(L+CR) Overlord Season 2

[Blueknight78]

I do hope they explain in next episode why they are attacking and try to destroy the lizardman, cuz so far they really don't did any trouble to them, to make momo-sama want to go after them, they indeed look like a very pacific race overal, don't make sense he is attacking them unless he want to turn them into his army or something like that cuz while his npcs "are evil" the mc himself still a "good guy" and so far don't showed any real intention to be really the "demon king" here.

Another note based on OP looks like they gonna repeat again the first season formule of "make one of the servant turn against him", i really don't like of it because it's make looks like they are just "repeating" the "winner formule" and it gonna keep happening again and again become boring very fast.

Nice third episode, lots of focus on the Lizardmen of course, a lot of character detail work too rather than cookie-cutter graphic designs. The plant monster sorry Crusch is a cutie and ready to fight in the front lines alongside the other leaders. The story has made them real people who are not actually human which is a neat trick (those tell-tale tails of theirs for example...)

I was mostly referring to the low level inhabitants of Nazarick, like the Elder Lich in this episode
well, if given a choice to make a dungeon in an MMO, I don't think I would make my NPC "nice people" either

at the very least, we know that if Ains had truly intend to wipe out the lizardmen, it would have been over in an instant

Didn't they say in the last episode of the first season than they needed "material" for expanding their undead army?

And that they wanted to see if Lizardman corpses made higher level undead.

Fun fact: the elder lich was probably made from the corpse of the adventurer who went with Ainz to scout Shalltear.

Oh god, that one dude that was giving Momon so much shit back in the town about his rank, right? lmao

Man... I'm seeing so much hate for this arc everywhere... people really hate the lizardmen when I loved this arc in the LN and I'm loving seeing it.

PS: To those saying that Ainz has no reason to attack the lizardmen. First, he clearly said before that he wants lizardmen undead slaves as they would be stronger than normal human undead. Secondly, what part of evil overlord don't you get? He cares about Nazarick and nothing else.

that is another problem of his "undead plot", because it's very convenient he not being able to "care for the peoples from this world, but somehow he can care for the peoples from nazarick, that mechanic is really bad added, if he indeed was supposed to be totally "emotionless then he was supposed to don't care even fo the denizes of nazarick and they being expandables as any of the peoples of that world, this i aways feel like was really crap explainned specially which that "being emotionless" is only true for "brainless undeads in any rpg, undeads with a sort of "soul even if twisted can have "emotions(not necessary good ones).

inf him is really that evil, why he is "helping peoples, or acting like a hero, could be pratical just become a monster and take over the world since he does have a strong army and powers.

I didn't read the LN so there's stuff than I don't know but so far it look to me more like some reduction of his capacity for empathy or his capacity for building new emotional bond, which would leave him still being bound by his pre-shift emotion for the other residents of Nazarick and his old fellow of his guild.

As I recall from the first season finale, they wanted to build an undead army and wanted to see how powerful the Lizardmen would become if they were undead.

Considering the 1st season, the arcs went 4 episodes, 5 episodes, and then 4 episodes, the next episode might be the final episode of this arc. There are going to be 13 episodes again this season, so they might follow the same formula.

As far as this arc is concerned, it is enjoyable, but only relevant if Zaryusu plays a significant role going forward. I'd be disappointed if it ends up with Zaryusu not playing a role in the future because right now, he is the hero and focus of this arc.

If he is cast aside after this arc, I'd be really disappointed, since they could have focused on the main cast and left the side character to less screen time and smaller side stories, since for now, all this feels like filler. That will obviously change if he has a role in the future.

I also don't read the LN but what i understood about it is that Ainz's game/lore allignment is of evil nature. His guild was only for non human races and being in a guild means all the NPCs/guildmates and Ainz itself inherited a sense of comradeship between them, from the game to the new world. They played the villains in Yggdrasil and their enemies were everyone else. Also, every other emotion is surpressed by that green aura thing meaning that not only Ainz's body changed but also the way his brains works due to this surpression of human feelings. All of this contributed to the creation of the Overlord you see today. Being evil means you don't care about sentient innocent lizards and killing them just to test your NPCs or trying to achieve higher level zombies with the Lizard bodies is something expected, however it's still totally possible and understandable for Ainz to still care about Nazarick due to what i said above.

Also, Ainz indeed wants to take over the world but he is first gathering information otherwise he could end up with another Shalltear situation. We now know there are world items that can change the balance of power regardless of how strong Nazarick is and there might be some individuals powerfull enough to pose a threat against Ainz (like that crazy chick in the beggining of the first episode, another player from Yggdrasil or the Dragon dude). A proper leader should not rush things and plan carefully instead.

I could tell you but it would be a spoiler. It should be revealed in the next arc of the anime. It's not nice.

Spoiler for Episode 3 Comments/Feedback:

That's a good weapon he has, he won just by dealing cold damage effect.

I like that chief though, fights over lets drink and get down to business.

Great battle so far, I am really enjoying.

Their 4 headed pet really took one for the team there, it suffered a lot of damage from those fireballs.

They all took a lot of damage just to take down that Lich, either way it was a victory for the lizard men this time, but I think Cocytus could probably take them all down on his own.

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes to see more exciting action.
