The show can be taken to light from different perspectives.
(Given the irony that he himself is a skeleton, a personification of death) As the story progresses, there is a lack of feeling he develops towards death. However, I would not say that he is an arrogant character as he is quite loyal, honest, and respects his servants.
Momonga’s personality also becomes suppressed and he displays cunning behavior throughout the show. Apparently, they serve him like he is their God so it takes time for him to adapt. Monomga still display his human traits as he interacts with the NPCs he encounters.

However, the series also takes a few different turns. The show demonstrates his invulnerability to poison along with elite fighting skills, weapon set, and even an intellectual mind as the story progresses. Now, I have a problem with overrated characters and Ainz is no exception to this.
The first two episodes establishes Momonga (or going by his in-game name Ainz Ooal Gown) as someone with immense powers. Essentially, the story marks its territory at the Tomb of Nazarick. What’s more is that the NPC around him also exhibit their own personalities as if they are alive and have minds of their own. It also just happens so that the avatar is also a very powerful wizard. Things go a bit wary and he gets stuck in-game as an online avatar in the form of a ‘skeletal lich’. Taking place in the online world of Yggdrasil, we meet Momonga, a salary-man who apparently tried to log out at the very last minute. And it isn’t wrong either as the first two or so episodes carries a weak weight on itself. That usually sets off a red flag with the story pacing. The original source has about 9 volumes although the adaptation by Madhouse studio consists of only a single cour. The series is based on a light novel that originated from a Japanese web novel. Where does that put Overlord? A bit overboard? Underwhelming? It’s not really like that but Overlord is the type of show that can be hard to judge. As a fan of MMORPG games in real life, there should be expectations with the world fiction such as the monsters, mechanics, story, setting, and overall execution. If you've ever had a dream of ruling your own world, then this show will make an excellent guide.Īnime adaptation revolving around RPG and MMORPG themed worlds can usually be a hit or miss. The Art and Music of the show compliment each other brilliantly, and the characters are a good mix of perverse, lovable and obedient. And while he uses his tactics as he would in a game, he knows the consequences of his actions and accepts them without hesitation. Every move he makes defines his character as a person who is a veteran of MMORPG games.
with which Ainz/Momon takes charge of his servants and powers is refreshing to see. The show quickly sets itself apart from its contemporaries by giving us a protagonist who plays the role of an antagonist and loves it.Īfter a brief period of confusion, the ease Well, that's exactly what happens in Overlord, however, the advantage with me is that I haven't seen shows like Sword Art Online, so while the plot was known to me the inherent flaws and stereotypes were not. "A popular MMORPG game traps its players inside and the players now have to play the game where the consequences are quite real". Overlord is the kind of anime you begin watching with some reservations.
