I can't believe! It will be a honor accompany you guys in this journey! 💀 All hail Ainz Ooal Gown

Fun fact about Overlord's author, which is kinda inspiring. The author has never played MMOs, so he has no idea how they work, but he was playing a lot of Dungeons & Dragons with his friends, but because of the work they began to play less and less, so he decided to write Overlord for fun WHILE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB, and he never expected it become so big.

24:55 - 25:05 - it was cut off from the anime, but in the original LN he was thinking about if the NPCs are even loyal to him, so he prepared different items to fight off and run away, in case they weren't loyal. It's also never mentioned in the anime, but in real world Japan is in post-apocalyptic state with MAXIMUM HORRIBLE air pollution, and everyone is basically slaves to giant corporations. So, the real world is basically a dystopia - which is why people are escaping into VRMMOs.

I like how he try to guess the gender of the twins XD

Isekai just means transported to another world, being reborn is tensei, both can be present at the same time but you don’t need to be reborn to be isekaied and just because you’re reborn doesn’t mean it’s isekai

5:30 Yggdrasil (pronounced Ig-Drazil) is the name of the massive World Tree in Norse mythology. held within it's branches are the 9 Realms of Norse legend (Midgard, Asgard, Helheim, Jotunheim, etc.) its a pretty common fake name for Japanese/Korean MMORPG in manga/manhua. it's just supposed to call into your mind the idea of a massive, European-style fantasy world with tons of realms in it, especially for those in the East. the tree is important in the story of Yggdrasil, the game, but not overly important in the story of Overlord, the anime. it's a nice piece of background knowledge to have going forward, but it won't ruin your understanding of the show if you don't know.

A fun lil fact regarding Momonga and Albedo's interaction: The reason she was reacting kinda lewd was because Momonga is capable of emitting a negative energy upon touch (but he didnt realize it was on), so Albedo felt it

Isekai literally translates as "Another World". The trope of isekai anime is being transported to a different world, no matter the method, either be it reincarnation (tensei), summoning, or a gate.

"Yggdrasil" is the tree of life in Norse mythology

Its finally here! By the way please pay attention to the comments on this series, as they give information that is always extremely good to know, the anime tends to cut out alot from the light novel. also there is a post-credit scenes in some episodes. This is some info from episode 1 that should clarify stuff for you without spoilers. The green light that illuminates Momonga every time he gets excited is a kind of "emotional inhibitor" that he obtained by becoming undead and that returns him to a calm state every time he is about to lose control. Albedo's creator was an obsessed gamer who loved Gap Moe, that is, the "contradiction of appearance and behavior". Albedo is designed to look like a goddess. Her setting "on the outside she is a perfect beauty, but on the inside she is a bitch" is kind of a mistranslation but not really. "bitch" in japan means something different. In Japan bitch is more referred to a slut. Thankfully Momonga modified/deleted this. A big misconception is that he is "stuck in the game " , this is not the case , his guild actually got transported into "The New World" , which is not a game at all but an actual other world he got transported too. the Game is irrelevant to this new word to a capacity.

There is a reason he chose to ask Albedo if he could touch her chest out of any other test he could have possibly ran. He briefly touched on it in the show but there was more to it in the light novel. This isn't a spoiler, this is just to add more context. Yggdrasil, and other games like it, are heavily monitored games and there are a lot of rules in those games. There are rules against sexual contact with other players in the game, just for example, so in his mind the logic was "if I do this thing the admins of the game may swoop down and take me away." so he was wanting to see if that would work. But also Yggdrasil doesn't function as a game with those sorts of functions because there's no program to feel or touch anything. So that's the second thing. Also a side-note. Albedo is a succubus, so there's a reason for how she acts lol

17:30 "Isekai" just means Other World or Another World. It does not matter how one gets there, as long as they somehow end up there.

I love overlord, It's author is a huge D&D nerd and it shows. The world building and characters are good enough that i forget that it's an isekai sometimes.

