jaldabaoth.

If we do get season 3. It will be so good and extremely dark at the same time.

Sebas is one great old man and a favorite now. It seems like Brain and Climb are drawn by his strong nature and great spirit.

I think Brain will mature from being that wimpy dude after being humiliated by Shalltear and Climb is already promising since he fights for the princess. I guess Eight Fingers are in shit and oh that was one manly woman.

Ains should have more screen time, I am tired of not seeing him considering he's the MC of the show.

The buildup is killing me so far, I tried waiting until the whole season aired but couldn’t help myself anymore, can’t wait to see what happens at the brothel as it’s most likely a trap, I’m guessing that the Bald guy with Tattoos(don’t know his name but he’s from the 8 fingers) will end up fighting Sebas based on the OP scenes.

As a build up episode, it was fairly decent.

I especially loved the interactions between these 3 unrelated men.

Though, I did see some really derpy animation frames here and there, but it doesn't matter much in the end.

I wanna see where this climax is going. And what about Solution ? Wasn't she being a delator about Sebas situation ? How will this go ?

I don't think much will happen to be honest. Ainz usually displays a lot of compassion and understanding with his guardians.
A "punishment" will be involved, but I won't expect something drastic.

I mean "Shallchair" was pretty light hearted stuff for a punishment,lol.

As for Brain and Climb,they're both getting better characters.

Objectively speaking, this is a sigh-worthy adaptation of the corresponding events from the LN. There is just too much backstory and context left out.

I can understand why people dislike Climb. I personally am getting annoyed with him because he's voiced by fucking YUKI KAJI (aka Eren, Shu, Hope, Haruyuki, etc.), even though I actually liked him in the novels. But Brain Unglaus... that guy is legitimately my favorite character in Overlord, and he got completely shafted by this adaptation.

It's just impossible to understand Brain from the anime alone, impossible to understand just how much of a badass he's considered in the New World. Before he fought Shalltear, he was a farmer-turned-genius swordsman who was undefeated until he lost to Gazef Stronoff's [Fourfold Slash of Light] in the Kingdom's equivalent of Dragonball's World Martial Arts Tournament. Gazef then went on to become the the Warrior Captain of the Kingdom and known as the strongest swordsman across the land, while Brain was remembered as Gazef's rival who was capable of fighting him to a standstill.

After being sobered by defeat, Brain swore revenge and went on a journey to hone his sword skills, making money as a unkempt mercenary. Even though he could have easily made more money working for the nobility (like how Gazef works for the King), he did not wants to be tied down by the responsibilities of working for a noble. He eventually came across a rare and expensive weapon forged from the South (basically Asia in our world), his [Katana]. Using it, he practiced a martial art called [Instant Flash], a sword-drawing technique, so hard that it evolved into a faster ability no human could react to: [God Flash], a technique so fast that after striking through his opponent, even blood would not stick to the blade. He also came up with an original martial art, [Field], which granted him within its radius the superhuman senses and precision necessary to slash through an opponent's neck with 100% accuracy.

He combined these two techniques to create the trump card he planned to kill Gazef with: [Whistling Wind], named after the sound of spurting blood made by his opponent's stump of a neck. It's basically the fucking [Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki]. And then Shalltear just caught it from behind.

Brain was destroyed by this experience because he realized that all his effort, all of his talent was worthless in the face of monsters, but watching the anime, god damn. You just don't get any of that and so he ends up just looking like a little bitch. It's such a shame really, because now you can't understand how meaningful it is when Sebas, who is outwardly human and on the same level as Shalltear, tells Brain that humans can sometimes summon unexpected strength from within themselves if it is for someone else, or how someone like Climb who has no talent for the sword was able to dodge when Brain was frozen in fear. Brain lived as an overdog all his life thinking he was the strongest. He was a selfish man who only ever pursued his own interests, but now someone who he will never be as strong as and someone who will never be as strong as him tells him that true strength comes from the heart, and that changes Brain as a person from here on out.

tl;dr - y they gotta do my boi Brain liek dat?

this episode feel so much faster despite a lot of talking, the influence of Momon as swordsman getting bigger and bigger, and the fact that almost all of the character is connected to Ainz is pretty exciting, Climb with Sebas, Unglaus with Shalltear, and Stronoff with Ainz. i cant wait when they all know that all of those people are Ainz right hand. and also the revealing that Adamantite swordsman are actually Ainz.

Sebas is getting well deserved exposure each episode, his personality are very human like, a gentleman, this build up makes me curious about next episode man.

this got me hype.

Climb is damn annoying, but I like Brain just fine. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Don't mind the spoilers about the princess being batshit crazy. Now I really want to see that shit unfold, ahaha.

Also the whole "Yo, Virgin!" scene was hilarious. I like Evileye, too.

The last 3 episodes will feature a lot of Nazarick for sure (especially Momon). For now it's mostly Sebas and then Ainz being cast-away as a side character.

If you really only care about Ainz overpowering everyone, I don't think this series is for you unless you just want to skip to season 3. Though I'd say
it's pretty cool to see how you get to gradually see the effect of Ainz's presence in future volumes looking from the perspectives of the New World characters.

Either way I believe the LN's a lot better in the anime, in nearly every single aspect.
