Review of Overlord II

I will attempt to keep this review as short and to the point as MyAnimeList allows. Season 2 (especially the first half of the season) was considerably less enjoyable than the original season of Overlord. One of the major issues with this season was terrible sense of pacing. Each half of the season feels like it should have been expanded into their own seasons (though, given how unenjoyable the first half was... maybe it could have just been excluded). The creators crammed too much into this season and did not properly develop ANY of it. This left all the charactersthat didn't exist in the first season to be very forgettable (which is bad since there is VERY little focus on the previously established characters... which are the protagonists of the story... or are they antagonists? I dunno).

In summary, if you haven't watched this anime yet, you can easily skip the first 5 episodes of the season (and may be happier if you do) and not miss out on any important information. And be prepared for they creators putting the pacing at ludicrous speed and leaving it there the full season. This is still an enjoyable anime (or half of it is), just don't expect anything ground-breaking.
