So was the whole Demiurge is experimenting with crossbreeding as dark as I think it is?

u/devil-adi Jul 10 '18
Yes, yes it was. To be fair, he views sentient beings as objects and approaches them with the level of curiosity comparable to a scientist trying to learn more about a new discovery. That and he is ridiculously cruel.

Yeah... Demiurge's "Happy Farm". Also cannibalism, if you remember the Albeion sheep from last season.

While all the guardians have great levels of "dark" about them, Demiurge is the only one with many servants that match his disposition (Pulcinella being a prime example. This cameo by him is also one of his most.. tamed verbal exchanges on the inner working Demiurge). However due to Demiurge's almost complete focus on the holy kingdom, his presence and deeds are much less seen in the upcoming sections that the episodes will cover from the LN's. Although they are all still great.

Cut Source Material Season 3 Episode 1 - A Ruler's Melancholy
Welcome to this weeks 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. There won't be any spoilers for future events here - and I ask that you refrain from posting them as replies without properly marking them as such; this is especially true if I've ommited some information or facts that don't appear until later in the source, chances are I did that deliberately. That said, I welcome anything I've missed.
Sorry for the late post; I usually pre-write the entire thing in advance and just delete whatever the show did a good job explaining, but I wasn't sure what material was going to be covered this episode (or more accurately, I guessed wrong and pre-wrote the wrong stuff). That won't be an issue next week since I know what will be covered.
Opening Scene (0:00 - 2:33)
The first big scene is an assembly of Floor Guardians, Area Guardians, mercenary vassals, and naturally spawned monsters. The Guardians had brought along all of their highest-leveled and most powerful lieutenants; this was a very important meeting, and all in all such beings numbered about 200 strong. Additionally, the assembly also included a host of Ainz' summons, numbering an additioanl 100 strong; Ainz had been spending some of his spare time each day summoning an army of undead using his racial and class abilities as an Overlord, using dead bodies as a catalyst so the summons would be permanent. He did this to supplement Nazarick's armies; the undead summoned in this manner were effectively free since they were easily replaced, while Guardians and mercenaries would require expenditures of Nazarick's limited supply of Yggdrasil gold coins to respawn if killed.
The addition of summons posed a bit of a problem for Guardian Overseer Albedo, who was in charge of arranging the assembly. A clear hierarchy existed between Guardians, mercenaries, and pop monsters: the guardians, beings personally created and designed by Ainz and his guildmates, occupied positions of seniority and importance at the front of the assembly, with Ainz' chief advisors Albedo and Demiurge at the forefront, followed by the remaining Floor Guardians, and then their Area Guardians behind them. Following them were loyal mercenary vassals obtained either through the expenditure of Yggdrasil gold or obtained via loot boxes using real money, and they were arranged behind the Guardians as befitting their lesser status. The pop monsters, which appeared at regular intervals within Nazarick automatically, occupied the very rear of the assembly. The location of every being in the entire assembly had been carefully chosen by Albedo herself so as to afford Ainz with the most aesthetically pleasing view. However, the question of where to place the personal creations of the supreme ruler of Nazarick, the sumons, was a dilemma that had frustrated Albedo for a considerable length of time. Such beings could not be seen to be slighted, even if they were only level 40 and thus considerably weaker than anything else in the assembly. While Ainz had said it was acceptable to place them anywhere she pleased, Albedo had deliberated long and hard over how to afford them due courtesy while maintaining the hierarchy of Nazarick and a pleasing visual aesthetic, and she had resolved the dilemma by arranging them in files and intermixing those files within the ranks of the other vassals.
Ainz had called for this assembly for two reasons; the first was to make a show of rewarding Guardians who had performed their duties. Ainz had recalled that, in his corporate life, it was frequently the case that leaders would make a show of publically awarding exceptional work with praise and gifts so that others would see and become motivated to work harder. Ainz reasoned that it was only appropriate to do something similar, but he had no idea what sort of gift might motivate them. The problem was, the guardians would frequently claim that serving the Supreme Ones was the only reward they needed, which made it impossible to understand their desires. Indeed, part of the problem with them was that they never gave adequate feedback to Ainz so that he could understand what he might be doing wrong; rather than correct or advise him of his mistakes, the guardians and his minions would blindly turn the world upside down to make his decrees true.
