You should definitely watch Overlord. I'm not going to spoil too much, since you already kind of grasped the point of the series, albeit with the wrong characters, but this series is basically the concept of "What if the villain was the main character". And it excells at that.
I really like that concept! Has a lot of potential for exploring issues with morality and what a villain would and wouldn't be willing to do! Reminds me of when I played an evil DND campaign and I didn't want to do evil things but my character would of - it's a real moral dilemma haha! Thanks for watching!!
she might regret watching it tho. the story can be depressing in some parts. for me thats what makes it great.
@@georgieegamesI agree with the OG come t same feelings
@@georgieegames If you could post your reaction to the channel it would be awesome!
@@georgieegames if you like the concept of this then u should also watch “Tensura” or That time I got reincarnated as a slime
Overlord is actually based on a series of light novels, and all of the pictures in the endings are drawn by the illustrator of those light novels! That is why they look so good, it is quite literally the style of the novels themselves!
not a bad thing that So-Bin is an amazing artist then :)
@@Moribax85 he is legend among the illustration artist community
6:14 "I think this character might be a little bit unhinged"
Oh boy, you can say that alright
The reason why is extra hilarious.
What do you mean~Su? Lol
Edit, if you know you know. Lupusregina best girl js
Just a "little bit" ;)
"Secretly unhinged" 🤣🤣🤣 I dont think the show is trying to keep it a secret
Overlord is one of my favourite series due to the world building and creativity from the writer. Side characters in this anime/novel/manga (the series started out as a Web Novel, then a Light Novel, got adapted into Anime that spans 4 seasons and a manga series) are fleshed out very well (well, most of them) and have their own spotlights (not having to rely on the MC to have screen time). It got inspirations from D&D (as the author proclaimed and you'd see the similarities in how the power system works), and is quite unique due to the MC being straight up "villains" to every other characters. Despite some terrible CGIs and animations (MadHouse least favorite child, unlike Frieren), it's still worth a watch and totally would see your video reactions.
One of my fave animes. It really explores the concept of "what actually is evil?" Ainz has a quote basically saying that what wouldn't you do to bring happiness and prosperity to your own people? In history many leaders have killed and tortured in order to bring prosperity to their own people.. it's definitely a morally Gray show
The illustrations for the endings are made by the actual illustrator of the light novels, So-bin.
The openings and ending are either made by OxT or Myth&Roid except for ED4 that is sung by Mayu Maeshima. She was the original vocalist of Myth&Roid before she left to pursue a solo career and was the singer for ED1, the current vocalist is KIHOW who sang ED2 and OP3. And both of those bands have the same composer and guitarist, Tom-H@ck.
It's definitely a great series! I'd describe it as a villain vs villain series.
with tons of innocents needlessly dying in the crossfire. i´m not sure why but the main character comes of as desultory to me. Like he doesn´t know if he even wants to be evil but just is because it´s convenient in the moment and he is afraid to be exposed as a fake or something. This makes him the weakest part of the show in my eyes.
@@Tyarrk Well, his racial trait means his empathy went out the window. His goal is to spread his (fake) name to every corner of the world, in order to draw out any who recognize it for what it is. World Domination just so happens to be the fastest direct way of achieving that.
Thing is, the show wouldn't work without Ainz. The theme at the center of it is loneliness. Ainz is introduced as the last man standing of his group of friends, holding out hope that they might return. He's surrounded by people with undying loyalty, love and admiration for what he appears to be but not for who he is. He cares for them, but more like how one cares for the treasures of their dead relatives. He doesn't relate to them.
For that matter, he remembers his friends more fondly and in an idealized way than what they actually were. Constantly at each other's throats. The reason Ainz was made leader in the first place is because they were all friends with him but not with each other, so he was put in charge in order to mediate, delegate and direct.
And the ultmate irony is that his quest is doomed from the start. There are no players left in that world, they all died. And they appeared periodically every few hundred years, but with the game he came from shut down, it doesn't seem likely any more will come. And on the off chance there ARE still some left, his subordinates have planned in secret to kill them before they can make contact.
