Review of Overlord II

So that's it, the story of Overlord is picking up speed and is finally good. I previously posted a review of the first season where i recommended it but was ultimately disapointed and cringed about most of it. Season 1 aged badly. Season 2 didn't. Beside the originality of the plot and the start of a real worldbuilding, this season hide in its corners a plethora of potential future conflicts. A banner torn on the ground, a creepy smile, names spoken, feelings shown. Tiny instance building hype and wonder, making you think and imagine. It's my favourite part of reading/watching fantasy. If you managed to get past thefirst 3 episodes of the first season and then finish the whole thing you MUST watch this season. Your suffering wasn't for nothing :p

Yeah, i really enjoyed these 13 episodes. Important to note that the source novel is pretty dense and slow paced so the anime leave quite a lot out (including characters and fun fight scenes). It help the pacing problem (which is better handled than in the first season) but you could want to check Djinnfor posts on the anime subreddit for a resume of what the anime cut. Or just straight go check the novel.
