Overlord is Overlord for me, so 10/10, no questions asked...

I just hope a better studio picks 4th season.

I mean Madhouse can animate things very well and have good special effects, their track record speaks for itself even very recently with Sora Yori. The Overlord anime just seems to be an expection opposed to the norm from Madhouse.

And yes Tensei Shitara does look very good so far.

Well that was fun. That "And the story goes on" at the end gave off a and happily every after feel to it. I guess I shouldn't expect season 4.

YES, I love this Season so much and I will be hoping and waiting for a Season 4, ESPECIALLY with the that "And the story goes on" at the end, because this episode was Greatness, because I just LOVE Anti-Heroes and THE WORLD!!!.

Also HELL YES, kneel before your New God, lower Lifeform Human Trash.

Oh yeah, awesome acting from Ainz and Albedo too.

RIP Gazef.

RIP KIngdom.

RIP Overlord.

6/10. Most minus points for terrible graphics.

I will say this I like this anime allot it´s entertaining to watch.

No I will not read the light novel not because I don´t like ready it is because time and energy to read is well I don´t have that with 2 kids and the my interest and soon maybe a job meaning time for my interest of watching anime and play games will be even lower.

Heck I I can´t even enjoy reading manga any more when I have free time I can watch a few episodes anime or game for a few hours.


Only minus I will give this episode is they killed of Gazef and yet psychopathic Renner will live on man I dislike her as hell. Yes I know in the novel Gazef survives.

Indeed, expecting a season 4. I guess Albedo also has to wait for another round xD

I love how sick this anime is with the feeling of death.
Although WHY do i have the feeling that the girl in the kingdom is an actual player who is waiting to plot the whole scene?

An enjoyable experience overall. Could've been better if the budget wasn't shoestring and the CG was at least better than Berserk.

Final episode kinda disappointing, the whole thing felt like what was usually in the during-credits scenes in previous seasons.

So the silhouette at the end of the ED turned out to be a red herring, huh? That's too bad.



And those who are too damaged by the CGI this season... come over to watch Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken! We got beautiful 2D animations (even a Dragon doesn't need CGI!) and visual effects that Madhouse could only dream of! It also has a non-human protagonist and later on got its own fairly dark moments similar to Overlord! And the chief animation directior is Ebata, someone who's appearently very famous for his great animations!


I laughed when I read that bit about Slime Datta,though I have to admit,though I love Overlord,this season has been a bit hit and miss,and the animation needed a lot of work(looking at u CGI),but I feel the story has been decent enough,but I have to say,the first ep of Slime Datta was awesome,and well on point.

To many boring parts with many still frames and characters that feels like little ants in the overall story to me, them chatting away with much dialog and more still frames when i'm sitting there thinking 'shut up already - i don't care!' can we just move on with the story!?
Season 2 & 3 has been an overall mediocre viewing experience, season 3 was slightly more entertaining than season 2 at least for me.

I don't understand why some people here are hating and wishing they don't do S4, if you don't like it, just don't watch it ffs.

Overall it was a bad season, I still liked tho... But the animation was far worse from what is usually expected from Madhouse, it was rushed.

Good finale.

That was quite the 'fight' if you would consider it one.

Ains beginning his conquest of the world, final scene was epic.

Overall, the first half of this season wasn't very appealing to me. It felt like it dragged on especially after S2's strong ending but the second half of this season really hit the ground running. These past few episodes have been great. It's a real shame that this didn't get better production, the CGI was atrocious but at the very least it was still entertaining.

Good episode, but a pretty poor adaptation of the actual events.

But I do love these people that sit and watch a show that they really dont like and just want to trash it for the sake of trashing. I salute you, you make my day.

I don't mind waiting at least a year or two for the 4th season if it would mean better animation. This anime should be at least 24 episodes instead of 13 for more room to adapt the arc rather than compacting or omitting to rush certain elements of the Light Novel. The studio should take their time.

i glad it was over, if only, IF ONLY Madhouse treat this adaptation like his own child, i’ll be happier

they only have 6 project in 2018, even 2 of them are Overlord II & III. another 2 of them aren’t really action oriented (Wakaokami wa Shougakusei & Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa). and another 2 which i found pretty good (Cardcaptor Sakura & Sora yori mo Tooi Basho)

and if i see the data everywhere, they dont even working on anything on Fall season

i know it depends on the production committe (just like how good SoraYori is), but damn i feel sad right now.

you know what, i want 4th season already just hit me up with more 3dcg fam

When you dont want to get any attention from other players, but you also want to do some complete deus ex machina shit and destabilise this worlds politics.

