For some reason, whenever the story follows any character other than Momonga, it becomes insufferably dull. This new season of Overlord isn't all harem bullshit it tries a few new things… and fails at all of them. Skeletor, he wins nearly every fight, and there is no substance. Here it feels like a pandering fest the characters bend over backward to praise Mr. A story's world should ebb and flow without the audience needing to be there. It's funny how Overlord shamelessly admits that its female characters are coded to love Momonga, but that doesn't make it better writing. The philosophy of: "How can I self-insert if my main character isn't a good guy?" breaks any potential this show had to become something original. If the villain protagonist isn't even a villain, then this show is literally just the same as anything else… Like the meek voice hiding behind the intimidating demonic skeleton exterior, Overlord masquerades as something far better and more original than it actually is. It's lovely how nice of a guy he is really–wait, stop right there. He's always speaking in his friendly guy voice in his head to remind us, he's not actually a real villain. Everyone still loves him anyway, and he acts like the generic 'nice guy' harem protagonist. Momonga being a villain changes almost nothing. His skeleton face remains unanimated in conversations his voice is undeniably booming, the actor puts on a fantastic show, but there's no impact. The light novel's designs look amazing-but this adaptation's art lacks detail. Even his character art fails at conveying the intimidation. He is entirely devoid of substance, only existing to continue the story. I like them as much as the next guy, but he's not a very interesting character beyond his intimidating design. An overpowered character doesn't become good just by not being a teenage boy. What's the appeal of it? Is it that Momonga is a ridiculously overpowered self-insert protagonist and his legion of ladies all want him? Both this season and the first were at best disposable entertainment, like any other isekai light novel adaptation. The character designs look cool, and all but that isn't enough to carry a boatload of mediocrity. Overlord is not mature, it's not remotely well written, its visuals don't even look good. It is practically a generic isekai light novel adaptation, but with older characters, giving it the illusion of maturity. ![]() Demiurge shows his admiration for Ainz and his plans and believes that Ainz has been planning everything in advance for the next thousands of years.I have never understood why Overlord receives so much praise. Ainz then meets up with Demiurge and asks for an update regarding the Theocracy. Later on, the runesmiths celebrate their new beginning. Ainz and the others meet up with Aura and Shalltear. However, one of them refuses, and Ainz kills him. Hejinmal gathers the rest of the dragons, and they agree to submit to Ainz. Riyuro commands the Quagoa to fight, but he’s pained, knowing that he has to choose who will fight until the desired amount of Quagoa remains. Shalltear tells Riyuro that the Quagoa must submit to the kingdom or she will kill everyone until only a certain about of males, females, and children remain. Aura explains that Ainz mentioned that to help Shalltear improve her strategic thinking. Shalltear mentions how it’s likely impossible that there is someone powerful enough to defeat the Death Knights in their area. ![]() Meanwhile, Aura and Shalltear handle the Quagoa. ![]() While the rest of the dragons gather, Ainz helps Gondo take the book he wanted. Ainz approaches Olasird’arc, who refuses to submit to him. Ainz and Gondo go with Hejinmal to the rest of the dragons, while Shalltear and Aura take care of the Quagoa. Due to fear, Hejinmal immediately submits to Ainz. Hejinmal meets Ainz, Gondo, Shalltear, and Aura. The dragon lord, Olasird’arc, sends one of his sons, Hejinmal, to help. Riyuro goes to the dragons to ask for their assistance in fighting the dwarves. Shortly after, another Quagoa reports that something is approaching. In the former dwarven capital, Yohz talks to Riyuro, their clan leader, about what happened. MORE: Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War’s Action ‘Will Top the Previous Series’ Overlord IV Episode 7 Recap
