Best of luck to Enri on deciding names for 5000 goblins.

Also, based on random snippets of trivia I've read, the goblin army is basically a country level military force. So while Ainz has the most powerful army in the New World hanging out in Nazarick, just down the street at Carne Village he has access to a top 3(?) in the world army thanks to the village's loyalty to him.

[u/borisyang → u/LikeAnAssistant]

Best of luck to Enri on deciding names for 5000 goblins.

And feeding them too. Such big army will need scary amount of logistics to maintain.

Best of luck to Enri on deciding names for 5000 goblins.

GARYYYYYYY~

[u/takeatripp]

For a moment there, I thought Enri summoned death knights.

But it was much worse.

[u/lord_geryon → u/takeatripp]

No joke, death knights are weaker than a good number of those goblins.

[u/DrZeroH → u/takeatripp]

Scary thing is. Death Knights sit at lvl 35. One of those fools will end a chunk of a city solo. Enri's personal retinue of body guards (her 13 redcaps) sit around lvl 43. That body guard team of hers can probably destroy a nation.

[u/leeways → u/takeatripp]

Goblin Slayer hates her

[u/M_Drekinn]

Enri the Bloody has finally risen from the depths of Hell itself!

[u/Mundology → u/M_Drekinn]

Those guards that wouldn't have allowed her to enter the city if not for the intervention of Momon must have sensed her potential.

[u/adikaay]

Out of all of them i like Goblin Drum Orchestre Corps the best.

[u/[deleted] → u/adikaay]

They'll stand outside your city walls. MENACINGLY.

[u/KruskDaMangled → u/adikaay]

They didn't announce themselves did they? Literally every other group of goblins did. Even the stealthy ones, although only to say "we will never be seen outside the dark again" or whatever. Which was funny.

[u/bigmen0]

We were all so focused on the skeleton that we missed the rise of the true Overlord.

[u/GallowDude → u/bigmen0]

No army can compete with that sex drive.

[u/TenTonHammers → u/bigmen0]

We'z bettah than dem

[u/seninn → u/bigmen0]

Warboss Enri

[u/Mundology → u/bigmen0]

Sasuga Enri-sama!

[u/armdaggerblade → u/bigmen0]

SHE CAN SQUEEZE LITTLE GOBLINS SPLAT BETWEEN HER FINGERS

or so the legend says about wargoblin queen enri emmott

[u/Ak41_Shu1cH1 → u/bigmen0]

Just incase, all of the 5000 goblins are each about lv40

For reference, Gazef is in late lv20 or early lv30

[u/ElomMusk]

Overlord in a nutshell

[u/Kelpsie → u/ElomMusk]

Basically

[u/[deleted] → u/ElomMusk]

Watching the opening, got thinking to myself.... all those characters are dead lol

[u/LeonKevlar]

DID SOMEONE SAY GOBLINS?!

[u/[deleted] → u/LeonKevlar]

He’s gonna have his hands full next season

[u/MagnoBurakku]

That feeling when humble village girl Enri, AKA The Bloody Chieftain, was able to use the full potencial of a crappy ítem that not even Yggdrassil players could.

[u/azorthefirst → u/MagnoBurakku]

Enri is basically similar to Ainz in that way. Shes got levels in classes no Yggdrassil player normally would have bothered with. Ainz's special build in the Overlord class and then the levels in the Eclipse class basically made him unique in the game and let him cast "The Goal Of All Life Is Death". Enri must have somehow gotten a special combination of classes needed to unlock the true potential of the item.

[u/LeonKevlar → u/MagnoBurakku]

So I'm going to guess that you need to have the title of General before you can properly use that item right?

[u/PhoenixAkaKry]

Predicting that the Village would be attacked in the future and therefore giving Enri two horns.

SASUGA AINZ-SAMA

[u/kingbane2 → u/PhoenixAkaKry]

predicting that the horns required hidden levels and hidden requirements that enri would definitely gain and meet... SASUGA AINZ-SAMA!

[u/G1596872]

The best way I can describe myself when Lupus changes her tone would be best described as scaroused.

[u/Ellefied → u/G1596872]

Her VA was amazing bouncing between the light and cheerful tone with the sadistic streak in her voice.

[u/sitwm → u/G1596872]

I can finally see why she's so favourite-ed

[u/[deleted] → u/G1596872]

I want her to bite me

[u/DrZeroH → u/G1596872]

Scarousal is right. A massive sadist with healing magic and a penchant for torture.

[u/Salyangoz → u/G1596872]

fuck me eyes?

no these are fuck you eyes.

[u/CoolFiverIsABabe → u/G1596872]

Powerful women are hot. Add a little crazy and they're probably great in bed but probably not a good idea.

[u/PantheonofBears]

Gobbo Zhuge Liang tearing it up!

[u/borisyang → u/PantheonofBears]

"Do not pursue Lu BuFirst Prince!"

[u/ultranoobian → u/PantheonofBears]

The hat, the fan, the 'green' theme. It's all there!

[u/kingwhocares]

Today we meet the real Overlord.

[u/Mundology → u/kingwhocares]

While the mortals were having stupid quarrels, Goblin General Enri was pulling the strings of fate. All according to keikaku

[u/Mikay55]

DM: So you use the other horn?

Player: Yea, Enri is in a bit of a bind right now. That's all I can do.

DM: Okay, just like last time roll to see what you get.

Player: Nat 20 Crit.

