| Well, but the Lizzard start very bloody!!! |
| Damn it, I knew I had a reason to worry when I saw the trailers. Fucking lizard people taking valuable screen time away from the main cast. If this anime got 24 instead of 13 episodes maybe I wouldn't complain, but the lizard people have already gotten significantly more screen time than everyone else. And from the OP and ED, it appears that they'll be reoccurring characters, finna end me. Sure this arc is in the novels and all, but out of all the things they could have decided to cut out or shorten in the anime, they decide to leave this slop in. Literally, anime studios always cut shit out of the anime that makes no sense to do so, but the one time it'd make sense to do so, they dedicate an entire episode and probably an entire season for it. Blarg. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| the episode was ok i guess. So is the war between lizards and the nazarick? also no ost yet.... |

FackuIkari said: So basically I'm the only one that has no problem with the lizards story... alright then... Nah I didn't mind it either. I came here and am surprised at how many people are whining about this. This set up reminds me of the anime GATE which is heavily rooted in politics and tactics with action sprinkled in (which I enjoyed). I found it interesting that the group about to be wiped at is strategizing to prevent their demise and there was a good bit of comedy sprinkled in too. I was not a LN reader but don't mind the direction this is taking. |

| So that was the new sound of Myth and Roid, not bad. |
 |
| that was fuckin weird. so far this season doesnt come close to the last one imo |
| Scream! |
| I don't care much about the lizards but the episode was ok. It was fairly enjoyable, the interactions between the guy and girl lizard were funny. |
| so it's basically the season where author wanted to vilify the main character? |
 |
| I actually enjoy this storyline more than the main one, but having seem Ainz's side does have a great effect of raising the tension and making you doubt they're survival, or rather, it makes you question if there's even a chance. There's this shadow of futility in their every action and damn does it build so much suspense for me. I wanna root for them but their struggle feels pretty damn futile |

Was it really necessary to spend that much time on it? Akaome_Nanashi said: who cares about lizards and lizards Trebolz said: Is this overlord, or overlizard? Like wtf? KorudoKun said: Now, this isn't what I bargained for. I'd like to see more of Ains RegulusNeil said: come on Ainz didnt appear this episode they should at least make the lizard intro a bit short MrFalkers said: Felt like this was 1 episode wasted on lizards that no one cares about LF2005 said: to summarise, it was another boring episode, so disappointing, the main plot is stuck in place & we see a side story that soon wont matter hiraishinx said: now it´s about some boring and not important lizards ?? Comander-07 said: Felt almost like some sort of filler, or cashgrab OVA material. No Albedo, No Ainz, no goth loli, atleast one of the pleiades grills was around. For 10 seconds. Pls somebody tell me it will get better than this? Well that's lots of people going into this anime having no idea what it's gonna be like. I'm sorry to disappoint but this is not a filler, it's an actual arc in the light novel, so expect more lizard episodes. Everything isn't about Ainz, the arcs in Overlord is about different people in the world and how Ainz affect them, so for this arc, the lizardmen ARE the MCs. There will be more cool stuff, but that's after the lizards. So second half of this season unless they speed things up. I liked this episode. Lizards are cool. the fact that something is in the LN/VN or manga doesn't make it not a filler. filler is any episode that doesn't progress the main plot. |

| I didn't expect this series to be about horny lizardpeople and food shortages. The whole business with vampire loli was pretty dull already but this makes me think I overestimated this title very much. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Not Ains this episode but I still enjoyed it a lot. I'm super into the lizard plotline and that lizard flirting was amazing xD |

| Never thought I'd find lizard-fanservice so pleasing. This was a lot of fun xDDD Geez the amount of people that are bothered by it and so intensely impatient - this is the second episode - overlord 1 really wasn't that interesting in episode 2 yet as well lol I think it was fun - I'm curious to see how these lizard tribes will come into contact with ainz and co. soon |
| Something something something |
the word building was already made in 1st season, this plot will only be just another badge in Ainz Ooal Gown chest. they should gave it a max of 15m. they receive a threat>they decide to make an alliance>they get crushed and converted to undeaths & them we find out the answer to Albedo's question. |

No, the world building are the other nations, politics, races, wars, characters and so on. It's their lives, struggles and goals being exposed as well as how they react to the rise of a powerfull villain threatening their existence. You know, like a proper fantasy show should be. If you only want to see Ainz's waifus and Ainz himself reckting everybody without any context, then there's plenty of isekai that follows such formula already. Funny thing is that those shows are always criticized for being the same harem bs and otaku pandering and now Overlord goes a different route and people still bitch about it...lol. Why won't you guys just admit your only interest in anime are sexy waifus and moe? It's sad! |

It's sad! the plot was already set in S1, it was him finding his friends if they are also traped, make a name for himself and conquering the world while at it. anything that doesn't advances those goals is a filller, for example in naruto we see him tryning his Rasengan for about 9 whole episodes (thats a filler), and this is not much different. what it has to do with Albedo, not much, only expect to get the answare to a question that was throwed |

