What's wrong with the princess?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
All I can think about is: Really, 13 episodes?
Season 2 wasted half of thatvto establish the reptile warriors. The rest up now for some random brothel being taken down by side characters. What about Ainz? What about plot?
Season 1 was much, much better.
Season 1 wasn't any better, when you get down to it. It went absolutely nowhere too.
I like the world-building we've been seeing in Season 2. But you're right, it is too short. There's no payoff from what we've been learning about the rest of the world, how "normal" people fit into the MMO archetypes that they just casually use in conversation.
Overlord is clearly a slow burn, well developed, and the problem is they simply aren't giving enough season towards the material for it to really shine. It would be like watching Full Metal Alchemist season 2 barely getting through the homunculus arc, and stopping there, with the first season covering up to the mine arc. It's scratching the surface, without getting to the real meat of the franchise.
As for Princess Renner, the signs were there, not even looking at the OP or ED. No real surprise there. She's a nutcase yandere.
It is kind of cute that everyone recognizes her crush as an inferior, with his own merits, but incapable of being great. Considering she's some genius psychopath it is a very weird pairing. I want to know why she's so interested in him.
Will this sell enough to fund a third season?
Peace.
She's depicted as a genius who tries to acquire national influence and power despite being a theoretically powerless princess. I'd say her relationship with Climb is a sort of isolated, miniature test case of her machiavellian view of life. She saved Climb from death and absolute powerty and is maintaining a very carefully designed distance to him, creating an everlasting and bottomless loyalty. Climb isn't especially capable, which has been repeated to death, but that's an essential part of the equation, since if he was more talented, he wouldn't need the princess as much. I'm not even sure if she's a yandere at all. If she is, it's probably only a second nature of hers. Climb is a dear tool to her.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
MFauli, what you are seeing here is the plot of the story.
Well she's a yandere in that her love/attachment to Climb drives her to kill for what we perceive as quite trivial reasons. I don't try to kill people because they dissed my car, or even my mother.

Yeah, I supposed whether she's an actually yandere remains to be seen, but she is displaying every single trope of being a yandere.
Does this show have 13 epsiodes or just 12?
I kinda expect a huge fight with all factions included (nobles, ains/sebas etc, drug cartel), but they kinda need some kind of conclusion after that - so basically half a episode is already occupied with the "ending".
And 1 episode worth of fighting seems to be too little, considering how many factions are currently engaged in this.
AniDB lists it as 13 episodes. Originally I thought this would cover a lot more, but either I don't exactly remember anymore how the arcs are divided or they will sort of end this particular one at a place where it will be more or less conclusive. I don't really see the three remaining episodes covering as much as I expected when the season launched. But then again, the lizard arc didn't really skip overly much, so this pace is consistent.
Episode 13
- -- -- - - - -
The crooks aren't too smart, purposefully pissing off Nazarick.
As much as Ainz thinks otherwise, he's actually a decently capable leader for that den of monsters.
I wonder if Ainz is aware of Sebas other exploits, way more public than just saving a random human sex slave.
Not sure he is. I mean he got his information from Solution.
But man I was hoping for the Six Arms to raid the mansion while Ainz was there.
Not much thrill to be found there. In fact they would have never even seen Ainz because the guardians would have disposed of them well before.
Episode 11:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ahh... that's how it should've been a few episodes earlier, this is fun.
I love it.
It's a good thing the maids aren't so powerful they would be invincible if they happen to meet a really bad compatibility opponent among the elites of the new world. Ainz and the guardians obviously are like gods among men in that world (save for the occasional uber rare artifact), so there's no such thrill in their scenes, but they offer other kind of service and especially comedy.
I do wish the anime had skipped the lizard arc, leaving it as a mere mention in the background, or something, and spent this whole season on this arc. It feels like so many details are skipped.
I didn't actually believe Evil Eye when she thought Entoma was beneath her.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Same, I thought she was just overestimating her but she could actually handle her.
I agree, I would have preferred to see stuff like this instead of the Lizard Arc. It's good that the maids aren't as OP as Nabe seems to be with her magic. But I guess Evileye is just that strong because of a mixed heritage. Like she is actually part demon or something. Also liked how she mentioned something about a Demon God so those 'gods' could also be a thing. We also found out how they dye clothing/armor in this setting. Was interesting to see.
But man....our butler sure doesn't waste time taking people out. Was not expecting that at all.
Also, don't fuck with Mare.

I don't believe Nabe is inherently any stronger than the other maids. If there's a perfect antagonist for her, she would probably fall like Entoma here. Entoma was just super unlucky she encountered an opponent with a specific, and powerful, anti-insect spell.
The maids are pretty weak overall, I think that came up in the first season. The six of them and Sebas are supposed to work in concert with each other to defend a portion of Nazarick. That's why he took Nabe out with him to play adventurer. The maids are believable in the context of the recon they did earlier (where nearly everyone else is much weaker).
It's the individual floor guardians that are true beasts, meant to handle raiding parties with the assistance of the players that are logged in at that moment.
They've been discovering over this season that while the lizards and Brain and most adventurers might be considered weak as well, there are individuals out there that begin to approach the level of player-created NPCs. Or people like the Princess who possess a level of intellect that compares to super-powered organizations like Nazarick.
We don't really know how they figured out the location of the bases...but we do know how the princess did it. If it took her about a half-hour to crack one of the Eight Fingers memos, but it seems to have taken Nazarick a few days to find them all...well...the people of this world aren't quite as weak as initially assumed.
Ainz has been trying to break his floor guardians arrogance about the rest of the world, and it's finally starting to stick.
They aren't weak. They are as good as the elites of that world, minus any world class artifacts (the kind that took down Shalltear). In other words they are like experienced Adamantite class adventurers with good equipment and also spells not available to most in that world. They are definitely not weak unless you compare them to the Nazarick big bosses.
I believe Sebas is as strong as the guardians.
Question, does Ainz' guardians/servants know of his identity as an adventurer besides a select few (like Nabe)?
Sebas is King though.
