I'll start by saying it's a good watch overall. While the whole "being trapped in a video game" thing is tired, this book adaptation does well in execution. The characters are well acted, the story lines interesting and complex (usually in a two-faced political sense), and most characters likeable.

Now here's where the show falters for me:

1. Much of the show (especially the second season) actually kicks Ains's story to the side to spends several episodes on side characters, building them up as their own protagonists, only to have Ains kill them off and never be mentioned again, essentially wasting the viewer's time and emotional investment.

2. Ains's (the protagonist) allies, the NPCs him and his friends created, constantly worship him. It was humorous at first, but after three seasons, this gets very, very grating. Some scenes are literally just stroking the ego of the main character, who is in actuality a huge turbo virgin who never leaves his house.

3. To use a video game term, being a shut in and doing nothing but leveling up and getting the best items, Ains is way too OP (overpowered). The show only gets its value by expounding upon the backstories of its side characters that exist within the video game, the ones that aren't Ains or the NPCs who serve him. His fights are somewhat boring, because again, they only serve to stroke the main character's ego.

3. Ains is wholeheartedly, unapologetically evil. Something went wrong when he was trapped in the game and he lost any humanity he had. Sometimes the show will build up a character's backstory for several episodes only to have Ains or his NPCs kill them brutally and anticlimactically. Or have them tortured and then killed. Or enslaved. The show does a good job to make sure you dislike its protagonist, and root for his enemies. Maybe that's by design, but it's not for me.

From past experience I find the majority of the trap in game anime to short anime with mediocre entertainment value and storyline. Characters tend to be poorly put together or random NPCs that don't matter. Half the time the storyline does not even make sense in these type of anime but Overlord is fantastic and one of my favorite.

I found Overlord to be a binge watch anime that I can't get enough of. Amazing action scenes with a overpowered main character with frighting powers. His name is Ainz Ooal Gown and I have not been able to decide if he is a good guy hero type or a ruthless dictator bad guy. His companions tend to sway both ways as well which makes predicting what happens impossible.

Just like any good anime it has the perfect amount of pervertedness and a ton of humor. The storyline is great and will keep you in suspense just long enough to have you on the edge of your seat. Even the scenes that are not plot fulfilling tend to be very entertaining and a no point was I bored.

I wish I could of gave this anime 10 stars but while it's perfect for what it is, it's just not quite a masterpiece but equally entertaining.

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.

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 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!!

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 :)

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.

This anime has everything and I am really enjoying watching it.

Keep up the good work!

Let me just start off by saying, the premise is interesting and I was surprised by how strong the storyline was to keep me entertained throughout. Unlike other anime, this one doesn't include excessive internal dialogue which is a saving grace as that's normally what detracts from their potential in my experience.

The backstory, that being an indestructible protagonist that must face off in combat, is at odds with there being character development or risk. The episodes are too short to properly explain the motive for the main character. In the fourth season, a mysterious dragon is introduced which carried promise, however nothing more seems to have released since 2022. And four seasons later is a bit late to introduce an antagonist. So in a way the meta storyline is pretty slow despite the short episodes.

There's a lot more that could be done here. For instance, why is he there? Nothing has been explained. There's no game-breaking exploits, glitches, etc. He's sexually distant despite being in what can only be described as a man's dream, surrounded by beautiful subjects throwing themselves at his feet for sex. Very little panic about the fact that he's in an inescapable simulation? Why's he still hung up on players when the NPCs seem to be fully sentient and practically real?

It has a game of thrones style political discourse which is excellent. But then why make it so obvious who the victor is? His enemies are trumped at every step, it's just giving the expectation that they're insignificant.

Despite what other people said, I thought the ego-stroking was a good feature of the show. It was really funny when they attributed his coincidental presence at the arena to a stroke of strategic genius. I thought they were building up demiurge to be the main antagonist, but that never happened. Four seasons and basically nothing changed.

Shame, I'd like to see more but it seems to be getting made quite slowly.

The main character is so overpowered as a max level rpg player gone full "no lifer" he owns every rare epic legendary godlike item that has ever existed in the game, nothing is a challenge, he is pretty much the Sherlock Holmes of rpgs, he can understand explain and counter any setup just without any of his flaws.

minor gripes some of the rpg mechanics aren't consistent, in one episode the overlord has to equip a cham to grant himself the power of flight in another he simply calls out a spell name. also for a necromancer his spell types seem all over the place and not really restricted to necromancy magic.

in my opinion the worst thing part about this show it could have been set 100% in an actual fantasy world about the last 'supreme being' waking from a slumber in his tomb finding all the other 'supreme beings' had left and be nothing todo with a guy sucked into an rpg and nothing would be lost. not to say that is a bad thing but the rpg premise is wasted.

first season was at least semi interesting you have the evil overlord type guy actually being the good guy for a change, the trapped in an rpg as an undead but my interest was lost somewhere in the second season where it seemed they weren't going anywhere with it.

