You see, he has two voices – His actual voice, which is a pleasant sounding, nice and intelligent sounding man. In terms of the voices, I want to focus primarily on Ainz himself. It might be a little bit unfitting of the pace of the series, however like all good anime music, the opening makes a huge difference and I’m always finding myself ready for an episode once the intro is over. The music is really quite fast paced and it’s got an eclectic beat to it, which really gets you into the mood of the anime. As is customary with anime, there’s always a small snippet before showing you what happened leading to this episode, before the intro starts. It’s enjoyable and catchy, making you really feel pumped up for the episode ahead. Let me start off by saying that this intro is amazing and I think I’d like a full album of this style of music? Where can I buy this?īut in seriousness, the music of the show is really good. Considering this anime is set in a very Dungeons & Dragons inspired world, it’s no real surprise then that the art of each character, along with their classes, was hugely important. The nicest thing is a lot of the classes and races of the series look as they should do. The moment I set my eyes on him, I was immediately thinking “he looks like a lich” and lo and behold, he was. The Overlord artwork is absolutely fantastic with beautifully drawn scenes, including the rather strange art-direction of the protagonist, considering he’s a lich. With a small group of NPCs who stay by his side, the unsightly lich learns to conceal his apperance for the sake of diplomatic gains and how to deal with the people of this new world he’s found himself in. With no way to use the in game commands or console and with NPCs seemingly coming to life, Momonga sets out to make a name for himself, crafting a new identity under the guise of Ainz Ooal Gown and learn about the world he’s trapped in. As time progressed, Momonga realised that the servers didn’t shut off, but instead, he was stuck inside of the game. The lich, known as Lord Momonga, is a max levelled player and he decided to stay as Yggdrasil shut down it’s servers on their last day. Overlord is an MMO Fantasy adventure, about a regular man who leads a well established guild on an MMORPG called Yggdrasil, follows in the footsteps of the player character’s large skeletal lich. Does this series have a life of its own, or does it fall flat next to more established anime of its kind? From level differences and HUD interface features, along with dungeons & dragons dynamics, Overlord is a wonderful telling of the trapped-in video game subgenre of anime. Ever feel like you’re living in a video game? Well Lord Momonga certainly does a powerful lich who has been trapped in a virtual world, with no-one around except for NPCs who have come to life He just wants to get to the bottom of why he’s stuck in this world.
