THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Felt like this was an important episode in regards to future of Nazarick.

This alliance is still complicated though. And at the same time, it felt more like a bulidup again for an possible war in the future. Gazef is aware of how powerful Ainz really is. I find it kinda nice to see some familiar faces again outside of the Empire.

Next episode should be pretty exciting.

Every other characters underestimate overload & get destroyed by the overload latter on. Viewers enjoy the reaction of characters. That pretty much sum it up Overlord anime.

Happy watching

This entire episode was the buildup, quite boring at some points too. I can only hope that the payoff will be at least mildly satisfying, but after watching 10 episodes of this anime, and seeing just how much CGI Madhouse uses, I don't have high hopes.

A slow buildup episode. Okay I guess? The CG at the end with the skeletons were bad. Madhouse can do better than this and it's a shame their CG animation is not up to the mark.

Is it because I read the novels, I do not know why but I can not enjoy the show and also pacing is weird even the parts I am expecting to be cool do not have any effect :(

ps: except first season

Well the LN had much to the mind games and impressions which cannot be summed up in the animation. But still its exciting when you know what's coming.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

To the people who don't know the LN



Splat is just a week or two away depending on the pace! People with high moral ground, ready yourselves. If Arche and co's death weighed down on you then I suggest you ready yourselves for what is to come.

Depends on the pacing, the episode might end with the summoning.

I seriously want the anime to show how that dumb prince is gonna suffer from

I mean, isn't it Ainz alone is enough to win this war? or even enough to conquer the world, kinda feels like playing gta and stealing cars but stopping at traffic lights lol.

Pretty decent buildup episode. The payoff that we'll see soon should be good, as this will definitely be a slaughter-fest.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

damn Ainz have a very minimum screen time in this episode.

spoil me, will Gazef died, or survive the slaughter?

and yes, I think next week gonna focus on Carne Village (ep 11), then the main splat scene (ep 12), and the epilogue after the slaughter (ep 13).

The war is ready to begin.

And it's always annoying to see Climb lol

And it's always fun to hear Honyopenyoko, again lol

Ahhh, The Death Flag. I liked it as always.

And I'm sure that Ainz's army isn't Death Knight,
why tf Madhouse always ruin it.

Barbro Prince is going to Carne Village, but seriously, I don't want to see Nfirea again, I never like him, and they wasted 5 episode for 'his' 'world building'. But whatever, next episode

I have a feeling Climb, Gazef or Brain will die in the coming battle...probably Gazef. The "we'll meet here again and we'll get drunk" is raising a looooot of flags.

Too much talking and side characters' itroductions. The entirety of the nobility sent to the battlefield's going to evaporate anyway, knowing their names won't make the audience sympathetic...especially to the one noble who received a scene with his offspring. Also, and this is a general complaint, what's with nearly ALL members of royal familes and nobility being blonde? Have character designers ran out of ideas? Whatever, if they get vicously, graphically killed on screen, especially blonde female cast, i'll be more than glad to see wasted sceentime redeemed.

Overall, it was a boring episode (on par with sentient, bipedal lizards and village plebs). The remaining 2-3 had better compensate greatly. AND GIVE ME ALBEDO BEHEADING MORE PUNY MORTALS!!!

A death flag after another was raised. I doubt Climb will die as Renner and Ains are most likely working together as the "do not dye your armor" seems more like "you must be very easy to spot to avoid you getting killed by people that knows I want to see you suffer but I cannot stay in the battle and thus your death will await" kind of feeling.

Stronoff might end being a pawn of Ains and Gazef dead because he will come to understand where the SHALLTEAR BLOODFALLEN lives and all. I assume.

Sometimes I feel bad to not have read the light novel but at least I have the surprise effect!

I felt there was something off with the summoning of dull knights. So Madhouse is being cheap ass again. I hope they won't downgrade the actual battle as well. I mean the obvious massacre.

Neighbor, you are grossly underestimating Renner here. I think there will be some very pleasant reveals in your near future.
