11/19/2023 0 Comments Overlord manga 24We know how powerful Ainz is, so I’m ok with him getting less screen time. It’s always fun to watch the futile struggles of Ainz’s opposition, but I wished they focused on the opposition more to be honest. Didn’t really feel for anyone, since the characters weren’t exactly developed very well. The deaths that Ainz caused felt too quick and easy, and lacking in intrigue. There were some exciting moments, but a lot of it was boring, which was unfortunate.Ī key element in Overlord is how they execute Ainz’s supremacy over every other group in the world, and this time around, it felt really flat. Once again, I found the side characters and opposition of Nazarick more interesting, from Jircniv, Zanac, and many more, it’s always fun to see the futile schemes of Ainz’s opposition. It was great to see Pandora’s Actor getting a chance to shine this season though. At some points, she felt like a newcomer learning the ropes of how the Nazarick group functioned, which was kind of weird. One key difference which felt a bit shocking to me was how “childish” Shalltear felt in this season. Ainz is still the same as over, though he seemed more cold this season, Albedo is still her same fun self, Aura and Mare are still powerful, overall just much of the same. The characters from Nazarick never really intrigued me a whole lot, and with the focus being on them a bit more this season, it felt much more boring to me. The OP and ED were pretty solid once again, and worth listening to over and over. The one thing that Overlord has kept consistent throughout the years was its music. This show still looks a tad mediocre, but the CGI was slightly less prevalent, although clearly present. Sure, there are some plot twists, and some rather satisfying and shocking moments, but I didn’t take much away from the plot this season compared to the other three seasons. The jump from arc to arc felt very self-contained and not connected enough, which really lowered the significance of Ainz’s opposition throughout the series. There were a lot of political strifes and discussions sprinkled throughout as well, but it felt so insignificant. This season focused a lot on Ainz taking over kingdoms and empires, for his goal of destroying the Re-Estize kingdom. From the Lizardmen arc in Season 2, to the Two Leaders arc with Enri and Nphirea in Season 3, say what you will about the arcs, but personally, they just felt way more impactful than whatever what shown in this season. In the previous seasons, we saw a whole lot more emphasis on side characters and their developments, which was great. The story isn’t by any means messy, it’s just that I struggled to care about the plot this season. Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20 To me, I think that the change in formula made the series a bit boring, but there were also quite a few other issues that presented themselves in this season. This time around, the characters are actually somewhat catching on that, yes, Ainz is nearly unbeatable, so maybe we should work with him instead. This series follows a similar formula throughout its run, and that formula is “People underestimate Ainz, and then get slaughtered”. With Ainz's motivations beyond his comprehension, Jircniv can do nothing but watch as humanity's future changes before his very eyes.įans and haters of Overlord all know that Ainz is probably one of the most overpowered isekai protagonists out there. With their secret gathering now out in the open, the emperor and his guests learn that Ainz has challenged the Warrior King, the empire's greatest fighter, to a duel. However, when Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix arranges a meeting with the Theocracy's messengers at a colosseum, he is confronted by none other than Ainz himself. Meanwhile, the cardinals of the Slane Theocracy discuss how to retaliate against Ainz after his attack crippled the Re-Estize Kingdom's army, plotting for the Baharuth Empire to take over the Sorcerer Kingdom. To make amends, Ainz sends Albedo to the city as a diplomatic envoy. Once a prosperous city known for its trade, it now faces a crisis due to its caution-or even fear-of its king, Ainz Ooal Gown. E-Rantel, the capital city of the newly established Sorcerer Kingdom, suffers from a dire shortage of goods.
