I love how they sent Barbro to his death thinking that it was safer to go to Carne village.

I Mean it's just a normal village as far as they know. They have no idea it's been fortified and has ogres and goblins and militia in it

A death flag after another was raised. I doubt Climb will die as Renner and Ains are most likely working together as the "do not dye your armor" seems more like "you must be very easy to spot to avoid you getting killed by people that knows I want to see you suffer but I cannot stay in the battle and thus your death will await" kind of feeling.

Stronoff might end being a pawn of Ains and Gazef dead because he will come to understand where the SHALLTEAR BLOODFALLEN lives and all. I assume.

Sometimes I feel bad to not have read the light novel but at least I have the surprise effect!


In S2 Renner wanted Climb to die.
Gazef has been giving us a lot of death flags these chapters so it's probably him, but don't forget that Renner don't want Climb to stay alive, she wants him to die in order to make that adventurer of the blue roses to revive him, making him a good for nothing that will stay under Renner's "care" without any way for escape.

The struggle between the noble faction and the royal faction wasn't properly established and raven didn't get enough screen time. (Like always the novels are better).
Also they crammed dozens or even hundreds of pages into a few min at the end... it makes me kinda sad tbh.

I am sure it wasn't directly mentioned in the anime, nor the LN, but I think the reason Climb managed to survive in S2 that time, despite Renner's deal with Demi-Urge, was due to Ainz/Momon appearing on the adventurer request (filled by Marquis Raven, you know, the guy shown in this episode), causing Demi-Urge to have to change his plans as I think originally he was supposed to do much more damage to the capital and grow as an "evil adversary" until later Momon comes and defeats him, but because Demi-Urge, as always, was convinced that Ainz had a much deeper meaning in appearing early, he revised his plans to fit those of Ainz.

During his discussion in the abandoned building, when Ainz and Demi-Urge were talking about the merits of the plan, he was definitly convinced that Ainz was just humoring him when he said "you found one more advantage in the plan than me, you bested me for the first time". There's no doubt that as far as Demi-Urge is concerned, Ainz probably found 50 or more additional advantages and several flaws in this plan, after all Ainz was the leader of all Supreme Beings, who he proposed the King title of "Wise King" for (although it was rejected in the end).

As a result the deal between Renner and Demi-Urge couldn't be fulfilled because with Momon's and Nabe's unexpected intervention, the adventurer's side was doing much better than expected and Climb never got into a dire enough situation to be killed by the demons. As for the deal? A slightly interesting NINGEN or AINZ OOAL GOWN-SAMA? It's not even a question who Demi-Urge would prioritize. Too bad for you, Renner.

So Ainz/Momon unknowingly saved Climb from becoming a full-time pet back in season 2.

He forbade it to the guardians and pleiades, not to the various demons that spawned within Gehenna's flames.

If it's not like I say then why don't you explain what you think is the ACTUAL truth? Do you think that Renner never told Demi-Urge her plans or that she only thought about this idea of "taking care" of Climb after the deal was already made? Or do you think Demi-Urge planned to renegade on this part of the deal from the very beginning for some reason? Not answering this question creates a plot hole because if Renner knew beforehand that Climb would be protected then she wouldn't have a reason to have that creepy monologue about "taking care" of Climb - a plot hole.

Unless you explain it with "a moment of pure delusional insanity", but then she would have a more general delusion, not so specificly tied to this incident.

I mean, this is a discussion forum and he took the initiative to respectfully tell you that Action is not the main focus of Overlord (granted after you answered him with such manner he them proceeded to not respect you either but oh well...). I think it doesn't make sense to comment on a discussion and rebuke someone that say something about what you have commented.

I do agree it was a bit of a slow episode but overall i enjoyed it, i will have a completely different thought if next episode they don't live up to expectations considering the build up so far.

Oh yes showing what a key character on the kingdom side who has been keeping the kingdom afloat in his own way, is like behind closed doors and with his family is oh so useless. Some day you'll realize that action without meat on the bones is utterly worthless

Renner's words was simply to convince the prince and marquis raeven,don't take it at face value.Climb is gold-rank as an adventurer at best and it is doubtful whether or not he'll survive resurrection as minimal requirement for safe resurrection is mithril rank for adventurers

She said that he MIGHT die and in this case she has a plan. She never said that she wants him to be killed for sure.

So it was just a mere whim to think of that? I mean considering the author's tendency to create several red herrings (this did, in a way, turn out to be one, considering Climb was safe and her "foreshadowing" didn't come true, similar to the cliffhanger of Lupusregina wishing for Carne village's destruction), I would not put it past the author, that the scene was purely there to troll the readers/watcher... I guess I can accept that answer then.

Look dude, she isn't normal but she isn't stupid. In fact, she is a genius. Marquis asked her why she was willing to send Climb on such a dangerous mission. What was she supposed to say? "No worries, I'm actually in cahoots with this demon Jaldabaoth so Climb will be ok"

That goes without saying. Also the lack of intel makes even more sense since during Carne Village arc we learned that they were pardoned from Taxes after the attack so no official would have any business going there once the fortification and new troops came into being

So the troops begin to mobilize, the war is already declared
Prince Barbro was sent to Carne village, to gather information, but we all know that this guy is condemned, if you remember well, Lupusregina is the keeper of Carne village.
On the other hand the army of E-rantel is condemned and I dare to say that the Empire also has the days numbered.
Apparently the last 3 episodes will be massacres or battles that will be won by the sovereigns of the Tomb of Nazarick.

PS: Lee-tan will lose his dad apparently (sorry, I'm clear that this guy will not live, after what happened with Arche, it's inevitable)

Not because of the difference of how it ended? I mean Overlord 1 had this epic battle at the end, while Overlord 2 ended on an overglorified theatrical performance, a "fake battle".

