I would have thought that after all that power in season on, the stakes would be raised slightly, but everything seemed so safe. The concluding ‘big’ fight of the season ended up just being adventurer Momon (Ainz’s alter ego) battling with Ainz himself. But alas, there was no major villain to be fought and no good guy to triumph. It felt like such a slog to get through this season, only watching each episode to hopefully see some good ol’ Ainz action. Each of these arcs, as mentioned previously, focused on different groups of minor characters and attempted to develop their backstory and create new motivations for them against the potential impending threat that Ainz and Nazarick represent to the world. The latter and most interesting of the three happens right at the end of the season. There are three main stories to be told in season two: the lizard men arch, Sebis’ ‘quest’ and Demiurge’s plan. Here’s hoping the writers touch on these points next season! ( SPOILERS : They don’t…) This fire of intrigue, though, was slowly extinguished over the course of 13 episodes and these details aren’t expanded upon for the rest of the season. The season opens with some very interesting plot points and details about the world Ainz resides in. Season one put all of its attention on Ainz, whereas season two was more concerned with other minor characters and developing the political plot. After finishing the first season, I was eager to see Ainz in action again but was extremely disappointed. Saitama from One Punch Man, Mob from Mob Psycho 100 and even Kirito (to some degree) from Sword Art Online, all display this attribute, making the anime enjoyable.Īinz Ooal Gown, the main character from Overlord, fits this bill to a T. Now I’m not talking about characters that take a good 200 episodes to get overpowered (I’m looking at you Goku), I’m talking about characters who are at the top of what they do right from the get go in episode one.
RANIME OVERLORD II 2 FULL
More than half of the characters are full of themselves, Ainz is still a bad actor and I see no real reason why he continues to act the way he does (other than fearing the NPC's abandoning him, maybe there is some force that is forcing him without his knowledge).One of my favourite anime tropes from the last five years is overpowered characters. Story is all over the place and generally a mess, yet I still find myself liking most parts, especially when Ainz isn't acting like a massive a-hole.Īnimation is good, but not as good as the 1st season. One question must be asked: Where did the money go? After the success of the first season and manga/LN, one might think that Season 2 would get an even bigger budget than Season 1, but if so why did the overall quality drop? How dare they give best girl Nabe so little screen time!? Makes me sad :( Supposed real people acting chuuni as hell and while this is mostly cringy, it occasionally makes one smile. This feels like its just pulling bits of it at random, and doesn't feel like a story anymore.Īlso, dear Japan, please stop making anime out of things written by 12 year olds.Īinz/Momon continues his "world conquest?", except this season he rarely makes an appearance and the whole season feels like world building and as cute as lizard people in love are and as interesting as Sebas gaining an ego is, I just wished that some parts would have been given less screen time and other more. Like knitting socks for your computer desk. Overall, I'd say don't watch this if you have anything better to do. Overall, it left me liking an old character more, and just despising everyone else. New characters turn up and get no development. Nothing special to see here.Ī couple characters get some good development. I didn't notice in the first season because the story gripped me enough.
Looks like it is setting up to be one of those things with 100+ episodes, and ain't nobody got time for dat shit.Īlso, the animation is really clumsy in this one. Also, all the story things happening last season? Yeah, nothing is answered at all. So instead of getting a story that is gripping and entertaining, you have episodes following stories that just don't seem important because they aren't tied to the characters we care about, or they just don't finish. An anime is shorter than a light novel, and they try to include too much. It has some interesting things, but it suffers from light novel syndrome. They try to do too much and as such none of it is done well.
