Ainz’s motives are so flimsy that I could sneeze, and it would collapse into dust. Right from the get go, we’re given no explanation to the introduction of the Lizardmen. The first mistake is not using the protagonist of the show as the vehicle for the viewers. It spreads the plot thin, jumping between multiple characters, trying to establish a bigger world than what Ainz is aware of. The problem lies is how many subplots the show tries to set up during the entire runtime of 13 episodes. I’ve seen better romance fanfiction, which is saying something, because I’ve read some truly terrible ones. The explanation for the Lizard tribes were ham fisted, and the ‘relationship’ between the two pivotal characters made me want to sob on the floor. There’s no rhyme or reason to that entire arc, except for the watcher to gawk at Ainz being a literal Overlord. The beginning episodes are especially terrible. Season 2 is a prime example of what happens when you write a story around characters who are so bland and uninteresting I’d rather watch paint dry. The pacing was whack but the world building, characters, and drama was unique enough to keep me hooked. That, I feel, can be applied for season 1. If a story is bad, it has to have interesting, lovable characters that I can root for. I’m aware Overlord is originally a light novel, but oh my great lord in heaven, if it’s true, then I’m completely shocked it actually passed an editor. I am honestly curious about the original source material. The show did a terrible job of explaining anything, and it completely contradicts the image of Ainz created over the course of season 1. It was a steaming pile of crap, basically. This is my takeaway of the entire season. A whole bunch of poorly executed subplots revolving around characters I barely care to stay awake for. With such a strong groundwork in place, what the hell happened with season 2? Story I know some anime that would have killed to gain the recognition and love Overlord got. It had spotty characters and a ton of fanservice, but it was really fun and had good story to accompany epic action scenes. But I certainly didn’t expect Overlord of all anime to break that streak.īack when season 1 had just released, I binged the entire thing, like I always do. #OVERLORD II LIZARD SERIES#Looking at the number of series I’ve reviewed since the blog’s inception, it’s extremely rare to see a bad review. Some might be completely average, but if I enjoy it, it’s time well spent. – – – : The very few, short, instrumental cuts don’t really add a bonus to the work.Ĭonclusion: “Damage” took me by surprise and “Asylum” only confirms my surprise: Kill Shelter is a growing project in the Cold-Wave scene.īest songs: “Time Will Come”, “All Of This”, “Cover Me”, “The Necklace”, “Queen Of Hearts”.Īrtist: Labels: / / / don’t know if it’s a testament to my luck, but most anime I watch can be considered pretty good. It’s also interesting to hear the song (released as a single) together with Stefan Netschio. I mainly refer to the cavernous vocals of Antipole and the top notch contribution of Ronny Moorings. The production is also powerful and creates a perfect match with some of the singers. He’s a great guitarist who injects a poignant, dark, spirit to the composition. + + + : Pete Burns first of all confirms to be one of the hottest new coming artists from the Cold-Wave scene. The album also features a few short instrumental songs. The tracks reflect pure Dark-Wave carried by dark guitar and low bass lines. Sound-wide the work didn’t really change and remains driven by the overwhelming sound production of this Scottish artist. The work includes inspiring collaborations with Ronny Moorings (Clan Of Xymox), Agent Side Grinder, Ash Code, Stefan Netschio (Beborn Beton), William Faith (The Bellwether Syndicate / Faith And The Muse), Valentina Veil (VV & the Void) and Antipole are the guests. Notice by the way there are a few different songs in the tracklist of both edits.Ĭontent: Kill Shelter renewed the experience of working with guest singers from the underground scene. The new work has been released by Manic Depression Records for Europe and Metropolis Records for the USA. He also released a collaborative work with Antipole (2021). #OVERLORD II LIZARD FULL#Background/Info: Four years after the astonishing debut album “Damage”, Pete Burns strikes back with his second full length.
