To be fair, the 70,000 soldiers was only the casting cost. Much more were killed. They had a x4 man advantage, and ended with maybe even, or less than the 60k the Empire had. And, need I remind with one spell, though admittedly he did speed up the cast time. Gotta love that 0 MP cost, though. Illa F'taghen?

I'm retroactive reacting. ignore me

That's not really bad news, if they wait for 3 years maybe they will finally be able to give us some Madhouse quality animation.

Ryuuji Gremory

sadly, the animation turn down a lot of the happenings, they make it far more childish and less violent, this is the reason is why i wouldnt like an animation of other novels or manga as re: monster, they tone down a lot

hey i got bad new! apparently the next season of overlord will be push to 2021. there not much info as of y! on the good side it give the autor more time to get new book out and i heard a rumor of possibly a new movie coming out in the future.

Natalyne Bolduc

Cameron Vigil

if you watched it on cruchyroll why are the subs fucked?

Loken

damn... I knew crunchyroll was a shitty website but that they actually delete negative comments is definitely hit a new low for them.

Silly Gazef, that's an INT weapon!

Yeah, I think Madhouse dropped the ball on this one. Here's a little taste from the LN: As they grew larger, and the earth began shaking under their thunderous hoofbeats, the soldiers’ hearts began pounding madly. Then, as their hearts felt like they would burst in their chests, the enormous silhouettes were upon them. It was like a dumptruck smashing into a swarm of rats. The soldiers of the Royal Army raised countless spears in trembling hands. But what use were they against the massive, solid bodies of the Dark Young? The spears snapped like toothpicks without so much as scratching the Dark Young. The massive bodies of the Dark Young trampled the Royal Army underfoot. Splinters from countless shattered spears flew through the air. Although they crushed the meaningless resistance that did not even count as resistance, the Dark Young of the Black Goat were merciful in their own way. There was no pain. There was no time for their victims to feel pain before they were squashed flat under the titanic weight of the Dark Young’s charge. The spear-wielding soldiers did not even have time to realize that the pikes they were holding had been pulverized by those massive bodies. All they saw were black shadows falling over them. They screamed and they screamed and they screamed. Gobbets of meat flew through the air. They had not come from just one or two people, but tens, hundreds of victims. They were stamped flat by the enormous hooves, and thrown— no, flung away by the waving tentacles. Be they patricians or plebeians, now they were all the same chunks of bloody flesh. Some of them had families in their villages. Some had friends left behind. Some had people waiting for them. Once they were ground into the mud, none of that mattered any more. The Dark Young treated everyone the same way, bestowing death upon them all. Surely they must have been satisfied after crushing countless humans underfoot, but they showed no signs of stopping. The Dark Young began to run. They ran on. They did not stop while in the midst of the Kingdom’s forces, simply running on. “Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” “Abbaaaaaaahhhhhh!!” “Stoooooooooooooop!” “Save meeeeeeeeeee!’ “Noooooooooooooooo!” “Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!” The screams rose up every time those gigantic hooves came down. It blended with the sound of humans pulping under the Dark Young’s mighty legs, and the sound as they playfully batted humans away with their tentacles. A sound which men had never heard before went on and on without end. Trampled. What better word was there to describe this scene? Several people desperately thrust their pikes forward. The Dark Young, whose bodies were massive and who had no intention to evade the attacks, were hit solidly by the points. However, the pikes could not pierce deeply enough to cause harm to their slab-like bodies. They were masses of iron-hard muscle sheathed by thick, rubbery skin. The Dark Young did not mock their futile resistance, but simply charged forward. Before the soldiers realized that their fatal resolve was meaningless, the Dark Young had already reached the centermost portion of the Kingdom’s army. “Run away! Run away!” They heard the shouts from the distance. In response, all the soldiers began to flee. It was exactly like a swarm of spiders scattering in all directions. But of course, the Dark Young were much faster than human beings. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat.Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat. Splat.

