The 2nd season of “trapped in an MMORPG in real life” anime Overlord has debuted, reuniting viewers with Albedo’s lovely-dovey obsession with the skeletal protagonist and causing some to hope that the continuation won’t have a snail’s pace like last season…
Omake:
Always found this show a tedious and mediocre display for viewers too young to know anything of quality that came before.
Really, just empty fan-service of varying types. But I guess the point is you can shut off your brain and just enjoy.
Someone spoil me, what is so great about this lizardmen nonsense. They just gonna get steamrolled like everyone in Season 1 that are not part of his group? They join his side? Not that it’s a problem when they roll everyone.
It’s in season 1 that the rest of the upper echelon of Nazarick misinterpreted the MC’s words and assume he wants total world domination. Lizardmen were used in making one of the generals actually learn of warfare and how simple tactics of overwhelming the enemy with numbers does not work most of the time. It’s integral for him to learn that seeing as he’s a dungeon boss, not a field general.
Also the added man power that is capable of tactical formation makes of a good barrier as to avoid Shalltear’s incident where she fell at the hands of a relic. It’s very costly to bring one like her back so adding more capable hands to screen the threat is necessary.
FINALLY!
Love the show, but is this gonna be 12 episodes dedicated to only the events of lizardmen ? Plz somebody enlighten me.
I suspect the lizardman arc will finish in just 6 eps and then they will move on to the kingdom arc, covering the kingdom arc in 6 eps would be challenging though so I hope it’s longer.
6 Episodes on the lizards would be stupid I boubt it’s more than 4.The Kingdom arc is two volumes long and the lizards just one.
“just one”. But yeah that might also be the case. Still I think it’s really pushing it to shave it down to 3 more eps.. could be 4 more tho but they’re gonna have to skip a shitload of content. But there’s A LOT of skippable content in the kingdom arc. For example most of Tsuare’s s♥♥t can be almost entirely skipped and probably will be, Renner needs a bit of time but her boytoy doesn’t need as much as he’s given in the books, Most of unglaus’s s♥♥t can be skipped over as well. If they can cover all these volumes in just 12 or 13 eps I want to see them make 24 eps and cover the next 2 volumes after it as well, that would be glorious.
Not sure how people can say the first season moved at a snail pace when it actually moved so fast that they ended up cutting out stuff that was necessary to have a fucking clue what was going on in season two. Like who the f♥♥k the penguin guy is, or who the princess and her soldier boy are, or who the f♥♥k the dragons are. Now they have to cram all that s♥♥t they cut out of season one due to the breakneck pace into the FIRST episode of season two, meaning even less time to actually handle events of season two. I’d be fucking shocked if they completed the lizardman story by episode four, unless they truncate the s♥♥t out of it like they did to Brain’s fight with Shalltear. f♥♥k me, that’s another example, they took a two chapter fight and turned it into about three minutes and made him look like a dumb pussy bitch when he’s supposed to be on par with the best fighter in the fucking kingdom.
Uhm… They didn’t cut that out from the first season tho, renner and her boy toy weren’t explained till after the lizardman thingy in the men in the kingdom volume. I think the first season’s pacing was quite excellent. But I hope we will get 24 episodes that cover the next 3 or 4 books instead of just 12.
Dunno about penguin, they had the same shot in the manga, though they did explain the princess in the current manga run which is full of hiatus, I suppose we should refer to the LN for complete details…