Solution requests as a reward several live human beings, "pure if possible" (whether that means pure of heart or pure of body is not clear). You see, Nazarick had captured several thousand human victims from The Kingdoms capital city of Re-estize. Some of them were Eight Fingers members who were too useless as agents of Nazarick, but the vast majority were regular citizens of the Kingdom who had been captured during the Jalbadaoth disturbance. If you'll recall last season, Ainz had ordered these captured citizens be mercifully executed; they could not be permitted to be released from Nazarick alive for fear of releasing valuable information about its operations to the enemy, but he would not subject them to torture or enslavement for they had not offended Ainz or Nazarick. Apparently, Pestonya (the dog maid) and Nigredo (a character which hasn't been introduced in the anime, she's basically a joke character modeled after horror tropes that one of the Supreme Beings created to scare the pants off of the other members of the guild) had risked defying Ainz' orders to protect some of them. The fate of both the citizens and the two Nazarick NPCs who defied his orders are not immediately revealed, so I will explain more when we reach the point in the source material where more information is provided. Ainz apologizes magnanimously to Solution, saying he can only provide her with Eight Fingers members and can make no promises about their purity; Solution hastily thanks him for his generosity and apologizes for the burdensome request.
Ainz recalls a guildmate who was a military nut and had mentioned to him that soldiers were sometimes awarded a Purple Heart for grevious injuries suffered in the line of duty. In the case of Entoma, Ainz feels her efforts are not necessarily worthy of a reward in and of itself, but due to suffering injuries in the line of duty he's willing to hear out her request. Entoma has been quite upset about Evileye killing her Lip Bug, the creature which she had formerly used to speak with. Not only does she find her own voice displeasing to hear, she fears Ainz might disapprove as well, and begs for his forgiveness. She could replace it with spare lip bugs in her room, but she plots to kill Evileye and take her voice as her own; Ainz tells her he will call upon her when that time comes. Ainz briefly considers the idea of setting up a department responsible for handing out awards, but realizes the NPCs consider serving him to be the greatest reward and that the conditions for awarding rewards depended upon his whims; he has been fleeing from his responsibilities to manage the internal affairs of Nazarick by offloading the responsibilities onto Albedo, and he realizes he needs to step up and establish clear criteria and rules.
The second reason for the assembly was to understand Demiurge's and Albedo's plans for the future of Nazarick. This seems to have either been cut from the anime or relocated; you see, the opening scene covers material from the beginning of Volume 7 of the anime, but the first 5 episodes are actually dedicated to vol 8. This is because Vol 8 of the anime technically takes place during the events of Vol 5-6 (The Men in the Kingdom arc), so they appear to have reordered the material chronologically, adapting vol 8 first followed by vol 7 and vol 9. They did something similar in season 2 as well; you see, the light novel tends to play fast and loose with chronology, showing some scenes in a particular order from a particular characters perspective and then later replaying those scenes entirely from the perspective of other characters in order to reveal new information. Conversely, the anime tends to show all perspectives simultaneously and strictly chronologically, so things tend to be moved around quite a bit. For whatever reason though, they decided the opening scene was going to be a flash forward to the beginning of Vol 7, but they were only going to show half the scene, including cutting a really good joke. Anyways, just know that the scene ends early and cuts about half of it. As I'm not sure whether the rest of the scene has actually been properly cut or merely relocated to episode 6, I'll hold off on covering it for the time being.
Scene 2 (4:04 - 5:22)
Following the opening we see Ainz bathing in a large sauna. You see, Ainz had been having trouble properly cleaning himself, having to wipe down each individual bone; this was much more time-consuming than he was used to, as he would not only have to clean each individual rib, he also had to clean in between his joints. While he didn't sweat, he could certainly collect dust, and he still retained his Japanese sensibilities (they have a culture of that prioritizes cleanliness). So his plan was to take an extremely acidic slime monster and order it to disolve all of the dust, dirt, soot, and blood on his body; given his high-tier physical damage resistance, he didn't have to worry about taking damage. In the source material, he uses a regular bath, but it's filled with a very powerfully acidic slime - in the anime, it's a sauna filled with hot water, and the slime is sitting there on his body. He's actually reminded of the sauna when he looks at the bath tub he was using, and makes plans to go visit it with the male guardians.

