Overlord Ep 1, 2, and 3
Added 2025-01-02 16:00:06 +0000 UTCI decided to do a trial and apply the rule of 3 right outta the gate.
Ep 1 - 0:00
Ep 2 - 30:02
Ep 3 - 53:48
When I recorded this Overlord was strongly in 2nd place but WHO KNOWS
We might have a Castlevania 2nd place LMAO.
I imagine you are curious if I liked this. Short answer, yes.
LOL gotta watch the video! 👀

It's cool to watch anime in the US? I wish it was like that in Norway too, if you even say you watch something like that you'd become an outcast.

2025-01-11 20:19:06 +0000 UTCMost people say overlord is good for its world building but its world building has so much breadth with very little depth (at least as far as an anime only can gather). In other words, it often doesn't explore its own world building enough to make it memorable. Plus its adaptation leaves a lot to be desired. It's just kind of "eh." Personally, of the two, I'd say go for bebop.

2025-01-06 19:21:48 +0000 UTCI don't know how you can speak of objectively when the fourth season was as hype if not more than season 1. The ending was definitely stronger imo. Seasons 2 and 3? Sure I agree on those. But I think its clearly subjective whether it doesnt get as hype as season 1.

2025-01-05 22:16:09 +0000 UTCMost isekai's are based on light novel lol. You can tell by the bland camera angles they choose to use and lower quality character poses while the dialog is snappier. Overlord.... borderline should be in the cringe tier. It gets under my skin how creepy it can get. Some people do love Overlord though. Idk if you will be one of them but I hope you do.

2025-01-05 21:25:22 +0000 UTCalso the reason i was sus on the comment is mega toxic fans have entered tony's chat, and one of the biggest things in the anime community is manga and light novel readers coming in and being like "just read the LN/manga, i SWEAR its great!" it was no shade at you
Red Menace
2025-01-03 18:16:59 +0000 UTCoh for sure, there are MOMENTS that have the same hype, i meant OVERALL, ie the season as a WHOLE, and to be clear, not as hype DOES NOT equal bad, i just think the overlord anime suffers from a ridiculously strong opening being fantastic and then settles into good to great, i wouldn't spend time and money on it otherwise lol

2025-01-03 15:23:54 +0000 UTCWasn't he a pretty big fan of the second ending Hydra by Myth & Roid when he reacted to it. But yeah it didn't have so much "autotune/effects" on the voice and was pretty different compared to many Myth & Roid songs.

2025-01-03 15:19:25 +0000 UTCOh yea the show gets mad stupid lol but that's just how thos kinda show is, if you take it top seriously you should watch something else. It's like solo leveling

2025-01-03 11:28:37 +0000 UTCNever gets to the hype of the first season? The movie, season 2 and 3 at least all have scenes that get to that hype level imo
BlakStatik23
2025-01-03 06:53:36 +0000 UTCYeah it's a shame the OP song has autotune, the vocalist actually has a good voice he posted a video of himself singing this exact song with his real voice while playing an acoustic guitar on yt and it was cool

2025-01-03 06:10:39 +0000 UTCWow what a nice surprise, overlord is great, all hail ainz sama
kinetic98
2025-01-03 05:59:06 +0000 UTCThis is about what I expected, there'll be small things where we get the classic Tony "oooook" but what the main character is and how he handles situations is "D&D character roleplaying" versus "teen trying to win a girl's affection" I enjoy both shows but that shouldn't stop me from being able to acknowledge when our tastes, or our thresholds to bare certain aspects of shows, differ.

