Review of Overlord II

Overlord II picks up straight where the first series left off. It continues moving in the direction of Momonga gathering information to increase his as well as his companions reputation in order to hopefully reach out to other real players from the original Yggdrasil game, if any exist that is. This installment takes a bit of a different angle in progressing though as Momonga does take a seat on the sidelines for the most part. Instead he uses his wit to try and gain following in effort to spread his influence and also gain more information at a quicker pace given what happened to Shalltear previously.He also takes this time to experiment with a couple different things all the while testing one of his companions.

Sebas (Not the one I referenced above) is sort of in the spotlight a bit this installment which is okay with me. Momonga sent Sebas out on more of a solo type information gathering mission. He finds himself in a city and while there Sebas gets involved in a bit more than Momonga probably would have wanted with an organization but he can't exactly help himself given that his creators personality is fused within him to a degree.

Through this installment we do get to see a bit of drama unfold and there is a good amount of action that ensues. I still enjoyed those aspects this time around. Don't expect any of it to be as action packed as what you would expect for the likes of a Shounen, mostly because this isn't technically one.

This installment has merit in my opinion. We get to see more of the basic NPCs take the front here and its nice to see some of that as opposed to the "overpowered" Momonga and friends pretend to struggle for a bit then just strike back and be done with ease.
