Ainz: Oh hey, I jumped to a bad conclusion... Underling: SO WE COULD FIGURE IT OUT OURSELVES RIGHT O SUPREME ONE Ainz: uh, no, I really did make an error... Underling: AN ERROR IN OVERESTIMATING OUR STRATEGIC SKILLS, HEMCE THE REASON FOR THE SUBTERFUGE SO WE COULD LEARN FROM YOUR GREATNESS! Ainz: Look, ai might cock things up one day so WHEN IT HAPPENS, I need you to tell me Underling: TO TELL YOU THAT WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF YOUR INSIGHT AND PLANNING AND TO HAVE FAITH IN YOU O GLORIOUS Ainz: Jesus gently caress guys c'mon.

Yeah I knew this would happen eventually, the crew is just too wrapped up in their hero worship to admit Ainz is anything other than a strategic mega genius. Thankfully for Ainz this was a minor snafu and Shaltear (who is second most dangerous when let off her leash and could kill Ainz if he was unprepared) obeys him unquestionably.

Ainz did it in an afternoon"

caught up with call of the night and i still think it's great. i was pretty content with the main characters being doofuses in cool night time backgrounds, but body horror monogatari fight scenes and mysterious dumbass vampire councils are pretty cool too

I think Call of the Night caught me off guard the most. I am thoroughly enjoying stupid vampires in the beautiful city nightscapes they have created.

I mean look what Ainz did to the dragons. Ancient powerful and feared beings with steely scales and breath weapons and he crushed their leader with a single spell.

I mean look what Ainz did to the dragons. Ancient powerful and feared beings with steely scales and breath weapons and he crushed their leader with a single spell. I thought it also was an interesting contrast in Ainz with the dragons and Shalltear with the quagoa. Ainz rocked up to the nerd dragon looking extremely scary and was a fraction of a second from killing him before the dragon started desperately dogeza-ing and begging to serve him. Winds up with just two dragons dead who didn't get with the program. Shalltear very casually approaches the quagoa and lays down her surrender demand, which they take as completely absurd and attack her, which results in 50,000 of them dead and the survivors in a shell-shocked fugue of, "Why didn't she show us she was that powerful first? We'd have totally loving surrendered!" A lot of it is simply luck, but Ainz really does get better results than the NPCs when he's personally involved. And he actually wanted to kill the dragons for spell components, like a true D&D wizard.

It's also a function of pitting the Virgin NEET Dragon vs The Chad Lich Ainz. Probably would have gone a little differently with King Goldhoard there making first contact

If Harem Leader Dragon had been the first contact at a minimum he and his four. (three?) brides would have died. There's a good chance the more arrogant dragons would have teamed up and Ainz would have had to kill all the dragons. He'd probably have been silently pleased by that, but owning a nation of dragons is better than 20ish dragon corpses. Besides, if they don't pan out he can always kill them latter, they've already demonstrated they're no match for the sorcerous might of Ainz Ol Gown.

What an... Odd choice, bringing in the Gridman boys in particular. I guess they might try to do something with Yuta as a character since I guess we'll finally meet the actual Yuta here?

It's consistently funny to me that the protagonists of that show are supposed to be bookish nerds, but because of product placement they're only reading LNs.

https://twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/1563179430155272194?t=4y617Q3SPW7e9pBIUbhsUg&s=19 Crossposting from the chat thread but this movie still kinda fits the bill. If you didn't catch it in theaters, Sing a Bit of Harmony is streaming (sub and dub) on crunchyroll. The English Dub is the 2nd episode. Srice posted:It's pretty solid. It's a good example of the kind of anime movie that could have easily stretched its premise out to fit a full tv series but fortunately they did not so it's a nice, lean watch.

I guess they might try to do something with Yuta as a character since I guess we'll finally meet the actual Yuta here? I mean, if you're crossing over Dynazenon and Gridman, then you want to have the Gridman Alliance. Further, showing the dynamic between Yuta, Rikka, and Sho when Yuta is awake is one of the basic potential hooks for a Gridman sequel. (Especially since one of the ending reveals in Gridman was that Yuta's feelings for Rikka were part of how Gridman was able to stand up to Akane, unlike everyone else in the world.)