I have actually read the LN, even though its kinda tedious, Im surprised how much one can butcher this. Definitely one of madhouse overall weakest adaptions

Looks like this is MadHouses way of saying "Goodbye overlord, fuck you guys!". Ever since they've announced this rushed sad excuse of a piece of shit, i knew they're most likely only doing it to milk a cash cow.

I highly doubt they'll make a 4th season and i wont be reading the LN. Overlord is one of those turn your brain off and just watch series for me.

Goodbye Overlord you wont be missed.

I guess Gazef went to the duel knowing he's doomed either way, but I liked Climb's theory on why he chose death. I guess Ains has won against the Kingdom, but I wonder what will be the emperor's move now since Ains's power is evident now.

Great season and certainly better than the last. Ains has shown his power and why he's the true overlord of anime. Too bad they didn't showcase other characters, meaning his subordinates.

9/10.

She didn't show up though. It was probably a red herring. Or maybe they used that as an available chesspiece if they decided to immidietly announce season 4 in the last episode. It seems like they didn't get to use it though, so it remains a silhouette even now.

I don't know, I'm not an LN reader (yet) but I really don't mind this anime. Yeah the CGI was bad but what can you do, it's probably that or no show at all.

It's shocking seeing people complain about cut details - the shows biggest problem is having the pacing of a fucking shounen. S2 and S3 easily should have been only one season

Perfect!! I loved everything about this season, including the animation.
10/10
Episode 8 is definitely not only my favorite episode from this series, but also one of my favorite episodes from all anime.
And I saw no problem at all with the animation in the war. It was perfectly okay. People are nitpicking for no reason.
I'm counting the minutes for the announcement of season 4...

I am more and more inclined to read the light novel instead each time someone says it.

Just do it already. If you have any interest in the word, characters or story the light novel is just a much better experience because the anime does nothi more than adapt the general story of the books but leaves out all the little conversations and details that make the world feel alive and interesting to begin with.

Time Stop into Instant Death is a true combo...

"Gazef sacrificed himself so that we may witness Ainz' power so that we can prepare our defense." Riiiiight....

"Such violence against a child that threw a rock. No one will marry a woman like you."
"Hearing that from you doesn't make me..." Lol. All scripted!

And now the Sorcerer Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown expands forth...

When I watched the first season of Overlord, I found it pretty average and was skeptical of the series at first. But after watching Season 2 and 3, I now understand the kind of anime this is, and I appreciate it a lot more. It's the kind of anime that needs to set up a lot of pieces before initiating the game. And since the pieces were set in seasons 1 and 2, Season three is where the fun kicks in. That being said, season 3 is the best of the seasons, and the subtle humor in this season made it a lot more fun to watch. I had fun with it. And for those complaining about the CGI...well I never read the Light Novels, so no expectations from me!

Sure Ains had a few cool moments here and there, but I really don't feel a "point" to this show anymore.

This is actually what I thought as well. I no longer understand how's the story direction is going ahead anymore.

By the end of S2, I thought there would be a worthy adversary coming up against Ainz but this season doesn't seems to imply that. From some of the spoilers that I had glimpsed here and there, it doesn't seems to be anywhere close too.

Has the LN ended? I hope the humans won't be overcoming Ainz towards the end because I don't think that scenario sit well with me, personally. Even if the show ends with Ainz ruling the entire continent without fear.. I'm not sure what to think about that to be honest..

Mainly missed Albedo's smexy bodeh and her horny alter ego but at least they gave a glimpse of that in the end though so not much disappointed I guess apart from the after effects of that God aweful CG fiesta.
BTW I don't comment much but I noticed the random quotes or their recent watches of the other anime below people's comments. Is it something MAL does randomly or the user does it. If yes, how?