"They look happy maybe there not evil"
Oh dear Lord Ainz, no one tell her! 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, Ainz is not really evil though, if anything, he's more neutral, it's mainly Demi and his direct followers and the worst 5 that are evil. The others won't bother with you if you don't annoy them.
@@anubis9151 Ainz *is* evil
@@anubis9151 Yeah, totally not evil, just... literally committed g**ocide... of at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who did nothing to him/them...
Overlord is one of those series where once you get into the rabbit hole that is its story, lore and characters you just can't get enough.
The anime does a good job covering the story, but there is so much info that is cut for the sake of brevity that the Light Novels are 100% the best way to experience it.
That being said tho, the anime is still worth a watch and both the opening and ending songs are *bangers*
Word of warning tho, the best way I can describe this series is as a "morbid comedy"
It isn't afraid to go *really dark and serious* , while also being a spoof of the isekai genre.
It puts a godly amount of effort into its world, just for the main characters to completely break it and watch as the chaos ensues lol
Its the *definition* of watching a D&D campaign unfold as a party of murderhobos stumble their way through the DM's carefully laid plans. (Which is extra fitting since the author based the story off the various D&D campaigns he never got to play)
This is the best explanation of this series I have ever seen
May I steal this to use to help others understand???

@@kdfirehero6922go ahead, its a comment on the internet so its free real estate anyway XD
YOUR MAJESTY IS JUSTICE AND WEAKNESS IS A SIN
I'd define it more as a new DM running an emerging campaing with newbie players letting the one guy on his friend group who's a dedicated D&D player transpose his fully leveled setting into his new world and just watching the chaos unfold as all his carefully laid plans and lore get stumbled over by an OP veteran gamer and the bumbling of his newbie players playing with fully leveled OP characters. The veteran is playing Demiurge, if there was some doubt.
Sasuga Filip
You definitely need to watch it. As reaction would be best😅.
Endings` art have been drawn by original ranobe`s artist.
One of the best anime franchises yet, in my opinion👌. 4th season is the best
There is no good or evil in this anime, just a lot and I mean a lot of various shades of grey.
Side note: The source material for this is actually a light novel and all of the ED Art is done by the actual novel's illustrator So-Bin.
Love a morally grey show/set of characters!! Also ohhhh that's interesting! The art is gorgeous will have to check out their stuff thanks!! 😁
agreed but that grey gets pretty close to black at times
Nah there is evil. But for spoilers sake, it's prob not worth going into detail.
No way. GG is definitely the most important antagonist here. After horseradish knows how many children are allowed to be skinned and enslaved (in the form of degradation of the mind to pigs in fact) I can't call them gray. They're blacker than black, I'd say.
there is no good and evil mfs when happy farms
"everyone is kind evil and moraly grey!" SHE JUST DISCOVERED REALITY!!!
How dare you call Lord Ainz the lord of calcium the skeleton man💀
Lord of calcium 😭 💀
im done!! "lord of calcium" now that is unhinged!!!!
When the second season came, I wondered why people liked this anime, so I started to watch the first season and it became one of my top anime lists, there are four seasons so far but season 5 will come the next year, but if I am wrong for what I hear about that it's going to a movie of it, but I hope that is a whole season of it.
It will not be a season, it will be a movie, because it actually takes place between season 3 and season 4, and the content is way too graphical for tv, we're talking AoT looks like a kindergarden play in comparison.
Correction to what Mori said.
The film takes place between the events of Ep7 and 8 of S4.
It was pretty noticeable when goin from 7 to 8 tht it felt like there was a time skip and so much things have happened.
Confused me into seeing if the site incorrectly titled the ep. lol
@@Daigon95 you're completely right, I forgot that season 4 starts with the Empire's vassalage and Ainz's trip to the dwarves.
@@Moribax85 that means we get to see guts and blood splattered everywhere?
@@motafu1 if they stick to what's written, yes, pretty much, along with a lot of other things.
