Mentioned again, essentially wasting the viewer's time and emotional investment. Much of the show (especially the second season) actually kicks Ains's story to the side to spends several episodes on side characters, building them up as their own protagonists, only to have Ains kill them off and never be Now here's where the show falters for me: 1. The characters are well acted, the story lines interesting and complex (usually in a two-faced political sense), and most characters likeable. While the whole "being trapped in a video game" thing is tired, this book adaptation does well in execution. I'll start by saying it's a good watch overall. As brief as it is, the show is still a fantastic saga that deserves a lot of love and makes for a great watch. Thankfully, the story is carried on in the manga that runs in parallel to the show, so if you want more you should check out that comic. This is an incredible story that deserves more than 13 episodes, and its being cut off so early makes the whole fantasy tragically disappointing. The show, however, is far too brief to tell its story adequately, and so is confined to introducing its characters and the world and only a brief space to show them off, and then ends on a cliffhanger. The animation and music is also above average and complements the story well. ![]() Beyond the Overlord himself, the rest of the cast are not as developed, but they get enough time and character to stand out Yumi Hara in particular makes a lasting impression as a passionate demon who gets emotionally carried away frequently. It's a fascinating character and Hino does him great credit with his voice. Ainz serves as the anti-heroic character who strives to conquer the world for his own desire, and Momonga is the simple player who only wishes to locate other gamesters like himself in the new world. Satoshi Hino gives a terrific dual performance as the mage demon master Ainz Ooal Gown and as the human player Momonga providing a monologue and narrative. The whole show is carried on the shoulders of the title character, the Overlord. But when your VR persona is that of the most powerful demon sorcerer ever, that's when things get interesting. When you are trapped in a virtual reality game, the natural thing to do is to find a way out. Watching Lord Ains defeat even the most powerful enemies thrown at him with ease was pretty cool, and they didn't shy away from the violence either. At first I wasn't into this show, but after a few episodes I was hooked. He then decides to conceal his true form (a skeleton-type dude) and go on the lookout for his previous friends (who were all Supreme Beings) by becoming a low-level adventurer who wants to spread his name (now changed to Ains Ool Gown?) by defeating as many powerful enemies as possible. ![]() Of course, being god-like, he doesn't really need them, since he's nearly invincible anyway. ![]() Since his character was a Supreme Being (practically a God), things aren't so bad for him, as he has a handful of powerful guardians to protect him. Instead of logging out, he decides to stay and then realises he's trapped in this online fantasy world. Momonga is playing Yggdrasil (an online RPG I assume) and the game is shut down. Although I have seen plenty of shows where someone gets trapped inside a game, TV show or movie, so it was still enjoyable. I don't have much experience with role playing games, so a lot of the references to moves, energy, strength, skill, etc.
