O.O That's all.:Overlord
Greetings, earthlings! The first day of November is here, which
means it’s time for a new month of new reviews.
And today’s new review is on a new show that came out earlier this year. Let me just say, you won’t believe what you
see. Believe me. Just take a look at the picture. I couldn’t even come up with a catchy
title. Anyways, let’s get started on
this week’s review on the summer 2015 hit, Overlord.
In 2126, a player on the popular
Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Yggdrasil cherishes his
last few moments as the game’s server is being shut down. The player, known as Momonga, quickly
realizes that something is wrong when he still finds himself in the game once
the server is shut down. Not entirely
sure of what is going on, he starts to dig for information about the world of
Yggdrasil to hopefully find the answer to the bizarre situation. However, with the help of the guild he runs
within the game and his own remarkable, God-like abilities, he certainly doesn’t
have anything to worry about. Still, his
search for information takes him beyond the walls of his guild’s headquarters
and into a war between battling kingdoms as well as into the hands of an unknown
enemy, but again, that shouldn’t be a problem for Momonga. Seriously, look at him!
I’ll admit, I’m not that very far
into Overlord. Still, what I’ve seen so far has been pretty
interesting. That being said, I give Overlord four out of five stars. What probably grabbed my attention the most
was animation. Overall, it’s pretty well
done, especially with Momonga. Again,
look at Momonga! Story wise, I can’t
really say much. Considering I’m only
halfway through the series, there’s still a lot that’s not known. But I will say it is pretty interesting so
far. So in general, it’s pretty good.
But, despite how “pretty good” it
is, there is one problem I did find. Well,
it’s not so much a problem as it is something to keep in mind. It takes some time for the story to pick
up. It’s not by much, but some viewers
may be a bit impatient with the starting pace of the show. Still, I wouldn’t let that discourage someone
to watch the show. Again, look at
Momonga! A show with a main character that
looks that epic and have the power to match would have no point of existing if
you weren’t watching it.
I only have three words: Look at…you
get the idea. Anyways, if it sounds of
interest, Overlord is available to
watch online on Funiamtion and Hulu. As
far as a dub goes, it may be a possibility considering its rights are owned by
Funimation. Still, that doesn’t mean
that I know for certain if there will be a dub, but it’s something to keep
posted on. Anyways, that’s all I have
for this week. Be sure to stay tuned for
more because next week I’ll be reviewing another new show from the 2015 lineup!
