Ha...so his sole purpose as a Adventurer right now is to make money for his guild. Poor fellow.
For someone who gets calmed down he sure freaked out when Solution called him.
Also I do not fucking trust that Princess.

Nah, it's just that in life, no matter how lofty dreams you had in mind, you haven't got the dough then that's it. His real purpose for adventuring is to get a break from lording, and explore & research the new world.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin
What's wrong with the princess?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I also felt she has an aura even more twisted and dangerous than Solution, who's pretty wicked already...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I can't say that I liked that episode, but nonetheless it's actually cool how fleshed out side characters are in this series.
This show isn't just about Ainz. It's about everyone, enemy and allies alike.
She goes in the back room and cracks a cypher in minutes at most (or wrote it herself to begin with), has regularly liaisons with a mercenary group's leaders who are described as having monstrous strength (remember that Clementine was not anywhere near as powerful as these women are portrayed). This group has assassins in it.
Clementine could kill silver adventurers, but mostly went after bronze. The princess' guard is only capable of being a gold. The mercenaries are much higher.
She's scheming and acting behind the lines, just like Ainz and his guardians are, but people who have "good" intentions often resort to cruel means when they can't achieve them any other way.
She's having these mercs go after this super huge organization that spans countries across the continent.
And they respect her enough to do it.
Plus it just seemed too unnatural how she acted towards Climb. Like she just switches persona's way to fast. But yeah Ryll said it nicely.
She does seem to want to make the country a better place but she just...feels fake.
She has no direct political power whatsoever, not even a powerful husband she could affect. If she wants to change laws or regulations, her only choice is to get an ally for the task, like a prince or a influential noble if the king himself isn't immediately interested. All she can do is use guile. If she has been doing it for a while, she would ultimately start to show the kind of signs we saw here. Unless she was born that way. But then again, I guess all court nobles and other such elite will be shaped that way by the necessity of court intrigue. Unless the person is a single-minded war maniac or something.
Episode 8
-----------------------------------------------------------
is this a non Ainz/Momon season?
They are too slow... I want to see something happen now tbh.
I hope we get to see something really amazing by the end of this season.
That aside, I think Sebas should get his own series. He's awesome.
I have no complaints about this whatsoever. This was a jolly good episode. I don't need Ainz in every single episode. Why would I? If it was always just Ainz and that's it, all the Guardians and other characters would be left utterly superficial and nobody would care about them. As long as their arcs aren't bad, it's perfect for me. And this most certainly isn't a bad arc. It's one of the best. It's only getting better from now on.
I'm also happy Lakyus got her chuuni scene included. That was hilarious in the novel as well.
Problem with your assessment is that we've barely had Ainz at all this season.
My view is just different because I've read 12 volumes of the original novels. There's plenty of Ainz in total. However, the novels also have long stretches dedicated to characters that are never seen again. That's just how they are written, and this anime didn't particularly try to change it. It makes me take Overlord a bit more seriously than most isekai series, which do heavily concentrate on the MC, but typically are only about simple adventures and gathering a harem.
Just the same, your observation was within this season. But as I said above, I think Sebas is awesome, though I'd still feel Ainz has been quite neglected this season. Anyways, wanted to ask, if I've watched the anime up to this point, where would it be safe to pick up the novel series if I wanted to get into it? Thanks.
Right now the anime is going through volume 5. There might be a loose detail or two in the earlier volumes you'd be missing in the future, but I have a feeling nothing overly vital. Volumes 5 and 6 are basically this arc. The anime ought to end after finishing this.
I'd agree if this episode wasn't basically the very same as last episode and to some degree the episode before that, no real benefit in establishing side characters if there is no character development whatsoever.
We get it, Climb is dedicated but without talent, Sebastian is helping the weak like a noble knight (just like his creator). That much was clear from the last 2 episodes already.
Interesting facts:
1) Momon took credit for defeating Shaltear
2) Momon is now adamantite class, and only one of three known groups.
3) That Basilisk that ran away from Hammusuke is supposed to be deadly as fuck. LMAO.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
New ep is out.
Sebas is pretty simple in his brutality. And I am so looking forward to the next episode.
I was definitely getting a secret villain vibe from the princess. But I was expecting her to be some kind of spy or actually villain, but it looks like she might just be a yandere instead.
Fucking knew that Princess wasn't all what she seems. Crazy bitch.
And I already feel sorry for the poor party that goes to look for Sebas and breaking into that mansion when Ainz is there.....
