I am a huge fan of Overlord, and season IV delivers exactly what I love about this show. The strategizing, the unwavering loyalty, the overpowered nature of Ainz. It's almost funny how we even focus on the efforts of other kingdoms considering how they're all ultimately futile. The anti-hero premise is something I find especially refreshing considering how every isekai follows the same wash, rinse, and repeat formula. Season IV kicks off by introducing how Ainz's new Sorcerer Kingdom will plan to reach world domination. The pieces will finally start moving in this season as the Ainz's name is introduced to the world. Despite the

And the best op music once again for a series goes to…. But in all seriousness. How does one not talk about Overlord. No matter if you hated it, or love it, and not talk about the usual great and badass OP and ED are. Once again in season four, they have truly smashed it, and it’s something that I really wanted to touch on first more than anything.
Art and sound: 9 I’m not sure about you, but am I the only one that’s noticed a tone shifted in the style? By that it looks slicker. More polished and clean. While still looking it’s usual best ... Sep 27, 2022
SASUGA AINZ-SAMA! For the 4th (and possibly the final) time.
It's been a long while since we've ever anticipated anything new about Overlord...well, ANYTHING besides the Isekai Quartet "spin-off" chibi series that for some reason, has progressed much faster in the 4-year gap since Season 3 came out. YES, you heard me right. Season 1 came out in Summer 2015, EXACTLY 7 years ago, and then Seasons 2 and 3 in quick succession in Winter and Summer 2018, which was a terrible mistake for Madhouse since it was basically crunch time that ultimately landed on subpar production values that are abysmal for Overlord standards. The Sorcerer ... Sep 27, 2022
Papa Bone Daddy is back ladies and gentlemen.
After 4 years, two seasons and a movie of Isekai Quartet and watching so many clips of the first three seasons, Overlord is indeed back. Now it goes without saying that I freaking love Overlord. I love how it constructs its world, it makes a story about overpowered characters enjoyable and is fleshed out by a large yet distinct cast of characters that are capable and have a purpose. It also is one of the best villain centric anime and makes them interesting and entertaining. Now sure, it ain’t perfect. Not every arc in the series hits ... Sep 27, 2022
Overlord's main issues are that it's unpleasant and boring.
There are no stakes because we know Ainz and his minions are insanely OP and are going to win every fight. Everything almost always goes according to plan, and if it doesn't it goes even better than expected for our villain protagonist. Speaking of our villain protagonist, let's talk about the characters. Most of the Nazarick crew are entirely flat and static when it comes to character development, especially when it comes the past 2 seasons. Ainz somehow does whatever the opposite of character development is, having less and less of a personality over time. After how decent ... Jul 24, 2022
The great return of the best isekai ever made after a long 4 year rest. It's been a long while of no Overlord and we all thought Madhouse had thrown in the towel but they are back with Season 4 and so is everyone else. Since 2018, we've been handed a lot of new shitter isekais that nobody asked for or wanted and now Overlord is back to reclaim his throne like Ains as the ruler of isekai.
Story: 8 The main flaw of isekai is that it boils its settings and interactions to just a single kingdom and then a single village off to the ... Oct 5, 2022
Since this season got 8/10, I felt like I'd give Overlord a go since I stopped watching season 1 due to nonsensical plot.
I was wrong. There is no redeeming value, simply the people who continued to watch season 4 are the people who enjoyed the first 3 seasons, so of course they would rate it high. Towards the end of season 4, I was really rooting for the antagonist to kill Ainz. Ainz is singlehandledly the most boring MC I ever had the mispleasure of watching, and the pain continued for 4 whole seasons. This is a power fantasy for people who enjoy beating single ...