He is extremely curious and wants to explore the world. The world has to be interesting and detailed for that to not be boring. Showcasing different kingdom politics and culture, especially of non-human races, is extremely important to the story. In most of the arcs featuring Ainz, he does not progress at all in the main "plot" you are describing. He is no closer to find comrades or other players in any of the arcs so far. They are no different than this arc since the goal here is to secure a source of stable undead army with high stats, which is part of the "conquering the world". Ainz can't just solo the conquest. He needs to build up infrastructure and gain political foothold with his cause (whether manufactured or real), etc. You are merely presented with the POV from the opposing side, which is a common thing to do in literature I'd like more anime and Japanese LN series to use. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| lol, it's a lizardmen episode. Don't really care but hopefully it's a build up for something better. |

I find your lack of understanding so so disturbing |
| Reptiles were okay in Suikoden III, and they're kind of cute here. |
| Filler episode 2 ? |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| meh, boring episode |
| What a relief other people found this at best mediocre. Still rated above an 5 LOL. With all these Lizardmen I would loved to have seen a doorway to the Restaurant of another world appear and save it from being a complete waste of any episode. |
| Crusch Lulu is adorable and I can understand the lizard dude's reaction completely. Human or not I'd ask to marry her too. HOWEVER I NEED MORE OF MY LORD. This is a mighty need that is not being fulfilled. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I got what I expected, lots of lizardmen tribes, lets see how it will end. :) The comments in here are hilarious, do people seriously hate world building? Because thats what I have seen until now, extreme hate aggainst world building, they just want more of the big breasted, the loli, or the MC rushing everything, its like asking for one punchman to punch the enemies on the first minute of every the episode Seriously if you dont want complicated stories, go watch hentai. Overrall decent episode, my only complains are the low budget art and that they made this into an anime. (Why is this a bad thing? because it brings the infestation of mainstream weaboos) Bet if the lizardmen where instead a big load of big breasted elves declaring their love to ains, 99% of the complaining people would shut up immediatly. |

| BTW, all this world building about the Lizardmen would become a little bit relevant again for the content of LN volume 7 (would be covered in a potential anime season three) and very important again for the content of LN volume 11 (would be covered in a potential anime season four). |

Anime ga daaaai suki!!! Computer Engineering. Japan is awesome!!! |
| Lizard flirtling was hilarious lol wasnt the best episode but its ok to have these kinda episodes time to time. (world-building,side story ,filler episode,build up episode whatever you call them i dont really know) ------------------------------------------------- Comments says this isn't just a one episode thing its entire arc so thats sounds little scary. Like i said im ok with these kinda episodes time to time but entire arc is no , its only 13 episode already when is the 8.36(rating) stuff when is the episodes that deserves our hype. |

| Holy hell that sucked. If this were an anime about Lizard people then yeah, awesome history lesson with good character building. But, its not. All this back story in an anime such as this is pointless because the lizards will lose and our hero MC will save the day. Far too much focus on a backstory that will later mean nothing. Wasted time. |

That kinda killed this anime for me though. Starting to feel like hes becoming the main villain and ultimate evil in that world. Not personally interested in watching a villain origin story. |

At the end of the day his priority has always been Nazarick above all else. This has not changed. He is not out to be loved by everyone in the world. He wants to learn about it and find out if there are others like him brought to this world. For that he needs power and knowledge. Both arcane and military. Ainz was never truly a hero. he never claimed to be a hero. Momon is just an act created to learn thing from a more down to earth perspective of an adventurer. That and to spread the fame of his legendary deeds. nothing more. |

He is a skeleton leading a huge dungeon/guild of monsters/demons/undead. There was plenty of times on season 1 that showed that ains did not care about the humans, only the benefits of intel and other things they could provide to him. Too bad that you are dissappointed, but not everyone in anime has to be a hero. (Actualy calling him a god rather than a hero would be better considering how he toys with everything like gods do) |

Comander-07 said: people are bitching around because this is the worst arc of Overlord, it has been in the LN, it has been in the manga, it will be in the anime. But the anime has the freedom to skip stuff or just adjust the pacing. The lizards are super unimportant, this anime is not about lizards, its about ainz. So the whole lizardman arc is barely a sidestory. And dont come with "slow story progression" they will all die anyway and never return after that because they are side characters. Go watch one of the other billion anime if you want fucking lizards doing generic stuff ah you think people bitching around because this is worst arc? read again all comment before me what i means slow story progression is anime adapt story full course from LN when just use one episode for introduction for whole story and you think they will all die plus their appearance is useless? of course i dont want spoiler funny thing what you said is "Go watch one of the other billion anime if you want fucking lizards doing generic stuff" say where i comment and rant "I like lizard fucking each other and dont care about story" next arc become overbutler and his maid , of course with "where ainz goddamit" |
| So much sexual tension between those 2 lizardmen!! OMFG! SO MUCH. HAHAHA |
| My man Zaryusu fell quick. I should've taken lessons from him. Korakora59 said: so it's basically the season where author wanted to vilify the main character? Oh no. This, my friend, is just the start.... or rather, the middle. The first season already showed Ainz isn't a saint. This is simply where he loses all the subtlety. |
 |
| I do not know but that albino lizard has become my seasonal waifu |
