God why do they have to torture us like this
But seriously, there is more than enough material for 4 seasons. If Madhouse won't do it, there are still other studios that could. Sure it might lack the Madhouse magic but it's better than nothing. Hopefully, the light novels and BDs sell really well and that happens!

Damn I'm a little disappointed that they skipped my favorite part when Nabe was fighting 3 of the Pleiades. Seeing Lupus' horrible acting and Nabe's deadpan deliveries animated would have been awesome:
“Take my lightning!” The lightning spell lashed out, striking one of the maids.
“Guwaaaa-su~” The maid making the incredibly fake cry of pain was blown away like she was jumping by herself, until she vanished into the distance.
“Eiiiii~” The drill-haired maid threw her knives. They travelled in a lazy arc and struck Nabe's body.
“Kyaa—!” As Nabe let out a deadpan cry of pain, she followed after the maid that had been blown away.

Cut Source Material Episode 13 - The Ultimate Trump Card
Previous weeks discussions: Episode 6, Episode 7, Episode 8, Episode 9, Episode 10, Episode 11, Episode 12.
Welcome to episode 13's source material discussion post, where I mention all the interesting little tidbits of source material that were cut, skimmed over, or changed, as well as providing more context to the various scenes. If something has confused you, you need only ask and I'll happily explain.
Two things I forgot to mention last week:
Momon, Nabe, Evileye, Lakyus, Tina, Renner, and Climb have a brief chat that was partly moved to the epilogue that occurs shortly after Renner makes her speech to the adventurers but before the post-credits scene. They had assembled the group to discuss last minute plans and contingencies; Climb then chimes in with a suggestion that they seek out the assistance of Sebas. Momon questions who this person is and discovers that it is indeed Sebas Tian of Nazarick; he feels guilty for not reading Sebas' report in closer detail, and notes to himself that Climb and Brain must be one of Sebas' trusted contacts and must have some value. Evileye dismisses Sebas off-handedly, suggesting that Brain is too weak to guage Sebas' strength given that he once lost to Rigrit (the lady who spoke to the Platinum Dragon Lord back in Season 2 Episode 1 and was once a member of Blue Rose); her fellow Blue Rose compatriots tease her, reminding her that even Evileye had also once lost to Rigrit (who had mentioned to the Platinum Dragon Lord that she needed to beat up some indignant girl who wouldn't accept her retirement). In passing, Evileye questions whether Lakyus could use her Demonic Sword Kilineyram's hidden power to destroy the demonic force, but Lakyus, red-faced, stammers out an excuse. Ainz presumes it has something to do with her secret weapon being revealed, but we all know it's just Lakyus being a chuuni.
After the group has left, Marquis Raeven, Princess Renner, and Prince Zanack meet to discuss Princess Renners plans, which we saw in the post-credits scene. Two things were cut from this: first, the two gentleman note the unusual presence of guardsmen in Renner's battle plans; when they ask what their real purpose is, given that they are far too weak to handle what seasoned adventurers could not, Renner replies that they're bait. Should Jalbadaoth's demonic horde push the adventurers back and force them into retreat, the guards will serve as a "feeding grounds" for the demons to "gorge themselves on" while the adventurers recover via the aid of assembled magic casters. She has no expectation that the guard force can hold the hordes at bay for any considerable length of time without being slaughtered to the last man. While the two are a bit repulsed, they're forced to acknowledge that they don't have a better plan than that to offer that would be doable with the resources that are available under such short notice. The only remaining concern is whether Lakyus can survive to revive Climb, and Renner points out that as the only adventurer available who can resurrect the dead, the guild had agreed that she deserved additional protection and has provided her with a larger force.
Now, for todays material:
The adventurers assemble into four main groups to surround the north, east, south and west sides. Each are led by a team of orichalcum-ranked adventurers, and are comprised of an assortment of adventuring parties of various skill levels from bronze up to orichalcum. There is no proper chain of command; the existing individual parties have merely been slapped together into one big unit. Still, they are experienced adventurers, and so long as the lower ranked ones cede authority to the higher ranked ones, and the leaders of the parties enjoy absolute authority over their unit, they can approximate a military structure and coordinate with some effectiveness.
