Overlord (light novel)
| Series lost its purpose after Season 1. There was stakes like World Items controlling Shalltear but Overlord throwed away this stake and forced us to watch some generic lizards, dwarfs or other generic race backgrounds. Ignoring important topics like Slane Theocracy. I don't think this is good worldbuilding or something, i don't understand what author are building up to because series will be over in 2 Volumes and everything will go the waste pretty much. Story gets less interesting and boring each season and awful CGI is not helpful either. |

| when its in the humans pov i find it kinda boring tbh so i actually like it when they focus on what ainz is doing |
 |
| this IS good world building, its just slower than you'd like it to be, you say important topics like the Downe theocracy are ignored, but it's made very clear they'll be brought up again later, be patient, this is clearly going somewhere. |

_Kuragari_Azami_ said: Mate, if you dislike the Anime so much, Just don't watch it. Set it as dropped and give rating as you see fit. But from this, all I can say is that your opinion is just as valuable as your skills in English. It isn't. Did you saw my watching list? Overlord is the last series i should drop this season. |

| Im the first to ask for stakes but here the stakes are simply different. The question is "can Ainz rule peacefully" or will he have to destroy everyone, the easy way? What kind of futile resistance will the humans mount? Stuff like that. There are still strong beeings and items left which can harm them, but if you want Nazarick to completely lose then you can stop watching now. Author confirmed a happy end. |

| First off, the Slane Theocracy did appear in this season and there's no proof they won't appear again. They don't have to appear whenever YOU want them to. Second off, there are more than 2 volumes left to adapt so no clue what you're talking about. DarkHomieC said: Seeing how this person is a massive Re:Zero fanboy and how they rate animes. I don’t have to say anything else Are you arguing in his favour? |

Why would that be relevant to the criticism at hand? |

DarkHomieC said: Meaning that they would already be biased to Re:Zero, so anything lower than that in the same genre would already have bias against it You mean the Fantasy genre? That's probably not the case since they gave FMA:B a 8. That said, the criticism they gave does not involve Re: Zero so I highly doubt it but its still possible given that signature. In any case, my question was how bringing Re: Zero in the equation answers their criticism. |
|
| Nah this is actually good world building. Its the only isekai I've come across where the world they get transported to actually feels alive with its own history and people not just a generic fantasy world that has nothing interesting going on until mr.mc arrived (like re zero obviously) ! Your claim about overlord purpose is completely false. Overlord was never about stakes and if it was I would've dropped it at the first season |

Anyway topic is about Overlord and Overlord is not rival of Re:Zero or anything. I rated Overlord 6/10, i think its okay series but i never thinked even once comparing with masterpieces like Re:Zero because difference is that huge. You can compare Overlord with other 6/10's in my list. |

| That's Overlord's main appeal though, the politics and the world building from various kinds of creatures there be it undead, human, or demi-human like those lizards. it wouldn't be fun seeing Ainz and his overpowered undead armies just steamrolling everything they see easily. I'd rather see lizards in their habitats trying to defend against undead armies than watching that ReZero's borefest Sanctuary arc with its unending talk no jutsu sessions. |

| I mean, Demiurge clearly says in chap 5 of this season he's got a plan for Slane Theocracy, but he wants Ainz to listen to it. It's not Overlord forgetting about topics but putting them aside to let growth other ones (and i'm pretty sure in season 3 and probably 2 they've been mentioned). Aaand i don't think the main stake of Overlord is world items. The main stakes of Overlord clearly are Ainz dealing politically with this new world and trying to find a human player. Some people can be attracted by Ainz's power or action scenes but Overlord clearly doesn't invest too much in those things cuz we all know Ainz just can beat even Chuck Norris at this point. |
 The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing. If u hate monogatari, u are just dumb |
Comander-07 said: Author confirmed a happy end. He should define "happy" though. Happy just like in Demiurge's "happy farm"? Or Ainz successful in allying with/conquering everyone else and creating his utopia? There's quite a bit of difference between the two. @ OP Have you ever heard about "worldbuilding"? Or "build up"? I know the instant gratification generation would love to see action constantly, but you're not getting that here.I wouldn't recommend you reading the overlord ln either, I just know you'd be bored within a couple of pages. |
