Aix Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 http://myanimelist.net/anime/29803/Overlord Madhouse is great. Anyway, Overlord is a power fantasy other world series with some originality and doesn't make me cringe too much. It's about a middle aged man who played a VRMMORPG as a lich (his guild was the ninth most powerful in the most popular game of the era) and then got transported to another world along with his night impenetrable evil base, his treasures, his overpowered servants, and his overpowered self. From then on, he decides to cautiously proceed into the world and gather influence in case anyone stronger than him appears. Nice thing is that MC is not that much of a Gary Stu. He's treated as a god by his followers, but he knows he's not worthy of being one (he lacks the skills, intellect, and wisdom). Thus, he tries his best in order to be a wise and capable ruler. Madhouse did pretty well with first impressions in the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It looks like it has the possibility of being a very good commentary on the recent run of SAOshit anime. Unfortunately, I've gotten no impression from the first episode that it has any intention of doing anything remotely like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 After seeing the first episode I wonder if this actually is Madhouse? The animation quality seemed a bit lower than what I'm used to from a Madhouse show to be honest... Anyway, this is another light novel series I haven't gotten to, and I really like the way it opened so far. So can we get a Shieldbro or Mushoku adaptation yet? ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchermitcher Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I can understand if you don't like Shieldbro but Mushoku is top tier yo. sheet started this recent fad of reincarnation fantasy stories as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Watched the pilot, really liked it. This definitely looks like it has great potential. Looking forward to the next episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kind of LNs are my guilty pleasure, so I'd enjoy it except I really can't stand the MC or the polygamy (I'm fine with polygamy, except in here where it feels degrading).

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 There's just something really great in the image of a villainy skeleton mage looking goofy grabbing a boob.Of course I'll pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Episode 2 didn't have much action, but it was pretty nice. I quite like Demiurge, and lol Cocytus when he starts imagining Momonga's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Albedo is going to turn yandere. I don't know when, but it's a foregone conclusion at this point that she's going to go yandere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Saw episode 3, gotta say I really enjoy the show so far. Each episode feels pretty short though, not enough time and all. Reading this really would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Show's still okay so far, I'm hoping we can see some crazy action. If there isn't any halfway through though, I'll probably have to temper expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarlandChaos Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm not sure if I'm the only one that noticed this, but the protagonist kindaaaaa looks a bit like Dark Ruler Ha Des. Anyone else see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDragon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Episode 4 seen: LOVED the Albedo's reactions. The main character is SO Overpowered. LOVE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Picked it up. It's actually pretty cool. I'd put this as a one-person Log Horizon, as the main character decides to make himself comfortable in his new world rather than try to escape from it. OP and ED are amazing songs too. Such that I've never skipped either for each episode I watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Overlord's okay at this point, the main issue for me is I can't really get into any of the supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 New episode was pretty nice in terms of furthering Ainz's theme of loss of his old comrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I actually liked the new episode quite a bit. I feel bad for Ainz, considering he might be stuck there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well, it's at least a good sign to see her yandere tendencies are coming along nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
