I think my favorite part of Overlord is how they are almost completely ignoring the whole "stuck-in-video-game" thing. Like I know in the beginning, he said that his RL sucked and chose the game, but after that its been all but completely dropped. Doesn't sit there trying to figure our what or why, or how to get out, or even what's happening to his body IRL. Its basically just, "I'm a badass lich lord now...LET'S DO THIS!"

Well not really,
i mean all that he does its to spread out his guild name, to see if there are other people in this world able to reconize it (in which case it would be other ppl like him, and would help him figuring out what happened).

I puit that on spoiler cause i dont recall if it was explained on the episode he took ains own goal (or w/e is spelled) name over momonga, or if its something i recall from the lightnovel.

What version of the show were you watching? I thought it was heavily implied by his statements that they were tools to get his name out there, not any sort of friend. Granted, I watched on gogoanime, so my translation might have been fubar.

Friends might be stretching it. But he told Clementine that he would be a hypocrite if he got mad that she murdered them. Then right before the end of the fight he says "oh by the way. I'm a hypocrite".

He also tells her that since she took her time killing the mage that he would take his time with her.

overlord so OP...

S0 we know that battle maids-some of the weaker "guardians" can use AT LEAST level 7 magic....

and the episode ends with the vampire guardian having revolted. this anime imo needs another season.. we have not even seen what he can do if he has to TRY...
i mean vs clementine, he just stood there...and squeezed.

I'm sure the "revolt" has something to do with the love rivalry between Shaltear and Albedo and it's not actually anyone revolting against him.

Either that or one of the other 41 has returned, someone that Shaltear has personal loyalty to.

They did something like that in the anime too, but that's what I meant by "almost completely." It is the over-arching reason that he's doing all of this, but when he talks about it inner-monologue style, its just about spreading his name, not following completely through to him getting out of the video game. It comes across like his goal is to build fame for Nazarek, and thatmightincidentally get him out of the game, rather than his goal being to get out of the game, and the fame being a means to do it.

Compared to something like .hack or SAO, it just doesn't seem like getting back to RL is anywhere close to the top of his priority list. And this Shalltear revolt is going to push it further down, unless Chysamere's guess is right and one of the other guildmates shows up.

So aside from watching pretty much all the great shows this season, I started watching "Actually, I Am" on a whim.

I thought I would stop after the first EP since I was worried it would be the standard Harem school anime but the damn thing keeps getting more and more hilarious as the season progresses. I just finished watching the chocolate and curry episode after watching Shougeki no Soma and I haven't laughed so hard at a show in months. They just do such a great job with the reactions and facial expressions in that show.

What a great season.

Been catching up on a few anime I hadn't watched. Gangsta was good. Rokka no Yuusha was better, surprised I missed it, it's turning into something great. Charlotte is... eh. Reserving judgement. Monster Musume is so bad it's hilarious.

next up is Akagami no Shirayuki-hime

Meh, Rokka has been going around in circles for a few episodes now. The setting is good, but the whole whodunit is really dragging for too long.

Good episode of Shokugeki today, still really enjoy the show. They did a good job with Tadokoro time to shine. Can't wait for next week though.

That was very personal the way he killed her for murdering the other party. Like very personal, when someone gets stabbed 20 times, when 2 would have sufficed.

Ha, I was about to ask about that. In other news, I really liked today's Shokugeki. Good for her.

Well, the latest Charlotte was an episode of Quantum Leap. At least it made me remember the show.

That Mountain priestess in Rokka is definitely a problem.

Lastly, seeing the demi-god as a woman scorned in GATE was amusing.

The constant laughing while she slaughters people, all the while looking like a cock-hungry girl? I can understand why.

The pacing of God Eater is confusing. They didn't show the episode 7 intro title screen until like 3 minutes before the end of the episode. Show started off exciting but the last two have been disappoint.

I think you're off. Maybe you're referring to the closing screen? The musical number happens right at 2:55 of the episode, just after he sees the girl that they turned away from the God Eater village.

World Trigger is like that as well, it has a short "how we got here" intro, then about half-way through the episode they have the musical intro.
