| Yep, i think i can say it. Overlord is now my anime of the season. |
  |
| Death Knight wrecked them all. Including that guy. Epic Dat mask of Momonga XD |
| Things I appreciate: 1. Well done pacing. Ep 2 could be a bit faster, but this ep is perfect. Fast enough to make things fluid and interesting, slow enough to leave details without overexplaining everything. 2. No censoring is always good. 3. Lord Touch Me is the only single comedy in this ep, but that cracked me up. 4. Momonga-sama is a very interesting MC. I liked its dual narrative, logical thinking and neutrality in morale. 5. PROPER BADASS FEMALE ARMOR. Could be better if without boob curve but this balance between sexy, badass, and realistic is acceptable. 5/5 will continue watching. GG madhouse. |

| The Gore!!! Finally a series with actual violence. it's been way too long since i've seen a recent show that uncensored also good to see some great world building, hopefully politics will also play a major part in this. the politics was the best part of Log Horizon hopefully this also delivers on that front |
 |
| Amazing ep, love our MC and his inner monologues, also like the setting of the world and how he perceives the world and those within. Glad its uncensored and the action was nice~ |
| I didn't expect it to have that much gore. Best episode so far I wish if he resurrected the parents of these two sisters |
| Holy shit that was good. Was thinking about droping it because of the slow start but this episode was the best of yhis anime season so far. 10/10 |
Klockan said: KuroYaksha said: Throwing random shit at the viewer is exactly what this series is doing. It's not proper world building, it's just really the slow (the first 2 episodes that is). With those useless two episodes, they could've gave us more info on this world and it's history. There is nothing random about this. The events we did see this episode were: ... Agree with you. I think the first 2 episodes are paced just right. The MC himself is confused about his circumstances and it's unnatural to just assume there should be copious amounts of exposition just to satisfy impatient viewers. The great thing about this episode is just how much you actually learn about the world itself without any actual mega-monologues. In addition to what ^Klockan described, we get a feel of how powerful the MC is, what type of magic he uses, his own emotions (or lack of it) on the matters at hand. I find it an interesting decision to not revive the villagers and I wonder what would happen if the memory-erasing magic doesn't work... The massacre itself was a joy to watch. I'm expecting great things from show. |

| So much blood and gore o3o Death knight was badass tbh Can't wait for the next one c: |
| Hmm so the Momonga showed mercy and helped the humans being slaughtered in the village, that is quite an unusual spell caster. |
| Argg...I already want to see the next episode ... |
 |

| Awesome! The episode felt so short |
| That undead warior looked so damn cool |

| This episode was near perfect. Just enough exposition to push the plot further, but with sufficient action so as not to render viewers unconscious. In fact, the lack of censoring of the gory battle helped somewhat to hype the massacre. The continuous self-discovery of Momonga himself becoming more Inhuman and detached from the mortal world was done really well this episode, and it only took him killing a few human aggressors to achieve. The time they wasted last episode monologuing to himself after issuing commands to his servants really should have been used for the events in this episode and part of the next. Truth be told though, Episodes 1 and 2 could have probably been compacted into 1 and a half episodes, and still had the same effect. I'm getting a distinct Log Horizon 2 vibe here, what with Momonga becoming less and less responsive to the plight of humans in this new world. It's like he is slowly losing his humanity, and his only link to it lays in his memories of his previous Guild members. That said, he really showcases sharp observational and processing skills. To not revive the dead villagers because it would lead to troublesome implications down the line, requesting payment for saving the village to avoid raising suspicion, using his goodwill to request information from the village chief... these are all skills that one wouldn't acquire even in a game. Momonga is really damn smart, and really skilled at reading people, even if he knows nothing about the world he's in. His lack of empathy towards the weak, and his observation of how even his servants view Humans as beneath them, makes it easy for him to view everything objectively, no strings attached. All that, combined with his OP magical skills, makes him a formidable and extremely badass character. kataklism said: CandyFace said: Hmm so the Momonga showed mercy and helped the humans being slaughtered in the village, that is quite an unusual spell caster. as he said, he had to request something in exchange to not look suspicious. I think he did so more to honor his friend, the great Lord "Touch Me", than out of actual mercy. He had his own selfish desire to spread the fear of his name to neighboring villages, and to acquire additional information about the mysterious world that he inexplicably found himself transported to. He's already thinking ten steps ahead of everyone else (what with gaining information about the currency, the political situation of the world, as well as ways to acquire more information, in case he ever comes into contact with those in power in this world). Absolutely love Mr. "Ainz Ooal Gown", but Albedo's armor totally takes the cake. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| This show is still wierd to me. Did he travel universes somehow or is he still in a game |

 Note to self, don't piss off the Dread Knight. Pretty great episode and loving the ED as usual~ |
 |
| Pretty cool episode. Glad that he decided to save the village. It was funny to see that girls' reaction to the healing potion xD The action was pretty good, although the part where the undead warrior dude repeatedly stabbed that knight was kind disturbing o_o Yay Ains is learning more about the world he is in and making allies! Very good show so far! |

| Well, this one was definitely more exciting than the other two. I'll keep watching ^^ |
.....    |
| Really wanted to see Albedo in action. Next time I guess. |
| That was brutal but I loved every second of it especially this part. I'm expecting great things from this anime after this episode. I wanted to see Albedo in action and it seems like I wont have to wait that long. Avenger-senpai said: frenze12 said: I got to give it to Madhouse for having the guts to do this. It managed to do what A-pictures couldn't with Gate Jieitai Kanochi nite Kaku Tatakaeri. A darn shame since both where adaptions of a mature seinen novel. It proves those people defending A-pictures again how without "brutality" you can't expect certain scenes to have the same impact feeling of dread. ^ I agree with this, after Rokka no Yuusha's 3rd episode and now this one, it's very clear that showing the brutality gives off a very different aspect. I didn't mind it before in GATE but now after seeing the difference I really wish they showed it in a more brutal way. |

| This episode is just awesome, a lot of actions and new information about the world. So some kingdoms seems to be aggressive with the NPC. The MC defended a village with his powers and a lot of death. The next seems to be interesting. |
| yay, it gets pretty interesting |
 |
| I think Momonga started to forget being human.Albedo's armor got me like "oh my oh my legendary armor set".And the mask made me laugh lol.Serie getting better and better. Last but not least horraaaay for no-cencors |
 |
Avenger-senpai said: Note to self, don't piss off the Dread Knight. Pretty great episode and loving the ED as usual~ I'm ok with bloody stuffs when It uses well (Berserk anyone?), but I'm quite "confuse". Is it the fact It has a brutal and gory moment or because It has no censors people enjoying this moment? |
HandsomeMan said: Holy shit, this honestly felt like 10 minutes. I thought the first half was done and then the ED started playing. I must be really into this. Pretty much this. Episode felt was shorter than normal. Albedo's armor really reminds me of Accel world's Kuroyukihime's armor. |