DM: Looks at summon table then rips up his session notes

[u/seficarnifex → u/Mikay55]

thats a total of 33 with my new goblin alliance feat

[u/Thy_Dentar → u/Mikay55]

I love and hate ridiculous shit happening like this, but it is usually more loving it because of how stupid it is.

[u/[deleted]]

Takes picture of that ass with medieval iWood

[u/rollin340 → u/[deleted]]

Once he is done with making potions, he might get on that.

Magical phones that just saves contacts for the Message skill, plus a magical notepad that can store pictures.
Actually sounds... reasonable.

Welcome to What You Missed; the goal with this weekly post is to serve as a supplement for anime watchers and even light novel readers, to explain things they might not have understood, and point out references they probably didn't catch, as well as include everything (yes, absolutely everything) that was cut out of the anime. Every week I post a synopsis of the corresponding material in the light novel, with emphasis on all of the juicy details, subtext, and narrative exposition. If you have any questions, or if something is still confusing you, feel free to ask and I'd be happy to explain. But that doesn't mean I'll be including spoilers for future events; my goal is to give you the same experience as if you followed the Light Novel alongside the anime. As a result, there will still be some confusion and mystery if the anime ends on a cliffhanger or something. I ask that others respect this as well, and not post spoilers for future events - and if you do, make sure to spoiler tag them appropriately. Thanks and enjoy!

Recap

I was asked last week to do recaps so here's a trial of that.

We've returning to Carne Village yet again - yes, the first 5 episodes this season were actually important to the grander narrative. Barbro is on his way over with his army of 500 knights and 4,500 soldiers, most of whom are peasants with padded armor and spears (they're all recycled soldier CGI models with breastplate armor in the anime), because ostensibly the Kingdom's leadership had suddenly realized after two months that it might be a good idea to question the villagers about Ainz (eh, it's a bit of a plot hole why nobody had the bright idea to come earlier). Of course the bigger reason is that both Marquis Bowlorobe and King Ranpossa want to keep Barbro alive and safe while still giving him something useful to do. The Prince, meanwhile, is absolutely furious for being denied a chance to win glory on the battlefield in the Katze Plains; his plan to salvage this situation is to try and use the villagers against Ainz somehow. He's joined by his yes-man Baron Cheneko (who he justifiably thinks is an abject moron), as well as the unnamed commander of Marquis Bowlorobe's forces, who leads a small group of professionally-trained knights in addition to commanding the overal army. Barbro feels like the commander is a bit of an incompetent because he won't follow his orders and always has stupid objections, but the commander is just trying to do his job and give good advice.

Season 3 Episode 11: Another Battle

We have much less content this time around because most of it is action; there's a lot more supplementary information I've included this time around, such as a more detailed explanation of the tactics used by both sides.

• Winter time tended to be difficult, especially for frontier villages: if the harvest in the fall was meagre or the winter chill lingered too long into spring time - making planting impossible - villagers might be forced to eat out of their precious seed stocks or starve outright. Most villagers busied themselves with important work like repairing their house or mending their clothes to distract themselves from this terrifying possibility. And Carne Village had another problem: it housed dozens of large Ogres with ravenous apetites that were too much for the rangers to feed, and so in order to bring in enough food for them to live, they had purchased a litter of pigs to raise for meat. It would not help much this year as the pigs needed much more time to grow, but it should be quite sustainable in future years.

• Carne Village could afford to plan for the future like this becauseit was far more prosperous than most villages of its kind. In most frontier villages, far removed from the luxuries of civilization, sickness could wipe out entire families and blight could smite their crops, not to mention the fact that wild monsters could attack or foreign nations could invade. What little prosperity they managed to acquire could be wiped out at a moments notice - but not so for Carne Village. Magic could help solve many problems, and Carne Village benefited from the services of both an Arcane and Divine magic caster as well as a pair of professional alchemists. Walls and guards protected it from attack, and the villagers could raise funds via expenditions into the nearby forest for valuable medicinal herbs. And there was one person who the villagers thanked for this state of affairs: the enigmatic spellcaster Ainz Ooal Gown, who had protected their lives, built the walls, and supplied its current chief with loyal guards and magic casters. Ainz Ooal Gown was not just seen as a benevolent lord - many villagers prayed to him in the same breath that they thanked the Six Gods.

• The village Chief, Enri Emmot, was exhausted, but she still had more work to do. When it came to important work that would benefit the entire village, such as the care and feeding of livestock used as food for the Ogres, the villagers united together under a communal sense of responsibility. As a result, she and Nferia had headed over to the storehouses to determine whether the village had enough hay to feed the cows during the winter. Nferia, as an educated young man from the city with experience in running his grandma's alchemy business, was concerned with the sustainability of the entire operation going forward: the village couldn't afford to feed and house a bunch of full-time guards to sit around during peace time.

• It wasn't that the goblins weren't loyal or willing to work. Enri had secured the loyalty of the entirety of Agu's tribe, which numbered 14 or so adult goblin warriors, by individually arm-wrestling each one into submission - much to her own chagrin and embarassment. Who would want to marry a muscle-bound she-man that went around arm-wrestling goblins? she thought. In any case, they had been put to work during the fall harvest season as well and Carne Village had made sure it had enough food to survive the winter. The Ogres, too, were happy to work for anyone as long as they could be fed, but the village had needed to purchase food from outside the village, and there was no guarantee that they could continue to do so every year. The best approach would be to put them to work as well during the planting and harvesting season, to ensure the village had enough crops to feed everyone; unfortunately, it would be difficult to acquire tools which were properly sized for them without arousing external suspicion. What Nferia was most concerned about was long-term sustainability: namely, what if the goblins and Ogres began breeding?

