Overlord II Episode 9 Discussion

I haven't seen this episode yet, but based on what people are saying I'm dropping the show. It has already bored me like crazy.

My-Iori said:


Nice, I didn't even think of that.

you have the worst timing ever, dropping this season right before the best part of this arc begins lmao. you’re gonna miss out on the fights and the climax. and it’s good that season 2 is showing the true nature of anime only fans - they only care about action and an OP MC stomping on everyone when the novel is NOT about that. good thing we won’t miss guys

Wow the princess has quite the personality(s) at least she care a lot about Climb.

last time I checked Ains was still the main character of Overlord, but even the main supporting cast is being ignored for the sake of 1.dumb fucking lizards that haven't even been mentioned since their arc ended even though so much time was dedicated to their "development" 2.fucking Climb, cause for all I know he too could suffer the same fate as the lizards and be completely forgotten.
Hope of seeing 'a bit more Ains and action' is what has been keeping me from dropping this show, and it has been beyond underwhelming to say the least. I won't drop it now, I will suffer through and enjoy slapping a well-deserved 1/10 at the end.

Just to help clear up a misunderstanding here (which is understandable, considering it has been awhile since it's been important in the anime): 41 refers to the "supreme beings," the Yggdrasil players of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown who created Nazarick, not to its guardians. Of these 41, all but Momonga (now Lord Ainz) had long-since quit the game. The total number of former NPCs in Nazarick is significantly more than 41, but most of them are low-ranked support staff; If I remember correctly, the guardians are just Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Demiurge, Victim (the floating red fetus angel thing we saw earlier in the season), and one more who has only ever been mentioned off-hand, at least as far as I've read (which is only to where this season will end), plus Sebas and the Pleiades also filling a similar role. Well, Pandora's Actor can also be counted, since he's the guardian of the treasury... but I have no idea if we ever really see him again or not.

First off, its not the audience's fault that the show and the author do a poor fucking job of keeping the same theme/perspective/genre. If a movie started the first 1/4 of the movie as an action movie then switched to a drama movie the rest of the way through, would you not have the same thoughts?

World building doesn't matter at all if you don't have enough time to flesh out anything of worth. Yeah it'd be worth fleshing out all the lizardmen and Climb and Brain if there were 80 episodes a season, but when they are moving through content 1 chapter per 4 episodes, shits gonna get left out for sure.

All in all, it doesn't have to be all about Ainz, but don't waste your time fleshing out shit characters and loose threads in your story.

The ending transition was cool. The episode was meh though. Was hoping to see more Sebas.

Were all those maid outfits that Climb found suppose to represent something related towards the princess killing off her maids and getting new ones from the brothels or something? They were the exact same maid outfits hers had at the end.

You mixed up those last words with "Is madly possessive".

I see the anime only's still fill this thread with their inane whinging and ignorance. How surprising. Not

Icedout15 said:
I was okay with not seeing much ainz but can they at least stop wasting our time with super useless weak people like climb and the lizard people...

Killuan said:


Still beats LN readers filling it with spoilers.

Shirasho said:


No shit, Sherlock. This is for the ANIME version of Overlord. Talk about ignorance. Of course we wouldn't know anything about the manga. Piss off to the manga section.

Darklight0303 said:


Nope because you could see plenty that the world of Overlord was the star and the focus was on what Ainz's effect on it was even in season 1. Try harder though.

Shirasho said:


This "see plenty" you speak of is likely because you read the manga and have a difficult time separating the knowledge you have from the manga with what was presented in the show. Go take your bias elsewhere. If you have something to contribute about the series itself then feel free to do so. If all you are going to do is bash the anime viewers because we haven't read the manga then get the fuck out of here.

dantex11 said:
then you don’t deserve to be a fan of overlord. just like many people, you all have the wrong impression on overlord due to season 1 since it had more focus on ainz stomping on everyone. Overlord is NOT about that. why can’t you mindless action-obsessed people who only care about one sided massacre from op MCs understand the concept of world building? jesus christ the anime-only fans of the overlord community is fucking cancer

Shirasho said:


Says the guy saying people don't deserve to be a fan of something.

Im sure others have quoted and answered you as well. I'll echo the same thing. If they didn't want us thinking it was an action series they should have not made season 1 an action series. It is not the fans fault that we were delivered an action series in season 1. That is the producer's fault for making a shitty adaptation that does not reflect what the actual tone of the series is or what the series is really about. Worse, it could be the original writer's fault for not being consistent and changing their story mid-way because they thought what they were writing was trite.

You are also slinging around a very ugly accusation that all these people want are action-filled series. That is not true. We want something meaningful. Think of it this way. Action is like a fine steak. World-building is the sauce. I don't want watered-down piss sauce all over my steak. I'd rather just have the steak with no sauce.

But sure, blame it on the people, because, you know, they have full control over the content they receive.

joe_g7 said:
I'm done being polite with you guys.

@Jokuc That's my point, I'm here for the Nazarick characters, Shalltear, Cocytus, Albedo, the Maids, Sebas, all of them, not just Ainz or OP action scenes. But they've been completely thrown aside in their own anime.

@VW_guy Look around a bit in the episode discussions, I'm not the only one that is disappointed. I just like expressing my opinion every week.

JanitraE said:
That transition to the ending sequence is just ... amazing *o*

Shirasho said:


Good plan. I've learned that the Overlord manga readers in these forums are dumb as bricks and are not open to the possibility that the anime and manga are two completely separate pieces of media despite being about the same thing. They let their manga knowledge bleed into their minds and fool themselves into believing that anime viewers would have the same information.