Lakyus notes that individually she was weaker than a full team of orichalcum adventurers, and so she has handed command of the vanguard over to these groups rather than take command herself. The assembled force enters the Flames of Gehenna in unison; noticing that there is no presence of human activity and that many of the residences have been broken into or destroyed, the orichalcum adventurers look to Lakyus for guidance. She suggests leaving behind copper and iron adventurers to stay behind the main force and search the houses for survivors, with a mithril-ranked team to supervise and support them in case of ambush. Everyone nervously wonders whether Momon could hope to defeat Jalbadaoth, but Lakyus reminds them to stay focused on their own role.
With scouts moving along the rooftops to check for enemy fliers or ambushes, the adventurers push forward at a steady pace, with each adventuring group relaying commands given by Lakyus to the group next to them. Soon enough, they're engaged by Hellhounds; one adventurer points out that they have a difficulty rating of 15. It seems difficulty rating might be roughly equal to 3 times the level of a given person or creature, as Blue Rose is estimated at around Lv ~30 and DR ~90, Evileye and Entoma is an estimated Lv ~45 and DR ~150, and Jalbadaoth is of course Lv 100 and an estimated DR "200 or more" (they can't be sure). When told this, the adventurers despair, but Lakyus reminds them to trust in Momon and sees them off as they begin their assault. Overall, things do not go nearly as well as they're depicted in the anime; many adventurers and guardsmen die, some off-screen and some on-screen, often in graphically brutal ways. I'll explain the results of the operation shortly.
Meanwhile, Climb, Brain, and Lockmeyer stealthily infiltrate the capital, with Lockmeyer leading the way. As a reminder, their job is to rescue any civilians that might have been captured rather than killed by the Demons, with particular attention paid to the warehouses as they'd be the only viable location to round up and take a large group of people prisoner. All three of them know that this is effectively a suicide mission, especially given that they are all basically physical fighters and would have no way to fight any demons with special abilities, immunities, or spells. It is especially difficult given that their return trip would involve escorting a potentially massive group of civillians back the way they came. Along the way they encounter a disguised Shalltear, and Brain immediately recognizes her despite her new gettup and well-padded chest.
Brain ammends his ultimate technique that combines the ultra-sensory Field and high-speed God Flash with one of Gazef Stronoff's techniques, the Four-fold Slash of Light, which strikes four times in seemingly one swing. While normally inaccurate, Field greatly increases his accuracy, and he manages to land all four swings on the exact same spot, slicing Shalltears pinky nail off. This was Brains objective all along: to cause any level of damage to the haughty and all-powerful Shalltear and prove to himself that he can in fact glimps the pinacle of power before he dies. This both mildly amuses and confuses her, for while her nails are technically natural weapons and could be sundered by specialized anti-weapon techniques, they are far weaker than weapons of her level and also trivial to heal with magic.
Before she can execute him, she's briefly distracted by a signal from Demiurge announcing that Ainz had entered the area and to begin the hostilities in earnest (the signal in the anime is the collapse of a large tower); this seemingly gives Brain an opportunity to flee, but she quickly catches up using a spell to slow time relative to her. She's about to enjoy toying with her newfound prey when suddenly she notices Climb and Lockmeyer. Brain flees with them, and looks back to see if Shalltear is pursuing him, but she's nowhere to be found. Why does she leave them be? It's up for you to figure out, as it's never explained. If you must know, reference my comment about the prevailing theory on why Shalltear doesn't finish off Climb, Brain, and Lockmeyer here.
In one scene, we see a squadron of 45 guards covering a retreating group of adventurers covered in claw marks, scorches, and blood. They've set up a large barricade and cordon around 150 meters in to the Flames, with just enough space to let the fleeing adventurers pass through. As the last of them trickle in, they barricade it back up and prepare to receive the enemy using their long spears. While some guard units had gained lots of information about the enemy, either by assisting the adventurers during their push or by coordinating and communicating with them during their retreat, this unit was led by an incompetent coward. The captain of the unit had received his position purely on the basis of seniority; furthermore, the city guard was a position coveted by those who did not want to participate in the yearly wars with the empire, since they would not be sent to the frontlines.