Thanks for reacting to this! Warning: Pay attention to the post-credit scenes in some chapters. I'll give you some clarifications just from this chapter: The green light that illuminates Momonga every time he gets excited is a kind of "emotional inhibitor" that he obtained by becoming undead and that returns him to a calm state every time he is about to lose control. In the Yggdrasil game one could get a base if their Guild reached a certain size and they even allowed them to customize their defensive NPCs. There were all kinds, although the protagonist only mentions one in the novel that had the theme of cats. The protagonist's Guild was designed around the Dungeons & Dragons theme, which is the source of inspiration for almost all of Overlord. Naturally, since teleportation magic existed, the protagonist and his guild almost always appeared in specific places and didn't interact much with NPCs after designing them. That is why he does not remember very well which were the pre-programmed orders that controlled them. Albedo's creator was an obsessed gamer who loved Gap Moe, that is, the "contradiction of appearance and behavior". Albedo is designed to look like a goddess and even her name means whiteness, but in reality she must be someone quite evil and in the final line it was added that she "she is a nymphomaniac". Momonga modified this thankfully. In the world of the protagonist (a dystopian future) there are many laws for virtual reality. For example: At least 2 of the 5 senses must be blocked or reduced so that no one gets carried away and confuses fiction with reality, that's why Ainz is so surprised that Albedo has smell and body heat, because those are always the senses blocked in video games. Also, when he... touches her, he does it because in his country there are many public moral restrictions and one is not supposed to do anything perverted without an alert being given to the authorities. If he were to stay in a game, even if the admins don't want him out, the government would find out that he had done an out-of-bounds action and raise an alarm. In the Ygdrassil game, the account of the player who tried to go too far was deleted and his name was published on a kind of digital wall so that everyone knew. (Super strict!) Ainz is quite cautious and takes the scepter to the arena to test its magic, because if it doesn't work he can tell that the scepter isn't working right and the NPCs won't find out that he is defenseless. There are still 2 Floor Guardians that have not been shown. This is because they have somewhat dangerous characteristics and Ainz doesn't want to risk seeing them until he is sure of the NPCs' allegiance. The Great Tomb of Nazarick was originally a dungeon conquered by the Guild of Ainz Ooal Gown, who rebuilt it when they made it their base. It has a total of 10 floors and is full of traps that become more deadly as they descend, waiting for any invader off guard. The first 3 floors are Catacombs, where several dozen undead roamed in the dark and are protected by the vampire Shalltear. The fourth floor is an underground lake and It is protected by a Guardian named Gargantua, who has only been mentioned. The Fifth Floor is a wide area filled with numerous icebergs and It is protected by Cocytus. The sixth floor is a Jungle that is actually underground, but it doesn't look like it because one of the guild members went to great lengths to design a digital sky that was as realistic as possible. That's where the Amphitheater is, too, and the guardians are the dark elf twins. The seventh floor This floor is an area filled with crimson lava that flows like a river and looks like hell. That's why the demon Demiurge is the guardian The eighth floor is the most mysterious of all and we don't know much about it even in the novels. But we know that no invader of Yggdrassil ever managed to overcome it. It is protected by a guardian named Victim. The ninth floor is the place where the Guild members lived and interacted and has many different areas. One of them was the Round Table where they had their meetings. It was protected by the butler Sebastian and the Battle Maids. The tenth floor is the Throne Room where the Guild members would gather to face the invaders in the last battle, although this never happened because no one made it that far. It is protected by Albedo. There is one more place, but it is separated from the rest and talking about it in the first chapter would be a spoiler. I hope this information has served to understand some things.

Overlord was the first anime that made me go buy the light novels because I was so curious to see where the story would go. Hope you enjoy the journey.

