Kytee said: First off, its not the audience's fault that the show and the author do a poor fucking job of keeping the same theme/perspective/genre. If a movie started the first 1/4 of the movie as an action movie then switched to a drama movie the rest of the way through, would you not have the same thoughts? World building doesn't matter at all if you don't have enough time to flesh out anything of worth. Yeah it'd be worth fleshing out all the lizardmen and Climb and Brain if there were 80 episodes a season, but when they are moving through content 1 chapter per 4 episodes, shits gonna get left out for sure. All in all, it doesn't have to be all about Ainz, but don't waste your time fleshing out shit characters and loose threads in your story. Lol, it's not the author's fault that the anime only has 13 episodes per season. According to the LN readers, things are indeed fleshed out and a lot of characters are used again in the future. |
| Sebas beating that bastard was superb. He shows up, his mere presence makes the guy tremble as he knows that Sebas is a monster of a warrior. He finds himself powerless, as Sebas beats him, just as he was beating that woman earlier... it's so satisfying because he thought he was the predator, and next moment he was but a bug in the path of a truly powerful being. _______ Climb put up a good fight, he knew he couldn't win against Succulent, so he didn't make bad moves, he knew he had to endure until Brain or Sebas came. Also, it was so funny when Brain couldn't notice Sebas's presence, when a moment before Brain said that his skills allow him to detect invisible enemies. ___________ Next chapter, hope we see more of Yandere Princess....and Sebas's Trial before Momonga. |
 |
| Pretty good episode. It was really satisfying to see Sebas beat that fat dude. Climb ran into some trouble again Succulent but he is held own for long enough so Brain could take him down. So the princess is a vampire? The teeth seem to suggest it. |
 |
| The ending transition was cool. The episode was meh though. Was hoping to see more Sebas. Were all those maid outfits that Climb found suppose to represent something related towards the princess killing off her maids and getting new ones from the brothels or something? They were the exact same maid outfits hers had at the end. |
| Really annoyed that the show deliberately cut away from Sebas as he was about to see Ains in the mansion, but this was a pretty decent episode aside. Interesting revelation that the Princess is a yandere, but I'm not really sure where they're gonna go with that or why it matters in the slightest in relation to the main plot of defeating Eight Fingers. |
| The Bromance at the ending.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ... |

skreddy said: The problem for me is that there are too many characters and too many stories, but only 13 episodes a season... So, most of the characters are not growing on me. Also, if the side characters like guardians of nazarick get side stories like these, then, looks like overlord is really long. i mean, 41 guardians is literally 15 seasons atleast.. and i will forget about the shalltear and her punishment by then. and I really don't see overlord getting 15 seasons.. and all that character development would be just a waste of time for me. Just to help clear up a misunderstanding here (which is understandable, considering it has been awhile since it's been important in the anime): 41 refers to the "supreme beings," the Yggdrasil players of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown who created Nazarick, not to its guardians. Of these 41, all but Momonga (now Lord Ainz) had long-since quit the game. The total number of former NPCs in Nazarick is significantly more than 41, but most of them are low-ranked support staff; If I remember correctly, the guardians are just Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Demiurge, Victim (the floating red fetus angel thing we saw earlier in the season), and one more who has only ever been mentioned off-hand, at least as far as I've read (which is only to where this season will end), plus Sebas and the Pleiades also filling a similar role. Well, Pandora's Actor can also be counted, since he's the guardian of the treasury... but I have no idea if we ever really see him again or not. |

| Woah best episode yey. Princess Renner shows her true personality after all |
| To be honest, I expected that princess' behaviour xD I mean, she was hinted to be a monster and now we know why :P Next episode Ainz and Sebas will have a serious talk :O |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I haven't seen this episode yet, but based on what people are saying I'm dropping the show. It has already bored me like crazy. |
| 10 min skipped, borriiinnnnngggggggg |
 |
| So the princess is a phsyco! |

