Well now this got more interesting.

There's finally action show in their world especially in the second half of the episode. And it isn't shy either on blood being spilled. I also kinda like the way Momonga is designed in this episode too:

Madhouse censors nothing. Amazing. The death knight was brutal. What he did to that one soldier was horrifying. Like he's dead already, could you stop stabbing him? Lots of anger issues, that knight.

That was really good. More of this please after the slow ass start.

I see, he is losing some of his humanity seemingly.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE. DAMN. I am so happy he wrecked those bastards. I wonder what kind of monsters are attacking, and if he will call all of his guards to fight. I like that knight, that came at the end of the episode. I was sooo satisfied, when his undead soldier killed that spoiled noble, that wanted the other to die so that he can escape. It was great.

Great episode. I'm really liking the pacing. It allows me to appreciate the action scenes much more than I normally would. The worldbuilding has been on point as well.

The scene with the death knight was so brutal that it actually made me cringe a bit. The lack of censorship really surprised me. Props to Madhouse on that.

I am glad they didn't censor anything.
That was a gruesome slaughtering indeed. The death knight was brutal, Stabbing the death soldier over and over lol.
He doesn't feel anything even though he just killed a fellow humans like him, and yet he wanted to save that village. Apparently he is going to lose his humanity side completely in the later episode

Yay for no censors! Thank you, Madhouse. That slaughter increased my psycho pass.

In LN it's way more explanation , he save the village because he want to have more information ,test stuff out and also by doing so get some neutral karma for "touch me" , he always have ulterior motive , this anime still doesn't quite explain that yet

Finally, something happened, the MC could have seriously hurried up when he introduced himself to the girls, uh, that kinda broke the action excitement I had going there, not to mention it broke into exposition as soon as it was done, eh.
That cliffhanger too.
Not bad so far though, pacing could still be a bit faster overall though.

Really digging Albedo's armor. That is how armors should be.
I am glad Momonga is starting the conquest.

That death knight stab... oh glorious, no censor.
Episode felt so short. They should have at least previewed the ones surrounding the village.

Well the pacing simply coudn't have been faster....they already skipped a lot of inner monologues including that soldier who died and a detailed talk about various subjects with the village head, or rather everything was fast forwarded which makes some of the interactions seem very shallow

There's also a reason they are attacking those villages and it's definitely not plunder but that'll probably be explained next ep, hopefully.
That said I really enjoyed this episode was great seeing the death knight.

The guys talked about it at the start of the episode, even the MC wondered about something similar, I think it's very obvious why they attacked the village. And honestly, all that stuff that I read above about them skipping game mechanics or various subjects with the chief and stuff, that doesn't matter here, it really doesn't, it's just extra stuff that really doesn't add much to the story, they just gave us the essential information: what he had from the game doesn't work and the countries are at war, that's enough here.
The MC already has enough monologues by himself too.

Damn, I never expected Overlord to be this gory. I mean it's nothing over the top, but I didn't think we'd see head's flying and people being cut in half. That was amazing, but I will say one thing, I wish he stayed in his Knight suit, I hate that big bulky and those damn's bone horns lol.

Also, I think Albedo is my fav character this year, I mean her Suit freaking rule's, wish we got to see he in action but that Death Knight made up for that (Somewhat)
I'm really enjoying this and now I'm preying someone brings the manga oversea's
Also, was I the only one who thought that was too short, I mean it felt too short must have been that good

See actually It does matter, these little things combined are also a part that make the novel what it really is. Of course I'm not complaining too much since it's impossible to fit everything in the anime format.But because of that fast forwarding some people might've gotten confused on some of the things like currency for example It's definitely not unusable just not in circulation but it was actually used by Ainz to make a deal with the village head. That currency thing is very important later on.Of course I wasnt expecting them to put those in just saying that details do matter and that the pace simply cant be speeded up any more.

Just like that scene with Demiurge in the previous episode.

Ah and that plundering- It's not for causing strife between countries like Ainz thought, although he got part of it right.. They'll definitiely mention it next ep.

Hooray, they didn't censor all the violence. The first two episodes were interesting as buildup, but now that we've got to the action things will only continue to get more and more interesting. The Death Knight was as brutal and epic as in the LN as well, despite being in some CGI that, while not bad in itself, does not fit in well with the rest of the series' aesthetic.

Loved it :D Adaption wise and episode wise. It was awesome how they summarized the conversation with the chief of the village with Ainz's monologue.

Ainz is too BA! Gotta love how he approaches a new world and gains intel first. That's how a character should be. Also him not saving the village for free was awesome too.

The Death Knight was brutal :D Nxt ep should be awesome

Very different from the previous episodes. The mistery of the world he's ended in is quite thick. I'm really enjoying this

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Wow. Something actually happened in this episode and not just pointless talking.
OK episode.

Still not a big fan of this world. I have no idea how it works.. it's just a bunch of name drops and info dumps. Is there even any real depth to this world?

Seriously, give us proper world building like in Magi or Nanatsu no Taizai

This anime is getting better every episode.
I like how momonga notices subtle but important things.
The opening is really nice.
That mask though lol.
Adelaide's armor is nice.
There are indeed still some things i don't understand in this world, but i'm sure they'll get covered soon.

The death knight mercilessly enjoying massacring the knights.

This episode was good to pique my interest on other possible spells, especially the summoning spells and other game mechanics. Any other potential ex-players could be interesting, seeing a glimpse of Touch-san.

World building wise, still waiting for more information and development.