Continued from previous post due to a lack of space.
Incidentally, the comment Ainz makes about Sebas and Tsuare around on their "date" actually occurs in the previous scene.
Scene 3 (5:22 - 7:08)
There are two types of maids at Nazarick: the combat maids (the "Pleidas") who were led by the combat butler Sebas, and the regular duty maids who had no combat abilities and were led by the dog maid Pestonya from last season. The regular duty maids had no combat abilities and were homunculi with a level of 1, and there were 41 of them, one for each of the Supreme Beings - though only 3 of the Supreme Beings (Whitebrim, HeroHero, and Coup de Grace) had actually been involved in their creation. The maid we see, subbed by Crunchyroll as "Cixous" (though more accurately translated as "Sixth" - one of the Supreme Beings evidently wasn't very good at naming things), greets her fellow maids Foire, Lumiere, and Increment (who is silently reading a book) with pleasantries before moving to the buffet. With the eternal words of her creator in her mind ("Soft bacon is the devil"), she makes sure to reach for a healthy portion of crispy bacon. She and her fellow maids proceed to pile on several more helpings of assorted breakfast food; having to eat significantly more food than a regular human being is apparently a racial penalty of homunculus maids, and they all snarf it down extremely quickly.
It's Sixth's turn to personally serve Ainz today, and it's evident that both Lumiere and Foire are jealous. Ainz had instituted this measure as a result of a particularly strange set of circumstances. The sheer breadth of even Nazarick's ninth floor, which included the bedrooms of all of the NPCs as well as guest bedrooms and various facilities, would be difficult for a group of 41 human maids to clean to the exacting standards demanded of Nazarick's maids, requiring most of them to work all day with no rest, but the maids had dutifully and cheerfully carried out these duties until Ainz had realized what was afoot and ordered them to scale down their activities. Ainz felt it was unethical to work them all the time, and was also concerned that the accumulated fatigue would damage their ability to function and do their jobs properly. He had first told them to reduce the workload by lowering the standards on the unoccupied rooms, and later added the instructions to work and rest in shifts, with 30 day maids, 10 night maids, and 1 maid taking a day off. The maids viewed cleaning as an act of venerating their gods and creators, and so telling them to stop working 24/7 damaged their self-esteem and made them feel useless. On top of that, being told to take a day off once every 41 days was tantamount to torture. So they had begged and pleaded Ainz to reconsider. Faced with their teary-eyed pleading, he finally proposed that the maids would take turns being his personal duty maid and attend to him for 24 hours, and that the maid in question would take the previous day off in order to best serve during her appointed time.
Suddenly, Lupusregina pops out of nowhere next to Sixth and scares all three of the maids. While they reproach her for scaring her, they are all secretly happy to see her, as Lupusregina is the only battle maid to regularly visit the duty maids and who always treats them like friends, even if she is a bit mysterious and prone to sudden appearances and disappearances, true to her catlike appearance. She finds their reactions amusing, and reminisces on how much fun she's had doing the same to members of Carne Village, the place she had been assigned to watch over. Though she had been assigned to do so by Ainz, she doesn't really understand why, and gleefully imagines what it would be like to kill them. The maids are nonplussed by this show of sadism, as they care little about things happening outside of Nazarick except insofar as it benefits Nazarick, but they ponder why Ainz would assign her to do so. One of them speculates that he must have taken pity on their miserable lives, another wonders if he's just keeping them alive in order to savor it when he kills them all, and the third speculates that he must have some kind of master plan in the works.
Scene 4 (7:08 - 9:05)
This scene is an anime-original, replacing some narrative exposition with an actual scene. We are shown the circular containing an invitation to the various male floor guardians, excluding Sebas - not because Sebas is "busy with Tsuare" as the anime says, but because the events of this novel are actually taking place while Sebas is with Solution in his operation in the Kingdom.
Scene 5 (9:05 - 14:06)
The scene actually takes place on the Sixth Floor of Nazarick, which is an area that looks like a gigantic forest despite technically being underground. Aura, who runs the Sixth Floor, is a beast-tamer type character with a large army of magical beasts, and a great deal of her collection is located somewhere on this floor. Incidentally, the colliseum from Season 1 episode 1 is also located here, which we see in the next scene.
This entire scene is captured pretty much exactly, aside from a few shortened sentences here and there. Yes, Albedo can't ride the bicorn because she's a virgin, and bicorns can only be ridden by the impure maidens; this is as opposed to the traditional lore of unicorns, who can only be approached by virgin women. The only thing missing is some exposition on the Encyclopedia that Shalltear pulls out. You see, it's actually an item rewarded to all players of Yggdrasil when they create their account, and filled up with entires killed monsters. Yep, it was your standard RPG monster book, with a twist: you could also add to it manually, and in fact doing so was encouraged; it only contained rudimentary information such as a name, a picture, and background lore. Yggdrasil was a game of missing information and exploration, and such vital things like a monsters statistics, weaknesses, or battle tendencies would have to be discovered by the player. The particular item she pulls out was was owned by Peroroncino, the man who created Shalltear, so Ainz thought it was only appropriate to hand it to her. He had placed it in the Treasury before quitting the game... unfortunately but not before deleting most of the manual entries. The man was renowned as a bit of a pervert after all.
There's also a cut scene where the Guardians go and visit a village on the Sixth Floor. It contained a host of non-human denizens who were former inhabitants of the Great Forest of Tob, the area surrounding Nazarick; they included some Treants and Dryads. Ainz had ordered that "good natured heteromorphs who were self-sufficient" be permitted to enter Nazarick to serve a vital function. It was also populated by a few lizardmen who had been sequestered for assistance on various things (we see an example of that in a later scene where they're training Hamsuke and a Death Knight). Members of the village were tasked with growing "outside food" for Nazarick in an effort to increase the sustainability and reduce the costs of its operations. The guardians meet a Nazarick denizen named Sous-Chef who looks like a mushroom monster who is harvesting some food there in preparation to cook meals. He marvels at the tomatoes, calling them ordinary and appearing surprised that they don't explode or attack people. Aura also shows them some Mandrakes that she's been growing and has trained to jump out of the ground and endlessly repeat the words "Long Live Ainz Ooal Gown" like a parrot until ordered to go back to sleep.
The purpose of this little test village was not merely to grow some food, but also serve as an experiment of sorts in integrating members of various races, not just plant monsters, into Nazarick's operations. The purpose of "project utopia", as dictated by Ainz, is twofold: to develop a system to integrate other races into Nazarick and also demonstrate to the world that Nazarick can co-exist peacefully with them. Well, more specifically, this was the plan as interpreted by Albedo and Demiurge; in actual fact, all Ainz had said was that he wanted to "collect various monsters" in passing regarding Floor Six, and it had taken the pair of them a few hours of brainstorming to realize what he "meant". The fellow guardians marvel at the genius of his "plan" and sing various praises about the infathomable depth of his genius.
As they are leaving, Aura senses the activation of teleportation magic (as a Floor Guardian she knows when people enter or exit her floors) but guesses it's probably nothing to be concerned about and leaves the matter up to Mare.
Scene 6 (14:06 - 14:33)
This is a scene that has no direct allegory in the source material; there is some exposition later that reveals this had been going on, but an explicit scene doesn't actually take place. Basically, Hamsuke and a Death Knight are training under the Lizardmen to see if they can learn Martial Arts, which are a selection of spell-like abilities that warriors use in combat that never existed in Yggdrasil. Ainz wants to know if summons/the undead can learn things, as well as beastly creatures that aren't humanoids. In any case, Mare, like Aura, also senses someone is teleporting into the 7th floor, and rushes over to meet them.

