With the first episode seeming to set up so much, I hoped for a big payoff this week. It’s a pretty safe bet that a lizard woman whom a new main character expressed he wanted to marry after meeting her, was not going to go to war with his tribe all within the same scene.Īll in all this episode was an utter disappointment. Not only was this painfully not funny, it sucked the drama right out of the room. With eyes wide, he gets on his hands and knees sticks his mouth in the air and makes a sort of mating call. Zaryusu meets the chief, an albino lizard woman who looks more like a snake than a lizard.

It couldn’t have been a more awkward and weird attempt at humor right from the get-go. He went to the Red Eye village to make an alliance or declare war on them, based their response to an alliance. If there was a more ridiculous scene than the penguin butler then it was the probably one with Zaryusu. Yeah I Would Hide Too If I Were In This Episode Overlord II Is Off To A Rough Start If that ends up being the only payoff to all this, then these first two episodes were a complete waste, let’s hope that isn’t the case. Aura has found a village of Lizard men why not attack and destroy them?” Why do I get the feeling that the lizard tribe story only ends one way? With all of them together in one place just as Ainz Ooal Gown wants, so he can wipe them all out, thus creating a stronger larger undead army. With something, Albedo said in the final episode of season one, “A human undead body can only reach level 40. This is the first episode the main character hasn’t appeared. Also to let the audience know we wouldn’t see the main character Ainz Ooal Gown in this episode. That scene had little place or meaning other than the failed comedy effect. I get that they were attempting a comedic angle, a butler penguin trying to take over Nazarick with the power of… Cleaning. The scene with the assistant butler penguin wasn’t anything special. It’s slow, with a lot of build up, but little in terms of plot movement and action. The pacing of this season so far is strange. Hopefully, in the future, we will see more personality from the creature, maybe even its abilities in battle. That said, we didn’t get to see him do much other than walk around. A four-headed hydra-like creature that seems to be a companion to Zaryusu. This lead to the most interesting part of the episode. Slow Pace And Somehow Less Actionīrother of the leader of the Greenclaw tribe, Zaryusu Shasha has tasked himself with this challenge. It also leads to the plot point of attempting an alliance with the other tribes.

The backstory of the Lizard tribes great war was interesting enough. However doing it for two episodes straight, simply feels exhausting. There is nothing wrong with setting up future plot points and backstory for characters we have just met. Almost the entire episode was simply backstory and talking. This would be fine if it actually entailed something interesting. It was made to be all about the Green Claw Tribe.

Instead, it went in the complete opposite direction. I thought episode two would give us more action and the potential for more answers. So far they are light years apart in terms of pacing and interest. All I can go off in comparison is the first two episodes of season one of Overlord. Little did we know that the second episode would be almost entirely dominated by them.

OVERLORD II ANIME LIZARD FULL
It ended with a tribe and race full of new characters, the lizards. The first episode of season two felt like a setup for many things to come. The pacing compared to the first season feels off. Overlord II simply isn’t doing itself any favors.