Was fun to watch you speculate.
And the "everyone is morally gray" is pretty much spot on. There are plain good people in the show but like you said living in that world is pretty unforgiving.
Just a heads up if you intend to watch: Don't get too attached to anyone outside of the MC's group.
Fave anime of all time can't wait for more. World building is fantastic so if you watch it really have to pay attention there are also some that only in the LN were described and not much on the anime but I'm sure they'll just say it in the comments for you. Really recommend it if you like dark fantasy ❤
I really would like to recommend Overlord because it maybe only 1 anime i actually like to go back to and watch in again and again and again. Really good in most aspects and that why it my favorite. Might sound strange but maybe one of few anime that try to be cruel and not do it through mindless slaughter.Also it might be only in my opinion but it do good work in showing how medival been back then not that romantic like every movie or so do it look like.
I really like the opening and ending of Overlord, they are something special about this, i don't know how to express but it's really unique
Having 2 of the best Artists in the anime scene making banger after banger definitely helps. I mean the entire series is stacked with talent.
Music - Goated
Studio - Goated
LN Artist - Goated
Author - Goated
@@xArt_16 Studio not so goated, but if they brought some people that are doing Frieren currently to a new season of Overlord, it would be dope. But you can't just pretend that seasons 3 and 4 didn't had terrible animation at some points.
In my opinion the opening animations are a little low-quality; but the opening and ending songs themselves are ABSOLUTE bangers. Some of my all time favorite anime songs. OxT and Myth and Roid are legends.
The animations aren't low quality, it's just that the new gen anime have set higher expectations on people. The animation of the openings are very fluid and well made, just not in the way the newer animes are done
@@VBandit47 There is no reused footage from the show in any of the opening.
Firstly thank you for great contents i love to see you reaction ,secondly mc is the villian but a reasonable one. I highly recommand to watch the show
Haha yw it was requested but was an absolute PLEASURE as I now have a bunch of new bops to listen to haha it has really intrigued me imma add it to my list to check it it looks great
Hollow Hunger OP for overlord is indeed the best.
such a BOP have been listening to all these songs again today, the full versions are SO GOOD!
the anime is adapted from a series of light novels which are still ongoing, the LN use the ending style of art in the books, which is why its emphasized in the endings
ya the closing art work by So-bin the official artist of the novel volumes. he does great work and keep the same style , it fair solid and pretty.
also watch overlord it is great and should have a movie out to watch shortly subbed as well as season 5 hopefully soon.
Gloria Al Supremo Gobernante De La Muerte!!! El Rey Hechicero Ainz Ooal Gown!!!
hope you love it if you watch, it was one of my fav shows growing up and I still rewatch it sometimes
it's a shame how much content is cut from the light novels lol, I really love the world that was built in it
I've heard that the author of the novel the anime is based on was a huge D&D player, but since their group had no time to play, he became a writer, and wrote the Overlord. I'm not quite sure if the story is real, tho.
It's true
It is real
You grasped the vibe pretty well, I don't want to spoil anything cause I really recommend it, the world building is incredible.
When you said that Albedo (woman with black hair and horns) was thirsty, I immediately thought “Yeah, she’s thirsty. All seven oceans won’t cure her thirst.”
Surprised how much you guessed right! I love OP4 too!
Offtopic. There's a crossover comedy anime called Isekai Quartet which has chibified versions of characters from Overlord, KonoSuba, Re:Zero and Saga of Tanya the Evil going to school. Season 2 also had Shield Hero and Cautious Hero.
Everyone is evil in Overlord 😂
OverLord op 1 is still soo good!
really? that’s easily the weakest opening
My favourite anime of the decade 😊
Oooo that's HIGH praise I mean NGL I am kinda down for watching this it looks dope 🤣
Hopefully you can bear with bad CGI and enjoy it 😅
@@dragonboy6547 depends on the definition of bad haha a lot of my fave animes are old school so if it's more "dated" compared to stuff nowadays imma be fine 😁✌️
Definitely worth a reaction of the anime,
Or an off-camera listen to the Light Novel audiobooks
This can be taken as spoilers so I'll make space:
You can point at any character outside of the main cast and say "I like this character." And you will get giggles out of the whole community with the occasional "Do we tell her?" XD
Let's be real, a lot of us still like those characters, even if they meet a not so friendly demise. The characters are good characters, it's just that the universe is way dark, which is great.