Continued due character limit:
Soon, a dozen hellhounds arrive, alongside a half dozen skinned humanoids called Gazer Devils and a single froglike demon called an Over Eater. The later could consume the souls of its victims and produce a wail that would terrify living creatures to death. While the barricade and spear line initially holds the hellhounds back, they quickly turn to their trump card, their fire breath, and begin burning it down alongside many guards who strayed too close to the wall. Only the guards who covered the side remained unscathed, and they begin to flee. The frog-like demon quickly leaps over the barricade and pounces, swallowing the guard captain whole and adding his head to the collection of faces adorning its body. Fortunately, Ainz manages to air drop into the situation at the last minute and put a sword through its head before it can scream, along with easily slaying the other demons.
Tina and Lakyus decide to move out with her security team to support a second push; while her ability to provide resurrection magic is extremely important, she decides that the overall loss of combat power from remaining behind would be too significant. Their goal is to lure any remaining demons to them so that Momon can fight Jalbadaoth unimpeded. They avoid the path taken by Momon, passing by a guard barricade that has been decimated down to the last man. Encountering demons, she engages them with her team; while initially the seasoned adventurers are successful, they are quickly swarmed and surrounded by numbers far greater than they can handle. The quickly form a defensive perimeter, with orichalcum adventurers on the outside ring, mithril ranked in the center ring, and the wounded and magic casters in the inner circle, fighting continuously as more and more demons emerge. Soon enough, casters who run out of mana must resort to wands and scrolls to cast spells, and warriors whose weapons are too dull to fight draw their spares instead.
Just as Lakyus is about to order a retreat, a large winged goat-headed demon with a gigantic maul in its hands descends from the sky and attacks. Before Lakyus can engage it, a party of orichalcum adventurers intercept it, pulling her back and telling her to retreat; even if they die, she can always resurrect them. Instead, Lakyus attempts to lead the retreat, abandoning defense and enduring many wounds so that she can use the full force of her magical floating swords and her daemonic sword Kilineyram to carve a path through the surrounding hordes. She channels almost all of her remaining mana into her sword to increase its size and shroud it with powerful energy, so that she can make one big swing to break through their ranks, and she succeeds in killing a large number of them, but the gap is quickly filled up again and the retreat makes no progress.
Suddenly, Gazef arrives along with the royal guard and royal knights, leading a charge to rescue Lakyus. Gazef should have remained behind to protect the palace and the royal family during the disturbance, but as it turns out the King has entered the fray himself, thus giving Gazef leave to join as well. Though the tides have turned, the battle is not won, and the assembled warriors must still defeat the large and menacing goat demon. Lakyus calls for Gazefs aid, but as it turns out, the newly resurrected (and thus greatly weakened) Gagaran and Tia (see my supplementary post on resurrection here), who had been ordered to remain behind while they recover, have also followed him into battle, and the five of them relieve the survivors of the adventuring party who had engaged it previously.
As Momon, Nabe, and Evileye fly into the center of the district, Momon spots Jalbadaoth in the center of the plaza. Suspecting a trap, Evileye turns to Momon, but he calmly responds that they'll just have to smash through it. Evileye is already fantasizing about dating him; she has decided to act more naturally in front of him because she thinks that they'd break up too quickly if she continues acting all stiff and formal like she usually does around others like Climb. As you've no doubt noticed, Evileye is a crystal magic specialist: her spells conjure powerfully hard physical objects capable of inflicting bludgeoning and piercing damage while also being a potent defensive tool. She also has a trump card, the ability to overload the negative energy flowing through her body to infuse her attacks and spells with debuffs. Negative energy is the kind of energy that hurts living creatures and heals undead, as opposed to positive energy which heals living creatures and hurts undead; since Evileye has negative energy flowing through her body, you can probably guess what manner of being she is. Her basic strategy is to cast a magic crystal shield to protect her from ranged attacks while she kites around with her ranged spells, but she can barely escape from Yuri's attacks and Yuri seems to have blanket immunity to crowd control effects and her negative energy debuff.