This is a complete and utter great anime. Lord Ainz is both badass but merciful, and he makes for a great main character. The animation style is beautiful, and the story has a deep meaning. It is your proper setup to an amazing series. Season 2 is already in the making and hopefully this can become a long running series, I wouldn't complain! This deserves a watch if your in to fantasy and action, I won't spoil too much.

Although the series is based on RPG style there is nothing that needs an explanation while watching as the moves and skills are named dictionary appropriate (that is you can understand exactly whats happening even if you've never played an RPG game before) The original language of the series is Japaneses i will recommend watching the English dub as it is well interpreted. it has excellent character development even what seemed like fillers have come to play huge rows in the newer seasons begging to differ its intent. all round i cant wait to see what happens next.

It was an amazing anime, worth watching. It wasn't childish like sword art online, more mature, grusome and etc. The character development was good. But most of it i loved the openings of anime especially season 1. I wished the story should have been more interesting and thrilling but it wasn't bad at all. For story 8/10. Its worth watching.

Absolutely brilliant anime and loyal to the light novel although too many the light novel are hundreds of pages per volume. They execute the anime adaptation masterfully. It's totally one of the finest rpg style anime out there with unique style and incredible well done plots.

The world eventually is fleshed out in some interesting ways and some of the side characters like Enri are interesting the problem for me lies in how generic the world presents itself, we have a convoluted magic system that can do everything until it doesnt, knigths that are either boy scouts or just living garbage, no actual plot structure every arc feels very disconnected from the next and an actual interesting cast of monsters that get shafted for generic fantasy characters for the most part.

If you like Isekai you will enjoy Overlord as an overall anime is average.

First of all absolutely fantastic series and makes us look at ourselves as individuals in today's world and the society we're in. My point being what would you do if you can do what you want with no consequences? Bad, good inbetween well my opinion of this series is if your small in the world you make a choice. This person is in my opinion had that choice and thinks more about his and not there's.

Although the target audience of this anime is that the young guys, despite this anime, are simply superbly drawn, voiced and done as a whole. Unlike other animes of a similar genre, such as SOA or Gate, this anime touches a single and uniquely exciting plot, namely that you are reborn in the computer world with imbalance character. For me "Overlord" - best isekai-anime for all time, because from the first episode this anime sets the bar too high and does not let go until the last episode. Sorry for the mistakes - english is not my native language.

As the title implies: This is an Isekai anime (An anime where a character gets transported to an unknown world) where a guy gets trapped in his MMO character in a new fantasy world, with his previous NPC companions now gaining full autonomy (while maintaining an incessant undying loyalty to the guy). As a high level player, Ainz Ooal Gown comes to find out that he is in pretty much every sense of the word: invincible in the world that he now calls home.

While the concept was cool for the first season as the main character tries to understand the state of the world, his capabilities and his plan going forward: the series unfortunately suffers from the fatal flaw of making Ainz an omnipotent character. Even through the latest season: there's been essentially no character who's able to come close to the power level of even Ainz' inner circle. This leads to an exposition that relies more on overcoming abstracted political issues rather than some form of tangible villian which may or may not be an issue depending on your point of view. Much of what Ainz' does in order to overcome these tasks is less than savory and makes him seem more like a villian than a protagonist that we should care about too.

In short: while not necessarily a bad series: I feel like much of the potential was wasted in this one. If you're looking for an Isekai, I'd recommend Re:Zero instead.

It's a decent anime, although it feels disjointed and lacks focus due to the overwhelming number of characters. While the storyline has potential, the execution is lacking.

Throughout seasons 1 to 4, there are too many events occurring, none of which offer a satisfying conclusion. Several subplots feel abandoned, while others are rushed or unnecessary.

The character count is excessive, which detracts from the overall impact. In terms of action, it's just okay; the skill sets are solid but not groundbreaking.

The world-building aspect is enjoyable and reminiscent of the "Lord of the Rings" franchise, but I believe it could have been developed further.

The voice acting is pleasant, and the music scores are decent. Both the opening and ending songs are okay but not particularly memorable.

Overall, it's a decent watch.

This series started out fantastic. It was entertaining and had tons of potential. I'm at the third season now and it have deformed into something horrible. Its the animated series equivalent to a Undead Rogue which is proud of itself when ganking lvl 30s in STW. Its sad, bad and even evil but thinks itself cool and edgy.

I would recommend it purely because its an interesting idea. The characters are bad though.
