The anime will end in a pair of episodes, leaving this thread as the LN thread.

It is, but the manga hasn't had an update since the anime started. At least nothing in any capacity I can find online, which is a shame, because they are behind the anime now.

^^^ Seafood's post quotes the Rokka thread, but the Rokka thread post is the same and quotes the Overlord thread. What black arts are responsible for this?! I feel like I need to go back to the Qualia of Purple thread to try to make sense of it.

I also like that the only real failure condition our hero's plans can face, outside of rebellion in his own ranks, is to be confronted with a threat big enough to make him reveal his power in public. And even then it wouldn't be that big a deal for them to see a big old magic skeleton around, but I just know he wouldn't be able to help himself ranting about Ainz Own Goal and Nazerick and whatnot.

I had thought that Shalltears face opened kind of like a muppet's when her bloodlust kicked in, and not whatever that was.

But yeah they cut a lot of stuff out from the LN, and I think most importantly all of Brain's internal monologue. It was a good characterization of the way he thinks.

Brain running away crying isnt as funny without the long inner speech about his KATANA. Only thing I really missed were Shalltears comment about the god she worships, Brain fight being a lot shorter and they didnt really explain what the party at the end was and what they did to Shalltear.

LN question. Doesn't Brain vanish until volume 5 now when he meets up with Climb, Sebas and Gaz? So why bother characterising someone who will never be seen in the anime unless another studio picks up volume 2.

Welp. That was an episode. "Normal" vampires are way cooler than lampreys even if the latter are a bit grosser. A little bit disappointing choice in my opinion. But whatever, it works I guess. :shrug:

I'd watch a competition between Shalltear and Clementine involving 99 soldiers in an arena.

LN spoilers: Probably because he was a pretty big focus in volume 3. Also they could be doing a season 2 so would be weird to skip him.

They were pretty vague about who they were but the reason why they were there was pretty clearly said. They definetly said what happened to Shalltear also.

They could always do a flashback from his perspective if they get that far.

I assume they're going to explain who that party is and what they did next episode when they get around to explaining what exactly is up with Shalltear.

This is volume 3. The last five episodes were all of volume 2. The first four were volume 1. Volume 5 would be like the middle arc in the second season.

This is the part I wish they'd linger a little longer on and they just rushed past it. We didn't even get to see a bandit explode like a blood balloon, how bad the bandits really were, how Solution deals with her victims where the guys arm suddenly pokes through her face and nothing.

Okay, maybe those things were cut for being funny. And I can see why they wouldn't show a bandit licking the brain matter of another from Shalltears shoe, but still. I'm not sure how they are going to do this last part.

Volume 4 isn't going to happen. The opening also has Sebas preparing to fight, but it's not like we're going to do Volume 4 and Volume 5 in one episode each.

“First time I’ve seen that kind of magic… you’re a magic caster?”

A magic caster would have no need for armor, which would explain why these two would be wearing a dress in a place like this.

“A faith based magic caster, believer of the bloodline of the origin, God Cainabel.”

“Cainabel? First time hearing of a god by that name. Is he an evil god?”

“Yes, he belonged to that category. Well, he was defeated by the Supreme Beings anyways. According to them, he was a ‘weak event boss’. “


Shalltear is basically a vampire paladin.

Don't anime like these usually only run for one season? I wonder how they're going to end it.

As far as I know LNs are still being written, which is the primary motivator for this kind of anime, so I wouldn't completely rule out a second season but I don't really expect one either.

If this season sufficiently drives ln sales that is generally enough to get another season. Though, the lizardmen would be a terrible way to start a new season so who knows?

I believe there is a far higher chance of adapting one book into 4 episodes than 2 books into 2 episodes each.

Hopefully it won't have a filler ending. That almost always kills the chances of subsequent seasons for some reason.

I think there were a couple of things from audio dramas they could adapt, though.

Mixed bag of an episode. Shalltear came out looking like some sort of demented goblin and the censoring was pretty unexpected, especially after episode 3.

LN spoilers:
There's the probing, realizing she's under world class mind control, and then going into the lowest levels for world class items and meeting a pompous nazi pandora's actor. Then there'll be some back and forth with the humans before the actual fight.

I'm certain they're just going to stretch volume 3 to the end even if they skipped a few things this episode like (LN spoilers) all of Brain's monologuing about his KATANA, Shalltear throwing one of her minions, and that one guy specifically saying he wanted to be inside Solution instead of "getting a taste" of her. Guess the network watchdogs wouldn't let that that one fly. I expect they'll flash back at some point because Shalltear going from two minions down to one without any explanation is pretty glaring.