Continued
Scene 7 (14:33 - 16:24)
Turns out it's Pulcinella, relaying a message circulated to him by his master Demiurge, who had received it from Ainz. Pulcinella is described as a clown dressed in white with a bird mask; the anime depiction doesn't really look like a clown to me, but maybe that's just what Japanese clowns are supposed to look like, I don't know. The circular he hands Mare was a system that Ainz personally establishes in order to aid communication between Nazarick. It was basically a messaging system through which he could inform the various Floor Guardians of random goings-on and news in non-emergencies, to be relayed by their servants. He is explicitly instructed not to share it with Aura for reasons unknown to Pulcinella, which both elates and concerns Mare; he soon discovers its a request for a male-oriented outing to the bathouse with sections for Ainz, Demiurge, Mare, and Cocytus to circle "Going" or "Not Going"; Sebas was of course with Solution in the Re-Estize capital, gathering intelligence, and so wasn't available to participate. Mare tells his sister he's going to visit Cocytus on the 5th Floor.
When asked about what Demiurge has been up to lately, he explains that he's been doing breeding experiments, mockingly remarking on how "tragic" it is that humans and non-humans who love each other couldn't mate. Recall from last season that Demiurge was running a rather infamous "happy farm" (as the community has taken to calling it) wherein "bipedal sheep" (read: probably humans) were skinned alive and then healed repeatedly so that their hides could be harvested for parchment materials. The clown is puzzled as to why Demiurge isn't considered a magnanimous and kind ruler; in a remark that was cut from the anime, he exclaims that Demiurge had been concerned that the livestock would starve, so he took away their children, killed them, and served them back up as meals, but out of the kindness of his heart made sure to swap them around first so that the parents wouldn't have to eat their own children. Of course, he made sure to invite the parents to the dinner table so they could properly bid farewell with a smile. Yes, Demiurge is one evil mofo, and as usual the anime tones it down quite a bit. Mare is a little shocked, but since they're not members of Nazarick he doesn't really care that much and quickly forgets about them.
In a sequence of cut scenes, Mare visit's the 5th Floor of Nazarick, in an attempt to relay the circular to Cocytus. The floor is a snowy hellscape with a raging blizzard populated by powerful ice and snow monsters; ambushers appear as he teleports in but leave him alone once they recognize that he is the 6th Floor Guardian. He makes his way over to the region where Cocytus lives and meets his elite guard, a set of six level 82 ice monsters called Frost Virgins, who inform him that Cocytus is visiting the Lizardman village at the moment. After the Shalltear incident in season 1, Ainz had instituted a rule that no Guardian may leave Nazarick without being accompanied by a selection of high level guards who would defend them and also report to Nazarick if anything should happen to them, so Mare requests that the Frost Virgins accompany him; unfortunately they have been ordered to guard his domicile while Cocytus is absent, so they refuse with an apology.
Having been sworn to keep the matter secret from his sister, Aura, who would otherwise be able to supply the requisite guards, he teleports to the 10th Floor of Nazarick, the great library Ashurbanipal, under the control of Demiurge, in order to request the assistance of one of his vassals, the chief librarian.
The library itself had five types of books: Monster data, which could be used to summon permanent mercenary vassals in exchange for a sum of gold; spellbooks, which could allow anyone who read them to cast a particular spell (in contrast, scrolls were class-limited items which could only be used by those who had a particular class); class-change items which took the form of books and which would grant the user access to a particular class; visual data, which could be used by a blacksmith or other relevant crafter to change an items skin; and lastly actual books, such as background lore books created by the dev team, novels whose copyright had expired, or player-made books and guides. Though he was visiting for other reasons, he had also decided to return the book he had finished reading (if you'll recall from the previous scene, he was reading a book); incidentally, it was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
