Only the butthurt haters use that excuse.
Ainz was not even among the strongest players in the game before he got send to another world.
He's a business man/gamer turned overlord, and overlord will be one of the best selling anime of the year.


Even if it is, it'll still be better than most anime ever made XD

Lol. So you're saying that a fantasy premise that turns into full-blown mystery while still keeping the action and supernatural elements intact and relevant isn't unique? aight m8.

The Overlord adaptation is going slowly, so it's going to take a while before someone who was among the top players in the game (and ends up getting even stronger since he takes the guild weapon with him) gets to an actual challenge. Even though the elements that I liked so much about it from the LNs are significantly less apparent in the anime, it's still unique and far from what you describe it as.

As for Souma, just because the MC 'can never get expelled' doesn't make the show bad. For all your suspense needs, there are plently of contests and competitions in the show, where Souma does NOT always come out on top. You know you were exaggarating.

A full blown unnecessary mystery. Like why can't they just fucking move on to the actual enemy instead of wasting their time on this bullshit?

Tylaen said:


A story written as a mystery should focus on something it's not? I guess you missed the thing holding them there.

Shingeki No Bahamut Is what you're looking for, if it's not sort of evil versus good you're searching for.

Kruzy said:


The story is about 6 heroes going to fight the big evil boss and the introduction of this "mystery" will just delay the main plot of the series of happening resulting in just another incomplete story.

Tylaen said:


If the most important thing for you to experience Is a quick slaying of a big bad, then you're looking for the wrong things In the wrong show.

Kruzy said:

I'm not looking for a quick slaying, I'm just looking for a show that doesn't waste time on pointless stuff.

Kruzy said:


A full blown unnecessary mystery. Like why can't they just fucking move on to the actual enemy instead of wasting their time on this bullshit? Also not everything unique is good, not that this really is.

Overlord is just another stuck in game adaptation, I want to see what is so unique about this.

A series that is about proving yourself in the hardest cooking school ever and forcing your way to the top does need a lot of suspense and Soma came out winning or in a tie in every important match so far, all he has to do is put on his bandana.

Tylaen said:


Sounds like you're just not In agreement with the authors priorities and their current situation, which you deem as unimportant because it does not appeal to your sweet spots.

omfgplzstop said:


XD
They can't deal with the actual enemy if one of them is working for that actual enemy. I don't care whether you find it good or not, but please keep in mind that I provided it as a UNIQUE anime, as per the user's request. I don't have anything else to say, as Tylaen already posted with most of what I had in mind.

Overlord is another stuck in game adaptation, except this time the MC has a personality and tries to abuse the power he had while in the game to make up for his loneliness after all his actual friends leave him alone in that world. By doing shit none of the characters in other stuck in game adaptations would ever do.

As long as it's enjoyable, I really couldn't care less about suspense. You might be looking for a different show, but I'm going to enjoy Shokugeki the way it is.

Kruzy said:
It's unimportant because the series only has so much time and spending it on a game of Cluedo instead of world building and introduction of the antagonists as well as their and the protagonists motives. Meanwhile the "mystery" is introducing conflicts that could have happened at a better/more crucial time and not during the build up of the series.

Kruzy said:
I'm more interested in knowing why you would think that the current thing they're doing is in anyway good.

Tylaen said:


Rokka No Yuusha Is adapting volume 1 of the LN of the same name. The build up already happened and it was towards the main plot of the first novel, which is now being translated very faithfully into 1 cour. What you're asking for Is a rushed sprint towards the middle of the show which I can't even begin to comprehend because from what I've heard, literally every volume of the LN has mystery as the core of it's entertainment. The mystery Is the core of the story, even if it seems to be In a misplaced fantasy world.

Tylaen said:


A part from the misleading start, I've found that I enjoy the tension that the mystery provides.





Etc. That's probably the short version, though.

Kruzy said:
Except that it's been pretty obvious since the beginning of the mystery who the 7th is and it wasn't necessary to pay that much of attention.

Tylaen said:


You know that "Why" and "How" are essential parts of a mystery, right?

Kruzy said:
As essential as being actually mysterious and not plainly obvious. And the "Why" is revealed by the characters themselves when they realized that there was a fake amongst them.

Tylaen said:


We'll see If you're right, then. That you find the mystery boring because you have a main suspect and possibly know why, but not how Is all dandy with me albeit I'm unable to see how that makes their current predicament worthless and have to be skipped.

Infact, you haven't given me anything on your opinion a part from that they should move on because it's not good enough for you. That the series hasn't even finished airing yet just makes this conversation harder.

Kruzy said:


I don't just suspect that character, I was 100% sure of it before I looked it up.
It's worthless and has to be skipped because the anime doesn't have time to spend on that and even the novels could have spent the time better. It would have been a complete different thing if it was a 2 cour show.

Tylaen said:


Yeah, you're just repeating yourself now.

See you at the end of the season Kruzy.

Kruzy said:


That's what we've been doing the whole time.

black1blade said:

Overlord is just so meh. I couldn't even be bothered to watch the latest episode so I dropped it.

Godhood said:

ngnl was very entertaining and smart

Coolspot said:
Its more main-stream now. Out with the old fans in with the everyday people soon anime will just be another art form and it will have pages on IMDB and such and a site like this will seem pointless.

Godhood said:

what cliches and why is that bad?

Kruzy said:
The issue is that some studios/anime makers are afraid of trying something out of the box to bring something fresh and special to the medium. I would prefer shows like that over generic harem LN adaptation #569.

Jerkhov said:

Saya no Uta is a VN lol

TerriccotaPie said:

Yes it is. Im not saying VN adaptations are bad by default, but 99% of recent ones are so bad.

aka unnecessary elements. Venus Project is more unique because it's about idols fighting with VR mechas that are controlled with their singing. Doesn't mean that it introduces anything good that makes it worth remembering.

Abusing his powers would mean to take over the world in an instant which he could do with how powerful he is but naaah. Also Log Horizon's character have more personality and they explore the game a lot more than Overlord.

That's a stupid comeback. In other words "I've nothing to say so I'll try to get out of the discussion by mentioning enjoyment because I can't agree that a show I like has issues".

CG-Silver said:
I don't understand why there is so much arguing on this topic. If you think all anime nowadays are generic piece of harem and moe shit then just stop watching and find some new hobby since "anime is just a waste of time now" or just watch the right anime. It's really that simple because the industry won't take your arguing into consideration and make shows that "suit" your taste.