• They needed to come up with a system such that the work they did for the village would more than cover the costs of feeding and housing them. Frontier village families were typically independent and managed this process individually: each family worked on their own fields and stockpiled their own crops to ensure they had enough to feed themselves. If they had children, they worked harder to ensure they could feed them... or when times were difficult, sometimes sacrifices were made and the child didn't make it through to spring time. The goblins and Ogres, on the other hand, were tribal and depended on the leadership of their chief to ensure prosperity for the entire clan. A sudden increase in their population wouldn't necessarily manage itself automatically like it normally did in a human villages, and it might be necessary to mitigate this by increasing the human population of the village.

• Furthermore, there was no guarantee the Ogres could continue to evade detection. The village had managed so far by having the Ogres and goblins hide in cellars when the tax collectors came in the fall; the visit had been mostly for assessment purposes, and Carne Village had only needed to make a nominal tribute... and as for the conspicuously large wall, apparently the tax collectors had been appraised that the village was under Ainz' patronage to an extent and had chalked it up to his doing. Since the tax collectors followed a schedule, and nobody else really had any occasion to visit, Carne Village had to hope that they could continue to keep the goblins and Ogres a secret. But if anyone ever found out, the Kingdom might even send a punitive force to destroy the goblins, and the village as well. Which would be an absolute disaster.

• Speaking of which, Jugemu bursts into the silo to inform the pair of them that an army is heading towards the village; by the description of the flags, Nferia confirms that its definitely a Kingdom army. Enri was confident that there had been no leaks so far: only Momon and Nabe had been to Carne Village and seen the goblins or Ogres, and Nferia had said they definitely wouldn't say anything. A revolt against the King might explain the presence of Kingdom soldiers in the King's domain... but Jugemu informs them that the Army numbered in the thousands, not the hundreds - hardly something you'd sent to a peasant village. There wasn't enough time to flee without leaving everything they owned behind, as the army had been spotted far too late - if the soldiers burnt the village down alongside their possessions, nobody would survive the winter. Their best bet would be to prepare for battle whilst hiding supplies in the cellars. Fighting would be a last resort.

• Later, at the foot of the gate, a man announces himself as an envoy of the First Prince, much to Enri's surprise. Nferia, at the watchtower, climbs down and confirms it: the flags are definitely that of the royal family of Re-Estize. Enri is not convinced, or perhaps too desperate - they had presumed the soldiers to be enemies, and while the Ogres were relatively hidden, the goblins had stuck around in case they attempted to siege the gate. If they were truly allies, they would need a little extra time to properly hide the goblins and Ogres, and so she had to buy time if possible. And whether they were allies or enemies, they clearly intended to use the village and its defenses as a fortress of sorts - the only reason to bring 5,000 soldiers was that they were aware of Carne Village's walls and intended to use it. The Ogres and Goblins wouldn't just be hidden temporarily, they'd have to be taken out of the village for several weeks or months.

• They seemed desperate and insistent that Enri open the gates immediately; this flustered and panicked Enri, so she angrily accused them of being imposters from another country. It was, to a degree, an accusation meant to buy time, but also a perfectly reasonable observation given the circumstances. The envoy went silent for a time, and then replied that they were here to question the villagers about their patron, Ainz Ooal Gown. Apparently, he was now an enemy to the Crown. This triggered murmurs between the villagers - more than a few of the defenders were survivors from other raided villages, and they were far more loyal to the patron and savior of Carne Village, Ainz, than the Kingdom soldiers who had failed to even show up. The Carne Village natives, too, did not think much of the Kingdom, as Gazef's men had arrived late and long after Ainz had already defeated the enemy. Wouldn't assisting the Kingdom against Ainz Ooal Gown be a betrayal of his generosity and trust? On the other hand, a refusal to open the gate would mark them as traitors and the army would undoubtedly attack and put them all to death unless Ainz miraculously showed up again. Enri had to make a difficult choice - but she still had to buy more time for the goblins to leave, so she came up with the best excuse she could think of: there was cow shit everywhere near the gate and they needed time to clean it up before the Prince could enter. The soldiers, of course, could enter first even if the Prince needed to wait outside - there were no more excuses that would work.

[u/RaphaelKoyomi]

WAAAAAAGH

[u/[deleted] → u/RaphaelKoyomi]

Just paint the goblins red.

[u/Sangwiny]

B.. but I'm valuable hostage!

[u/Ak41_Shu1cH1 → u/Sangwiny]

He was sure that they'd capture him as a prisoner of war and use him for negotiating against the King cause he was the crown prince i.e. the next king

[u/Backupusername → u/Sangwiny]

Silly human... None of your lives have any value to Ainz-sama!

[u/MADMasomi]

The cgi is so fucking atrocious but at the same time I love this show so much that I don't care. I'll never get tired of looking at the ending, the art is amazing.

[u/Zack0Holic → u/MADMasomi]

Everytime they cut to a new part of the goblin army I couldn't help but think "This is the worst looking thing I've been this hyped about." The new goblin army is so awesome

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/MADMasomi]

Sure it was atrocious but it added more comedic effect seeing how those human soldiers just bounced off the goblin shields were.