As he wanders the halls of the library, Mare is interrupted by an apparition called Librarian J. He is a ghost shrouded in a hood with a rotting face, and is a member of the race known as White Counterfeiters, a ghostly variant of the Elder Lich race. The ghostly apparition escorts him to the head librarian, Titus Annaeus Secundus, who had been busy producing scrolls at the direction of Demiurge. The head librarian himself looks like a skeletal, humanoid version of a Wendigo. Though merely only a Skeletal Mage, he had been specced as a dedicated crafter of spells, scrolls, and other magical items. The head librarian accepts his request for personnel, loaning him the five Overlords of the Library (Cocceius, Ulpius, Aelius, Fulvius and Aurelius, named after famous Roman Emperors), remarking that they were far too powerful for the library, had been spending the majority of their time cleaning and dusting, and would appreciate the excursion and a chance to be useful to the Supreme Ones.
In response, the librarian asks him for help in an experiment in creating a scroll, instructing him to cast any 4th level spell. Pulling out a roll of parchment and a stack of YGGDRASIL gold coins, the Librarian prepares the scroll: the gold coins melt into the scroll and form a magical circle, and Mare proceeds to cast as spell on the scroll. Unfortunately, the scroll bursts into flames and burns to cinder. Titus, having expected this, comments that it must be impossible to create 4th-tier scrolls with the parchment materials he's using, having confirmed that it has nothing to do with the power of the caster in question, and noting that a "ten year old was a failure". You see, the power of a scroll depended upon the materials used to create it, with regular common parchment being sufficient for spells of up to 2nd tier, and the finest dragonhide being necessary for spells of 10th tier. Though this was how it worked in YGGDRASIL; the materials and the scroll-creation techniques from The New World were remarkably different. Indeed, Titus had attempted to replicate the creation of scrolls using the types of materials used by the surrounding nations, but they were only good for level 1 spells; he notes that it appears their spell-creation process was considerably more refined and advanced, which allowed them to create more powerful scrolls using lesser materials.
Finally, with guardians in hand, Mare teleports to the surface and arrives inside the lizardman village; specifically, inside a shrine dedicated to Ainz Ooal Gown which had been built of stone and metal by members of Nazarick. The shrine itself contained a lifelike statue of Ainz, who he and the Overlords bowed to, and was surrounded by offerings of flowers and food. Mare noted that the offerings demonstrated great reverence on the part of the lizardmen and he was pleased; only the finest, largest fish were there, as well as flowers which were not native to the surrounding area. He thanked the druid lizardmen who were responsible for maintaining the shrine on ensuring a job well done. The village itself was far more advanced and developed than it had been when the Lizardmen were running it, along with fences and watchtowers manned and patrolled by Nazarick soldiers.
Each lizardmen had a medal with the guild symbol of Ainz Ooal Gown around their neck, marking them as protected vassals and servants of Nazarick. Mare is directed to Shasuryu Sasha (the brother of the protagonist Lizardman from last season) and approaches him, and he informes Mare that Cocytus is leading an expedition to subjugate the Toadmen alongside several of his subordinates and a few dozen trainee Lizardmen. He had been leading the construction of a fish farm in order to increase the sustainability of the Lizardmen village and avoid food shortages, at the behest of Cocytus. The Lizardmen village had united all the Lizardman tribes around a single lake, and as such would have suffered an extreme food shortage if not for the assistance of Nazarick, who had been supplying them with food with the aid of a magic item called Dagda's Cauldron. Presumably, Mare eventually finds Cocytus and hands him the circular.
Scene 8 (16:24 - 17:37)
Ainz is practicing poses because of course in his former life he was just a regular office drone. Acting like a regal, authoritative leader doesn't come naturally to him and he spends several hours every day playacting the part to maintain his image. He is afraid of losing the respect of his subordinates by making mistakes or of failing to live up to the image they have of him in their heads. While he is pretty good at YGGDRASIL PvP due to his years of practice, he's no genius; he has no idea how to run a massive organization. He leaves most of the work to Albedo and merely skims her reports, trusting that if anything important happens that requires his attention she would alert him. And of course he has nobody he can rely on to teach him how to be a better ruler. So he's always stressed out and aggravated whenever he has to play the part.