Congrats on starting your Overlord journey. I watched the original series of Overlord as an anime-only and enjoyed the experience a lot. I will comment more on the show premise itself in later episodes, but it is a show based on a light novel where knowing something about adaptations is particularly important. So here is some context: Shows Like Dr. Stone, One Punch Man, HunterxHunter, and all 7 of the other “long anime” you recently reacted to the first episode of are based on Manga. Manga are essentially Japanese comics, though they do tend to have more diverse storylines than Western ones (which are almost entirely superhero stories). Anime that originally came from Manga tend to adapt everything from the source material and if anything they actually add things, and create “filler” not found in the source. In contrast shows like Overlord, Re-Zero, No Game No Life, and I Got Reincarnated as a Slime were originally based on a series of light novels. However, these “light novels” are sometimes anything but light when it comes to their length and story depth, which often far exceed the length of Lord of the Rings (this is particularly true of Overlord). The amount of the source material adapted also varies a lot between shows. Three examples I’ve actually read span across the spectrum: No Game No Life: The anime may end with one of the biggest anime cliffhangers ever(an anime-only ending too) but the 3 novels it adapts leave almost 0 dialogue out, only a couple details of any real significance failed to make it into the show. Re-Zero: Despite the anime being a very high-quality adaptation a lot of Dialogue, Lore, Foreshadowing etc. found in the Novels was left out. However, few scenes from the Light Novel were entirely cut (and most that were happened in arc 3/second half of season 1). Dialogue giving important hints was also often shortened to a single line in the anime from a more complete explanation in the novels but rarely left out entirely. Overlord: Just like in Re-Zero a lot of Dialogue, Lore, and Foreshadowing is left out, but in addition, a comparatively large number of scenes are cut from the anime entirely, and many of the mysteries and Lore you learn about in the novels are not referenced at all in the anime. The anime does still manage to tell a cohesive story, and is epic on its own(also it has one of the best soundtracks), but the difference in information between a novel reader and an anime-only watcher is very large. In fairness, this is in part because the author does an incredible amount of world-building in the form of exposition or dialogue that would be hard to fit in, but that still means Overlord has one of the biggest differences in story feeling and knowledge between anime and Novels. 31:05 Well that actually sums up the plot rather well :D

Isekai Quartet was most certainly one of the reasons I wanted you to watch this anime

About the "Is this isekai?" That's how originally isekai started - transporting into a game world, the character didn't really have to die, but nowadays, it's different.

The fun thing is that Momonga is asking basically the same questions which actually is really relatable and understandable :'D

Overlord has amazing premise and a good story with lots of interesting concepts to ponder. Where it falls short is the animation budget. Anime can be rough at times, but the narrative is good enough that it will carry you through such misgivings.

23:00 to explain albedos reaction to everything that just happened: shes a succubus and momonga programmed her to love him at the last minute using her lore/settings page just before the isekai

He’s not in the game anymore, he’s in a complete another world, transported along with his npc characters.

Fun fact: Momonga had actually sent out several emails to the guild members asking them to stay logged until the end. He had prepared an island that had its entire surface filled with fireworks which he was going to ignite during the last minutes of the server

Let's Go, Bone Daddy

21:20 from what I understood from some lore videos doing any +18 action in that game was prohibited, it would result in permanent ban+account deletion. Ainz was doing it in an attempt to see if he can free himself from the game.

Next year is Overlord's 10th year anniversary, this series still holds up well considering it was made in 2015. My favorite anime of all time, i've seen the first 3 seasons 13 times through, and the 4th season at least 6 times.

This is another very very common type of isekai. Video game isekai account for nearly half of all isekai, and has been around for quite a few years longer (on a mainstream scale at least) than the isekai tropes you're familiar with.

LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR THE DAY OF YOUR REACTION TO OVERLORD!!

The twin elves are a brother and sister. But their creator liked having them dress in clothing opposite to their gender.

