So you didn't listen to what Demiurge said? That all those undead were lower level and Coccytus was told NOT to take to the field?

Fine episode. Clearly Cocytus was being tested. If Ainz really wanted to kill the Lizard Men he would have done it much easier than that xD Not bad for a tribe of savages though.

Ok so we got into the battle but we still don't know anything else, like why Ainz is attacking them etc.
But i think that guy was right, Ainz is doing this for a whole reason and that's why he doesn't want his army to win.

We DO know why Ainz is attacking them. It was established at the end of the first season. Human corpses make for low level undead. Lizard men corpses on the other hand can lead to higher level undead.

I hope they change the pacing for the next arc. They destroyed this arc...
Is it just me or is the pacing even worse then S1?

Pretty cool battle, some questionable cg monsters aside. So lizard tribes have won....for now. But will Cocyutus and Ainz really let them go?

So sounds like Ains motive is some kind of testing instead of winning.
Good battle, so far makes me care for them lizards more than Ains group.

It seems like the Lizard men are taking this thanks to Zaryusu for defeating that Iguva creepy looking guy. I wonder what will Ains do now since Cocytus has used their trump card and the war seems to be against them.

Loved this ep, although the duel in the first half was short and lame. How I wish it wasn't a 13 ep anime and it was more.

The lizards play an important role in the story. There will probably be some ainz yes, but not nearly as much as in season 1. That's how Overlord is. If you expect the season to be all about ainz going around being op you might as well drop the series right now instead of whining cause this is how it's gonna be from now on.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode. I think the battle finished a little bit too quickly and I'm not too fond of the CGI, but hey-ho

Well, there's a couple good moments of that at least. Doubt it'll be in this season though. I personally didn't like the lizard arc thing. I thought it was boring. That's not to say I don't enjoy the politics of things, the lizard arc just isn't very appealing to a lot of people.

actually kinda don't like lizardman arc in LN,but its pretty enjoyable to watch the anime version of the arc than when i read the volume,but it is short and still pretty boring

also,what anime only need to know and understand is Overlord will not always focus with Ainz and Nazarick,they will also focus with people in the new world,so you anime only need to be more patient

The fact that the first 3 episodes are a huge pile of shit won't change no matter what happens later in the season, but I still believe it can get better. I wanna be 100% sure before dropping, and I'm actually really close to reaching that point. For now, I'm gonna let myself suffer for a couple more episodes, then the show can go fuck itself for all I care.

basically 80-85% of the novel done in like 36 minutes

Guess they really put the focus on the men of the kingdom arc. Guess it's for the better since those 2 volumes are on of the best in the series so far. The pacing is way too fast.

Why did Ainz send Cocytus to kill the Lizardmen? I forget stuff easily so if it was mentioned in season 1 i forgot. Otherwise i either missed the reason in ep 1 or i guess we don't know yet?


Ainz wants better corpses to make undead since regular human undead are lower level than Lizardmen


Actually it's more on Ains wanting to know

Obvious fast pacing, they should have atleast kept the wine and drug ritual scene to show them preparing for battle.
Cocytus rushing in without thinking and screws up but ainz expected this.

Overlord II is a sequel that is neither bigger nor better than its predecessor. The size and scope have been dialed back to something that is more akin to a straight action game. And since none of the frustrating elements of the first have been fixed -- namely the camera, control, and save structure -- this game just isn't much fun. No amount of British wit could bring a smile to my face as I treaded through the tedium that is Overlord II.

If the focus of this arc was Cocytus (like he's supposed to be, apparently), I wouldn't have had a problem with this arc either, but he's had like 5 minutes of screentime in 3 episodes???? The rest has been devoted to nobodies whom nobody cares about. I didn't come here to see Random Lizardmen: The Anime.

So far it looks like you try to force your opinion on others. I don´t think so Darklight0303 is delusional. Different ppl like different things, you know, that is the trait humanity have, so sorry to disappoint you.

Can somebody please tell me why Momonga is fighting the Lizard men? I'm so lost in this show, I s2g. :/ So, it was Momonga and his gang who challenged them from the get-go? What was his reason?

I'm not liking Overlord II so far. :/

I want more Momonga and his gang especially Albedo. Huhu.

3/5.
