Loved it! I've been waiting for season 2 to get cracking. I can't wait for more episodes. It's nice they jumped straight into the story and cut out some of the exposition.


Agreed, sometimes simplicity is the wisest decision.

What a way to start of 2018, man. This day will not be forgotten. I hope the Lizardman arc goes by quickly though. Ugh, not really entertaining. Get to my baby Lakyus!!


Interesting choice, Although I have no information on her backstory from the first episode I will agree with you on this. From just the few seconds of screen time she got i felt that she was going to be an important character in the story perhaps as well as the side character climb.

Just from those small pages of her, I felt like I synced with her character. I love her personality and ability to look in between the grey line of things.

It's good to see this show is back. Albedo's return was really good. Got some introduction to the lizardmen. The ending is quite sinister.

Pretty exposition heavy first episode.

The dragon and the woman's conversation was pretty interesting, I don't recall seeing them in the first season.

Albedo as entertaining as ever. xD

Wonder if Ainz is actually gonna punish Shaltear and if he does I wonder what he'll do. :3

The ending was intriguing. Looking forward to more.

And we're back! Boy it had been awhile huh? So long in fact that I found myself grateful a lot of this episode was a recap of sorts with Ainz and Albedo just going over the map. Those first few minutes before Ainz showed up I was feeling a bit lost but then I saw that adorable Hamsuke and things started coming back to me. XD Well it looks like some trouble is building with this lizard tribe judging by the end. Not sure if that monstrous entity was a representative of Ainz but I'm assuming no for right now. Wonder how he'll get involved then if so. Guess we'll see.

and introduced charters of the opposing sides, confirmed the existence of intelligent dragons as well as create the a new enemy. Most likely the church, which has the two character in the beginning of the first episode.

With that being said, we are also given conformation that there either was a similar incident to the one that ainz is in or that there was another person like ainz who died after the, what i believe they said, 300 years, meaning the period of time that Ainz has been in this show is the same. Although that may be a bit of a stretch. However the first episode is indeed a great beginning for both the protagonist, ainz and the new antagonist, most likely the church, Slaine Theocracy.

If anyone else has any theories on thformation we have the easier it will be to consider how this is to play out without, like most spoilers.
Also the next few character may look like this:



Overlord II will be adapting the Lizardmen Arc and the Men of the Kingdom Arc,volumes 4,5 & 6.

Basically Overlord II will showcase Cocytus with the Lizardmen arc.
Sebas,Demiurge and the Pleiades Maids will be featured in the Men of the Kingdom arc.

Zesshi Zetsumei (the silver&black colored girl) should not be seen nor heard from again.
Captain of the Black Scripture (guy talking to Zesshi) should not be seen again.


The Platinum Dragon Lord & Rigrit Bers Caurau scene is from the 7th volume..So getting a bit of foreshadowing on a future plot point.along with some background on a character,who will be introduced for the Men of the Kingdom arc.

And you'll not be seeing the Platinum Dragon again anytime soon,or at least you should not be.

From what I understand Episode 1 aired early in a couple places. January 9th is when it will officially broadcast with a new episode once a week from then on. So that would mean episode 2 should air sometime around January 16th.

Six minutes of exposition from characters we don't know or care about, then sixteen minutes of further meandering.

Come on, you're better than this Madhouse.

With such a terrible first episode, there is no reason for it to be so high up on the list. Hopefully, it'll get better but I have my doubts.

Well I am completely lost at what is going on, must have missed some crap between the seasons, but otherwise am interested in another deep fantasy. Honestly if everyone stopped pretending "real-world-became-mmo" setting to be a smooth transition, the genre would have been somewhat more sophisticate.

I feel like I'm missing something... They just introduced us to a ton of new characters without any explanation of who they are or what's their connection to the plot. Was any of that covered in a previous movie or OVA?

Short answer: Those new characters were there to drop exposition,the first two you'll not see again,the other two....you may see or hear about one of them again this season (not the dragon).

Captain of the Black Scripture was one of the ones fighting Shalltear in season one.The girl he was talking to Zesshi Zetsumei,makes her first appearance in vol 4. Even in the light novel,she plays no part in the story,aside from some heavy foreshadowing.

Overlord II is adapting volumes 4,5 and 6 but the Platinum Dragon Lord & Rigrit Bers Caurau scene is adapted from the 7th vol's intermission.Reason this scene was included could be all the information dropped,which includes a bit on a new character who does play a part later on in the season(Men of the Kingdom Arc).

The first episode of season 02 already kept me at my toes~

Especially the ending, when the Dragon village was invaded by some dark material. I cannot wait to see what happens next xD

As always, I love Albedo-Chan and Ains-Sama relationship [Can't give a SHIP name cos both start with an "A" TT ^ TT]



GO GO ALBEDO!

And as always, this show has too much random characters. Nothing else notable for me this episode. Pretty weak start imo.

I haven't read the LN for almost a year now but it seems like they fast-forwarded straight to the war declaration by Nazarick. Guess they're not going to waste too much time world-building around the Lizardmen lifestyle.

So many character introductions in a short span of time where in the LN it was much more scattered.

Also just noticed Rigrit has the same voice actor as Goku? That's a badass grandma voice.


Noticed the voice too, old woman goku haha.

Are you familiar with the light novel or the other media released?

Began with the intermission chapters from the 4th&7th volumes respectively,the 4th vol's prologue,threw in a bit from the 2nd drama CD.Then went into recap mode...and at the very end began the story.

So in other words just a standard first episode info dump,and a close adaption of the source material.
One thing though...the first four characters introduced,you'll not see two of them again and the other two...not so much either.

Probably going to have three-four episodes covering the Lizardmen Arc,with the remaining episodes covering Sebas and Demiurge.

Finally ! Animation is a few better than the first season, thanks Madhouse <3 I'm not a fan about non-human creatures but the lizardman's arc hyped me so much. I expect of this season more answers about the universe

And the new ending seems great despite the departure of Mayu <3 <3

I believe it was a good episode it introduced to us the characters that will PROBABLY make a huge part of this season it also didn't fail on continuing the season 1. It feels like its just another episode not other season so thats a "+"

Imo the picture quality was quite low, so I think they saved money to make 24+ episodes. If they not, it'll be huge dissapointment for me, cause this is not the quality you expect from a quite popular show sequel.