Which is why i dont read the source material ahead of a show. I did it once with harry potter and halfblood prince and the movie is pure trash to me until today... Im not going to read overlord ahead because i know there will be more to be disappointed about once it gets animated

Yuion

Yeah, honestly, I am really disappointed as well, the picture given with the Light Novel is gruesome... See, this is what we wanted, and we got none of it... <a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/overlordmaruyama/images/e/ee/Dark_Young.png/revision/latest?cb=20150726055747" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/overlordmaruyama/images/e/ee/Dark_Young.png/revision/latest?cb=20150726055747</a>

you read it here first deebee when gazoff is dead he will resurrect him i think there's no doubt

This overall was another read the LN with your Imagination moment. I'm an avid reader of lovecraft. That coupled with the scene paints a magnificent mind image. Something that would always be impossible for the anime which unfortunately never has had a great budget history

Sean Nelson

one piece and sds season 2 when

ikr

No no it's not a blood lust, it's a blood "fetish", right DBG? haha xp

It looks like MadHouse had lost a lot of People, i watched some older MadHouse Anime from 2012-2015, like " Irregular at Magic High School" and other such titles, they are known even back then for not making another Seasons even if a Anime brings enough Money, but the quality was still very good, compare it so some newer titles like Overlord Season 3 and you could think, they had a lot of Problems nowaday.

Mathias

Lol we all knew it would be bad CGI I enjoyed the episode still. The characters reactions were so worth it lol

Sean Nelson

Yeah you're not wrong to be disappointed, DBG. Personally, after reading the LN I pictured this more like something out of the Eclipse from Berserk, where the blood was running knee deep.

hmgirlpopuri

I'm a bit disappointed with how big the splat meme got. It's great for the book, but I knew they weren't going to be able to pull off the same splat effect in an anime form. Maybe if they focused on blood splatters as the goats stepped on them, that could have been nice, but also focusing on the bad cg has problems of its own.

I will say here what I've said other places. I feel that they were only giving the budget for one more season. They instead went cheap and made two. Which is why season three was so close after season 2. It was all from the same project with the same budget. They sacrificed much in quality to give us two seasons. If true I give the showmakers credit not madhouse (itself which could have just budgeted both) but the actual people involved

Sean Nelson

Glad I didn’t let the novel spoil it for me 😭 all this negative energy 😭

Cleven Anthony

I read the light novel till chapter 13 and this isn't even close to what i imagined.

ShadyDemoness

I too was greatly dissapointed by the lack of gore and the bad animation of this episode.

ShadyDemoness

i figure mad house cant afford this kind of stuff so it was CG no blood cuz its cheeper and easyer to do. i dont mind it but i wish it was better.

SladeTheBlade

As a long time LN reader I was pretty disappointed as well, I usually don't mind the CG that much but some of that looked straight up awful. Lack of blood and gore as well, as well as shortening of some aspects of the scene I really liked. I was hoping they were saving their budget for this episode but evidently that was not that case, that goo part specifically was like PS2 era graphics lol

That was me too I was super confused 😭

Cleven Anthony

Me seeing the notification: Wut? 🤔

So hype for this ! First time I’ll actually be watching it with you blind watch since Hulu couldn’t get the episode. Thank you !

Cleven Anthony

Poor Soldiers of the Kingdom and the Empire ^^ That freaking Super Tier Spell, i think if he would had direct the attack a bit more to the left, he would have hit the Main Group of the Army and he killed way more with that^^ Iä Shub-Niggurath: Ainz uses this super-tier spell to summon a black cyclone and kill nearly everything in its field of range. Additionally, the fallen victims caught in the cyclone are also sacrificed in order to summon monsters over level 90 known as "Dark Young." The number of summoned Dark Youngs is proportional to the total number of sacrifices. For Ainz's record, the highest number of Dark Youngs he is able to summon successfully in the New World so far was about five at most. Trivia about Dark Youngs The Dark Young are based on H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos' Outer God Shub-Niggurath's children. The Dark Young act as proxies for Shub-Niggurath in the accepting of sacrifices and spreading of their mother's faith across the world. Under normal circumstances, every summoning of the Dark Young would only produce one entity, which was itself a cause for celebration to players. While being able to bring out two of them was considered a rarity, Ainz broke the record by managing to summon five Dark Young, which is the highest number known so far. However, the Dark Young would eventually disappear after a set amount of time passes. According to Princess Renner, the total amount of deaths during the Katze Plains Massacre was said to be over 180,000 ( Of 240.000 Soldiers that the Empire had there). 70,000 came from the initial casting of the super-tier spell to summon the Dark Young and another 110,000 from their rampage. When Gazef used two Martial Arts, 'Sense Weakness' and 'Possibility Sense', he came to learn that his slim chance of victory over the Dark Young are impossible, and was unable to detect any weaknesses from it. It is unknown whether the Dark Young truly had no weaknesses, any which appeared could not be seen because of the overwhelming difference in strength.
