Overlord IV picks up as anyone would expect after watching the first three installments. Ainz continues on his quest to further his ultimate goal. Is it the same as Albedo and the rest of the guardians think in the continuous back and forth word-play outbursts that put some of the guardians in awe of the great sorcerer king, the same ones that often leave him confused or flustered? You'll have to watch and find out...

Now that I've inserted my bit of fun, onto my opinion of the season. I know I have said in reviews of the previous seasons that the show has started to drag a bit for me. To my delight I can say they have switched gears a bit and left out a good deal of what made the show turtle on for me. This season didn't have so much of the overpowered and seemingly untouchable Ainz wave his wand and instantly demolish everything in sight.

This season was a bit more "social" for a lack of better term and I enjoyed it. The assault in this season was less physical which I really did appreciate. Seeing more of the passive politics angle was a bit refreshing after the last few seasons also. I kind of felt bad for the old king because of the situation some of the other nobles in his country put him in.

Towards the end we finally get to see what I am looking forward too. I hope it doesn't just come to a screeching halt for an extended period of time now that things are getting interesting in the way of Ainz potentially finding the first of what he has been searching for since his accidental nap took him over the edge.
