It's lovely how nice of a guy he is reallyвЂ“wait, stop right there. He's always speaking in his friendly guy voice in his head to remind us, he's not actually a real villain. Everyone still loves him anyway, and he acts like the generic 'nice guy' harem protagonist. Momonga being a villain changes almost nothing.

His skeleton face remains unanimated in conversations his voice is undeniably booming, the actor puts on a fantastic show, but there's no impact. The light novel's designs look amazing-but this adaptation's art lacks detail. Even his character art fails at conveying the intimidation. He is entirely devoid of substance, only existing to continue the story. I like them as much as the next guy, but he's not a very interesting character beyond his intimidating design. An overpowered character doesn't become good just by not being a teenage boy. What's the appeal of it? Is it that Momonga is a ridiculously overpowered self-insert protagonist and his legion of ladies all want him? Both this season and the first were at best disposable entertainment, like any other isekai light novel adaptation. The character designs look cool, and all but that isn't enough to carry a boatload of mediocrity. Overlord is not mature, it's not remotely well written, it's visuals don't even look good. It is practically a generic isekai light novel adaptation, but with older characters, giving it the illusion of maturity. I have never understood why Overlord receives so much praise.
