Does Overlord has any competition?

Every enemy he faces are weak, act powerful but gets defeated easily.
This makes the show much predictable.
Happy watching

Wait, did you just watch the anime? How far are you caught in in the Light Novel or manga? Give us the basic details.

Anything Overlord related is definitely worth the time to discuss, research, examine, and rewatch. Overlord is a masterpiece and should only be looked as such.

Why do you like Lakyus, she's barely had any action in the light novels so far?

Yeah, i'm interested in the way she thinks. Her ability to look in between the grey line. You can tell she likes to be ahead of the game and that no one's action, words, or being goes unnoticed. I can not wait to have more of her. She reminds me of me

If u wanna look based on the novel there are several individuals which could be inferred or speculated to be a "tough" or worth-while opponent, this includes the platinum dragon lord or even zesshi zetsumei which maruyama proclaimed to be at least stronger than the pleiades

This just got my attention...this is what I think is wrong with this series even if it is otherwise both very good and interesting...no competition, no strong enemies, curp-stomp every-time = Getting totally boring....Rather that Ainz meets strong enemy that makes him go all out to get beat down the arrogance too...


And no...do not mention OP-man aka Saitama as comparison...

He's an overlord of death, there's no point in his title if he can't scare and intimidate naturally his opponents whether he kills them slowly or easily. With that in line, It's a success that;

A black scripture member begged for his life.
An insane lady fighter became much more madder.
A bunch of Lizardmen shuddered with panic.
When he experimented on the worker's lives without compassion.
When he made hundred of thousands soldiers cries and run beyond terror.
He ruined an emperor's life with just his presence.

You're wishing a competition in the wrong show...

Honestly, this Anime is carried on the back of the side characters.

All of them are actually amazing.


If anyone disagrees tell me why and I can tell you why you're wrong.

Has anyone read the LN. can anyone tell me if the second season will be as good if not better than the 1st? No spoilers ples.

I'd assume.. Better?

Climb with Longinus. That should piss off its rabid fans enough not to grief the author from expanding his created world far-beyond the bone man they want the LNs to be about every time.

I've read the LN up to vol 9. Yeah, it's a harem. Not in the way you imagine harem to be (that is, it's not the typical anime harem).

READ THE FUCKING LN


I have. It's not a masterpiece. Its characters are okay. The story is just decent. The setting is stock and boring with little possibility of looking up since the world-building is trash. Which is a shame because the underlying narrative and conflicts are great. Exhibit A, the beginnings of my preliminary review:

Overlord’s second season continues with Ainz Ool Gown’s struggle to control a situation that already slipped out of his control, propelled by his ever-faithful minions’ tendency misconstrue his word as gospel, his musings as genius, and his luck as omniscience, as well as their fear that he would leave them as his guildmates already have. He’s all they have left of the great beings they worship, and by jove they will raze the world to the ground in his name if that’s what it takes to keep him by their side.

It is the great tragedy of Ainz Ool Gown that his inability to let go of the past chains him to the escalating situation his “children” deems necessary to please him.

The purpose of Overlord isn't to show domination with overwhelming MC singular power like say every Isekai tends to drift towards, instead it is more about worldbuilding and how the characters interact with each other, we see that domination isn't all about power it is about influence and planning, as well as perception, certain sections place side characters as the main and then we see how they interact, take Climb for instance, to the Zaryusa in the upcoming arc, we have characters with the nexus of interactions culminating in Ainz story.

I haven’t watched episode one yet because I have been busy but aside from the lizardman arc which is probably the most boring part of the light novel it does get much better and lucky for you this season will probably focus a lot of the side characters. Sebas will become a beast.
