Well I suppose it's time for Climb to put his training to good use.

Not bad this episode but it felt knida like a buildup again. As for Sebas, I still wonder what's going on in his mind right now. He certainly is still in top shape when it comes to fighting. On the other hand, Climb still need to improve a lot. He almost got destroyed by Sebas...

Damn, an excruciating cliffhanger this week, but I liked the episode a ton. Sebas being all badass and training Brain and Climb. You know, I haven't really even liked Brain to this point, but he was cool this week. Meanwhile poor Climb. Such an earnest, likeable character but I see doom in his future. Everyone he meets claims he has no talent so his success seems almost solely reliant on his devotion to Princess Renner. A princess who, if her appearance in the ed is any indication, is probably not what she seems. I see a cruel fate for him, unless maybe Sebas decides to take him under his wing fulltime like that girl he rescued. Honestly I wouldn't even mind a Sebas spinoff just traveling the land being all badass with his disciples. XD But well, that would be a different kind of show I suppose so now let's just watch the action go down ever more next week as this unlikely trio attempts a hideout raid!

Those "fights" were pretty lame and I'm disappointed that they didn't follow up on Solution's report to Ainz yet. Hopefully we get less setup and more payoff next episode

Edit: Also, Climb is basically a standard shounen protagonist.

Damn, i start to watch this episode and 2 minutes later was already ended, so good. Is a pain to wait another week but we get some Sebas in action, Unglaus and Climb join the party, destination is the brothel. I'm sure they will completely erase it. Humans are no match for Sebas after all. :D

Now that was amazing!! Sebas showcasing his insanely powerful strength and speed. The way he caught those daggers with his fingers reminded me of Sabastian from Black Butler but he used knives to kill his opponents instead of catching them. Can't wait for the next episode!!! :)

This episode was a bit slow overall, and unfortunately you can feel the mid-season slump (admittedly just a little late) in full force with some of the animation and that pretty meh fight scene... But chuunibyo Lakyus was great, and next episode will be substantially more exciting.

This whole episode felt really bad imho (talk about a bad adaptation). Good thing I decided to read the LN from the point we left last episode, which is also the point where there's no more manga chapters to read. So, I guess that's the reason why this episode felt even worse than the others: they don't have the manga to use as a guideline, so they started doing their own thing.

Silly Climb, willing to overcome the fear of death for Princess Renner.
He obviously never watched the ending credits and saw Renners transformation into Evil Anime Character Incarnate

Otherwise, good episode, sets up alot of groundwork for the next one

I see more people complaining about people complaining than I do people actually complaining, not that people don't have a right to complain of course, this season is pretty trash.

It is not 'world building' to ignore a cast of main characters the audience has come to know and love in order to introduce 20 new characters over 2 episodes and not only expect you to remember their names, but to expect you to actually care about their irrelevant subplots and pathetic struggles. I will not say that I only want to see the MMORPG content with Ainz and the group and nothing else, sometimes these side characters are interesting, but tangents aren't world building, they're fucking tangents. Also comments like 'hurr durr dis anime is abut wurld bilding read de novlz' only make my position easier to maintain.

Hmm... Thirteen Heroes, huh? I seem to recall there being 13 players in the Ains Ooal Gown guild, so that's definitely interesting, whether the two are connected or not.

Other than that, I'm kinda disappointed we didn't get to see the consequences of Solution's conversation with Ains at the end of last week's episode, but what we did get was still pretty decent at least, so I'm not too bothered if they hold back on that until next week.

So far season 2 has almost completely taken away everything that made season 1 so much fun - episode 8 is no exception.

I don't care about these characters. I couldn't care less about Brain or Climb. I just want to go back to watching Ainz try and take over the world.

Well, but that's fandom in a nutshell.
and on a broader sense, that's internet in a nutshell and that's society in a nutshell.

Fairly speaking, it is world-building.
Although I agree with your point that it doesn't give enough excuse for them to put aside the skeleton boss a lot of people were in love with.
And yeah, most of these new characters are shite.

There were 41 players in Ains Ooal Gown, who the floor guardians often refer to as the 41 Supreme Beings (this was also what Sebas alluded to in a recent episode when he told Tsuare "there are 41 beings stronger than I am, and perhaps a few more," with the "few more" being some of the floor guardians; Shalltear in particular has been singled out a few times as being possibly the strongest in sheer combat ability). Exactly how many of them have been referenced by name at this point though, I couldn't say exactly.

I am getting concerned of how much they are planning of cutting from the 6th novel at this rate...

Anyway, I am curious if the next episode is going to include Staffan's "backstory" and motivation, because that is probably the darkest part about this novel.

to anyone that says they don't care about the side characters and just wants to see ainz kick ass, Overlord is not for you

Overlord is about building up side characters (in the novel, those side characters are treated as MCs), making you care for them for 9/10 of the whole book, then at the last 1/10 gets stomped by Ainz Ooal Gown

If you don't care about character build up and just want mindly dumb stomping from the MC, there are plenty of shows like that out there, you don't have to watch Overlord

Also, you'll hate season 3 if they ever have one in the future

It was amazing, such "slow" pace actually being a smooth union of three promising Heroes of Justice. From here it begins, divide into two obvious sides, with wild cards being there to prove an ultimate challenge! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 20 EPISODES ENDURING THAT NAZARICK SCUM!!

This episode was pretty much filler. There was one thing that caught my interest, though. They showed a flashback of the Princess picking climb up from the streets. I wondered why the Princess just chose to adopt or whatever a random urchin from, and now they show this:

That is not a benevolent fucking smile! That's a yandere smirk if I've ever seen one!

Boy this is plainly laid out in the ending, she is insane, see her segment with Climb standing behind her, and pause when the screen starts flashing to a more "honest" image.

Man the light novel was so interesting, but man in the anime lots of things are skipped and starting to get boring.
I know all of them are trying their best to make a good show for us but cant help but say that if u skip parts from the novel it will really suck.
Well still overlord anime is still much better paced "death march...".

Lmao, Gagaran would crush Climb if he ever slept with her xDD

While at first I thought Sebas was doing what Ains has been telling everyone, thinking by himself without consulting Ains for every little detail, now I'm slightly worried that he might be attracting too much attention to himself.

Yo virgin, that was a funny way to get someone's attention.

Ah so they have heard about Momon & Narberal, I wonder if they will interact at some point, Evileye is fighting against Entoma in the opening so they might.

I knew Climb would overcome that trial, he cares too much about the princess for him to fail that, it was quite the experience though.

Brain seems to have gotten his motivation back, those 3 made shorts work of those assassin's.

Will be interesting to see what happens next with those 3 together for a bit.
