Overlord

The worst part of this anime is the overarching bigger picture plot that is never discussed and hardly ever reaches any conclusions. Of course that is the fact that the mc is stuck in a video game and never answers any of the questions to why he is trapped in that world and what will he do about it to figure out how it happened. Only head canon theories can the fans lean towards but this show should bring some closure to this point that he might never get out of this matrix. They are milking it dry of Ainz taking over the lands and becoming a ruler but nothing about his "real life" origins or a need to return back. Sword Art Online literally did it in 12 episodes and us the viewers knew exactly what was going on with all those people being stuck inside the virtual environment. No investment mystery box that makes you want to keep watching. It doesn't matter, things just happen and we are supposed to feel engaged to know more about it. It isn't a slice of life. Not enough cliffhangers of intensity to generate conversation.

Wanna find out what will happen if you find yourself in a middle earth like world with god like powers carma value -500 and army of monsters under you command well then this is just the thing you are looking for

This is one kick ass anime with all the right ingredients to make this a tour-da-force to beat. I started watching this anime at the same time as my hero academy and hunter x hunter which are also both magnificent anime. of all the 3 I enjoyed this the most probably because it's so short and I guess it's personal opinion really but this satisfied my craving for action and magic. hunter x hunter is a class act and a very intelligent anime which the other two cannot touch in that department. but the characters in overlord are all mysterious and I can't wait to see the full potential of Ainz Ooal Gown. A fellow reviewer hit the spot when him/her said that the series was far too short. and it ended on such a high that it almost made me angry that they only made 13 episodes. I WANT MORE AND CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE :)

There is little original or new about the premise, young man trapped in a MMORPG game with incredible powers, the way its done is amazingly entertaining. While all powerful, the world is unknown and the attempts at exploring this new world is both entertaining and interesting. However, we are not dealing with the good guys here. While Momonga shows an ability to help the helpless and avenge the wronged, he is not a good guy. This balance is actually critical as the key tension is the balance between being a good guy and being an evil character. Well worth the watch, i only wish the DVD's would come out quicker so i can fully view season 2 and 3.

This was such an incredible and amazing surprise!! From the first episode of the first season to the last episode of the third season I was so excited. The way the story goes on is so unexpected and I love the fact that these are not you're typical anime characters, where you can always predict who is gonna do what. Plus it's so funny. I can't wait for the next season and see what happens next!!
