Not sure what is going on with the names in this episode though, in the manga, that any-item user was simply called Enfrea, not Nphirea or whatever.

The name is originally ンフィーレア・バレアレ which in straight transliteration is Nfiirea Bareare, and then it's all left up to the translator's imagination! You can't really ask the author either, because Japanese people go nuts with names. As an example, a human character later is called ブレイン (burein), which the book has transliterated as "Brain" in the character sheet, whereas a sane person might think of something like "Blaine" instead.

This episode was quite kawaii in places. Overlord Abridged with a Skeletor voice will soon become a necessity.

The writer is notoriously bad at english apparently. I've heard the WN was originally called overload or something like that.

In papa bones daddy has to take his kid out to find a job, facing prejudice from the natives and being illiterate in the new country's language stands in the way of making ends meet.

Overlord is actually a clever commentary on the discrimination that honest, hardworking skeletons face in their daily lives.

There is a scene in the light novel not shown in the anime: "I will scout the surroundings, remain on standby here." "Allow me to escort you!" "No need, I am just looking around the near vicinity. If possible, I want to visit the rumored vast cemetery... I’m leaving you here to prevent others from trespassing. Don't let down your guard and stay alert. We shouldn't have made any mistakes, but this is enemy territory, so be vigilant." "By your command." "I will leave the periodic report to you." Narberal let out a deep sigh after Ainz left the room. She then massaged the corner of her eyes, her sharp eyes drooping down weakly, she looked exhausted. Even her pony tail looked flaccid and lifeless. But she still remembered the orders of her esteemed master. Narberal concentrated intensely, trying to learn more about the situation outside, but as a Magic Caster she lacked the craftiness of thieves. To make up for it, she used one of the skills she was proficient in. "「Rabbit Ears」." With the activation of the spell, a pair of cute rabbit ears sprouted from the top of Narberal's head. The ears trembled as they listened to the sounds around her. This was one of the three rabbit spells, which were dubbed ‘rabbit magic’ by YGGDRASIL players. The others spells were called 「Rabbit’s Foot」, which increased the luck stat, and 「Rabbit Tail」, which slightly decreased enemy aggression towards the caster. The appearance of female characters would change if all three were activated at the same time, making this magic very popular. But since there was no need for the other two spells, Narberal didn't use them. Most of Narberal's magic belonged to the combat variation, but this was one of the few exceptions. After listening to her surroundings and making sure it was safe, she activated the 「Message」 spell. Immediately, a sweet, female voice could be heard in Narberal's head. It was as if her call had been expected. "Narberal Gamma, you have something to report to me?" "Yes, it's the periodic report." Right now, Narberal was talking to the Overseer of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Albedo. After reporting everything, Narberal finally talked about things the other party wanted to hear. "Ainz-sama mentioned Albedo-sama, saying that 'other than her, there was no one else he trusted this much'." "Fuhu───!" A weird scream of excitement ringed in Narberal's mind. "Very good~ very good~ Narberal is a good girl! Carry on advertising for me like this! This is an order from the Nazarick's overseer!" Question marks appeared on top of Narberal's head, who thought ''Is something like this worth issuing an order?''. Thinking about it calmly, this was a contest that would determine who would serve the Overlord. That way, an order like this was completely natural. While Narberal was pondering this, Albedo’s excited voice could be heard again: "With Shalltear out on a mission, I will use this chance to leisurely bridge the distance between me and Ainz-sama! It might be a difficult fort to conquer, but by attacking in waves it will eventually fall after taking a beachhead! When that glorious day comes, Shalltear will shed tears of regret!" Albedo's gleeful shouting made Narberal frown. Even Narberal was getting annoyed listening to such agitated noises. With a cheerful voice and skipping steps, Albedo droned on about what she planned to do next time and how things should be. She suddenly asked calmly: "Why are all of you helping me? What is the reason you chose me over Shalltear? Is there something you want?" "This is a simple question. If you ask me who is more suited to be seated next to Ainz-sama, Shalltear-sama or Albedo-sama, I will definitely answer Albedo-sama." "Fuhu───! Fantastic. I didn't expect you to be someone who thinks about the future of Nazarick, impressive." "And Yuri-nee is not good in dealing with Shalltear-sama." "Oh, Yuri Alpha. I see... that’s true. Are the others on my team too?" Not just vice-captain Yuri Alpha, the rest of her comrades popped into Narberal's mind as well: "That’s uncertain. Lupus Raytina is on Albedo-sama's team, but Solution is on Shalltear's side. Insect Queen and Shizu are unknown, probably sitting on the fence." "Is there any way to recruit Solution?" "That would be very difficult, since her interests are similar to Shalltear-sama’s." "Oh I see... What a low class hobby." Narberal agreed with Albedo, unable to understand Solution Epsilon's interests and tilted her head. Except for one man, all humans were lowly scum, but she didn't take joy in bullying them. But she would kill them if they got in her way, and would go out of her way to finish the job. But she wouldn't kill humans intentionally. "There's no choice. Let's hurry and pull the other girls into my camp. First will be Insect Queen and Shizu." That shouldn't be a problem. Solution and Insect Queen like to treat humans as food. If we get Insect Queen to join Albedo-sama's side, Solution might become our ally as well." "You are right.... I get it. Let's change the topic... What else did my beloved Ainz-sama do, can you tell me in detail?" "Yes, as you bid." The periodic contact with Albedo was very lively —— when Albedo learned that Ainz and Narberal were sleeping in the same room, she let out a weird, noisy scream —— it deteriorated to the extent that they had to recast the [Message] spell four times. It irritated Ainz when he came back, but that was another story.