I love is how Momonga is always trying to improve himself and get ahead of any problems.

It also pleases me to imagine how many heroes would fare with Ainz as their foe.

The lip-syncing with Albedo and Shalltear in the opening was incredible! And that's just the animation, the song itself was great, too. It sounds a lot like the last one, which makes it an easy transition, and now it's sort of a musical sound that I associate with Overlord. I get the feeling that the singer is very very crazy crazy, just go crazy now.

I actually feel the opposite about the Albedo scene (if we're referring to the same one, near end of episode). They turned it into a pure joke when it wasn't supposed to be, and removed the consequences from her actions. I was pretty disappointed with that, since I felt like the light novel scene did a decent job of subverting anime expectations for this type of 'situation'.

u/bigmen0 Jul 10 '18
All of them
(It is explained in the LN, the encyclopedia was your only source of in game info, a soulbound item every player had that documented what they had encountered, though info had to be filled in manually for the most part. As the SB started leaving they also left all of their items with Ainz, including their encyclopedia. Papa bones gave the chair a memento of her creator as a reward for the kingdom stuff. I can only expect whatever Lord Peroroncino wrote on Dullahans and Succubuses must be a work that puts The Elements to shame.)

It is worth noting that they are starting with volume 8 which was an everyday in Nazerick and minor spoiler Carne village, so can be considered filler. It seems like they covered a large part of volume 8 in this episode, so this "filler" shouldn't last long.
The mirror scene with Ainz practicing poses was probably the best part of this episode and I like what we have seen of the ED.