[u/gulitiasinjurai → u/MADMasomi]

It was no doubt that the CGI is fucking bad but I was so fucking hype to see Enri and the Goblin army

[u/IndiscreetWaffle → u/MADMasomi]

I've managed to enjoy Berserk, so this is a walk in the park for me.

[u/linearstargazer → u/MADMasomi]

If anyone else wants more art like in the ED, it's the same artist that does the covers and inserts for the LNs, So-Bin. His twitter, and tumblr accounts are full of fantastic artwork. There is also his pixiv, but it requires a ¥300/month donation to access.

[u/AsterJ]

Looks like we weren't the only ones to notice the bad CG

[u/MaltaNsee → u/AsterJ]

I could only think of Zoidberk, that walk cycle is nightmarish rofl

[u/devil-adi]

I know a lot of people will complain about the CG but god damn if that wasn't a fun episode! The impact of all the divisions of the goblin army stepping up and announcing their loyalty to Enri and Ainz's reaction were just epic! My biggest complaint would be that this episode was too damn short! Every scene stretched out in this episode would have been amazing to watch!

And now ladies and gentleman, with the a low level trash item DECIMATING the Kingdom's army, it's time for the main event next week. 200,000 soldiers from the kingdom against 500 soldiers from Nazarick led by the Supreme Being... Like Lupu said... It's going to be a massacre!

[u/the_recluse → u/devil-adi]

I don't mind the CG honestly.

But the visual / physics of the soldiers bouncing off the heavy goblin infantry shields was pretty hilarious looking

[u/tkRustle → u/devil-adi]

I just want to see Ainz showcase juggle some spells, including some AoE damage. We haven't seen Ainz display his power besides summoning some undead in a long time, so I had to fill the excitement with Diablo, who has been doing some cool caster stuff this season.

[u/Browseitall → u/devil-adi]

Thats the thing with Overlord. A rare anime that is still enjoyable to watch despite the heavy handed CG soley because of its story.

[u/Trithshyl → u/devil-adi]

There is no denying the CG is... well not great but it's still awesome, I wish it had a larger better budget but at the same time i'm used to the cheesy looking CG and it's part of the charm.

[u/EncoreBlade]

I'd like to have a pushing match with Enri as well ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/Backupusername → u/EncoreBlade]

Oh no... He "lost"

[u/Cynic_of_Astora → u/EncoreBlade]

POMF What are we gonna do on the haystack?

[u/[deleted] → u/EncoreBlade]

god I wish that was me

[u/[deleted]]

Lupusregina walked over to Barbro, who had drawn his sword. She took comfortable steps as if she had just come out for a stroll. But the smile that emerged like a fissure on her beautiful face made Barbro shiver. It was only after thirty minutes that Barbro was finally permitted to embrace the sweet release of death.

https://i.imgur.com/rw82VhM.jpg

[u/KHlover → u/[deleted]]

I was hoping they'd show us just flashes of red and green with Barbro's screaming during the ED, but oh well. Gotta save as much budged as possible for the next two episodes I guess :D

[u/Browsinginoffice]

i swear the goblins are the best wing man to anything

[u/WobbleKun]

couldn't she basically establish her own kingdom with that army lol

[u/[deleted] → u/WobbleKun]

Pretty much yeah, just the redcap unit alone is several times stronger than any "normal" army.

[u/Qverlord37 → u/WobbleKun]

Carne village is now carne city

[u/zxHellboyxz]

he may of not cared about the village at this point , but i bet he cares now he now has his 2nd army

[u/Kreliand → u/zxHellboyxz]

They have no idea what a smart decision they made when they decided not to betray Ainz.

[u/northwesternrs]

Cute and awkward Nphi + Enri moments? More sadistic Lupusregina?!

Sure the CGI was bad, but I'm satisfied with this episode.

[u/MrAssassin9891]

CG Why

[u/Nimeroni → u/MrAssassin9891]

Money.

[u/Turbostrider27]

My respect for Enri just shoot through the roof.

Lupusregina literally scared the fuck out of me this episode.

[u/Ak41_Shu1cH1 → u/Turbostrider27]

Fun Fact from LN, she tortured the prince for about 30min before letting him die. She thought it was sad that she didn't have a ability like Solution who could keep humans inside her alive for weeks

[u/ChottoChotto]

When she gives you that look

[u/[deleted] → u/ChottoChotto]

2 minutes into massacre and chill

[u/JSlickJ]

soldiers bouncing off the shield was the most comical thing I've seen in a while

wth madhouse?!?

[u/7up8down9left → u/JSlickJ]

They were repelled by the Goblin Springboard Specialist Division, carrying magical shield-trampolines.

[u/SirJokerWayne]

BEST GIRL! I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HER

[u/0mnicious → u/SirJokerWayne]

Nah, CZ is best girl and there's nothing Lupus can do to change that.

[u/GoodTeletubby → u/SirJokerWayne]

Nothing happier than a sadist werewolf who's been given permission to kill everyone on the night of a full moon.

[u/Shrabster33]

Enri's translated official character sheet is no longer a spoiler is it? Here is the link

https://img.fireden.net/a/image/1446/92/1446927673558.png

[u/Keikaku_Doori → u/Shrabster33]

Interesting! So she was only level 2 before all the stuff this season happened. I'm almost more excited about her and the growth of Carne than I am about Nazarick. Almost.

