I feel like there's a bit too much girls on this show. It's not so suitable to the show because it's a battle shounen(?) show. Tell me how you guys feel. Most of the girls here are just for fan service?

I think because the manga does consist of 'harem' genre too

In-universe I think it makes sense since most of the supreme ones were men. And a lot of them seemed to be perverts as well.
In general I prefer a balanced-out cast and I think this one qualifies. If we look at the floor guardians there are 3 females out of 8 known members. The battle maids are all female of course, but I guess that is to be expected given the name.

Battle shounen? What? It's OP protagonist isekai. Those are usually harems. If anything we need moar grils.

its a harem anime (at lest it was in the original WN)

No duh the girls are there for fan service. They're not the kind of characters to have much depth or personality. Also, I don't see how Overlord is battle shounen.

Battle Shounen? The fuck? How could you get it that wrong? And that's bullshit most of the strongest characters in the story are female.

Battle shounen? Are you confusing something? This is more like seinen. Can you list any battle shounen with rape, torture, sex slaves, body mutilation ? And why does being female made them not suitable for battle show?

I don't see the cast have that much female. There are the maids but in a noble household, the maids outnumber butler so that is normal. Outside of them, we only got Shaltear, Albedo and Aura. The lizardman are mostly male too.

Whatever you say. Wise people usually said "If you don't know what you're talking about, the best thing is to shut up." Would be a good advice for you.

Sorry about that. I'm probably not as familiar with fanfic porn as you are, and know a lot less about how skeletons get jerked off. But hey, each to their own.

If you consider reading, time wasting, then that showes the kind of person you are. We're done here. You can go back to this greater life you seem to have.

I said reading "shit," such as light novels. I obviously have time for more distinguished literature.

When I have the time, I read literature by classic writers like Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, or Hand Christian Andersen (Well, I guess it's Western after all). And Harry Potter is pretentious? Isn't that like, one step above Twilight tier? Never heard of royal road, but it sounds like garbage.

traps don't count. You can never have "too much" waifu grills in a show; in fact the more waifus you have the better the series would be.

Wait until Draudillion and Evileye get fully introduced. And I forgot already, did Zesshi Zetsumei do her whole bit about marrying the person who can defeat her back in episode 1? I swear, you'd be rolling your eyes hard at the situations these three are in and statements they make that obviously baits the fanbase to giddiness at how Ainz is unknowingly their dream bone daddy.

I don't have anything to contribute to this topic so sorry in advance but I have to say this gave me a chuckle.
Should we all be impressed that you read shakespeare? We all had to read that shit in school and while at it's time his works were new and amazing, by this point they're outdated and outdone, just part of a history worth learning (not to mention a pain to read). I know this all comes across as me taking the piss but you just sound/read as super pretentious.

Just so I don't completely ignore the topic, The main women in this are some of the strongest characters in the series. Are they not allowed to be attractive and crazy strong at the same time?
If this show were a sausagefest like the OP seems to want then I wouldn't even bother with it.

Preach, brother!
In all seriousness, the females in the show make it a lot better, and also this shakespear-readin’ ass has his head so far up his own ass he can probably taste what he just ate.

Though this is all but a second rate alternative fantasy world, and those females just got their levels handed to them. So they are kinda there, yes. For the lesser viewer to appreciate the quality of drawing on their short skirts 'n sheet.