Overlord 3 is currently still rated higher than Overlord 1, you know, so I'd suggest waiting until the final episode and a bit after that, when the score settles. Overlord 3's ending (end of LN vol. 9), based on accounts of the source material readers (which includes me), is considered the best among the other ending points (i.e. compared to Overlord 1's LN vol. 3 ending and Overlord 2's LN vol. 6 ending).

Of course it's still possible that the adaptation ends up being a complete bust by the anime staff and the ending gets a cold reception due to that, so we should really just wait and see how it plays out.

Overlord may evolve to the point where it develops a different following than those who liked previous seasons, which is fine. Lots of stuff is popular in the short term, but then doesn't pass the test of time. So perhaps it shouldn't be a popularity contest all the time anyway.

But I agree with the idea that world building should be done in engaging ways, rather than feel like killing time or falling back on sort of predictable or basic story lines for the "nice" characters. Guess that puts me in the wrong, wrong minority of people who are wrong about storytelling and this series and even life itself etc. I was wrong on the Internet, but oh well. So be it.

I can still look forward to the coming slaughter in this battle though, while being critical of some plot points.

To cherry-pick another example, I never "got" the battle maid, battle nun etc. thing in anime. Why so much enthusiasm for such odd uniforms and habits? Fighting in such stuff only seems silly looking to me. But of course that's subjective. I think Albedo wins the award for practical yet cool looking armor.

This episode wasn't too bad, though it didn't feel as impactfull as it should have been. Especially Ainz's army should have been comprised of different undeads than just death knights, Madhouse is really slacking here. I guess since they have death knight's CG done, they just copy pasted it there. Hopefully they are making that splat scene looking really well, or Madhouse is going to loose a lot of points for me. I think they are one of the best studios out there, but season 2, and especially this season of Overlord have been quite disappointing. Even A-1 could do better with it I think -_-

Overlord 2's score is 7.99. Overlord 1's score is 8.07. How is Overlord 2 beating out Overlord 1? I assumed you had used MAL scores to determine that most people liked S2 and the first half of S3. If not, what is the source of this statement?
People with low average anime scores don't have high standards. They are just bad at choosing good anime to watch.

Not because of the difference of how it ended? I mean Overlord 1 had this epic battle at the end, while Overlord 2 ended on an overglorified theatrical performance, a "fake battle".

Overlord 3 is currently still rated higher than Overlord 1, you know, so I'd suggest waiting until the final episode and a bit after that, when the score settles. Overlord 3's ending (end of LN vol. 9), based on accounts of the source material readers (which includes me), is considered the best among the other ending points (i.e. compared to Overlord 1's LN vol. 3 ending and Overlord 2's LN vol. 6 ending).

Of course it's still possible that the adaptation ends up being a complete bust by the anime staff and the ending gets a cold reception due to that, so we should really just wait and see how it plays out.


The best you could do to determine why Overlord 2 scored lower is to check the reviews. If you want to know the answer to your question, you can do that. As I said, only the first half of Overlord 3 was boring. The 2nd half is the best it has been throughout the series.

No. The first half of season 3 is as good as the second half. You are probably a anime-only who just likes action and hates world building. Overlord is clearly not for you.

It was at the 8.00/7.99 mark like a week after it finished airing.

Appeal to popularity?

In fairness the weakest books in this currently 13 volume series are 4,5,7,8, in my opinion. The first 8 episodes of this season were books 7 and 8...so personally I am surprised that it is viewed that much more favrorably. I guess just because there is more of Ainz?

Boring build up episode but I know it was necessary at least they showed Ains even if it's a little bit. And look at those three who will meet up for drinks after the war, that noble who is a doting dad that will retire after the war, even that crown prince who was sent on another mission to supposedly save his life, Lol we all know what these mean. This episode is a massive death flag. To be honest when they showed Gazef with his sword drawn pointed at Ains in the opening, I knew he's gonna die.

Forgive me for being slow, but I thought Nazarick sided with Nix, not with Princess Renners kingdom. Is Ainz playing playing both side?, and spoiler warning but i already know what kingdom will fall.

I am unsure if you are just trolling at this point but 1-2 days at this stage will not notably affect a show's score. It was 7.99 when I made my original post stating Overlord 2 had a lower score. I have proof too. The Wayback Machine is a website that stores snapshots of a page. The snapshot of Overlord 2 on 7/09/2018 showed it had a score of 7.99. See https://web.archive.org/web/20180907204002/https://myanimelist.net/anime/35073/Overlord_II.

The biggest reason Overlord 3 has a high score is it is still airing. Popular shows typically get hype rated while it is still airing. There are also people who do not rate until or only watch when the show ends. Also, the 2nd half of the show is the best it has ever been, so there is somewhat of a reason for a higher score. Overlord 3 also scored much higher because it is the 3rd season. After the first season, people who dislike the show immensely stop watching. The same thing happens for each season. This inflates the scores by reducing the amount of people who would give it a lower score. There are also different expectations and knowledge from new viewers who did not watch previous seasons. For instance, the worker's raid on Nazarick was very boring for me because it did not offer anything new. There was no need to reiterate how overpowered Nazerick was. The fights were short and predictable and did not teach the viewers anything new about Nazerick or the characters.

This was the dryest episode within the series. 3 minutes of Daddy and baby playing -uselss. The dialogue was real bad. Best part was at credits.


Oh yes showing what a key character on the kingdom side who has been keeping the kingdom afloat in his own way, is like behind closed doors and with his family is oh so useless. Some day you'll realize that action without meat on the bones is utterly worthless


If that's the case, why not mention Nigredo, one of Albedo's sisters and the significance of her role - also her part on being compassionate? They are overkilling it just like with the Lizard arc.

Another build up episode, but this time it wasn't as interesting imo.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
