I kinda wish that game had more similarities with this anime. I tried overlord because the concept sounded good to me and what I got was a really janky game with awful controls.

The reason you shouldn't talk about the LN is because it has spoilers for the anime, you assholes. Go start your own thread if you want to talk about it and quit being difficult.

I like this show, I was really just expecting some overly dark MMO-ish show about someone just being evil to do so but I am really surprised at how they handled this.

If this gets a dub skeletor's VA must do Mr. Bones's character

LN differences:

The only thing I can remember being different is that the human trash mobs had catapults or some type of siege weapon, and it was like some giant ball of rock that Albedo sent flying back at the enemy, not some dinky spell.

I was wrong. We're actually watching a fantasy-themed Crusader Kings anime.

SkeleDad's just trying to keep the family together and be an alright ruler, while his kids go and conquer the world because they think that's what he wants.

Ok, so some important concepts in this episode covered in the light novel version but not here:
Relevant quote:

“Activate 『Extreme Holy Strike』!”
A tier of spells that humans could not reach, this was the rank seven spell. Even in the Theocracy large scale rituals could not cast it, but for the highest level Angel, the Dominion of Authority, he alone could cast it, that was the reason they called him the highest level Angel.
The spell that Nigan has ordered to be casted was the rank seven magic 『Extreme Holy Strike』, which was considered to be the ultimate spell.

“I know, I know. Cast it quickly, I won’t do anything. Are you satisfied?”
But Ainz still looked as calm as a pedestrian crossing the road.
This attitude made Nigan feel fear.
This was the highest level Angel that defeated the legendary Demon God. Possessing ultimate strength, this Angel was the strongest existence in the entire continent, and was impossible to defeat.

another quote:
Within Nigan’s knowledge, there were only a few beings able to be on par with the highest level angel’s power.
The six gods that Nigen had placed his faith in.
The strongest of all the dragon race the——Dragon King.

The Legendary monster that was capable of destroying cities——Landfall.
And also——Demon god.
Even hearing that the Demon gods were all sealed by the thirteen heroes. From the look of the pulses of evil from before, that should have been able to release the seals on the Demon god.

Ainz was so apprehensive about the angel because he thought it would be something of a much higher tier, not something that has its strongest attack as a level 7 spell.
He was worried about Seraphim-tier angels appearing.

That item shattering was actually the Dominion using its special skill to enhance the first spell it casts upon being summoned

Ainz has a skill where attacks from creatures level 59 or below cannot hurt him, so the summoned angels did nothing, but the Dominion managed to damage him.

The angel with the mace that was in the back lines for the whole battle was there for a reason: It is a Principality of observation, and it has the passive ability to enhance the defenses of all allies... as long as it stays perfectly still.

In the Manga Albedo doesn't get to shield Ainz and kill that dude who threw an arrow at him, good to add that on the anime.

In the novel it's not an arrow, it's a giant stone from a catapult. So she ends up getting a lot more wtf stares from the "trash mobs". Or at least I remember something about catapults.

edit:
I'm guessing they left that out cause it would be too much money to animate the catapults.

...no? In my book it says sling, and it's some small metallic projectile. Can't find anything about catapults or stones.

I'm gonna go re-read that part then. I'm probably mixing it up with some other novel I'm currently reading.

edit:
Ah you're right it was only some small iron ball. The name of the skill she used made me think it was a lot bigger. Also iron ball made me think cannon ball.


Albedo, with speed that was nearly impossible to see, raised the long axe held in her hand. Drawing a beautiful faded green trail in the air.
Following that, the men carrying the iron ball fell to the ground.
“... What?”
No one knew what had happened before their eyes. They should be the ones attacking, but they as the attackers are getting beaten down.
One of the men began running to check on his comrades and finding them dead, he shouted:
“Hi-, his head was smashed by the iron ball!”
“... What? The iron ball… wasn’t that the iron ball that was just flying there!?”
Why were they being killed by the iron ball that they just launched?
At this point, the wind carried a voice into Nigan’s ear.
“Terribly sorry, it looks like my subordinate had used the two spells, Anti-missile Shield and Reflect Missile to send it back. It seems that you have casted barriers that resist projectiles, but an attack that is stronger than the defenses will still break through right? No need to be so surprised.

Also those small angels are only from a level 3 spell. So of course they are really super wimpy.

“If you understand, there’s a question I want to ask. The Angels you summoned, you must have used the Level 3 spell [Summon Angel], am I right?”

Er, I think the mistranslation was just confusing you. There's just the one guy slinging a projectile, not many. Makes it seem like it'd have to be a larger missile. Always take light novel fan translations with a grain of salt. Overlord is being done JP -> CN -> EN, if I recall correctly.

If I remember correctly all of the floor guardians minus the dark elf twins, are Heteromorphic races, meaning that they have either multiple forms, or a true form. So they are quite literally multi stage boss monsters. The Japanese seem to really love those types of boss monsters, in their RPG's. This is established in the first couple chapters.

Here is a quote from the LN regarding the current episode.

[spoilered for bad translation]
“You lower lifeforms! T-, to dare to do this kind of thing to our most beloved ruler Ainz-sama! To make my favorite and most loved person feel pain, is to not know your own abilities! I absolutely will not forgive you, I will let you taste the most amount of pain you have ever felt until you go mad! Using acid to corrode your four limbs, then cut off your genitals, make them into mincemeat and make you eat them! After that use healing spells to cure you! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! drat! drat drat drat drat, my heart is about to explode!”
The black armor was moving its hands nonstop.
It felt as if the world was distorting with this place as the epicentre, a dizzying sinister aura blew towards them like a storm. Something was squirming under the black full body armor, as if a huge body was about to burst out. Nigan was aware of this, but he could only stand there dumbly, watching the monster that would devour the world break out of its cocoon. There was only one person who can stop Albedo in this world now.



Remember in the second episode we saw that one guy with the tail transform into a lizard like thing and sprout wings, that is part of his secondary form.

Oh god, please to stop quoting that. The translation errors are giving me a headache.

Anyway, since this episode pretty much ends vol 1, I guess 12 episodes would see us through volumes 1-3? Unless they pick up the pace now and do 4 volumes in 13 episodes, considering the OP has vol 4 scenes.

With 9 volumes already out, there should be ample material to give us a second season soon, at least. From what I've seen of 2ch, the Japanese audience seems to like it as well.
