BUT AFTER THE FINAL episode I changed for a 2 ...
I dunno what happened to this anime, it completely changed in the very bad way... humour is gone, characters profils are ultra basic, the balance blabla /action became blabla only. it's now a very very bad anime. You have news characters coming from nowhere without any explain and next episode forgot them and move to any other arc in the season. flet like 4 teams worked at the same time on 3 episodes without any link and they mixed it in a thing they named overlord4. and one bonus ep at the end to end the season and maybe the all overlord anime.
It's more a spin off or a Reboot of Overlord and I can"t consider this is overlord4 has a sequel of Overlord 1, 2 , 3 ...
it's a new serie who use the design of Overlord cast ( in fact no , even this changed for Ainz...)
They forget Overlord is a human player trapped in his MMORPG. It's now a real Maou sama ( seem like)
it also deleted most of the casts who had a story development during season 1 to 3 ... it spent 80% of the time following the opposite side 4th level support cast, with endless blabla ( and you know how it will end when you have such an overpowered MC and his team)
it remind me the feeling I had hen I watched OnePunch S2 ... you barely see the mains characters ( 30 sec at beginning episode and that's it) .
The Art changed, it became The ultra generic shiny graphic we see in every jap-anim this year. It lost his specific pattern.
Almost every episodes are full with useless blabla of characters you don't give a F ... I'm sure the all season4 could fit in 3 episodes of old style. Way to much episodes without a single action moment, following ONLY different groups of 4th level of supports characters ... in most anime those characters don't even have face and name because they are so not important.
And This is what other Overlord viewers like because it got a 8.3 MAL notation !!!! I know I've different taste but common !!! 8.3 for this ???? it kept his 8,3 since ep 1 who is very bad start after the wonderfull final of season 3... no more comment on this ...
The story lost itself completely goes every directions to end nowhere so even for a fantasy anime this is very bad, plus no action agin 8.3 seem impossible !!!!
no spoil, but the ep13 is a concentrate and confirmation of the massive fail of this overlord4 as a sequel.
Only 2 passables ep and all the rest was boring as hell and as a big fan of overlord, it was really painful to see my fav serie getting raped this way ... I kept hope until episode 4 ... and I'm glad I lost all hope this quick because after ep4 It's getting worst and reach the level of unwatchable.
it's not a game anime or even a isekai type anymore, it s a fantasy anime but a really bad one.
I didn't want to see the last ep13 but as a fan I had to. I expected nothing good from it and even without any expectation I was very disappointed. ( how can you like this final ??? humm ok maybe those who gave 9 and 10 to the 12st ep can ... )
Exemple of the change : fight with a super-overpowered character vs regular: it lost the fun, use the same instant death attack 95%of the season ... fight are way way to fast and basic for a pinacle moment you were waiting after 3 or more boring episodes.
ep 11 was insult to the original Overlord character and still waiting where those characters came from ? ( and see this mix of style in many anime. I'm not a big fan of this mix of games univers but if it well made It's can be funny. this time it wasn't funny and the worst is : It was by far the best fight of the season4 and one of the passable episode, SIC...
Overlord4 don't respect what made the success of this anime.
Compare final of season 3 , the epic fight and the one of season 4 ... cry cry cry ( maybe they had no budget for it ... spend all the money of actors endless talk )
We are very far from season 1, 2 and 3 ( full of stories dev, lots of absurdes unbalanced fights but super funny, even the supports casts were nice to follow etc)
conclusion : I'll consider Overlord stopped at season3.
This time, I'll not be in hurry to see the overlord5 . But I'll watch it if it's free ... ( as a fan of the 3 seasons, prefer to see this show canceled , SIC )
