After that little spiel of cringe-worthy placed exposition about Ninya's sister, it "should" make sense that they bring them back to life. Otherwise, if they were going to die anyway, that little tidbit about the sister and Ninya's hidden identity being a girl is kind of worthless.

My hope is that they bring them back to life, because I am really liking the show. I don't want to already pass it off as a poorly written enjoyable show instead of simply an enjoyable show.

Just assume that all humans will die with their wishes unfulfilled and you will have a better grasp of this show.
I wish Climb would but alas...

I'm thinking they might animate the fight and some parts of Vol 3 as well considering where this episode ended,but I guess we'll find out.

Better than I've been expecting for this episode, that summoning was cool to see.

When Clementine said she was at the same level as Gazef Stronoff I laughed too hard at the point of falling out of the chair. Like, really? You will cry too much at the end of it bitch.

I can't hold my hype for this series, I hardly do it but damn this one hitted the spot.

Great episode. I probably have to switch over to the novels when the 13 episodes have finished. xD

The MC is such a good character.
On a personal level, he's got so many traits that I wanted to see in an anime without being forcibly demonised by the story (like it happens in Death Note, Code Geass, etc) and he's strong enough for my tastes.
On a more "objective" standpoint, he seems to be an actual character. He uses his brain, is attentive but without being too "perfect", more than once he's made a mistake or a miscalculation, he bluffs, he's selfish (unlike the typical hero being a self righteous white knight), he's got his own demons and objectives. He acts of his own accord but at the same time realising that he needs to keep an image. Many of the things he does , again, are not trying to make you feel like he's doing something wrong or right by the story and the tone, nor is he really saying cliché phrases such as "X is wrong!".

This could have been said in the first episodes, but this episode really made me appreciate the character even more.
The anime might be slow, and it feels like you're watching it for 6 minutes, but in all honesty, this was definitely a fresh take on the show, compared to how many anime actually feature 2 dimensional characters in these types of anime.
If anything it's a better approach than what Log Horizon, SAO and Hack gave us.

That horrible forced exposition was sticking out like a sore thumb. It was already terrible in itself, but in a show that started so well it makes you want to punch someone in the face just to spread the suffering...

Other than that piece of crap of a writing it was another episode that went by way too fast.

the really sad thing is that they are so OP hardly anyone in this world could give them a fight. htey compare Ainz to the highest level adventurer but so far, he hasn't even broken a sweat. I wonder if this fight will show a bit of how strong he is compared to their strong warriors. I am also curious if he is actually able to discern a target's ability naturally like we normally would in an rpg. IE: you can tell their level strength etc....before you fight them so you know which fights are easy and which might give you a hard time; which would explain his blatant confidence whenever he faces an opponent.

Can I get a quote from that section of the novel because I am looked over that bit again and all it is talking about is horrible injuries and hemorrhaging among other things. Nothing about gender and it does not seem to subtlety hint it either.

The hints are in Volume 2, when Momon finds her body and undress her to check the wounds, he is astonished and adjust her dress quickly.

Sure with hindsight but chances are when people read that most people did not think she was a girl it was all a description about the horrible injuries on her body.

O, how I will feel so satisfied when I see that crazy bitch die, it had to end right there, ugh. Great episode, absolutely loved it. Momon's such a beast, I really like his character. Probably one of my favorite (male) characters this season. Also, Nabe carrying Hamusuke was amazing, rofl. Sucked though, that the other characters died right there at the beginning, but can't say I'm surprised, ugh. Didn't expect Ninya to be actually a female though. Really looking forward to the next episode. I want to see Momon smashing that bitch.

The whole development is so slow, one would think that this needs at least 50-60 episodes to showcase the plot. Otherwise it will be just like preparing a meal for two hours only to forget it in the oven...

I think the turning point will come when stronger or equal characters appear. Otherwise it's comparable to playing an MMO at max level and doing lvl 1 quests. Gets boring.

As for this ep:

I don't see any point in just showing the necromancers how OP is he(Momon), also why make it seem like it will take more than a spell to wipe them. Plus sending Nabe to do it? They seem too insignificant and weak. Wouldn't it be faster to just instakill them? After all there are no observers...

As for Clementine, she seems like a viable information source, can't he just teleport her back to the fortress so his servants can interrogate her?

Punishing her for foiling his plans seems childish and not lord-like.

That's not entirely true. Like Tropicalwood said, and Ains noted it as well that they are useful for spreading his name. Those adventurers have in fact spent the most time with him so far in whatever side of the world Ains and Nabe are in.


You clearly didn't understand what Ainz said.

Wait, what? What other way is there to interpret what Ainz said besides what kuroi usagi mentioned?

My personal take on Ainz's feelings toward the adventurers' death.

He certainly didn't consider them his companions. That's for his guild mates. His first concern with them was spreading his fame so he can reach an higher rank quicker. They were going to spread stories of how he defeated ogres with 1 slash. Now he plans for the whole town to hear about him saving them from a thousand undead. That's even more impressive so that's a net gain.

However, while he didn't consider them his companions but rather mostly tools, there was still some connection. Just take that scene at beginning of episode 7 where he knows he ruined the mood and try to fix it. Ainz won't feel angry about their death. He has his Overlord role to play in front of Narberal and he knows, if he had to, he would've killed them himself. Still, "this is a little... displeasing".

He's taunting her and she's not liking it. She takes everything with a laugh but that and you can be sure Ainz noticed it. He's saying he'll punish Clementine because "she interrupted his plans" despite her giving him a much better opportunity to get famous. That's the payback he'll allow himself to get for them while never admitting it, probably not even to himself.
