Synopsis

In the year 2138, virtual reality gaming is booming. Yggdrasil, a popular online game is quietly shut down one day. However, one player named Momonga decides to not log out. Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as "the most powerful wizard." The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
regenesisracunari This anime has everything and I am really enjoying watching it.Keep up the good work!
roytahrens Upon reading some of the negative criticisms I felt obligated to stand up for what is in my opinion a fun spin on a common plot line where a player gets stuck in a game he loves. Obviously, if your cinematic need is to empathize with the protagonist and aren't fond of games or gamers then this isn't an anime for you.Negatives: This anime does have some issues in that it is fast paced (not as bad as SAO) and constantly bolts passed some minor details as a result, but the overall story-line never seems to be impacted. The first two seasons seem to be more about building up the image of power of the main hero most likely setting him up for some brutal falls later on. This anime does also contain some light hentai references which in most instances adds some nice grit or cheap humor to the world but in other cases is completely unnecessary (fairly standard stuff for non-mainstream anime). One key detail I'd like to remind and reinforce in the viewers of this; is that his emotions/humanity is being influenced/moderated by an outside force, much like he is being played by a player. Which is the fun new perspective that this anime adds to the genre. (Not really a spoiler as it introduced in the first episode)
nilsnomnom Can be in the top with Fairy tail and Once piece. I hope this Anime never stops and is truly for video game and anime fan a must see. Beautiful drawn great story great action and of course some good old fun. Its al there. Hope you enjoy it as much as i do.Ps i really hoop this game translates to a video game its self.
znuzhu The anime for overlord while having being worked on by one of the best animation studios. isn't perfect. The anime skips alot of the source material in the first season while in the second they stay more true to the source material but they don't include everything from it, as a perfect adaption would. Animation wise, it's ok. Most of the scenes are either single a frame with barely any animation on it, especially the scenes with creatures without mouth movements. Or they are heavily animated scenes where even the fabric of clothing is being animated. This would be a good animation quality from any other studio but from madhouse, one of the best. You'd always expect to see living scenery and not still frames with barely any life in them. If you read the light novel, aka the source material. You'd know the story already and you wouldn't be missing out any details other than seeing the animated form of the scenes from the book. If you haven't read the light novel though you'd be lost about certain thing here and there, like why did ainz decide to use ____ kinda punishment? or does ___ have any brothers/ sisters? or how did ___ find ____ ? and etc. You'd honestly be lost in those finer details as the anime does skip alot of the explanations for things and doesn't go into what each character is thinking, unlike the Light Novel.As long as you read the light novels alongside the anime, you should be fine. But if you don't you'll get confused here and there. It's still enjoyable regardless though. So, I highly recommend it a watch.