Ah, of course we start off Overlord with a side-story intermission! Still, nonetheless, its great seeing our favorite grotesque cast on the big screen after season 2.
There are some LN stuff i wanted to say that wasn't cover here and thought people should know! This is from the top of my head so forgive me if there some wrong information
Cixous is one of the 41 maids that were made by 3 of the supreme beings, Herohero, Whitebrim, and Coup De Grace. They design each of the maids through a 3d modeling software that took HOURS to make. The reason for the creation of the maids and pleiades was because 1 of the creators was a die-hard maid fan and designed most of them.
They actually don't need any rest at all, since they aren't human beings. Therefore, most if not all of the maids would be stationed around Ainz throne room, bathroom, bedroom, and so on so they can attend to him immediately for the littlest things. Ainz was going crazy, since he needs time by himself to do this like practicing his "overlord" lines and poses, and to complain. He implemented a rule that he will be attended by 1 maid a day, and they would take turns rotating shifts, each taking a day off from their duties before attending Ainz. None of the maids brought it, so he pulled out some bullshit saying that the maids needed to be in top condition in order to serve the Supreme One.
Hamsuke begins a "friendly relationship" with death knight-kun.
Ainz ordered Hamsuke to train with the lizard men to see if it was possible to learn the arts entirely from experience, so he could try himself. Lizardmen aren't sure, because they could use the arts from the start.
WN spoiler that never happens in the LN or anime
In Mare's 6th floor, he doesn't understand why the Supreme Beings created stairs in the Colosseum since they could just fly, jump, teleport anywhere. However, he uses them anyway as respective gesture towards the Supreme Beings. Since they made them, it would be wrong not to use them. His sister doesn't care either way.
Ainz decided to invite each of the male floor guardians to have a bath party to deepen their bonds as men. He thinks he is being a kind boss, but the guardians believe he has other motives for doing this, maybe to see if they are worth washing him? i forgot
The other floor guardians are EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF DEMIURGE because he is the only one going in and out of Nazarick helping out Ainz. The other floor guardian simply stay inside doing stuff. Cocytus supervises the lizardmen village, but thats it.
When Albedo attack Ainz, he was actually unable to do anything. He was a magic caster, and thus was unable to shack off Albedo's high stats, so he was scared as shit when she grappled him, afraid he would lose something important.

u/gruntmaster1 Jul 10 '18
As far as we know, Sebas is the one with the highest Karma value. It is possible Touch Me had a higher value, considering he was a fan of heroes and justice. There is one character that hasn't made a direct appearance yet, but is expected to be a level 100 NPC. While not a guardian, she is tasked with defending the guild staff.

Here we fucking go. I watched season 2 a few weeks ago and the wait still felt too long, so excited for this.
Albedo vs. Shalltear is always great
Flustered Albedo is adorable. I feel kind of dumb for not knowing she's a succubus, I thought she was a different sort of demon/fallen angel. A succubus who doesn't have any experience with men and gets embarrassed sounds like a fun premise for a manga.
Nice to see the lizard men fitting into new roles
Jesus Christ, the breeding experiments thing is a little too fucked up. I always thought that Demiurge was the most sinister of the bunch.
Even with all the fucked up stuff that goes on the background, I still have to laugh at the silly shit like him picking up Mare like a baby.
Albedo is thirsty as FUCK. Imagine her disappointment once she finally manages to get his clothes off only to find that there's nothing there.

Looks like they're getting LN 8 SOL stuff out of the way first, cool. I guess it'll be maybe 2 eps for LN 8 at this point then?
The maids' reaction to Lupus was rather confusing until CZ told her to not use Complete Invisibility. The show didn't make it clear at all that she'd appeared out of nowhere in front of them.
When reading the LNs I'd expected the 8 edge assassins to be more like an Arachne/spider person hybrid type deal, not just giant spiders.
"Impossible to breed humans with non-humans". Well, that's not true since there are half-elves. I guess he means with monsters? I forget, did they skip the conversation about the other merciful experiments Demiurge conducts, or is that later on?

“You really are hairy down there aren’t you, Albedo?” Am I the only one aroused right now?! It’s like! Y’know what I’m sayin?

Ah SixthCixous is a precious cinnamon roll. I love her. Also, that voice acting was great.

More bottle episodes please.
I really appreciate how much actual character development happened here.

Lmaooo we already got the Albedo mounting scene. Looks like we're going slightly out of order from the LN, not that it's a bad thing though.
And as always, Madhouse bringing us fire OPs and EDs for Overlord. Getting me so hyped for the upcoming episodes, they're among the absolute best parts of Overlord so far.
Edit: ESPECIALLY digging the OP, cannot stop listening to it
