My Review About Overlord Season 2 (Winter 2018) (Sorry for my bad english :( )
It contains some spoiler, Read with your own risk ^_^ .
- Story 8/10 - :
Overlord Season 2, comes with 13 Episode, Animated by Studio Madhouse.
First Episode you can say it as Introduction about Overlord Season 2, Flashback about what is happening in Previous season, and preparation for the next Arc.
Overlord Season 2, contain a "World Building Arc", where the side characters spawn more than the Main Characters and explain what happening with this Side Characters and their Story (it's kinda like every human have own Story of their life). If you still don't Understand about it, I recomended you to play RPG-Game first before watching this show.
At the beginning (Episode 2) we will redirect to Lizardman Arc. Lizardman Arc is one of the "World Building Arc" which is the last goal of Ainz Ooal Gown(or you can say The writter) to make a Country where all of Demi-humans can live together with Happiness (Including Dwarf, Lizardman, Elf and others).
Back to the Story, this Lizardman Arc, show about how Lizardman live together, suffering about food, sacrifice others Lizardman using a War in order to reduce an overpopulated Lizardman. Everything you see in this 4 Episode mainly about Lizardman's Tribe. (Episode 2-5)
Zaryusu Shasa is the Main Protagonist for this Arc, it ll explained well how he re-united all of the Lizardman's Tribe after the last war, found his Lover Crush Lulu, preparing a war agains Nazarick, Killing Iguva (Ainz Undead), and later killed by Cocytus and got revived.
The Story is good, its explained well from Viewpoint of Lizardman, nothing rushed in this Arc, it was same as Light Novel Story, I really love episode 3 where Zaryusu vs Iguva , and episode 4 where Ainz move like a Supreme being in front of Lizardmans. its kinda unique and interesting for me.
Move to next story about Man In Kingdom 1 & 2 Arc(Episode 6-13), about this Arc im agree with some people that it rushed since they already wasting few episode focusing on Lizardman. but im not really worried about it, basically the main plot are still there and still explained carefully so the audience will not confused about it. this Arc will explore more about the characters on Re-Estize Kingdom (Climb,Renner,Blue Rose etc), and continuation of 'Sebas Story' (If you watch season 1 Sebas was sent by Ainz to Re-Estize Kingdom as a bait to find people who brainwashed Shalltear).
About this arch i really love Last 3 Episode, especially when Entoma vs Blue Rose and Ainz vs Jaldabaoth. its make me want to watch more of this anime. (and luckly they announced the Season 3).
For me the Story of Overlord season 2 is Very Good with this all of World Building.
- Art : 8/10 -
Animated by studio Madhouse, the Art is Great, the Colour, the Brightness the Graphic and the Blur Effect, Texture, and the some Side-effect mixed well, even in some scene the character face was changed a bit but it still acceptable since it doesnt change that much.
- Sound : 7,5/10 -
I Love the Opening and the ending Song, the sound effect, and the Bg Music also well-played
- Character : 8/10 -
The World Building Arch explained well how the character grown up and their specific characteristics. it explore well how Zaryusu come as a Brave Warrior, how he has a feeling with Crush Lulu, you can even see their Sex scene !!, Crush lulu that always support him until the end.
the 'Yandere' Princess Renner, Loyal Dog Climb, how the relation about Master-Servant was build among them. Sebas that have "Touch-me settings" inside him, Tsuareninya feeling througt Sebas, and also how Evileye fallen in love with Momon, Entoma's character was shown in this Season 2 as well, Sadistict Mare ,Brain Unglaus that face up his fear again Shalltear and a lot of it. it was Very Good and explained well in this Season.
- Enjoyment : 9/10 -
Great !, im already Enjoyed this show since first Season, what makes me enjoy this show?.
*This is a Dark show with a lot of Blood, Gore, where cut human's head is acceptable, its fit well for me. its also contains a Funny scenes, especially when Ainz-sama talking in his mind about what he need to do, or when the emotion taken away because he is Undead. its fun and refreshing.
*The Master-Servant relationship between Ainz and his Guardians is also interesting, the Loyalty of the Guardian is so awesome, you can only find this relationship only when you watching Overlord (The Master-Servant relationship without any betrayal from both side). where they can accept each other, Hating anyone outside but Loves everyone inside 'Great Tomb of Nazarick', Believe that you can't betraying someone who gives you a life, the Truth about Loyalty, sometime it feels Heartwarming (If you watch last episode of Overlord Season 1).
*There is less lovey-dovey scenes where the MC is surrounded with a lot of Girls who loving him, the only people loving Ainz is only Albedo !!!, yes Albedo !!, what about shalltear??? She is loving Ainz because of her fetish about Undead !!, so dont calculate her !!! :P , Evileye? ah She love Darkness "Momon" not our Supreme Lord Ainz-sama...(eventhough they are same xD)
*Non-idealistict show, its not the show where the MC trying to save everyone he met (especially girl), even its impossible, its also not the show where someone can gain Over Power when they are pressed..., this show teach you how to become more Realistic, what you can save and what you need to sacrifice in order to save someone, the difference between the Strong and the weak,Profit and loss, it also teach you even you are OP(Overpowered) you still need a plan boyo!
Thats the point why i enjoy this show, its a Great show for me.
- Overall : 8,5/10 -
Overlord Season 2, a sequel of Overlord Season 1, was a good show, there is a lot point if you watching it carefully,If you think Overlord is Anime with full Action Genre then you completely wrong. it also have political scene and Drama like Anime "Maou No Yuusha" but with more soft scenes that make people understand what's going on, this anime will not fit for someone who searching a lot of fight and battle scenes. and this series need a continuation to connect all of the side and main event, thats why i recommended you to watch it properly.
Basically Overlord are different with some anime like SAO and Log Horizon. Overlord, Ainz and his NPC was Transported from Game World (YGGDRASIL game) to Another World (Isekai) called New World(NW), he cannot using the Game feature anymore right after transported to New World, he cannot logged out because of this, while SAO and Log Horizon still remain in their Game World(Trapped in Game World) and still able to using the Features of the game itself. Thats why they are searching the way to logged out from the Game. Some people are misunderstanding about this matter.
My overall for this show is 8,5 and it is Great, worth and enjoyable to watch.