The anime doesn't really go into it, but apparently the reason Nazarick is so important to Ainz is that his real world is essentially a dystopian nightmare where the air is filled with smog and normal life is just run by corporations the run their employees into the dirt. So this VR world was really the only escape from the horrors or daily life. It kinda mimics the feeling Isekais in general try to appeal to, the desire to escape into another world. Ainz already had that strong desire which made him love Yggrasildur and his friends in the Tomb of Nazarick, it was felt more like "living" than real life did.

All Isekai means is that the characters end up in another world. Technically speaking, SAO is an Isekai, although that is a bit of a stretch. There are a number of ways to go about it, but being reborn or being summoned are two of the most common. No, the bone daddy does not have a bone.

"they're both girl?" Well... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

iirc, Yggdrasil is a very "hardcore" video game, with perma death unless revived by shenanigans (magic and/or items), just saying to "correct"/add to what you said about NPCs and PCs respawning. Also, the game, as said in the beginning, there's a ton of player freedom. That's why Momonga and Co are "evil", they deliberately chose to take that role instead of being "Heroes", which is pretty neat and something common to do on games that allow such choice. Also also, The game is very D&D inspired, which is neat imo. (totally not a nerd) I dunno what else to say or add as non spoilery fun facts, so, just enjoy the Anime, is pretty good.

Just so you know, each floor of Nazarick is it's own "instance" so it includes stuff like sky boxes. So essentially each floor is a different dimension, connected together to form the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

I get so jealous of new anime fans at times because you get to watch so many TOP TIER anime back to back without having to wait.

I remember giving a very detailed summary of this series that left out the Isekai aspect of the show when you first reacted to the openings. Oh this is going to be fun.

5:30 Yggdrasil (pronounced ig-drasil) is the tree of life in Norse mythology, it shows up a lot in fiction in general. 17:30 Isekai's are usually reincarnation or summoning, but any methods could be used to go from one world to the other. In this case its more of a wombo combo of the entire guild being summoned to another world and the guild all becoming real. 26:44 Nope :) 35:06 Dw, doujins make sure to give him a mighty bone :)

Well, this show has been on my to watch list for a while now, so great to watch along for the first time with you.

Unfortunately for Albedo it doesn't look like Ainz will ever give her any action since tampering with her settings is one of the biggest regrets Ainz has ever had. Her "thirsty" acts although tempting for any man, is sad for Ainz knowing that he tampered with one of his friends creations and can never turn her back.

When I first watched the first episode it was like 10 PM, and then I finished season 1 and 2 in a day. I didn't sleep whatsoever lol. 21:00 HE JUST LIKE ME FR

Yes!! Welcome to Overlord! Man I enjoy watching you giving tons of questions the second a show starts😁 Probably the other word you are looking for is "Tensei" which means reincarnation. So Overlord is a Isekai fantasy anime, but not a Tensei one.

This is the 1st anime that made me read the Light Novels AFTER I watched all seasons There's so much to unpack between the lines

I bought the overlord soundtrack on vinyl, has the anime length opening/closing themes. Amazing record.

It's often really overlooked, specially in the anime since more subtle things like these usually shine more in the novels, but I think one of the things Overlord does the best is the melancholy of a long list past. So much of Momonga's character is so deeply rooted in the longing for the adventures and friends he used to have, and the way that is conveyed is incredible. As the audience, we never had the chance to witness it, and we never got to know his old friends, and when he speaks of it so fondly, it makes us wish we knew what it was like. That want is what ends up making us relate to the character so deeply. It's an incredible meta narrative and really succeeds in making the audience feel what the character does, even I through a different reason. I would even say that's THE main appeal of his character. I think the only other series that manages to give the same feeling is Frieren, and that alone says a lot.

Oh hell yes, Luke is watching Overlord in the main channel? I’m so happy! He’s been starting episode 1s of so many mega series on the other channel I have no idea what’s going on over there.

Overlord is definitely not an anime I'd recommend for first time anime watchers. It actually flips a lot of tropes, so a lot of the quality is lost on newcomers and it can be strange at times. I find it immensely entertaining, though, and hope you do as well! If you like fantasy and DnD themes, you will love it!