From what I could tell, it gives you superpowers and saps your free will, which would make you pretty useful as an attack dog. I liked this episode, it's low key world building. Ains is just some random nerd out of his depth. He has a good hand, but he also has no clue about the state of the game. His response to his situation is admirable, he's trying his best to hide his pot and hold his cards close and feel out the situation. It's interesting because it's not perfect. For instance, he fucks up by being browbeaten into giving away that potion, thereby drawing unwanted attention, and giving a route for the world to bite his rear end. The adventuring party is depicted with wide eyes and honest faces, but even then I don't fully trust those guys.

It permanently drained the person's wisdom, but also boosted their wisdom a bunch more, so by removing it, they basically became insane lunatics. Those who wore it had to be fairly wise before and then became slightly worse for wear, in tradeoff for marvelous benefits while wearing it. Essentially a person was sacrificed to become a magical battery.

They don't go too far into depth about it but the game didn't have factions; non-human characters were supposedly rare and hard to get so the vast majority played humans. Same with some of his classes which were rare. Like becoming a Jedi in Star Wars Galaxies if the steps weren't posted on the internet for everyone to see. Not something that would work well in real life, but works for giving the anime a decent setting.

Non Human races pretty much were stuff you had to pay for. Ains Ooal Gown the guild was famous for the amount of the real money they put down to get so much stuff. (That and the raid they created. Using a lot of this pay to win stuff.)

You'll find that her name was given to her, because it is as if you took a clementine shell and sprouted it in your eyes and lit them on fire with a lighter. She's great fun, in other words.

Contacted the author on twitter, turns out he was apparently a big fan of Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. He also referenced Timer Senki, Sword World, Rune Quest, GURPS, Cthulhu, D&D and others as inspiration. I don't know some of those, but thought that was pretty cool.

I totally buy that he's played a lot of RPG's since like others have said basically everything so far has been a direct allusion to something from a game. darkgray posted:She's played by the same voice actress as Fremy in Rokka no Yuusha, so there's some nice light novel adaptation overlap going on this season.

Good stuff, hopefully Clementine sticks around a long time so she keeps getting work when Rokka doesn't get any more seasons because there is no justice in the world.

Like the teacher in Free, the granny in Rin-ne, the mom in Dandelion, etc. She dropped all the kanji in her name for hiragana a few months back, strangely enough.

I just scrolled through her past roles and it seems like I've just somehow missed all those shows she happened to be in since like 2007. I also noticed she seemed to get a ton of major parts in the early/mid 2000s, but after that it's almost all minor stuff. I wonder what happened there.

When voice actresses pass 35 they often just seem to slip into mommy roles, while main heroines are given to young newcomers who look nice in a bathing suit. Easier to promote, I guess. Mind you, voices change as you grow older.
