Review of Overlord II

The second season of Overlord is a tease for the third season of Overlord. World building, establishing various subplots only to forget about them entirely, and power fantasy abound. The story does a good job of setting up S3, but a bad job at being a good story in itself. The art is basically the same as S1, and is well animated. However, there are parts which are pretty obvious, low to middle quality CGI. Characters are a little more interesting than in S1, but fail to fully flesh themselves out. Lizardman arc ends too quickly, and there's not really a reasonfor the demon arc. The arc could have been condensed into two episodes.

It's a power fantasy that fails to create meaningful power. If S3 takes the many, many loose threads from S2 then that will be a hit, but S2 on its own fails to deliver.