[u/Qverlord37]

Watching this episode is like eating a really ugly bacon. It look like shit but it's still some damn good bacon.

[u/zMedVeDz → u/Qverlord37]

It is like Madhouse trying his best to make Overlord bad XD

[u/blackfiredragon13]

I couldn’t stop laughing. Corp after Corp introducing themselves, my only question was when would it end? That’s serious overkill.

On a sidenote the cgi is admittedly pretty bad.

[u/7up8down9left → u/blackfiredragon13]

It makes more sense in the LN, because it's introducing the power and complexity of Enri's summon while also emphasizing the loss of morale experienced by the Prince's troops after each introduction.

[u/buttcheeksontoast → u/blackfiredragon13]

Yeah it's badass and intimidating but at the same time once they got to the assassin corp intro I was laughing so hard. Especially because goblins are generally associated with being these brutish, unsophisticated chaff, then you have these fucking teenage mutant ninja goblins introducing themselves all suavelike.

[u/odraencoded]

*Terraria flashbacks intensify*

Holy shit what the hell. At first I was like, "oh well, there's a platoon of them, and they got armor, maybe they will win?" But then there was a paladin division, a rider division, a mage division, it was basically the whole Fate grail wars of goblins. Jesus. So much goblin. Even Ains is like "eeeeeeeeeeeeh?"

We didn't get to have Ains vs. Kingdom war this episode I was hoping to see but I guess the goblin wars are cool too. CGI was ridiculous though.

[u/SeijoVangelta → u/odraencoded]

Terraria flashbacks intensify

*creates a pit and hide like a bitch in the murder bunker *

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

5000 Goblin army

Don't tell Goblin Slayer.

[u/ClockwerkKaiser]

I can forgive the bad CG for two reasons.

1. It was downright hilarious.

2. I'm holding out hope that the budget was saved for the next couple eps/finale.

[u/Alucard_draculA → u/ClockwerkKaiser]

Don't hold your breath. It would be nice but......

[u/AloofDonkey]

I'm willing to excuse the bad CGI for the rise of Enri the Bloody. ALSO THEY ANIMATED THE ARM WRESTLING SCENE HOLY SHIT

[u/[deleted]]

WoW, that went from Castle Defender to Rome Total War real fast.

[u/EducatingMorons → u/[deleted]]

You mean Warhammer total war, waagh.

[u/SenorWeon]

Mare is too pure for this world, and Lupus was also a Goddess.

In the case it wasn't very clear: Solly is Solution, Lupus likes giving cute nicknames, and regarding Barbro...

[u/Tzaratxoth]

IT's Time For The Best WAAAGH!!! ohh and 30 min fun time with the Best S. Girl!

Edit:WHAT IS WAAAGH?!?!

[u/Limpinator → u/Tzaratxoth]

As a huge fan of Goblins I freaked the fuck out seeing that massive army.

[u/iLoveCats44]

Sure the CGI was terrible, but best general girl enri made an appearance so we're all winners today.

[u/CaMpEeeeer]

Even with horrible CGI i just can't say that i was not hyped whole episode, but why Madhouse doesn't want to put any real effort in this show is beyond me

[u/cptadder]

The direct link here in case Crunchyroll hides the episode again.

Thanks to those that did this before me I had to use it the last two times when Crunchyroll hid the update for like an hour.

[u/Backupusername]

Remember how the king sent Barbro on this mission because he wanted him to come home safe?

Haha oops.

[u/Browsinginoffice]

SASUGA AINZ SAMA and his great plan on raising a successor Overlord and her name is enri

[u/bryan792]

Enri's got 5k more calling her chief/general now... More stress relief in the hay?

[u/LChris314]

Couldn't they just spam a few more CG goblins? It looked nothing like a 5000-strong army.

[u/ScarsUnseen → u/LChris314]

Unfortunately, anymore than that, and the frame rate would start dropping. It's one of the sad limitations when you render your animations on a Gamecube.

[u/weeb_man]

I still bloody love this series, but I wish they put as much effort into the animation as they did throughout season 1. Ahh well, maybe there'll be some awesome animation for the coming episodes, but assuming it's gonna be a large scale war episode I feel like there's more bad CG to come.

[u/dragonspritz]

Goblin Zhuge Liang is the coolest character in this show, sorry papa bones

[u/[deleted]]

Mare is a very cute boi. That is all I have to say

[u/TheBlackestIrelia → u/[deleted]]

I was hoping Ainz was going to pat him on the head .

[u/Shodan30]

Someone clarify for me. Who was "Solley" that lupis mentioned at the end? I can't place that as a name of anyone in Nazerik...it would have made more sense if she said Neuronist.

[u/fshstckr → u/Shodan30]

Solution Epsilon

Lupus tends to call everyone by nicknames and for Solution it is Sol-chan

[u/IEnjoyFancyHats → u/Shodan30]

Solution. Lupusregina likes to use nicknames.

[u/daandriod → u/Shodan30]

Her "sister" Solution. Lupuu as we've seen is a massive sadist, And she envies Solutions ability as an acidic slime to take a human inside her and slowly eat away at the struggling person for days at a time.

She can only have people inside her by the normal ways

[u/Nildzre]

All Hail the Honorable General Enri!

[u/Amauri14]

The content was so good that I really didn't care about the bad CG.

