Review of Overlord II

I've not read the manga so i had no idea really what to expect from this show for the second season, and well it definitely surprised me Now although the first season was better, I believe this season has done its purpose really well in terms of building the world and characters, and has got me really pumped for another season! Story - 8 You can't say they haven't tried do something interesting and change it from the normal It's not often I can say I watched an anime where the main character barely graces us with his presence yet i still thoroughly enjoyed the show In the first seasonwe were somewhat thrown into this world along with Ainz
Season 2 throws us a bit of a curveball and really focus on many of the side characters a.k.a Ainz minions/companions

One thing i really liked about this was that it allowed us to grasp the power levels of Ainz and his servants much better in comparison to the world around them
As the weaker of Ainz servants fights the stronger humans you start to see general power differences between everyone. (Long story short our boy Ainz just keeps on looking more and more OP)

Art - 9

Not much to say other than pretty beautiful, nice little mix of sword/mage fighting and all looked really sleek and cool

Sound - 8

The music pretty much the same as season 1
Everything fits the mood, but other than the song started during the credits of the penultimate episode none of them left an imprint on my mind, so nothing special

Character - 10

Now I love all this ridiculous character building they have done on just random individuals or groups around the world

They have a little warriors spirit saga with Cocytus and an odd little maid master gangs conundrum with Sebas, both polar opposite sort of feel but both really endeared me to these characters (specially Sebas)

A lot of focus was also put on the humans Ainz had met and their companions, and they added a nice extra level of nerves to the show, as for a change you were routing for someone who wasn't all powerful, and actually might lose

Also I do have to do a little shout out, I wont name any names to prevent spoilers but I love that there seems to be the making of a Yuno Gasai 2.0 in the overlord world now (I'm a sucker for a Yandere)

Enjoyment - 9

I love this show, and yes it's got a slight dark undertone to the anime but I think it's important when watching it not to take it too seriously
I don't believe this anime was made with the intention to be incredibly gritty and dark with a highly intelligent story
No, but it is exciting, sometimes shocking, and I am always on the edge of my seat just waiting for that next ridiculous thing to happen

Overall - 9

Overall I think they done a good job, although the story could be seen as a little slow i feel like the extra scenes had their purpose and helped to build the world
I really hope, now that they have laid the groundwork they can press on and make season 3 something special
