Kinda wished they showed Ainz's face here.


How much do you want to bet that it was his face in real life?


Hmm. Never even considered that. That would be a nice twist if it were true. Though Ainz did say that face was just an illusion.

Is this really 13 episodes long? It's 5 episodes already and barely any story development for something that seems only a prologue.

Damn this is too short, there isn't enough time for the awesomeness of the Overlord.

Nabe scene on stairs was priceless to see.

Also: no bunny ears scene?

seems like I have to read the LN.

Well, if every episode would be pure OPness of Ainz, it would get boring too.
So I guess an episode like this once in a while is OK.

I still think we need more Albedo in every episode. I want to see her in action.

Rory from gate will get her action next week, so I still havent made my mind who is best waifu of the season ^^

Mostly talking in this episode but some new characters were introduced and it looks like something big will be coming sooner or later based on that ending
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Yes we need more Albedo going crazy. Another good episode though I fear that 13 episodes will be too short for the world they are trying to build.

This should have been 24 episodes long instead of just 13! SAO got 25 first season straight away and only half of those were used for substantial plot. This needs two times more world building and gets half of the length.

When he was talking to Nabe in the Tavern he definitely said outloud - "If we use that(gold money), it's like publicly announcing we're from Yggdrasil. Even if there are other players here, they may not all be friendly."

They just think they got transported into another world from their original one which didn't feel like a game to them.

(Former) NPC know their world was "Yggrasil" and they are now in the different one than their original. They may not be fully or consciously aware it was a "game", I believe they think of it as their real/original world. I am not sure if Albedo used the world "game" herself though. If she did, she may still not fully aware of the game. She may be using the term just because Overlord used it. And who is going to argue? If Overlord says black is write, then black is white, so if he calls the Ygrassil a game, then it is a game.

There was quite a lot of action in the last 2 episode though.

We don't play "kill them all" in unknown lands all the time, information has more priority.

This was a pretty bad episode. Especially compared to the previous ones. The worst part were humans mainly spouting expositions instead of talking. I also feel like they skipped some important parts since Momonaga's subjects were suddenly talking about Yggdrasil players and he himself told Albedo about "editing her settings". It's a pretty huge jump from "demon overlord arriving in a new world" to "looking for other players with NPCs".

So, plot = boring to most people. Why am I not surprised?

Very good episode, everything was moving properly, there were well placed bits of humor to move things along as well, I am looking forward to the moment when the three main characters introduced this episode (two at the end and the magic user), all of whom think they are such a big deal and are trying to manipulate the MC, figure out just how small they truly are.

Nice scenes: MC not knowing how powerful his potions are; MC reaction when he realizes just how much his followers hate humans. The Theocracy losing another power item (that's got to hurt).

Negative: I know I am alone on this, but less Albedo gushing would be welcomed. She can be as obsessed without the antics. Thats the only thing I think disrupts the positive flow this show has.

It's pretty apparent (for me atleast and some others) that Madhouse fucked up the adaption really bad. Sure they are trying but I just can't take that animation style seriously. The anime can't convert the feel of the novel with 13 episodes. It was probably impossible from the start.

Probably be a second season if I had to guess.

Knowing Madhouse, the chances of a 2nd season is 0.01%.

Another excellent world-building episode. I loved how Momonga manages to eloquently manipulate the conversation to head exactly where he wants it to go, those are some excellent peopled skills right there.

Essentially he took Nabe out to explore the new world, which I would consider a good thing, seeing as most of his subjects would rather rip the heads off humans than negotiate with them. If he weren't there, they'd cause chaos amongst the humans. It was interesting that his format of gaining information was to join the Guild, since it allows them access to the new worlds currency, whilst meeting their first objective as well.

I'm hoping that they manage to sneak it into the next episode somewhere. I'll be somewhat pissed if they don't include the Dakimakura scene. That was pure comedy.

Even though not much happened, great episode. Really loving this show with each episode that pass by. I'm really diggin' Momonga's armor and his character so far. Also, liking Nabe. Looking forward to next episode.

As a light novel reader, the only good thing about this anime is the faithfulness of the adaption. The execution of the plot is subpar, and I don't have anything else to say about the animations. We got blocky CG flying sticks instead of archangels. Now in the latest episode, the psychotic Clementine was replaced by the female version of the Grinch. Quite honestly, the only to look forward to is the progression of the plot, which I hope doesn't adapt far.