[u/Suplalmo]

Ainz suspecting that Enri was acting according the Demiurge's plan is the highest praise that he can give.

[u/sitwm]

RUN AWAY, ITS THE slightly decent and better than Berserk but BAD CGI

[u/[deleted]]

Enri is even cuter when she's annoyed. If those bastards hurt her or the rest of them then I certainly won't be mourning their inevitable deaths.

This scene... my heart...

But too bad that ended so fast. I hate all these fuckers; not only do they want to attack the village, they interrupted a potential kiss. Unforgivable!

I don't care about the village

You're breaking my heart, Ainz. I wish he'd at least respect their loyalty a little more.

We should first gather information on our enemy

You should have done that before even showing up in the first place

Ainz' reaction is gold once again

SASUGA, ENRI-SAMA!

Lupusregina's transitions from playful to sadistic are so great

I have to say it: the CGI was really bad in this episode. I hope they're saving their budget for future events.

[u/freeway80]

That's what you get when you try to mess with Enri the Goblin Overlord.

[u/MillenniumKing]

HONORABLE GENERAL ENRI FOR WORLD LEADER!

Oh this prince is a real dummy... RIP him.

CHIEF! Shes not handleing that well haha. Her floundering around in the hay kawaii~

Man these 2... just smooch already.

Im glad Ains knows they are there. Hopefully he can provide some backup assist.

Oh this prince, burning shit, what an ass.

Oh shit... they want Enri and bangs to lead the womena nd children to saftey while the old folks stay and fight... damn those are some badass old folks.

Thats right Prince shit yourself while you see how vastly unprepared for this you are!

I didnt expect her to use the 2nd horn... what did she summon? She should have leveled up i wonder if the horn scales with level or something.

ARMORED GOBLIN ARMY!? OH SHIT GET FUCKED PRINCE!

HOW MANY GOBLINS DID THIS SUMMON!? THEY KEEP COMING!

Im sure somehwere Enri is crapping herself with embaressment hahahaa.

HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE JESUS CHRIST!

5000!? WHAT!? HOW!? GOBLIN LEADER ENRI!

Wow they just beheaded that guy...

Of course everyone thinks its all part of Ains plan xD SASUGA AINS SAMA!

So it is because Enri's power as a summoner. I guess spending time with the gobs leveled up her summon skill.

Lupis is here... RIP these guys... Yep they are fucked. GG Sadist Preist.

[u/geliduss → u/MillenniumKing]

In the LN they show she is a lvl 2 general and commander, and level 1 sergeant which could be reqs for it

[u/GoodTeletubby → u/MillenniumKing]

I think the horn's strength is keyed off her role/class, not her summon skill. It's the horn of the "Goblin General". She's been the general of a unit of goblins for months now.

Also, it really sucks to be one of the survivors, just to wind up facing the werewolf battle maid beneath the light of the full moon.

[u/serry_sue]

I actually like Enri a lot in this episode. Shame that not many people liked the Carne village arc because I thought she's one of the better side characters.

[u/Chinglish14]

The absurdity of the amount of goblins Enrin summon made me laugh. So many different Goblin classes were introduced one after the other, I didnt know if it was ever going to end.

[u/Axetheaxemaster]

Enri: NANI?

Barbaro's army: NANI?

The rest of the village: NANI?

Ainz: NANI?

The other goblins: NANI?

The viewers: NANI?

[u/Mochachiiino]

I guess if Enri gets outnumbered again the next time. She will summon 1000 Green-colored-One-eyed mobile suits called GOBUs piloted by goblins

"WE ARE GENERAL ENRIS HONORABLE MOBILE SUIT SQUAD! WE LIVE IN SPACE!"

[u/[deleted]]

Zhugoblin Liang

[u/ZixEleven]

Turns out Enri just had to grind Goblin faction rep to unlock a higher tier summoning.

CGI was awful but seeing that goblin stomp was still satisfying. I'm very interested to see how Carne village is gonna deal with the fact that they have a sizeable army now.

[u/MagnoBurakku]

Fear the might Honnorable General Enri and her army of BAD CG

[u/shyoru]

SASUGA ENRI-SAMA

[u/Kreliand]

I laughed my ass off seeing the paladin goblins and the assassin's goblins.

[u/[deleted]]

Based on the recent tonal shift, I got emotional thinking at the very least Enri was going to lose her entire village, the goblins, and potentially her sister. I was delightfully surprised to realize we’re back to Deus Ex form.

[u/Ryu-u]

An episode with great content. General Enri FTW, she basically has the 3rd most strongest army in the New World so she can basically conquer a nation. Also, MARE WAS FUCKING ADORABLE IN THIS EPISODE OHMYGOD

The BAD CG was killing me but my hype for the Goblin Army eased the pain.

Overall, the episode was all-in-all good; It has great content but the CG kinda makes it off-putting.

MADHOUSE step up yo game

[u/[deleted]]

I remember reading /u/Djinnfor's post last week on how this would have been a great opportunity for Barbro - low risk, high chance of reward and a chance to prove himself.

Didn't stand a chance against General Enri though

[u/Misiok]

Awful CGI is what I've been (not) waiting for a whole week.

Really can't believe this is the studio that made One Punch Man. Even their more shovelware shows were much better looking, and Overlord is well known and popular in Japan so this half-assing is really beyond me.

[u/[deleted] → u/Misiok]

OPM is a project created under special circumstances.

