Its like complaining that one punch man one punches stuff like no shit sherlock an anime called overlord but why the overlord keeps winning?! People these days must have fallen on their heads a lot in their childhood to come up with all these retarded takes Sorry, I didn't realize "Overlord" means "wins effortlessly". My fault. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| I enjoy it a lot, I like it so much that I started to read the LN. Best isekai ever. Thank you. |
At least one user posted exactly that here. |

| Cause its good ? World building is top notch, same with its cast. Seeing an isekai from an antagonist standpoint is super refreshing and great as well. I mean its not a master piece by miles but still a solid asf anime with a lot of episodes to enjoy. And honestly if you compare it to a lot of isekai its by far miles better than alot majority of them. Your just not an isekai enjoyer so prolly that's why you don't like this show. But after watching every seasonal isekai for years i can with certainty say overlord has alot more quality than 95% of titles in this sub genre. |
| I dunno man. It was always going to be a power fantasy protag wank festival of a series. |

| Hahaha I love this idiot. The creator of this thread posted their opinion in the episode discussion thread. Nobody took the bait so they made this one. Then, they got butthurt so they made a political thread? They are hostile with every response and call anyone that disagrees with them a nazi. Must be a sad existence, to be so angry about others enjoying a cartoon. Overlord is enjoyed by many and you can’t change that with your salty attitude. |
| The fun in overlord for me comes from: Watching world's reaction to nazaric Characters Worldbuilding This whole crash of op guild and a diverse world is fascinating... and yeah power fantasy is fun. |
| lmao I love the shitposting. inb4 this thread gets locked |

| I am enjoying this |

| I think it's certainly true that the novels are better, the show is quite lack-luster in terms of world-building. Honestly people enjoy this show as it's a fresh take on isekai and fantasy as we are put in the shoes of a powerful un-dead dictator, which is an interesting concept and is executed fairly well. I would highly recommend the novels. The anime cuts a lot of internal dialogue for Ainz which makes him out to be more of a formidable force but also takes away the fun bit which is him just fumbling around, hoping not to make mistakes. To someone who only watches Shounen and battle anime this might seem boring, but the draw here is more the unique characters, world and concept as opposed to break-neck action and fighting. TwoBears said: I'm hijacking this post for a moment because we have a group of people who clearly like the show and I have a follow-up question: Here's my hypothesis: I'm guessing those things either come up again later, or are more fleshed out in the light novel and less fleshed out in the anime. Is that true? I believe I asked my question respectfully, so I'm hoping you hesitate to call me a fucking moron :) The light novels are more detailed and each arc feels better paced, but the root problem still remains. The light novels typically have a different story per volume (of which there are currently 16, rumoured to end at vol 18), but this does lead to an 'episodic' feel as the lack of overarching struggle or plot makes it seem aimless, more like a slice of life for our main character Ainz. I think that is the root problem - that Ainz is so overpowered and efficient that the lack of real challenge means an absence of anything to drive the plot along. The light novels deal with this by giving some beautifully artistic illustrations and detailed descriptions and rich world-building, a lot of it gets lost in translation when it comes to the comparably less good-looking anime style and diluted story as a lot of exposition, dialogue and internal monologue of Ainz are skipped. This turns Overlord into something less like Ainz's autobiography / adventure slice of life, and more like an action fantasy anime with less substance. I can certainly see why it's viewed as boring by many. I mean this was the author's vision: The anime changes the tone entirely into a much more comedic and less intimidating one. |

| L, cope and seeth bozo |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| It's not as fricking boring as Log Horizon S3 was, but it's definitely a downgrade from S3 of Overlord. The right balance is not there for me. |
| Sir, according to your profile, you are about 37 years old, what are you doing making threads like this at that age? What happened to just letting people have fun and enjoy what they want to enjoy? |

MyllerPhiem said: "Haha, human pwned again!" :/ Last week the prince was offed, this week Glaus. Both were the only human characters that had any chance of opposing Ainz. How is this exciting for anyone? Are there really people braindead enough to enjoy this 100% one-sided domination? Are these the people that play games with god-cheat on? Ever since season 3, this anime has me hoping that AT LONG LAST, humans manage to strike back. But it's always Ainz winning effortlessly. Pure unfun. I am with you OP, that is why I also hate Solo Leveling, what a stupid manhwa from stupid author. |

| I agree, this has been a very bad season in regards to adapting the sauce. I am not sure if its the fact i read the novels before s4 and my view is tainted but i enjoyed the first three seasons. This one was just so rushed and butchered i cant see me giving it no more then a 6. I am truely disappointed, on the bright side at least it wasnt such the mess that shield hero was last season. |
