Synopsis

In the year 2138, virtual reality gaming is booming. Yggdrasil, a popular online game is quietly shut down one day. However, one player named Momonga decides to not log out. Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as "the most powerful wizard." The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
roytahrens Upon reading some of the negative criticisms I felt obligated to stand up for what is in my opinion a fun spin on a common plot line where a player gets stuck in a game he loves. Obviously, if your cinematic need is to empathize with the protagonist and aren't fond of games or gamers then this isn't an anime for you.Negatives: This anime does have some issues in that it is fast paced (not as bad as SAO) and constantly bolts passed some minor details as a result, but the overall story-line never seems to be impacted. The first two seasons seem to be more about building up the image of power of the main hero most likely setting him up for some brutal falls later on. This anime does also contain some light hentai references which in most instances adds some nice grit or cheap humor to the world but in other cases is completely unnecessary (fairly standard stuff for non-mainstream anime). One key detail I'd like to remind and reinforce in the viewers of this; is that his emotions/humanity is being influenced/moderated by an outside force, much like he is being played by a player. Which is the fun new perspective that this anime adds to the genre. (Not really a spoiler as it introduced in the first episode)
scientiiaa Overlord is a Japanese light novel series that was written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by so-bin. It began serialization online in 2010, before being acquired by Enterbrain. Twelve volumes have been published since July 30, 2012. A manga adaptation by Satoshi Oushio, with art by Hugin Miyama, began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's manga magazine Comp Ace from November 26, 2014. A 13-episode anime television series adaptation by Madhouse aired between July 7 and September 29, 2015. The second season ran from January 9 to April 3, 2018. A third season is planned for July 2018.Overlord is back. Now with 100% more lizard porn, a group of adamantine class adventurers, a band of highly-class bloodthirsty thieves controlling many people, and a yandere princess. For those who already know what Overlord is about, I must say that the new season has not changed at all. It again takes the series some episodes to start the whole thing: you will be shown, let us say, a filler that is not that entertaining to watch. More than that, it is so bad that it might make you want to drop the second season. Fear not, if you do hate the filler, just skip it. All the fun starts afterward.Overlord did become much better because of its story-line and characters. Ainz Ooal Gown yet again continues his quest on becoming top class adamantine adventurer to collect enough information for Nazarick. Many things are still unexplained, but the second season also answers many questions that have not been answered in the first season. Character wise, many new characters have been introduced starting from the Nazarck servants and ending with many anti-heroes that have their interesting backgrounds for you to find out about. But this is, of course, not the best part about characters. What you will surely appreciate is the fact that many Nazarick's servants receive a ton of development. Indeed, I am not going to go into details, but I will say only one thing--you will love it. All in all, Overlord is still one of the most epic series about MMORPG games. The second season offers you a more detailed look at Nazarick's servants and the enemies Ainz will have to face. I would highly recommend you start watching the anime right from the 6th episode; otherwise your opinion on Overlord might change because of it.
aaronjamesmaximus This show is utterly sophomoric or moronic for the layman the plot is ripped from Hack and sword art online but done even more terribly and with an even more inconsistent plot. I just don't think people should ever make shows about mmos they all turn out to be really stupid and the plot makes no sense the main character is usually a Mary Sue who can do anything. In this case he's a so called "evil" Mary Sue but does not act in the least bit evil he doesn't punish his incompetent henchman and is a weird pervert but for some reason he thought to be this evil lord of the dead type character and he's just a basement dweller who got his character fully leveled up and doesn't want to give up his pathetic fantasy. He's also a terrible strategist using mostly brute force to get his way, I mean he is not smart and when he faces an opponent of equal power he is beaten because of his gross incompetence.
shamushkhufu 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 :)