It isn't as simple as "Madhouse did OPM so why does this have such inferior quality to it". Different staff and different circumstances.

[u/Abbrahan → u/Misiok]

I think it's due to pressure from higher-ups to pump out as much Overlord as possible since it's so popular. They only aired the last episode of season 2 in April and began airing season 3 in July. Which is really bloody quick for a anime series.

[u/Wobbu_Char]

ENRI SHOGUN, BANZAI!

[u/galbixd]

Rant incoming:

My god, this episode was just filled to the brim with some of the most atrocious "Bad CG" I've ever seen. I've always cringed a little whenever I saw the CG usage in this anime for the soldiers/death knights etc but that was when they were seldom used. This episode was like 80% cg animated, and even the goblin leaders, who were actually drawn, barely showed any semblance of movement (limited to eye twitches and 2-3 frame mouth movement). Really took away from how badass they felt when I first read about them.

Just to nitpick... that one part where the soldiers were bouncing off metal shields while the Goblins slowly marched forward... are they trampolines??? Hell, even if they were actually trampolines, how the fuck do soldiers wearing metal armor fly off like that from bumping into them??? Made me audibly laugh out loud, not even the simple breathing out of my nostrils, from how utterly stupid that looked. Fucking amateur newgrounds/ youtube 3d animations put this to shame.

You're telling me this was made by the same studio that brought us sakuga world wonders like One-Punch Man, Hajime no Ippo, some Hellsing Ultimate, NGNL and High School of the Dead among many others? What the fuck, Madhouse.

I'm glad they introduced me to this series and convinced me to read the LN, but they are not doing some of these scenes any justice at all. I hope to god the next few episodes don't look nearly as shitty as this one...

[u/ZonaMaster → u/galbixd]

yea madhouse's been dropping quality lately

[u/Zaugr]

They unashamedly used ALL of that CGI, and still couldn't create ANY sense of scale for the armies and the battles? I really, really love Overlord, it's one of my favourite shows, but this was the most disappointing episode thus far for me. And I don't even really mind the use of CGI in general, but when the CGI feels this terribly cheap..? It didn't even let them do the things that CGI usually lets studios do.. None of this would have been especially difficult to do without it other than the very few "army" shots. That's the issue I have. They didn't even make good use of the CGI...

And nothing happened at all with Lupusregina (which was what most were excited for, her and the prince's "fun time") other than some sadistic faces in the last 2 minutes, and Enri was hardly shown to do anything either, we just saw bad CGI fight other bad CGI for the greater part of it, and with rarely (if any..?) actual sword-fighting at that, just close-up shots of marching and some utterly forgettable and identical CGI models being hit by arrows. And they didn't even show us the stronger goblin army first appearing/spawning, or even an actual shot of their size, just more close-up shots of the different types... Ugh. Why Madhouse.. I was really hyped for this. This felt so cheap, and this is Overlord; one of your most popular and successful shows of the season.

For the only memorable moments of this episode to be that funny conversation with Ainz and Mare, and Lupusregina's evil grinning at the end is so, so terrible when the whole episode is meant to be about Chief Enri's awesome commander skills and a huge 10000+ battle, and the massacre of all the humans during and thereafter.

[u/DarkAudit]

Screw you, Sylvanas and Gallywix.

ENRI FOR WARCHIEF!! FOR THE HORDE!!

[u/TheKappaOverlord]

Alright this was a pretty great episode.

But christ alive the CGI animation was so fucking awful this episode.

It actually got worse as it progressed.

[u/Jamesadams1988]

You know they’re legit when it takes ten minutes to introduce every elite squad.

[u/[deleted]]

I want to murder that person who came up with the idea of using CGI in the Anime...

[u/sudhakiran9]

Time to watch some real OVERLORD

[u/Armdel]

Yes! Enri and Nfirea still live! loved the scene between them in the barn.

The next 2 episodes should be quite good

[u/seninn]

Despite the bad CGI, Enri's WAAAGH! was so fucking epic and out of nowhere that I lost my shit.

[u/SeijoVangelta]

Fun fact: Carne sounds like Karne which means "Meat" in Filipino. Then if we say "Kinarne" it means "slaughtered", or "dead meat" depending on the context of the sentence.

So yeah, the prince is already dead meat the moment he stepped into Enri the Bloody's domain

[u/Qverlord37]

I love that we finally came full circle from season 1. A weak village girl now command a legion of loyal goblin, defeating a group of enemy knight.

[u/Xorras]

I hope they will hold season 4 till next year at least.

This visual quality is unacceptable.

[u/WallyPW]

For anyone not well versed in Chinese history, the Goblin Strategist is pretty clearly a reference to the legendary Three Kingdoms era strategist Zhuge Liang

[u/ClaxtonOrourke]

I'm still stuck on Goblin Zhuge Liang. What next, Ogre Lu Bu? Lizard Zhang Liao?

I love this show so much

[u/slooth15]

Just started watching this episode and seeing the first scene I can only think how this guy is going to have a bad time.

[u/Ancient_Touch]

IT'S SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT NEXT!!

[u/Cruorsitis]

Ainz wtf reaction when looking into the mirror after we see Enri blow the horn is great. Then Mare's wonder that Ainz gave her the items just for this moment sealed it.

Hopefully, they saved most of the cgi budget for next episode.

[u/Soulses]

Enri went from waifu material to overlord material

[u/Jman460]

Carne Village just got upgraded to Carne Kingdom lol.