It's a very slow start takes about 3 or 4 episodes to pull people in. It's also based on Novels so they skip over a ton of content. So you will have fans write entire paragraphs explaining hard to detect scenes, where things are hidden or things happened between events.
Interesting guessings，some of them are actually right though，not gonna tell which ones of them are right，but really impressive.
hehehehe yay 🤣 it's a really fun game trying to guess what a show is about just from the intro and outro lol it's even better when I watch the show and then it CLICKS and I'm like OH MY GOD 🤣 like with JoJo haha thanks for watching!
I agree with you that each opening and ending song is awesonme. There are no other shows where i like every opening and ending.🤩
Definitely worth the watch.you hit the mark by saying it's a fucked up world. The anime is based off a light novel, and there's so many scenes that aren't included in the anime because of how horrific they are. The studio that animates this still does a fantastic job adapting the horrifying parts that they can add into the show tho
Most people are sub elitists and prefer anime in the original Japanese, but I definitely recommend the English dub. There’s also the novel series and the English voice for the main character reads the audiobook, so you can’t go wrong either way
Honestly, Overlord is in my top anime without a doubt, it is the only anime that no matter how many times I see it, I will never skip its opening or ending, I have them all in my playlist xd so imagine, good video and I wish you all the luck of the world PS: you should react to Myth & Roid and OxT
Лично я считаю, что Оверлорд одно из единственных аниме, где все опенинги и эндинги шедевральны!
Albedo unhinged? 😂 if Ainz had a digestive system she would totally feed him something that had her bodily fluids as an ingredient, also Lord Ainz isn't evil in the traditional sense, but it gets to the point where everyone believes him to be playing 4-D chess while they're playing checkers while the truth of the matter is he's actually just playing Go Fish
Some of your guesses were right, others were close. Won't say which ones because it'd be better if you eventually watch it. At least I did enjoy it. I dropped S4 because of time issues, but now that you reminded me Overlord 's existence I'll defo binge it all from 1 to 4 xd
Same, gonna binge it hard-
All the art in the ending songs is by an artist called So-bin, who also made all the art for the source material (light novel)
U should react to all of BLEACH 's openings next
Overlord I'd possibly my all time favourite anime. It's by no means perfect but the depth of the world building, the topics the light novel covers and some of the sheer brutality that happens from people who honestly deserve it and some that don't. Casualties of war or political games, the twisted reality the MC find himself in and how he adapts to his new situation is, for me at least, peak storytelling
call tell you this we don't watch it for the animation and there is no good characters just stupid, bad and worse. also yes you did guess right demon lady is in love with skeleton guy but not bad in anyway. also blonde dude with the crown is probably the closest to a good guy.
Not every one is evil but most of the people in charge are various shades of evil or messes up in some way the there are just mostly plain good people but they are usually the people in the lower ranks and not making any massive decisions.
This series, at least the light novel goes into far more depth, many of these characters that you saw are the leaders of groups, and nations, they may be ‘evil’ like you said but many of them are great rulers.
The gold hair guy (‘evil’ guy), is the ruler of an empire, and is an ‘tyrant’ but his nation is one of the best nations to live in, he slaughtered so many nobles but most of those nobles were corrupt, the common folk have better lives compared to the other nations.
An amazing anime. And if you're someone that likes to get into the lore and secrets of a world, you will love this for sure.
the show is not secretlly unhinged, its quite open about it. also yes, you should wach this anime.
Ahh I the first novel I read
And I really enjoy the endings. It gives chills when they play during the episode
And yeah as others mentioned the art in the endings are from the artist of the novel.
but if everyone is evil, is anyone actually evil?