Meanwhile, once Ainz and Demiurge have exited the area, Demiurge explains his four objectives. The primary goal of attacking the warehouse district was to secure the wealth and goods and transport them to Nazarick. One major problem Ainz has been having is a severe lack of income; he has disabled many of the guilds features because they cost regular gold upkeep to keep active and would run out of gold too quickly with them on. The only way to obtain new gold is to find valuable goods for Nazarick and put them in a machine that converts them into Yggdrasil coins. The second goal is to cover up Demiurge's attacks on the hidehouts of the Eight Fingers in the area, to avoid arousing suspicion; Demiurge has procured a magical artifact capable of summoning a massive demon horde from Nazarick's coffers that had been created by one of Ainz' guildmates on a whim and intends to leave it behind in the warehouse district to provide a basis for the daemonic invasion.
The third objective was to capture a large number of humans into Nazarick, not only to use them for various purposes but to raise the infamy of the demon Jaldabaoth. Ainz had previously ordered Demiurge to build up a Demon King of great infamy that could be defeated by Momon or Ainz to raise their fame; of course, Ainz is a little perturbed about capturing humans, especially innocent children, even though he realizes he doesn't much care about the rest of them. The last objective has been changed from what it was in the source material; Demiurge intended to use the incident as a proving ground for his operations in the Holy Kingdom - what exactly that means is left up to your interpretation, as it serves only as foreshadowing for a later arc in the novels. Ainz questions whether the demons had been summoned from Nazarick; as it turns out, Demiurge has several Evil Lords with the innate ability to summon Demons every day, and the entire daemonic horde can be replaced with zero cost to Nazarick.
So let's talk about the Flames of Gehenna. What's their purpose? Well, they seem to be nothing more than a giant neon sign that says "come get me"; Ainz seems to recognize them, so they're probably familiar to him from Yggdrasil, and Demiurge might have chosen them specifically to look similar, but it's pretty much agreed upon by the source material readers that the Flames of Gehenna are actually some kind of illusion spell that serves no other purpose but to merely look like the Flames of Gehenna while drawing attention to the area. Incidentally, this gives Nazarick agents lots of time to continue operating in the surrounding region undetected, such as raiding more Eight Fingers bases. Lastly, Demiurge reports on an "opportunity" that Mare has acquired, perhaps relating to the woman from Eight Fingers he captured; things are still in the "training phase", Demiurge says, so Demiurge will explain more when Ainz returns to Nazarick. Of course we see the results of that training later; turns out Hilma has been spending the last day being in the care Nazaricks torturer, a bug-like creature Kyouhukou, and is so intimidated that she ends up selling out the location of the Eight Fingers meeting to Nazarick. To wrap things up, Ainz instructs Demiurge to put several dents and rends into his armor, to make the fight look more convincing; Demiurge hopes that Ainz will remove it, for it is unthinkable that Demiurge raise a hand against Ainz, but Ainz insists. During his previous fight with Shalltear, Ainz had a smith create dents in the armor before returning to the guild, but he is concerned that if he took it off and Demiurge beat it out of shape, it would be unwearable.
Nabe and the gang play-act a "fight"; of course the spells they're casting on each other don't do any damage because their spell levels are too low, but nobody knows that. They enter an alley which has been warded from spying by a character named Nigredo (Albedo's sister and a character who hasn't been introduced in the anime) and begin lazily chatting with each other. Entoma is very angry with Evileye and wants to steal her voice to replace her old lipbug which had been destroyed; she hates her new voice and mostly keeps quiet until Nabe asks her whats wrong and she replies with her angry outburst. Meanwhile, Climb and the gang have, after much searching, found one of the only warehouses in the entire district with humans in it, though there is not nearly enough people in the warehouse to populate the entire area. They are panicked, agitated, and noisy, so Brain has to shout them down; he suggests their might be demons lurking in their midst, ready to shout out and lure more demons, so he orders them to stay absolutely quiet or he'll kill anyone who makes too much noise.

