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.
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 :)
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.