THE DAY IS HERE! Found your channel originally because of your Overlord openings reaction and have been waiting this ever since.

I'll answer a few of the questions you asked watching this episode and do so without spoiling anything. At the end of my comment, I'll also recommend something that might heighten your appreciation of this series. 1- Herohero was, indeed, extremely powerful. I'm pretty sure it isn't mentionned in the anime, so I'll mention it here, but it might be a very slight spoiler that won't really change the way you'll watch the anime, so it shouldn't be too bad to explain this... Ains Ooal Gown was, in Yggdrasil, one of the best guild. It was in the top 5 of the game, which means every last member at the highest spot of the guild had to be very strong. As a matter of fact, they also had the number 1 PvP player in the guild and not by a small margin. One again, it isn't explained in the anime so I'll put it here... Touch Me had a reason to chose that name, he was so good he was litteraly unbeatable. As a matter of fact, Momonga might even be one of the weakest member among them, but that clearly doesn't mean he was weak in any shape or form. 2- Isekai mean transported to another world. It can by dying and being reincarnated, being summoned or any other way. Him becoming a part of that world is an isekai since he changed the world he lived in. 3- When hetouched Albedo's chest, he wasn't taking advantage of her or anything, he was really testing something important. In Yggdrasil, anything 18+ related wasn't possible except maybe ERP. Touching an NPC's chest just was totaly impossible. The fact he was able to do it just confirmed something extremely important to Momonga : he wasn't in Yggdrasil anymore. The fact he did ir for so long wasn't because he liked what was happening, but because the choc of that revelation was so important he just didn't realise anymore what he was doing. 4- Why is he called Victim? Well, it's a cute name, isn't it? Now, my recommendation. Once you'll be done with the first season of the show, I would highly recommend you look for a youtube channel called AniNews (not in 2 words, that's another channel, in one word) That guy have a really great series of video called skipped content where he explain what was skipped during the adaptation of multiple series. He did one on Overlord and there is a huge amount of skipped content that will really make you understand and appreciate things better. Now, don't get me wrong, Overlord is one of the best adaptation there is right nest to Frieren, but they had to skip a lot of stuff in order to make a digestible season. He also have on for Kono Suba if you are interested, and another series you might be interested on his channel is where he explain how strong some of Overlord characters are, like Shalltear, Albedo, Sebas and almost all of the others. He really goes deep in the lore in both series, so I'm pretty sure you'll find them interesting.

I've been waiting for this one. Love overlord so much.

Overlord first three episodes do a lot of set up for the story. The amount of world building in the story is what makes the series so charming. Fun Fact: The writer of Overlord was the Dungeon Master for a dnd campaign. Which his players kept dropping out of or being too busy to play. The Author got so frustrating that his work into world building and planning the sessions was being wasted. So in his free time he started to write overlord which to me explains why the opening scene at the table feels so real. It was the author venting his frustrations. To answer some of the questions: It’s never said in the anime: Japan has massive air pollution and it’s in a cyberpunk corporate dystopia. So people play these VR MMOs to escape reality. 1) Has he been Isekaied / is he in game? - This will be addressed over the next few episodes. 2) Does he have the right bone? Addressed comedically in season 2. 3) why did he touch albedo? The game was heavily moderated. If you attempted such actions you would be swiftly banned or ejected from the game. Note he did this action after seeing the NPCs talk to him (sometimes they didn’t do before) and they followed orders which were outside the the basic commands. By this a I mean before, the NPCs would only respond to very specific commands sick as follow or stay.

You're in for some good times with Overlord. We also finally have that movie coming covering an arc they decided to skip over to get into season 4

"They're both girls?" BUDDY NO NO NO DONT FALL

I think that it's better that it doesn't explain anything. It makes you feel like you know as much as the MC. I hate it when the anime feels like it needs to explain everything right away. Also, if you think about it, the breast part is actually a genius idea. No one would implement R18 elements into this type of mmorpg officially.

