THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Mm, a battle of lizardmen. That was kinda thrilling tbh as the episode shows their physical capabilities.

The war drama is also starting to pick up more and I kinda like the way this episode is building up more towards its story. From Ainz's side, they've also been preparing to making their next move.

Action is intense, kinda got what I had expected especially by the Lizardmen.

I was expecting for them to end just right before Iguva shows up but they managed to adapt most of chapter 3 in a single episode. At this rate the lizardman arc should be over next week. :)

IT was some high quality stuff, those who crave action will definitely get it here.

Wish they used traditional animation straight through for the battle but oh well, it didn't look too bad regardless

I'm happy for the lizards though, I wanted them to win so that my boy can finally get married and smash lol

WN has Ains look just the same as Iguva, the appearance of a dried mummy...
LN changed Ain's look 'cause who don't like Papa Bones lol

Much better episode this week, with the battle between the lizards and the zombie army. The battle didn't seem especially high-budget or anything, but it did its job, and I'm sure the show has bigger things to come anyway, not least whatever happens next week now that Iguva has been defeated.

Still needs more Ains though.

I keep forgetting this is Overlord. As compelling as the lizard story is, I'm glad they didn't drag it out for much longer. I'm excited to see the other things that are going on in this world and Ainz' next move.

Tough cookie. Overlord has always been about world building and politics. Heck even teh attack on the village was laden with political underlying elements. Blame yourself for being an action junkie.

3 episodes in and almost no main character Screentime, as much as I love 10 episode animes, I have a good feeling the rest of this series won't be that much better with the shaky CGI, 6 second side plots, and half the dam cast away from Nazarick doing god knows what.

A lot of action in this episode, and it was pretty good (except the CGI).

Now that the lizardmen have won, hopefully Zaryusu can finally get it in and smash Crusch. They need to relieve that sexual tension between them.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

A victory for the lizardmen. I guess they deserved it but if Ains or one of the generals show up next they're in deep trouble. xD

Action was pretty good except for the jarring CGI at points.

Glad they're getting through the weakest arc in the Overlord series quickly. Next arc is where things start to really pick up and when Overlord goes from good to great.

Sidenote: I really believe that the anime adaptation should be enjoyed as a visual supplement to the LN, people who haven't read them are really missing out on some plot elements and character development. They cover the key points well enough, but things like Rororo's charge have so much more emotional depth that really can't be conveyed in anime.

Wow, they really rushed through this episode. I get why of course, there's bigger stuff to get to, but you could really feel the rush here. That bugged me more than the CG everyone's hating on...

I really wish volume 6 was out already so I could have more time to keep myself ahead of the anime o-O

Why did Ainz send Cocytus to kill the Lizardmen? I forget stuff easily so if it was mentioned in season 1 i forgot. Otherwise i either missed the reason in ep 1 or i guess we don't know yet?

As expected, this arc will be over in episode 4. Overall it was a decent episode knowing we only have 13 episodes and they can't go much deeper in Lizards' character developments, so they kept it brief. I didn't like the CG though.

Fine episode. Clearly Cocytus was being tested. If Ainz really wanted to kill the Lizard Men he would have done it much easier than that xD Not bad for a tribe of savages though.

Ok so we got into the battle but we still don't know anything else, like why Ainz is attacking them etc.
But i think that guy was right, Ainz is doing this for a whole reason and that's why he doesn't want his army to win.

We DO know why Ainz is attacking them. It was established at the end of the first season. Human corpses make for low level undead. Lizard men corpses on the other hand can lead to higher level undead.
