Revdomezehis posted:Speaking of that arc/novel, does the rest of the series continue in that vein or does it change? Because after I finished the volume that had that arc in it, I put down the series and haven't picked it back up since as you say, it was literally just torture porn with no other purpose. Just wondering if it's worth continuing to read the series or not before the apparently 3rd season comes out. Yes and no. I mean you kind of know what you are getting into with this series, but it never goes back to that amount of useless torture plot. Besides maybe the latest volume which ends in a cliffhanger so who know how that will turn out. CasinoV fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Apr 3, 2018 |

Get you a girl that looks at you the way Renner looks at Climb when Climb isn't looking at Renner.

It doesn't get quite as bad again for a while, but the latest volume had me pretty clammed up. I hope those chapters are just skipped honestly.

She is a fairly old one which is why she is so powerful. If I remember right she was with one of the parties that defeated the last time super powerful people came out of nowhere into their world. Which is where she learned the bug spray i think? Thats also why she hides her face, nobody knows she is a vampire since humans dont trust the undead.

The final fight was pretty uneventful. Evileye's gilrboner for Momon could have been left behind, but I guess we are harem anime now, and everyone's gonna fall in for Mommaster. God I hate how they could have kept that subtle, but no, her whole personality changes and she starts screaming in high pitched voice. Not every NPC under Ainz has to go for 5 minute verbal worshipping spree everytime he as much as compliments them. I did not catch why Shalltear didn't start killing those 3? Very out of character? Also why wardrobe change? How did Brain recognise her? I was very confused about every aspect of this scene. Brain being ecstatic about clipping her nails was good end to his power level realization character arc though. Teasers for season 3+ in the beginning and the end, sure. They could have linked those a little bit for current story, but I guess you gotta remind fans of novel that they'll be here. Eventually. Please keep buying our DVDs. I'd enjoy this anime a little more if there was a little bit more close fights. Thus far everything expect insect maiden was not even a contest. I do like world building, that kept me on board this long, but fights just fall apart when only thing not set in stone is if humans survive or not. Also when resurrection is a thing, even that last one is not the case. "Character you liked fell in battle? No worries, we gotta bring them back for fans." They should have just kept resurrection as Nazarick exclusive or with a ridiculously high level requirement. I guess I'll watch season 3, but I do hope world building takes front seat from all the horrible stuff Ainz is doing just for the sake of doing horrible things. Related to that, there is not even conflict in human expirementing. They could have made still Ainz go trough torture of humans, while still pondering if it is right thing to do just to try and seek world conquest. But no, no emotions, just torture for glory of Nazarick. Now watch as these 2 children mentally anguish this table of adults. I do like they allow some of the NPC's to actually be neutral toward humans. Thank god not everyone is actively wanting to kill every man they see. Let's hope we see some more Sebas, less Narberal

Her girlboner for Ainz isn't really explained, but I reckon it might be because they are both on the same team biologically. Funnily, she was also apparently the main character at some point. I ponder how that would turn out, as I kinda like vampires depicted in this manner.

Taikuri posted:I did not catch why Shalltear didn't start killing those 3? Very out of character? It's pretty roundabout, but Momon/Ainz is technically working at the behest of Marquis Raeven, the nobleman who is working with Princess Renner. As we know, Renner is Climb's boss(and psychotically obsessed with him). Demiurge does a lot of the intelligence work for Nazarick(he's effectively Solution's boss, for example), so he's aware of this and gave the participants in his little disguised villain scheme(the Pleiades, Shalltear) instructions to not kill anyone who might gently caress up the plan to build Momon into a national hero by acting as his foils. So Shalltear is definitely about to murder the gently caress out of Brain and then she spots Climb and decides to pull back to not mess things up. She's also likely to be significantly more cautious than usual because she's still guilty about getting mind controlled and doesn't want to gently caress up.

Yeah i dont think its ever really explained, it seems she just likes heroic warriors since shes a good person herself. Of course the tragedy here is Ainz isnt a hero at all. Hes a goofball being given the power of a evil god. Note that Ainz also hates her deeply for what she did to the bug pleides. Hes pretty much considering killing her if she wasnt so important to Nazaricks plans.

Yeah I kinda just hand waved it away in my mind as magic aura nonsense that is played when magic is around. It is also probably the only way it could of happened since Shalltear does not remember anything from that night, and they wanted to show Brain's increase in power, no matter how small it really was compared to her Stevefin fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Apr 4, 2018 |

Taikuri posted:
There is a difference though, it’s basically D&D resurrection. Those two came back severely weakened, level loss and all. The way they talked hinted that they weren’t as powerful as they were before. Only Nazarick has access to the good level 9 version. It’s good that Ainz didn’t resurrect those villagers back in early season 1, since the current quality of priests could never do that without turning them into piles of ashes. It would have made him looked at as a literal god.

Taikuri posted:The final fight was pretty uneventful. Just to clear up some things that are perhaps not explained that well in the anime: Shalltear did not kill them because the signal for her to do her job (Gate things) comes in and because in the group of 3 is one person that they must absolutely not kill (that's Climb). Demiurge mentioned that some people were not to be killed a few episodes ago. Resurrection is a spell that aside from absurdly high cost (If we go by DnD, you pay a shitload in diamonds) , you stay dead if you are not strong enough, requires mostly intact bodies and can be cast by a handful of people in the continent. So yeah, only Nazarick can resurrect people easily (and maybe dragons). Finally, Evileye is cute.

man I really like the idea of a veteran of a dying mmo getting stuck in the game world after the servers shut down, but after almost 2 seasons of watching it's just way too much fluff about the new world and very little getting to the bottom of the why and how, him getting the name out and reaching out to other leftovers, guildmates looking for him irl/ingame etc. Now I have an itch I don't know how to scratch

You need an isekai scratch? There's a lot out there, albeit none seem to really be into answering that question.

Most isekais are explicitly fantasies about escaping the real world and becoming a badass somewhere else so very, very few of them are interested in dealing with the real world once things get rolling beyond a few fish out of water moments(like Ainz's mental voice periodically reacting in confusion/disgust).

I liked the mystery of wth is going on, why and how it all is happening and a veteran of the game looking for leads and finding friends and tearing up the system while getting to the bottom of things and trying to make it out. Overlord has spent two seasons futzing around in the first two setup episodes of the anime I actually wanted to watch.

The full mystery hasn't been revealed yet but there's hints in the novels and some in the anime. This isn't the first time players have come to this world, and each time has caused a massive shakeup but none have been as strong as the inhabitants of Nazerick. It's also hinted that Overlord is a prequel story to one that actually explores the questions you want answered though there's several volumes or years in real time until that story will be started, if ever.