dantex14 said: you have the worst timing ever, dropping this season right before the best part of this arc begins lmao. you’re gonna miss out on the fights and the climax. and it’s good that season 2 is showing the true nature of anime only fans - they only care about action and an OP MC stomping on everyone when the novel is NOT about that. good thing we won’t miss guys How are you gonna say I only care about action when several of my favorite anime are action-free dramas? This season of Overlord is excruciatingly boring in its focus on random characters who I could not care less about. Episode 8 had plenty of action, but nothing interesting happened at all. Way to miss the point... |
| Overlord II is overrated now. If there weren't the 1st ss, this anime would have 6,5-7 score and nobody would even care about it. |
|
| Another wait for next week huh..... The baldy in the last scene havent seen real hell nor the real undead king |
| A yandere princess is fine too... |
 |
| Now we know why the women were ending up that way, it was so satisfying seeing Sebas slap around and kill that fat bastard. I didn't think Climb would win but I thought his efforts were very impressive. Brain was cool to watch, made real short work of him. I have a feeling Brain will run into Shalltear again at some point, but 1 thing I could see happening if that was the case is Stronoff being there at the same time and the name of Ainz being brought up and they might come to an understanding because of it. Very interesting to see what happenes next between Ainz, Sebas & Solution. Wow the princess has quite the personality(s) at least she care a lot about Climb. |

| Lmao, best part of the episode was the ugly fatass pig getting killed by Sebas. Also, that yandere mode. |

joe_g7 said: last time I checked Ains was still the main character of Overlord, but even the main supporting cast is being ignored for the sake of 1.dumb fucking lizards that haven't even been mentioned since their arc ended even though so much time was dedicated to their "development" 2.fucking Climb, cause for all I know he too could suffer the same fate as the lizards and be completely forgotten. Hope of seeing 'a bit more Ains and action' is what has been keeping me from dropping this show, and it has been beyond underwhelming to say the least. I won't drop it now, I will suffer through and enjoy slapping a well-deserved 1/10 at the end. Then you missed the entire point of Overlord. It's about showing characters in the world and how Ainz and the guardians actions affect them. We'll be following more characters just like the Lizards and Climb in upcoming parts of the story, so if you're just in it for Ainz, drop it already cause you're gonna keep getting disappointed. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Well this episode was an absolute bore. I have no idea how we went from such a great first season, to a pretty decent, but rather long arc about Lizard Men, to this... Is this actually what we've been waiting 3 years for? But I guess there are enough people loving this to just tell me "You're not enjoying Overlord properly. You just got the wrong idea on what kind of series it is thanks to the first 13 episodes." |
 |
| people just don't know if vol 4(lizard arc) and vol 5(men in kingdom part 1,this arc) are not even good in the novel,most readers don't like it cause its boring,vol 6 is suppose to be the 2nd best vol now i wonder if we will see the adaption of vol 6,since we are now at episode 9 and this vol isn't even finish yet,there's no way they will finish vol 6 in 3 episodes,so its like they will end this season with momon vs jaldabaoth which mean,maybe they will make season 3 if that happen |
| you anime fans only are wrong if you think Overlord is all about Ainz or his followers showing their OPness to weak people all the time,that's not what makes Overlord good or become popular light novel,thats why we overlord readers always tried to tell you people to read the novel,but at the same time we know its hard for you to like it,cause overlord isn't always about action |

Some people do not feel enamored by this season, but that is no ones fault, you don't need to rant about it not living up to YOUR expectations. I found the entire second season entertaining. |

| I was okay with not seeing much ainz but can they at least stop wasting our time with super useless weak people like climb and the lizard people... |
| Wow Ains meeting with Sebas I wonder what's all about? Looks like Eight Fingers is retaliating, I bet the next ep will feature Ains more. I liked Climb's spirit, but I wished he was the one that defeated that guy( I love underdogs, they make me cheer for them even if their are useless). Brain is still on some Shalltear, lol. |

| I rather watch Ainz just sitting behind his desk doing bills, Sending messages/orders around to minions or just doing Quests as Momon with Nabe, than this stuff tbh. |
 |
| dammit,i didn't know next episode is the beginning of volume 6,but 4 episodes still too short for that volume |
