They are both 2 of the most popular Video Game Animes released not too far apart, with OP protagonist trapped in the game they played...
While they are obviously not identical, they are close enough to get recommended/compared as a similar show.

Yeah, and your point literally is "SAO IS NOT AN ISEKAIIII!!!!!!"...
So ? As i said, they have enough similarities in the plot/setting to get compared and recommended between each other.

He makes a thread and asks people if they’ve read the thread when you’ve already written a opinion because you read it in the first place. Isn’t that ironic.

there is absolutely no similarities to SAO at all whatsoever besides the protagonist being op. OVERLORD isn't a trapped in game story like SAO either. the mc and his guild base from the game get sent to a very much real isekai world. its nothing to do with the game anymore. the only reason things from the game are even in the Isekai world are because players have been sent there in the past.

yeah, it actually happens a lot. whenever people say SAO is an isekai, it pisses me off. if its an isekai, what about Bofuri and Infinite Dendrogram?

Bro do you know what Isekai Is? and by definition SAO Is and isekai.

isekai= characters being trasported from their everyday world to another world, often a fantastic or virtual reality setting.

Bofuri isnt an isekai because She can go back to his everyday Life without problems and consequences, so you are factually wrong

identical no, but have some similarities, both In a fantasy world, a game world, with an harem(kinda), bot OP in their verse(kirito not too much), and initially trying to escape this world, Overlord>>>> Bcs of world Building, but still, having the same genre and settings can give ppl the same impression.

I can see where your coming from but I wouldn't really say OVERLORD is a harem. it's also not a game world either. Ainz isn't looking to go back to his world, he just wants to find his friends.

I watched both but I wouldn't compare them.

The only similarity is both protagonists started out in a game. After the protagonists are "trapped" in the game world that is where the similarities end.

In SAO, they are trying to defeat the game to return to reality, while in Overlord at first the protagonist is exploring the "game" world and later decides to rule it.

Yeah same thing happens with sao cause the mc comes back to the real world multiple times so what are YOU talking about? At first he is trapped but ends up being able to get out sure the majority of the story takes place in the game worlds but that isn’t isekai since it’s just a virtual world. Overlord is an isekai cause he literally can’t go to his original world

forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure in SAO Kirito was trapped in Swort Art Online in which he beta tested and Ainz got trapped in a game in which he played with his friends

You’re technically wrong.

Any parallel world concept is considered isekai. Yes, Kamen Rider Decade IS an isekai show, despite the mc being able to go back to any worlds at any time.

Unable to go back ISN’T part of the isekai thing. Certain demon lord saving his previous life in Japan also doesn’t make the show not an isekai.

Isekai can also be something else rather than fantasy, like having a war with the Allies, or going to school with people from three other worlds.

I have to admit that Overlord and SAO have similarities, but NOT because SAO is an isekai show. Saying SAO is isekai also means Accel World would be isekai, which obviously isn’t.

One more thing in case you don’t know, tensei can be either isekai or not isekai while isekai can be either tensei or not tensei.

yeah that's fair but I guess you can at least still call it an isekai with an OP main character, tho personally I think comparing Overlord to Slime would be way more fair

Bruh Ainz wasn’t trapped in the game he played. He got summoned because dragon lords in the New World tried to get rare items through time and space, which also sucked players and guilds because those were where most world class items located. New World and Yggdrasil are two different things.

I did read, but as I said, that’s incorrect. The mc can go from daily life to another very similar daily life, and still considered isekai, as long as it’s in another world. I named Kamen Rider because it’s a good example.

I didn’t say summoned isn’t transported. I know they’re the same. But I’m saying it’s different from being trapped in a game like SAO.
SAO is characters being trapped in something. That’s not summoning.
Ainz got summoned means he’s not in the game he played.

I've never seen anyone compare overlord with... with SAO.
The only real thing they share is a game based Isekai background.
From the out set Ains and the edgelord Kirito are completely different, personality, appearance and power to name a few.
The supporting characters are infinitely more diverse and interesting in Overlord.
Overlords story is considerably deeper and more interesting, even Log Horizon, which is the anime more similar to SAO in story is leagues better.

Uh... so for you, there is only 2 types of Animes : Isekai and Not Isekai ? So you think Sword Art Online is closer to Naruto because they are not Isekais, than to Overload and its Game element and characters ? I sure hope you stays away from the recommendation of the site...

The Isekai/Not Isekai element is just a very tiny and unimportant one of the many plot devices of these 2 stories. They are not what you should base your comparison/recommendation on. That's like saying Mirai Nikki and Naruto are the same because there is a pink haired character in it, that's straight up stupid.

So ? That's only one of the plot device. No one care if it's Isekai or not, what they search is a story with the same predominent setting (Video Game).

Oh, and Isekai is not a Genre per se, it's only a sub-genre of Fantasy, just like Dark Fantasy.
MAL didn't even had the tag before, and added it only because users really wanted it. You can see that Overload didn't had the tag before either : https://web.archive.org/web/20160326191555/https://myanimelist.net/anime/29803/Overlord

not one video has sao in any category for an isekai

So ? That's only one of the plot device. No one care if it's Isekai or not, what they search is a story with the same predominent setting (Video Game).

Oh, and Isekai is not a Genre per se, it's only a sub-genre of Fantasy, just like Dark Fantasy.
MAL didn't even had the tag before, and added it only because users really wanted it. You can see that Overload didn't had the tag before either : https://web.archive.org/web/20160326191555/https://myanimelist.net/anime/29803/Overlord

Looking for recommendation from YouTuber is already a bad idea per se... but aight, here it is, literally the 2nd video i looked up has it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdGwNXqi7Ec