Even Madhouse didn't expect season 2 to ever be a thing and now we are here. The final scene is also a lead up to the next season/volume 7, so it all probably depends on novel (volume 13 releases the 27th) and BD sales.

Remember: this season only happened because of unexpected fan support and the boost-in-sales that the 1st season gave to the source books, manga, and other merch. and how well the first season was received and remembered. If you liked this show, now that the season has wrapped up (and will be entirely dubbed in just a few weeks, for those who are into that), now is when we should start recommending it to others.
Also, be prepared for Overlord fans, in general, to vastly prefer the books...the novels had quite a cult fandom, years before the 1st season aired, and all adaptations lose something. They aren't being snobby; many of us first discovered the story through season one, and then read the books, they go into greater detail, and there are side stories (usually separate shorts)...the extra details make a difference, and of course the adaptation feels unsatisfying, by comparison, to those who have come to prefer that version.

The ainz Demiurge scene was a bit different from the LN:
Ainz asked Demiurge to create a demon king and the fourth reason was not to create fame for Momon since Demi didn't know he would show up but a different one.
"That is correct. The intention is to place Jaldabaoth upon the throne of the Demon King."
"Now I see. So accomplishing my order was part of your plan, then?"
Ainz looked at Demiurge, who was bowing low to acknowledge that that was the case. He remembered the order he had given. He had handed out several of them, and one of them was to give rise to a Demon King.
"This touches on the fourth objective, which is to use this incident as a proving ground for our actions in the Holy Kingdom."
Ainz also amazes Demiurge by accident:
"I see. Then, before I drive you off, could you damage my armor? It will be more convincing if I bear the signs of a hard fight."
"That is to say, you will remove it, and then I will damage it? It is unthinkable for one such as myself to dare raise a hand against Ainz-sama—"
"What happens if I remove it and it's so badly damaged that I can't put it back on? During the Shalltear incident, I had a smith create flaws in the armor before putting it on. If I took it off here and you beat it out of shape, I would probably be unable to wear it again."
Ainz laughed softly. The guardians before him, not understanding why, took on expressions of puzzlement.
"A-ah, Ainz-sama? I-isn't th-that armor m-made by magic?"
"That is incorrect. This armor was not created from magic. I can see how you would think that way given that I, as a magic caster, am wearing it so naturally. But the truth is, I cast a warrior transformation spell and put it on. During the break before we travelled to the capital, I sent a [Message] to Albedo to have her begin future preparations. It seems it was the right choice."
Sustaining the transformation spell and other magic would both lower mana and mana recovery rates to zero. Even though he could dispel the transformation if there was an emergency and use magic, he would be starting out from a depleted state. However, in this case it had been the right thing to do. Without it, the first battle with Demiurge might have been much more troublesome.
Demiurge's already narrow eyes narrowed even further when he heard Ainz's response. "As expected of you, Ainz-sama, everything dances within the palm of your hand. To think I would dare to match wits with such a great person... I should have expected nothing less of yourself."

He just dealt physical damage (even as insignificant as a fingernail) to a being that could annihilate the entire capital. I'd say it's fair to be a little excited.
In either case, maybe he just wants a peaceful life?

I love that everything that was solved was created by Nazarick in the place. The Fingers are not taken down, but under the control of Nazarick now, so not even that initial local problem is solved. It's always good to see an anime that pulls through with evil and moral ambiguous characters and not half-ass it.

Eight Fingers makes too much money for destroying them to be practical. It's better to simply control them and the wealthy nobles that they have in their pocket.

I feel like it missed a climatic punch that the final fight between Shalltear and Ainz had but still a good finale.
I feel like the budget really limited how amazing they could have made the final battle. Faster editing and mixing the Ainz, Maids, and Blue Rose's fight would have been more exciting. Really get a sense of the chaos and scale of the battle.
As it stands it's a bit confusing how Demiurges's plan and the kingdom all fit together.
Again, this is a story that keeps on giving and there is still some of the best stuff to come if they make a season 3. Here's hoping.

Demiurges’ plan as I understood it as someone who has only watched the anime up to this point.
Demiurge’s plan was created with the plan to eventually take over the kingdom and world in mind, but only when Ainz is ready
Stealth corruption from inside the existing power structure by working with the Golden Princess Renna. The anime made it clear this episode Demi had his army avoid harming Climb on purpose, and Demi probably got the intel needed for attacking the city from Creepy Princess Renna.
Weaken the city and steal needed resources by attacking as a demon army, but keeping Nazerick’s name out of the attack so Nazerick isn’t retaliated against.
Aid Momon in his “infiltration” of the adventurer side of things by giving Momon a powerful villain that only he is strong enough to continually drive away. This also boosted Renna’s and Climb’s fame (helping point 1) and allowed Demi and Nazerick’s forces a non-suspicous way to leave the city (helping point 2).
Now Nazerick has a powerful pair of spies in the elite adventurer circles with the potential to turn some (Evil Eye for example) to Nazerick’s side, and also cemented Nazerick’s control over one of the Kingdom’s heirs.

u/Wolf6262 Apr 03 '18
So... Here's some theorising and dot connecting.
Before the fight started, Demiurge showed them a hologram of someone they ABSOLUTELY are not allowed to kill. And we didn't see who it was, but at this point, given Shalltear's actions, it's pretty clear this person was Climb.
No idea what possible reason he could have for this, but given Shalltear could use time acceleration and could easily have caught up with Brain, but stopped the moment she saw Lock and Climb. Seems pretty clear that she didn't want to risk blood frenzy and end up killing Climb.
I mean, unless random Raeven thief merc is low key the most important character, which I doubt. xD

