THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
What an episode, we got Renner making her appearance again.

Not only that but it seems this arc is really starting to introduce more drama and characters as I had expected as of Overlord. Hoping the season will add more characterization to the other minor characters though. And in the meantime, we also got Momon taking care of business in town and probably with the empire pretty soon. There's much work to be done at those tombs.

I have to admit, they managed to keep this episode tense too. It was a buildup episode that made me curious about next time.

Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix ll finaly have a major role in the show he was by far my favorite character in the books. I hope they don't rush his arc.
Everyone who likes this anime please go read the novels they are much better.

I liked how they introduced the workers, with the pacing they’re going right now, they could finish this arc by ep 8, more episodes for book 9.

Those poor fodders. They don't know in what mess they're going to enter.

Also, how to forget that time where Gilgamesh appeared in Overlord.

Oohoo you're not gonna want to see those tomb/ruins workers! cause that place is where ur gonna face ur death

Dude use

That's just a dick move by u

I never read the novels even I am sure they are walking in to their death by seeing this episode
*A new tomb that was never before in the map and is in another country
*Upfront gold for the quest
*Workers talking about their future of quiet good life before a big job
*Momonga response after hearing reason for their job "it was a worthless question"
Now that I have written this I don't think any of this is a death flag I'm sure they will have a Disney ending in the next episode

Oh hey...the forum is back!!! Back to posting useless opinions and comments! LOL

I guess the ruins they are after is the Great Tomb of Nazarick? It's clearly a trap for the poor adventurers from the Empire and that's probably why Momon asked them why would they go there in the first place, they're after the loot and so they're a fair game. Is this part of Demiurge's plan? I'm guessing probably.

I'm soooo sure that the dungeon that they are going is either Nazarick or the copy that they built xD So i may assume that Ainz wants to play 2 roles at the same time, the bad one (Ainz) and the good one (the adventurer), i think it all makes part of his plan... but let's see xD

Yeyyyyyyyyyy, even more new characters xD At least we saw the princess and those other guys as well.
Let's wait for the next episodes.

I was wondering when the blond guy would show up again after his first appearance at the end of last season....

Anyway, nice buildup episode, but things aren't looking good for these workers.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Pretty crappy episode. Not enough time for all this set up. They skipped everyone shitting their pants in the presence of Death Knight rendering the whole scene pretty much pointless. No idea why they left the meeting between Ainz and the old magic caster for later, it broke the flow and it won't make much sense to go back to it after shit hits the fan.

I was expecting more Momon. Instead we got a lot of new characters. Which is ok I guess. I just hope they do some good to the story instead of being cannon fodder.

I can see that Overlord is attempting to do more world building, which is appreciated. A part of me wishes however, that there would be a tad bit more action, which will be getting next episode.