Finally overlord, LET'S GO !!!!!

Oh my... FINALLY! I will be here for every step of this new journey

finally, it is here. the first isekai ive seen to have a protagonist like this. makes for a very interesting story

Gotta love how all the monstrous guardians look up to him.

This anime is what got me into this Chanel, I came wanting him to react to overlord and stayed for all the anime reactions lol

-Let him enjoy his schizophrenia. -He HAD to do it. -Made me want to watch this series (again). It will be an honor to accompany you on this journey.

"Is he trapet into a videogame? that this even count as Isekai" - Well, actually the first (or at least first to become popular) Isekai was about people traped in a videogame. The concept of "isekai" means "traped in another world" the nature of that world could be absolutely anything.

Isekai just means another world. Usually people die and are reincarnated into that other world, but it's not a requirement.

"Did the good guys lose?" Pretty much sums up this entire anime series.

The genre of "isekai" means getting transported to another world so it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be reborn in another world its just being reborn is the most common and known way to get transported to another world usually with the help of good old truck-kun but there are stories where the characters just get teleported to another world as themselves or like here in overlord he's "trapped" as his character in the game and there are other animes like sword art online or log horizon where the characters get trapped inside the game as their own character

Yes, finally it's so great to see you reacting to this!

Yes it's another world, not just inside the game but him, his whole base, and all NPCs which are now real living beings were transported on another world. To simplify it: Not a game but another world. They got transported to it. No NPCs, all of them are real beings now. Also make sure not to miss the end-credits after the ending song. Most episodes has one.

25:15 the tomb of nazarick is a player made dungeon so its massive dungeons in fantasy themed manga/anime dont always look like ruins or caves they can just have something that looks like outside inside or underground

Man i want him to react to cut content too its makes more depth to character and story may be end of every season how many of you like that idea

Cant believe I missed this reaction right when I came out. I loved this anime ^^

This is my favorite anime, looking up their names lead me through interesting rabbit holes, especially the Demiurge which has cool stories in Gnosticism about something called Sophia who created Demiurge/Yaldebaoth by accident. Also, Albedo's name, is another word for Saturn(Edit: No it isn't, I'm wrong).

thats my favorite anime of all time. I am so happy you watch it

Luke to his wife in 3 weeks: "I have no idea how this Albedo cosplay got here. But while it's here, I suppose we could see if you like it..."

20:54 My god, hes more about science than dr.stone!

I didn't know Overlord was set so far in future. 2126 is when game started and 2138 is when it ended. 26:05 Congratulations on understanding Momonga's character. His human and game personality switching all the time. 35:05 That is indeed very important.

Um dos meus TOP 5 Isekais, Overlord é maravilhoso ❤ 😂🎉 e muito engraçado ❤🎉😂

Wait guys, now that he’s watched Tanya, Konosuba, and Re:Zero, does that mean that after he finishes this we can make him watch Isekai Quartet? Was that the plan?

Finally! Been waiting for the day this reaction arrived.

Eu nem tinha assistindo cinco minutos de video quando pensei: Esse cara é o cara! hahahaha +1 inscrito!

Isekai Quartet is a good spread of showing how different characters get Isekaied: Tanya: Dies and goes to an other world. Kazuma dies and goes to another world dies, stays there, dies stays there Ainz Ool Gown (aka spicy Skeletor): Doesnt die and goes to a different world Subaru: Doesnt die and goes to a different world, dies, dies, dies, dies... dies... dies? Thats a lot of deaths.... Im sure that stops some time.... Oh he dies again.

my actual reaction whne i saw the video pulled up on my screen was "no way" well fellas you know what this mean, we soon will be able to see he's reaction to isekai quartet

Finding yourself in world based on game (or the world a game is based on) is common occurrence, difference is wether u are a hero, villain, supporting character or total nobody. Some characters choose to live quietly, away from commotion, some choose to do whatever they want and some decide to help people they liked as NPCs.