The 3rd opening has an awesome English cover by Amalee, you should check it out. Sidenote, she also voiced the white lizard from season 2 in the english dub lol
Ending 1(it was debute song of the band), 2 and op 3 are my Myth & Roid and ending 4 is by Mayu Maeshima former vocalist of myth&roid, you heard her in ending 1 as well Youjo Senki opening and re zero op 2 as well as op 4 which she performed after leaving band. Also, op 1,2,4 and ed 3 are by band OxT, guitarist of this band makes music for myth&roid songs
I loved your reasonings and reactions, it was great. I loved the book!! Recommend reading the book rather than the anime, there is a lot of omission that is a little hard on and heavy on the visual which can and usually is easily missed.
I recommend:
-"Ascendance of Bookworm" [Bookworm was reborn in a world without a printing press, very deeply outlined relationships, social divisions and various aspects of life of different social classes, it starts inconspicuously, but it is one of the best stories I have read in my life. Yes, I had to read the light novel too ;]
-"Golden Kamuy" [a pursuit of gold in northern Japan involving deserters, prisoners, and others, a strange mixture of humor and brutality, we often see events from different perspectives, a very colorful caste],
-"Detective Conan" [something for connoisseurs of crime mysteries like Shercolck Holmes, in addition to various cases, the main character tries to solve the deadly and mysterious "Black Organization" with the help of the FBI, CIA, Japan Keibi-kyoku, etc.]
-"Kingdom" [The best film adaptation of the old war, politics, strategy and tactics of the army, if you are interested in it, there is nothing like it. The main character, an orphan from the very bottom of society, rises in the military cherarchy, based on the historical realities of China's unification]
What I love about the Ed’s in this show is that they point out to things that are incredibly painful for the Mc and albedo ( the demon girl that’s in love) but are never actually delt with in a healthy way .
Also hint heavily to other characters unhealthy tendencies. Like the princess' and the magic caster's with the mask for the second ED. I think the third foreshadowing is more subtle. Like when you see half characters and of course the last scene is more symbolic than literal shattering.
oberlord is about the best anime series hands down fight me bro!
As enough people have probably told you, highly recommend watching the series.
Also, the art you see on all the endings were made by the actual illustrator for the visual novel. The person's name is So-bin. Definite masterpiece.
I mean she's not wrong about Albedo...
I'd watch a reaction, just saying.
this anime is best for world building and politic so we must read the subtitle much to understand
Overlord is my most beloved isekai fantasy anime.
Well, I gotta say. You're going to LOVE the purple haired dude and the older looking dude in the tux before you reach the end of what's currently out. This is a stellar series and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you guessed right... and what you guessed wrong. The anime is just great, so if you haven't started it yet, you should.
Overlord is honestly a masterpiece, whether you do a full reaction to it, or watch it on your own time, just do yourself a favor and watch it
The Overlord endings are definitely some of the best out there
I'm just happy to see someone genuinely loving So-bin's arts. I'm going to subscribe when you start watching this series 😂
This anime is amazing for people who want more of a story than most fantasy/monster animes provide. The story is very deep and takes its time but is extremely rewarding the more you invest yourself into it. One of my all time favorite animes and I can definitely recommend it
spoiler
There is no evil or good😅
LMAOO ur description of there relationships is sooo on point haha with just watching an ending, awesome reaction 😂
I love how you watched the endings right after their corresponding openings, instead of all openings then all endings. It feels out of order when reactors do that. You can really appreciate it better this way. You should definitely check out the series, love it even though its unhinged :)
I remember seeing season 3 trailer and just started watching it from beginning, best decision of my life ngl
Overlord os one of my favorite series, I prefer the books since they go so much more indepth for both character developement and worldbuilding compared to the anime and the anime has butchered a few of the best scenes from the books with bad cgi.