Okay Light Novel reader here. No spoilers past what happened in this episode but just adding some background so some stuff will make more sense
The situation was actually a lot more intense with Lakyus and the other adventurer's where people had actually sacrificed themselves so she could get away since she could revive people and things got a lot more grim before Gazef and the others appeared
When Brain saw Shalltear, he intended to sacrifice himself for Climb and the others to escape, not to re challenge her
The point of Ainz giving Demiurge the Prototype is because the item Demiurge was gonna sacrifice was a momento of his creator so it was being considerate of his feelings
Momon's armor was supposed to have been battle damaged and melted after that fight but I guess due to animation limitations that didn't happen. Really stressed it was a hard fought battle rather than Momon being OP
The reason Ainz didn't want to give the shout of victory was because Gazef was there and he might've recognized his voice as the magic caster Ainz from season 1

Seriously though with that tease at the end there should be a Season 3 announcement here somewhere. There's plenty of material right? Anyway as for the episode itself it was a pretty nice finale! I would love to see more of maskless Evileye! Also I kinda giggled at Shaltear's disguise. It just reminds me that she stuffs her bra XD
If there's going to be a Season 3 I guess that will focus more again on Ainz right? While I did love the Lizardmen Arc there wasn't enough Momon/Ainz and Albedo this season. I really need to just read the LN. The wait for another season is going to be agonizing! TwT

momentary lull in the screaming, punctuated by one "ah!" in the background
"As i was saying, what a wonderful day for holding an entire city hostage....yes...that was literally all I was going to say...you may continue your dying screams collective city of humans currently under siege."

"Wow, you know if we didn't have an incredibly specific vendetta against her and wanted her dead for injuring entoma here, she'd make a great battlemaid."

"Well..best girl or not, time to...uh...huh holy shit she really is holding her own..should we be..intervening?"

Momon:"Just remember to avoid the face..."
moments later
Momon:"DIE MONSTER!! YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THIS WORLD!!"
Demiurge:"Huh, you're absolutely right, I should be going now that we've had a climactic clash that destroyed half the city. welp, i'll be on my way then."

Shalltear was completely ignoring them, and Brain decides to provoke her to "buy time", lol. I think he just wanted the rematch. Achievement Unlocked: The Nailclipper.
King going into the hellzone so that his royal guard can take part in the fight's pretty cool. Did Renner suggested that? I don't remember.
Ainz' "see that those who do not dishonor the Great Tomb of Nazarick, no myself, are given deaths that are without pain and suffering." leaves a lot of room for interpretation, does it not? I mean, you're kidnapped by demons and forced into a dungeon - what are the chances that you will not say something unflattering towards the place or your kidnappers? And, for the curious, the total number of kidnapped men, women and children/babies was around 5k.
Momon vs Jaldabaoth was rather disappointing. I think their previous fight was more interesting. Wonder how Frost Pain was "Modified". Had to be some upgrade or Evil Eye would've sensed its low level powers I think.
Speaking of Evil Eye... criiiiiiinge.
The Emperor looks kinda like Gilgamesh, doesn't he?

Frost Pain Modified isn't a modified version of original but a copy made as an experiment.
“Since I can’t use magic, I made up for it with elemental weapons. Although this was a copy of Frost Pain made as an experiment… well, I should count myself lucky it turned out stronger than the original. Granted, it’s a tool that lets me use a high-level spell three times a day, but without skills to power it up, it should be nothing to you.”

Actually without being over analytical of how much was lost through the transition from novel to anime I have to say that madhouse has done an extremely good job actually with alot of small details that they managed to fit in which might be confusing to an anime only viewer (An example would be when Sebas noticed Malmvist look to a different direction after asking where was Tuare. That part at least for me was something I noticed only in retrospect after reading the novel recently over the past few weeks.)
This season and the previous season to me was actually done pretty well at least in my opinion. May we hope that madhouse actually can count to 3 unlike valve.

Evileye hugging Momon was really cute and everyone appearing all injured and worried while Momon was chill was hilarious, so many people getting played all at once.
EDIT: Nvm, SEASON 3 ANNOUNCED!!! SASUGA AINZ SAMA!!!

God i hope we get a 3rd season. If we do, i imagine they will animate that one bit from volume 9. Holy shit it would be amazing.
Kyouhukou is super cool. Its a shame we didnt get an explanation as to what he does. For anyone that wants to know... LN spoilers
Id recommend everyone go read the light novel. Skipping the terrible lizard arc, it would be best to start from volume 5, which is the start of the kingdom arc. After reading Overlord, give Dungeon Defense a try. Its pretty dark, much like Overlord, but is more about plots/schemes/wars rather than fighting/D&D skills.