The saddest part of the touching scene is that he is motivated almost entirely by logic. Basically no Mature content was allowed at all in the game and the society viewed the enforcing of this rule so important, that if it was broken that would mean that is 100% not a corporate property and therefore not from our world. I am only talking about his thought process, I am not claiming anything about his real circumstances.

NERDCORE: Divide music: Back down All that's left No way out Worlds collide No way out Left behind Fabvl: Die for you Under my skin Can't go back The end Cross my heart reimagined Hiding in the dark Daddyphatsnaps (dps): Malevolent Rumbling Switch Canon event Let him cook Eye for eye Dizzyeight: Lately Decay Lost control Lost myself One for all Rogue Rustage: Take everything Running Blood Running in blind Going for the kill Oni

Наконец то я дождался этого, Люк наконец то делает реакцию на Оверлорд!

Victim is explained in the Novel but we never see its power used. Victim isn't a combat machine but a living sacrifice. When 'Killed' he activates a level 100 containment spell a mile across that traps everyone in its area of affect motionless. The Guild ring allows movement in the containment. When the containment spell ends Victim is 'resurrected' into its not really alive, not dead state.

I think that the weight of Momon's isolation is an interesting part of this story. The new world has so many aspects of the original game, that it is hard to prove that it is not really something artificial. No matter what connections you make, they might never feel as real as those of his guildmate friend.

Wow, after months I look back at this channel to see if Overlord is reacted to and it starts today :D

One piece of context information I feel compelled to give which will shed some light on Ainz's attitude and behaviour throughout the series. Ainz's world is fucked with a capital F. Megacorporations have gotten rid of governments and are now the decisionmakers around the world. The wold is polluted to an insane degree, iirc you can only really go outside with protective equipment. Fresh food has basically become a luxury for the ultra rich and regular people are forced to eat nutriient slurries. Workers tend to get overworked and have very little freedom or even rights. And the average level of education has basically been reduced to an elementary level education to maintain a cheap and easily replacable workforce that won't question corporate rule.

Isekai means you're transported to another world. That includes reincarnation, being summoned there, spirited away, sucked into a vortex or anything along those lines. Reincarnation is just the most common version of that.

Yggdrasil is the name of the world tree from Norse Mythology, and you've most likely seen something inspired by it before, since it's the inspiration for A LOT of stuff. Almost anything that includes a gigantic magic tree, in fact.

Igg-dra-sil. In other words, "The World Tree." Famous in Norse Mythology for encompassing the "Nine Realms" as a tree of life within the cosmos.

Finalllyyyyyyy.... Been waiting ages for this one!!! Thank you for finally reacting to it

The aspect I love most about this anime is its incredibly vast world map, which sets it apart from other anime. Unlike in other anime, you don't even see such a world map. Not only is its world expansive, but it is also vibrant, and you can clearly observe the impact of the main character on this world. Lastly, despite Overlord being heavily censored, it is truly successful.

GOTGames, bro! Thank you, truly. For beginning to watch Overlord! Your in for a ride! I actually bought the first volume of the light novel and the covers and art are beautiful!!!

One can't actually *just* teleport around their base. They actually have a sophisticated system in place in case any invaders capable of teleporting made it inside (Base invasions were a MAJOR undertaking in the game). The rings were the ONLY things capable of bypassing the those defenses

It did explain one thing, he isn't comatose. If he was in a coma while simply "stuck" in the game, then the rules and functions of the game should have persisted. That's why he groped Albedo, if he was still in the game just stuck inside then the PG setting of the game forbidding 18+ actions/activities would have stopped him. He also made it clear that he wasn't in the game anymore since he noticed various things that shouldn't be possible in a game, like the sense of smell, NPCs talking fluently as if actual people, NPCs being able to obey complex commands over simple, specific commands, and the fact he can do 18+ acts.