If i'm not wrong the reason all the endings have such good art is because they're all made be the artist "So-bin", they're also the artist that does the illustrations for the books.
i love overlord. really hope that its does not take 4 more years for the next season lol
Everybody is evil,
Oh are we in 40K now?
With a thousand pound and more I HEAVILY recommend you watch this AMAZING anime and if possible watch it and react to it I would love to see your reaction to this if you haven’t already watched it on your free time.
this is one of those shows that is as deep as you can see.... certainly closer to dark stories that will make you question few things :D the only thing is that the anime is a lot muted compared to the source so sometimes the scenes don't hit into the gut as much as they should. still it's amazing one to watch
Overlord is definitely worth watching
Yes please check it out. Lol for a second there I was so excited because I thought you were reacting to the first 4 episodes. Def a fun reaction to the openings and endings.
Heavily recommend this series. I personally have read the light novels to which this anime is based on three times already and the anime even more times than that.
"What if all of them are villains" like 95% of the main cast are the most villainous and it makes total sense knowing why they are that way, they all reflect their creators
You also need to see the opening of Tanya the evil anime openings and I think you would like Senion no hedai opening
love Youjo Senki, its one of my favourites
you missed out on the 1.5 op/ed, the op is a group of side characters singing one of the season one songs in character, the ed is Crazy Scary Holy Fantasy by Myth & Roid
Theres a line of thinking that Evil is going against what a group believe is justice, so everyone sometime gona be evil.
100% you should watch the series it is one of my favorites.
you are mostly right about the morally gray thing.
But there are some good people... They NEVER WIN though....
Like... IT NEVER ENDS WELL FOR THE LAWFUL GOOD CHARACTERS.
Georgiee has joined the dark side
Overlord 💜
Other openings you should react to...
-Sword Art Online
-That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime
-Black Clover
-Taboo Tattoo
-My Hero Academia
😁
Thank you for your interest in the Japanese anime "Overlord".
The ending art is a mythological design, as it is a setting picture (illustration from the original work), which is a long dark fantasy novel with over 10 volumes of original work.
The opening and main story have been adjusted for animation.
The English version of the novel is also available, so I recommend it.
17:55
Yaayy she got it
Omg, it would be so hype if you reacted to Overlord. All the characters are awesome, world building and lore is so well presented
sees a group of undeath and demons and zombies..."yeah maybethey misunderstanding"....sees a blond rome type avarage gyu.. "ohh he is evil i know it i see it"... yeah :D
Please watch Overlord I'm 100% sure you'll love it the worldbuilding and lore will get you hooked for sure
BTW all openings are about MC`s path and all except 3rd one are about feelings of women in the show, more focused on our main girl Albedo
ohhhh okay got it! Yes she did seem to the be focus on a good portion of the endings as well! that would be interesting if the ops focused on MC path and the endings on hers
N I C E
love your tooth gap.. have same and it makes you kinda unic and unforgeteble or how you writs this :D sry english not my first language :D just wanna told you this have a nice day :D
Thanks for the reaction and first impressions :D
It was fun to watch and I can only recommend the series. The series is based on the LN (Light Novel) and since this is unfortunately not chronological, but the series is, it will unfortunately take a while with the next season :(
A note on the optics of the EDs:
These were created by the (south korean) artist "So-bin", who also created the illustrations for the Overlord light novel :D
A note on the songs:
There are basically only 2 "groups" for all OPs and EDs. These are OxT (male singer) and Myth & Roid (female singer). They also have a "connection" to each other, as they are both "projects" of a certain gentleman. Unfortunately I forgot the name ^^
Listing OPs:
1. OxT (Clattanoia)
2. OxT (Go Cry Go)
3. Myth & Roid (Voracity)
4. OxT (HOLLOW HUNGER)
Listing EDs:
1: Myth & Roid (L.L.L.)
2: Myth & Roid (Hydra)
3: OxT (Silent Solitude)
4:. Mayu Maeshima (No Man's Dawn) [Singer from Myth & Roid, is no longer in the group]
You need to react to the anime. I love watching people react to it.