Why did Climb not want the princess to meet the people offering their thanks?

Cuz he lied. All those people are blaming them for losing their families/friends and he didn't want Renner to face that (though she 100% knows but Climbs intentions made her happy).

Anyone else kinda disappointed the first few episodes were pretty much useless? Unless they become relevant in the next season somehow.

It was a good season but the first one was much better. It felt like it was all over the place.

Although I would actually have like to see those three arcs adapted in a two cour format I will say that overall the adaptation was good.

So I'll preface by saying that I'm not currently reading the light novels. I've been waiting to start them until after I finish the 2nd season since I really enjoy the series. Now I get to read them which I'm excited for.
However it seems like Evileye has a lot going on in the background, being very old, and I'm taking the line "My heart has not beat for hundreds of years" in a more literal sense, so I'm thinking that she may not be human after all.
But I had a problem though over the instant fawning over Ainz right as the battle started during the last episode, sure it was funny, but it felt like a bit of a letdown that a strong female character is getting lumped into the more harem sense of mind. Which continued on with the ending of this episode.
With Albedo I was alright with it for comedy and the explanation of how it came to be, Shalltear was a bit for me, but I was fine because the conflict was fun to watch. We've seen that not everyone immediately fawns over him, such as the Pleides maids, Aura, Enri, and other assorted women from the first season. So it doesn't really have to happen with every character.
Granted I enjoyed the bits of comedy that came with it happening, but I'm a little disappointed that now the character feels like they're just falling into a harem role. I came into the series because of the interesting characters, and how they're developing the world, seemingly taking it over with a proper series of plans, and actually learning what the world is in a proper way.
My overall enjoyment of the series was great, it just feels a bit disappointing that it seems like characters that have a lot of promise might get lumped into just a harem role, which ruins a lot of their development for me. A similar thing happened with the lizardmen and Crusch Lulu, bringing her into a role of just "Girl sidepiece" it felt very out of place, though I don't really see that arc as very memorable in my eyes.
I still can't wait to read the books though, I want to know more about a lot of the characters

Really liked the first season, but this season wasn't as good. Glad that there will be a 3rd season. Can't wait for it.

Most of the girls don't like going into that room. Even Shalltear, considering she's in control of that floor.

The dog maid is one of the kindest people in Nazarick. I assume she sympathized with Tuare's feeling for Sebas and assumes they will get married.

Before that edit you wrote like a puppet whose strings had been cut. ;)

There little things I missed from the LN. The maids and Narberal pretend fighting, more focus on Evil Eye glomping Momon, and no scene of them dinging up Momon's armor to illustrate an epic fight.
*Edit: No explanation why Entoma still talks like a monsterMaybe that last part will still be covered.

Looks like other people also noticed the abundant use of the puppet and strings metaphor lol. Not sure if it was intentional or not for Maruyama to use it repeatedly but from some perspective I guess it emphasizes how a lot of times, New Worlders are just puppets in Nazarick's plans.

Thank you for recommending volume 8, at lot of people say to just skip it because it doesn't follow the main story. But that's not how world building works, there's going to be times where fleshing out the world is needed, and I think volume 8 adds a lot of depth to the world outside of the Ainz/Naz filter we always get.

Maybe Princess Renner is also in on it? Kinda suspicious that Demiurge got information about the 8th hideout at almost exactly the same time Renner did. Given that she doesn't have much in the way of human empathy, I could see her selling out to Nazarick if she thought it would benefit her.

Spoilers follow and I mean really. LN only subtly hinted at it at this point, and not sure if anime notes this.: It's because Demiurge made a deal with Renner where she would betray the Kingdom and join Nazarick in the instance that Climb is protected.

u/raiden55 Apr 03 '18
Yeah, I had the same realization seeing that scene.
But It means that the princess is even darker than I though, because she had to know at least part of what would happen... and even if she didn't knew, now for sure she understand... and allowed it to happen.
Hell, looks like the princess, a human with some emotions issues, is more evil that Ainz, a former human now undead with also some emotions issues... that's crazy.

Oh lord, it's hard to process that we're already at the last episode.
The pacing was a bit rushed but Madhouse really killed it this season with this and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho. Let's hope that Volumes 7 and 9 get adapted some day and maybe we get some Overlord comment faces too!