2025-01-03 05:53:36 +0000 UTCdidn't know the anime was ahead of the manga, im more of an anime only watcher lol
Red Menace
2025-01-03 05:00:41 +0000 UTCsame, its why im 50/50 on the long term, it has a solid first 3 episode and a good first season, but as someone else who is a big fan, i can honestly say that the 3 follow up seasons never quite recapture the first. also never knew tony was a big gaming/dnd nerd, so that does weigh in its favor
Red Menace
2025-01-03 04:43:46 +0000 UTCwhile there are some commentors that are negative, most of us are saying it due to a not full understanding of tony's taste, as he said in a previous video new anime fan or not he likes what he likes. Also being objective it never gets to the same hype as the first season, in a vacuum or not. not bad per say, and this is from someone who has seen all 4 seasons and paid money to see the movie in theaters.
Red Menace
2025-01-03 04:41:05 +0000 UTCI still am 50/50 on whether tony will like this long term, there are certain characters that get introduced that may or may not sway him. As far as i am understanding tony does not like whiny/childish characters, and seems to prefer seinen over shounen. Oh and you had said you didn't know the difference in a previous video, Shounen=young boy(content aimed at young adult and younger), Seinen=old man(content aimed at adults). sorry for the rough translation. However just like all other mediums there are stuff made for the whole family, and there are more "mature" shounen. I would bet money that beebop is going to win the comparison for tony, but i never knew about the gaming past, that is about the only thing i think that would make me say tony could enjoy this long term.

2025-01-03 03:38:19 +0000 UTCI haven't watched these episodes in years. Now I understand the mask thing. He said the mask he's wearing is called the Mask of Jealousy, and anyone could get it by logging in for a certain amount of time on Christmas Eve. Christmas is a holiday for couples in Japan, so the idea is that anyone without a significant other to spend Christmas with could log in and get this free item that disses them with a name implying they're jealous of the couples spending Christmas together 😂
Alberto Munoz
2025-01-03 03:18:45 +0000 UTChonestly opening 1 and ending 1 of Overlord are the worst of the op/ed's of overlord. I am sure he will enjoy the next openings and endings much better.
Ainz Ooal Gown
2025-01-03 03:13:48 +0000 UTCTony assumed this was a manga lol. Was just letting him know Overlord's source is a Light Novel. There IS a manga, but its behind even the anime
Ainz Ooal Gown
2025-01-03 03:12:03 +0000 UTCyou do realize most manga are based on a LN or webnovel, they get the mangafication(?) greenlight due to being an established well read(well SOLD) IP

Anthony Cano
2025-01-03 01:43:34 +0000 UTCI love overlord a lot. This is way nerdier
Brendan Coen
2025-01-03 01:35:57 +0000 UTCI think it will depend on how much his love of D&D and worldbuilding, etc... will overcome some of the more "anime" elements of the show that pop up. Kind of like with Demon Slayer, he was having a rough time with Zenitsu and Inosuke yelling a lot but eventually the other elements of the show won out for him and he's having a great time with it. Unlike Re:Zero the gaming/D&D elements persist mostly throughout Overlord entirely so that might be enough on its own for him to keep enjoying it. Also, despite its goofy moments I feel like Overlord does have a more serious tone overall and less campy antics (though some are still present) than FMAB and Re:Zero. Also, lets not forget that Tony loves Konosuba so he does enjoy some of the goofy stuff too. Overlord has the potential for Tony to really like it but also has the potential to wear off after a while too. This one is a real "wait and see" how he's going to like it in the long run. And I feel like Tony is going to be saying "alignment check" a lot in this anime haha. Which I am looking forward to. I agree on Castlevania though. I can't see him not liking that. Its actually what I voted for and I am a big fan of Overlord lol.
CdrCain
2025-01-03 01:01:27 +0000 UTCI think a lot of the negativity about overlord in general comes from fatigue since so many schlocky power fantasy light novel isekai shows come out nowadays, ehich is fair. BUT, Tony is a new anime fan, so he doesnt share that fatigue, and when Overlord first dropped everyone can agree it was pretty damn cool.
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-03 00:56:06 +0000 UTCWhat? Most anime begin as a manga
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-03 00:44:38 +0000 UTCFirst off, as another Neverwinter Nights gamer I know exactly what you mean! Some of the best gaming I've ever had honestly, the custom servers were incredible and I could also talk for hours about all the stuff I did in game too. I'd happily listen to all your stories about it because its just so hard to explain how good it was to people who didn't play it back then. I actually even did some building/scripting for the server I was on. Good times. Secondly, glad you are liking Overlord so far. It def has a lot of elements you are going to like (video game and D&D similarities for example) but I am worried how long that will carry the show for you. I like Overlord a lot but it does have several elements you have expressed you disliked in both FMAB and Re:Zero. Of the shows on the poll, this one is probably the most "risky" if its going to be your type of show in the long run (in my opinion anyways). Still happily enjoying these reactions though and guess we'll just have to see!
CdrCain
2025-01-02 23:42:29 +0000 UTC???? i dont get the point of the comment lol, pretty much all anime began as either a light novel or web novel
Red Menace
2025-01-02 23:36:19 +0000 UTCin the reaction he says he loves it, but i also wonder about longevity.

