Review of Overlord II

Overlord II is an improvement over Overlord. The plot seems to be going somewhere now. However it still suffers from the previous' shortcomings of dragging things out for too long. There are alot of time wasted focusing on non interesting characters. The first couple of episodes of season 2 starts off kinda rough by focusing alot of screen time on some lizard race. The overall outcome of that arc was satisfying but maybe went on for longer than it needed to. The main character is still continuing his plan of world domination by playing both sides of villain and hero. Pulling the strings from behind thecurtain. It is an intriguing plot.

The side characters are interesting when they dont take too much screen time. When too much focus is put on them it gets really boring and i start to lose interest. Nobody likes filler.

Im fine with them cutting to different characters. But the main focus needs to be the main characters. And this anime loses that focus way too often.