So I was a big fan of Overlord when it came out and while the animation budget went all over the place from spectacular to half decent, the story still intrigued me.
But, something is starting to bother me more and more. The novelty of it has worn off and showed us the ugly side of the show. It is just boring and predictable. You don't feel any sense of achievement when Ainz takes over or does something 'incredible' by the standards of the 'in setting people'. More and more I'm starting to question, what's the point of any of this? Just steamroll across the world with the ... Apr 1, 2023
Complete waste of time. I really can't imagine how this season can claim to cover 3 whole volumes of the source light novel when all its content boils down to a showoff joke of a "war" and little else. I guess it just means the light novels are not any good either. There is only one noteworthy event in all of it, the so to say "origin story" of a potentially interesting character combo in the future, Princess Renner and her pet.
There are also a few other countries which the MC accidentally conquers as he stumbles around, but that feels just like a side ... Aug 9, 2022
What Overlord did well in the light novels was the world-building and showing the thought process of characters in the New World as they eventually discover how powerless they are in the face of Ainz and his forces of Nazarick.
The anime is not able to replicate the storytelling to the same level seen in the light novels, and with an invincible MC who will barely encounter any threat in the New World and just overpower most foes, the same theme gets repetitive really quickly. The biggest drawback to the plot is that there is zero character development in Ainz or any of the floor guardians, ... Sep 27, 2022
Very slight spoilers below.
If there was a World Item that would magically turn Summer 2022 into an actually good season, I would do anything to obtain it. I would set up a tent under the nearby bridge and never worry about the real estate market again if it meant I didn’t have to see people raving about a 35-year old grooming a 14-year old. I would create an OnlyFans and join the bottom 99.5% of small, unsuccessful accounts if it meant that uninitiated watchers didn’t look to an emotionless pseudo-intelligent high-schooler as a flawless role model. I would become the world’s most authentic Indian sword-swallower ... Sep 27, 2022
Fans and haters of Overlord all know that Ainz is probably one of the most overpowered isekai protagonists out there. In this season, that is no exception. This series follows a similar formula throughout its run, and that formula is “People underestimate Ainz, and then get slaughtered”. This time around, the characters are actually somewhat catching on that, yes, Ainz is nearly unbeatable, so maybe we should work with him instead. To me, I think that the change in formula made the series a bit boring, but there were also quite a few other issues that presented themselves in this season.
My grading criteria: Story: /25 ... Sep 27, 2022 Overlord’s fourth installment has finished airing and once again, it is mediocre at best. Similar to previous seasons, the formula it follows is nothing new, except this season introduced some interesting concepts coupled with decent execution that made this season stand out a bit above the rest, however it still pales in comparison to top tier isekai titles. Our beloved Ainz-sama is back again to show us his strength. As we have not gotten enough of it during the first 3 seasons, his overwhelming power needs to be shoved down the viewer’s throat every second, wasting just as much time as the unfunny comedy of the ...

Simply the best animer in existance other than redo of healer.
This is simply a 19/10, you cannot beat this other than redo of healer of course. I reccomend watching this if you like anime. I reccomened watching this if you don't like anime. Yes, it is that good and puts other Isekeis to shame, this is anime done right! Is the story unique? Yes Do you think the art style is fitting for the story? Yes Were the characters well-rounded? Yes Did they have flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid? Yes Did the ... Feb 15, 2024
The remarkable thing about the Overlord franchise is that it just gets better and better with every season, which is why, at this point, I am saying that you absolutely must watch this show, void of any and all reservations. Everything I said I liked about its previous seasons still holds true, but it comes with the added bonus of Ainz truly coming into his own as a villain in this latest installment.
I did not believe the franchise could top the dramatic ending of season 3, but it did, and then some. There was just such a sheer amount of “HOLY SHIT!” moments this time ... Sep 27, 2022
Bone Daddy and his goons are back, and they are twisted as ever. This season had a much slower-paced set of events, which was actually a nice change as we got to see the story conclusions of multiple characters. I also think that this season had easily the darkest tone out of all of them up to date, as we saw a ruthless side of Ainz that was teased, but not shown to this amount before. It's another solid season in the books for Overlord.
Art: 7 The art was good, it's nothing groundbreaking, but I'm willing to give that a pass since this season seemed ... Sep 27, 2022
Overlord is undoubtedly one of the best-built worlds, and has a great cast each with their own screentime all of which only make the world and story richer but many fail to realize that overlord as a whole is a story just about one often overlooked and trivial thing…..
It's the story of a guy who is just lonely. “Death was sitting on that throne”~Jircniv s3 "Each move he made had meaning-"~also Jircniv s3 But the actual Ainz is…… “They hurt a man I liked for 5 mins, torture them, and make sure their death is painful!”~ Ainz The way overlord carries comedy with it is how ainz is ...

Finally!
After a long hiatus, bone daddy is back in full swing with Overlord IV. I can't say enough good things about season 4 already. 1. The increased budget is fantastic and I especially like how they're hand animating more of the characters that would have fallen prey to CGI jail in the prior seasons. 2. The opening fuckin rocks. This is one of the few shows where the OP and ED literally don't miss. 3. The content that its adapting from the LN is arguably my favorite part of the series, and unlike some I'm not upset about volume 14 being adapted as I believe that it ... Sep 28, 2022
after watching the 12 ep , I gave a nice 3 ... it 's a nice notation because I really liked the 3 seasons.
BUT AFTER THE FINAL episode I changed for a 2 ... I dunno what happened to this anime, it completely changed in the very bad way... humour is gone, characters profils are ultra basic, the balance blabla /action became blabla only. it's now a very very bad anime. You have news characters coming from nowhere without any explain and next episode forgot them and move to any other arc in the season. ... Jul 31, 2022
RIP Overlord Series
what an absolute trash sequel, Albedo is reduced to her yandere side, she is nothing more than that now, Ainz is reduced to just saying "uh huh, good work" the intelligent planning by Ainz is reduced to "this sudden out of place plot twist was the plan from the very beginning" who the fuck thought changing Ainz's clothe was a good idea?!! this new outfit looks horrible Jircniv was pretty intelligent in part 3 but here he is just a screaming lunatic with "Ainz IS SO SMART AND I'M TOO STUPID" as his catchphrase the show can't separate comedy from seriousness and this makes it unwatchable FUCK ... |