TheGoblerTrainsMovinIn
2025-01-02 23:30:36 +0000 UTCDon't wanna be the doomsayer, but i honestly doubt Tony will enjoy this show that much. Can of course be wrong about it and i still hope he enjoys it. Won't be watching the reactions, because i honestly find this anime is simply lackluster. This is obviously subjective. I know many love Overlord. Castlevania on the other hand, i am 100% sure he would like a lot.

2025-01-02 21:29:20 +0000 UTCits a Light Novel btw
Ainz Ooal Gown
2025-01-02 20:53:31 +0000 UTCif you like this then you might like log horizon, whereas this has a more comedy, over the top bent, log horizon is about a whole bunch of irl people in the modern day getting sucked into a mmo at update(think like WOW) and trying to genuinely create a government/society etc. but it isn't as big a comedy, it is more serious, and the animation isn't as nice, also aside from the first op the music isn't super memorable, lol i know im selling it super hard but it is more of a world building and character focus type show. something to consider for the next poll.

2025-01-02 20:11:41 +0000 UTCso, in the english dub they say demiurge as (demi-urge) but some of the sounds in that dont really work in japanese
Red Menace
2025-01-02 19:56:15 +0000 UTClol, that's what i thought, but i know everyone has different levels of what they consider spoiler and not, and i hate, HATE, people who spoil shit, its just from his videos doesn't seem like tony would, or would have the time, to read all the light novels, the character backstories and such, and he mentioned it in the anime.
Red Menace
2025-01-02 19:49:00 +0000 UTCBtw, in Japanese when they write or say "Bitch" what they actually mean is "Slut". For some reason they twisted it so that bitch means a slutty promiscuous woman and does not have the same meaning as the English use of the word. "Gap moe" is a word and concept that will come up a lot even if the subtitles don't show those words.
Auks
2025-01-02 19:47:15 +0000 UTCNot really, so I feel like its fair to point it out right away. From what I remember I got the most info on it from the books where you had some character info pages dedicated to past guild members and their lives where its more in depth about the real life world of Overlord. There is some lines of dialogue that hints at it in the anime, but if you are not clued into it, those lines make little sense.
Auks
2025-01-02 19:40:09 +0000 UTCWell hey glad you’re enjoying it 🙏
SimplySora
2025-01-02 19:39:45 +0000 UTCI just started watching, and in the first 10 minutes you reveal your hardcore past with Neverwinter Nights. I had no idea and im happy you turned out to be the actual target audience of this show. You can see how this would resonate a lot less with people who have never played a sandbox style MMO or a roleplaying table top game like DnD before.
Auks
2025-01-02 19:36:19 +0000 UTCI'll admit I was skeptical about this show being on the vote but I am glad to see you ended up enjoying it so far. While I do still hope to see Castlevania on here eventually, I will also gladly enjoy an Overlord rewatch as long as you're actually rocking with the show.
peeps
2025-01-02 19:31:19 +0000 UTCnot yet as of the movie and the seasons, its not the main focus of the story. it was in a spinoff story the creator did because alot of fans wanted to know the main characters backstory before the "world of overlord" the only allusion to it we get is when he says that the bed sheet smells good and this must be how rich people lived as only the rich could afford things like that. and according to anime news sources online its not likely to ever be adapted as it wasn't as popular as the main story, just something for the fans. edit: the light novel(aka book) started in july 2012, the 16th vol came out in 2022, and in the 2nd afterword said the story would end with the 18th vol, so the source material is almost finished for overlord, there has so far been 4; 13 episode season's, 2 recap movies, and 1 cannon plot movie. 2nd edit: this really isn't a spoiler but if you consider something like this a spoiler i apologize and will delete if you want. this info is never in the anime, and is not in the slightest important to the story.
Red Menace
2025-01-02 19:29:19 +0000 UTCNice
WithoutName 98
2025-01-02 19:24:03 +0000 UTCFinished the reaction, looks like you'll definitely like this based on the 3 episode rules, the anime continues this vibe. I still think there's a chance you might like the other one more, and if that happens, i think you should veto the next anime you need to replace and just put Overlord
SKAOG
2025-01-02 19:23:44 +0000 UTCDo we get that info in the anime??
DrumRollTony
2025-01-02 19:19:44 +0000 UTCya basically(and this isn't a spoiler) its basically a dark gritty cyberpunk esq 2126, skys black due to pollution, real food only for the rich, and hes in a chair that basically matrix links up to his mind and takes care of his bodily functions whenever he works or plays, super cool spin off story.
Red Menace
2025-01-02 19:16:01 +0000 UTCAnd basically, Momonga has taken the guild's name Ains Ooal Gown as his own (the AOG and SKAOG (revealed later in the anime) in my username comes from Overlord when i thought of making a new username, though the SK also stands for Saiki Kusuo, another anime)
SKAOG
2025-01-02 19:14:29 +0000 UTC51:50 yeah it is the same VA as for Dio/Zeke