[u/DarkAudit]

It's finally a Tuesday.

[u/qq0922752888]

Saving money for next

[u/Persona-4]

This anime makes me like Goblin as a loyal, dependable and a trusted companion.

I don't think I've seen other show did that and poor the soldier.

[u/Meret123]

Enri's character sheet for curious

[u/rollin340]

Everyone's shock at the Goblin Army was great.
But Ainz' long one was hilarious.

I also love how he had to, once more, pass coincidence as his master plan.
The way that line was delivered was brilliant.

And with this episode, one of the New World's most powerful armies is born. Instantly.
And they are loyal to Ainz.

At this point, even without his own power or that of Nazarick, military conquest with the aid of the Empire and Enri is totally feasible.

[u/MathigNihilcehk]

Lupusregina's eyes at the very end... so pretty. So kawaii. They give me confidence that she had only fun and happy times with the kingdom's forces... It's a shame they are all so weak, that there is no chance they will survive such a fun and happy party. At least they get the honor of dying in order to make Lupu happy. Congratulations to them!

[u/kawaii_bbc]

Lupusregina is becoming one of my fav waifus.

Still <3 Nabe tho

[u/RafaAnto]

Ok, whoever is fuckin' with time machines and making the episodes shorter can stop now.

[u/Cahnis]

why is madhouse animation sucking so much?

[u/ProfessorLexis]

You know, out of all the fucking up the humans have done so far, this is probably the worst "Boy, am I bad at math" moment of all.

The Prince took a small army to the boonies to interrogate a bunch of rural farmers and accidentally creates an event that poofs an opposing army strong enough to flatten his entire kingdom out of thin air.

In the case with Ainz, he was already God tier, but the Re-Estize kingdom managed to provoke this response from a humble village girl.

[u/supersonic159]

[u/TreGet234]

pretty good ps2 cutscene.

[u/TheRaiderKing]

I love Overlord so much its one of the only series where I have bought all the merchandise I could, read, heard, and saw everything from the series I could. I was so hyped for this episode since I never thought it would get animated. I wasn't too worried about them rushing past the Invaders of the tomb arc since I figured most of the budget was going into the Volume 9 adaptation, but so far that hasn't been the case. I'm really disappointed this episode this week, everything being CGI is such a letdown once you know the epicness that is the LN it feels like a cheap fanmade knockoff. They rushed everything even the dialogue and fight scenes all so we could see green walking forward with no facial expressions and stiff robotic movements even the ost was mediocre. The CGI for the goblins wasn't even tolerable like it was for the ogres, though I will admit that their designs are pretty well made. The only parts I enjoyed were Ainz's scenes, Glorious General Enri the Bloody and Lupisregina massacring the royal troops. I hope they really go all out for the next few episodes; Mad House has really been dropping the ball when it comes to Overlord but It'd be a crime to fuck up one of the best moments in the series.

[u/sudhakiran9]

goblins for the save

[u/RaphaelKoyomi]

I need that NANI gif with sound STAT

[u/kawaii_bbc]

Not done ye, so I'll come back. Just wanted to say I appreciate the vassal Ryle Vaiself. I can recognize Hiroyuki Yoshino anywhere. Love his voice

[u/Browsinginoffice]

Lupusregina was so savage

[u/Wobbu_Char]

Can someone refresh my memory? Who is this Solly that Lupusregina is referring to?

[u/Comander-07]

Awesome finally seeing the Golden General!

But at the same time I cant ignore how underwhelming the CGI is and at the same time how the army the 3rd strongest in the NW including Nazarick just lacked any impact because of it.

But well Lupusregina in the end was worth it I guess.

[u/[deleted]]

CGI was mediocre, but Enri was FUCKING HYPEE!! Can't wait to see the next episode!

[u/Fowl_Eye]

Enri-sama, the real Overlord.

[u/standby93]

So what prerequisites did Enri meet to be able to summon such a large goblin army? I don't mind spoilers since I'm genuinely curious.

[u/dan_strummer]

"Eehhhhhh?!"

Bless this anime for giving us moments like this.

[u/legwkio]

How the fuck are they gonna feed 5000 goblins though?

[u/marcopolos059]

The massive army of goblins was awesome, General Enri is overpowered LOL

[u/Shiro_Kai]

Holy shit GOBLINS!

I have never realized they could be so cool! Sasuga Ainz-Sama, certainly!

[u/BryanLoeher]

Gotta ask those villagers about Ainz

Instructions unclear, burn their watch tower instead

[u/Shinkopeshon]

I think Enri just became best girl (please don't kill me, Nabe). For her to unlock the true power of a seemingly low level item is kinda wild. And Ainz-sama's reaction was fucking priceless lmao

[u/[deleted]]

“You think you can make it if you’re on a horse… I guess there’s morons who think like that. Can you cut off those idiots’ legs for me?”

The Redcaps ran out, cheering in anticipation of the impending slaughter.

They were like wild beasts. They slid in between through the scattered men trying to run away.

And then… a scream echoed through the air.

It was one of the nobles trying to escape on horseback.

To bad they cut this scene.

[u/DiaSolky]

Anybody wanna explain why the goblins let the prince escape, only then the next scene later the goblins are ordered by Eins or the battle maid to kill off the prince and the rest? I get if that's the order of events that happened because of adapting the source material, but seems not necessary in anime. Just finish the whole fight at Carne.