2025-01-02 19:02:42 +0000 UTCgod, i knew by the intro i was in for a ride, you can immediately see the difference between this and re:zero, tony having a time lol, also im so used to the english dub that i realize ive never heard the japanese.

Red Menace
2025-01-02 18:56:46 +0000 UTC28:56 and so far from watching, it seems that you think that there's 4 left, but my interpretation is that 37 quit out 41 quit, and the 3 apart from him didn't even bother to come to the server shutdown even though they haven't exited the guild (i.e. no one joined Momonga is what believe the anime wants to convey to it's viewers, or at least that it t's guarantee). (unless i've misinterpreted you, and you also think that 40 of them are gone) Now, i don't know the details of whether any player from the guild is actually in the game or not.
SKAOG
2025-01-02 18:44:07 +0000 UTCThe horny factor is mainly only a constant with Albedo bc she’s actually obsessed with Ainz lmao but even then it’s in short spurts, and nah the twins never really take a leading role so far at least, so you’ll be good on that end. Aura is pretty good, Mare is just shy but gets high on praise lol Next episode, whenever it comes, we get some nice badassery. I do enjoy that only 3 episodes in you know this is nothing like Re:Zero which is exactly what I was thinking when I saw those comments the premise leads to so much and I love how it drags these gaming stories out of you too. DrumrollTony, more like…Marketplace Manager Tony (laugh at my joke now)

2025-01-02 18:19:26 +0000 UTCI still do the three episode rule after almost 10 years of watching anime. If it is slightly entertaining I will try to finish it but if the animation or story sucks I drop it. The worst anime ever imo was Glasslip which had beautiful animation but was so boring. I don't remember what it was about.

kail santini
2025-01-02 17:18:11 +0000 UTCthe creator of Overlord is a MASSIVE D&D fan. If I remember right, the show was mostly inspired by his feelings when a campaign with his friends had to stop so he couldn't play with them anymore. I think it's mostly based on 3.5

2025-01-02 17:07:12 +0000 UTCThe writer of this LN-turned-anime played alot of D&D and used it as inspiration. While I love the anime, my main issue is that it leaves out alot of info from the light novel and could be confusing at times.
