    ThiefHott Too much of everything
    Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
    Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
    Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

    roytahrens Upon reading some of the negative criticisms I felt obligated to stand up for what is in my opinion a fun spin on a common plot line where a player gets stuck in a game he loves. Obviously, if your cinematic need is to empathize with the protagonist and aren't fond of games or gamers then this isn't an anime for you.Negatives: This anime does have some issues in that it is fast paced (not as bad as SAO) and constantly bolts passed some minor details as a result, but the overall story-line never seems to be impacted. The first two seasons seem to be more about building up the image of power of the main hero most likely setting him up for some brutal falls later on. This anime does also contain some light hentai references which in most instances adds some nice grit or cheap humor to the world but in other cases is completely unnecessary (fairly standard stuff for non-mainstream anime). One key detail I'd like to remind and reinforce in the viewers of this; is that his emotions/humanity is being influenced/moderated by an outside force, much like he is being played by a player. Which is the fun new perspective that this anime adds to the genre. (Not really a spoiler as it introduced in the first episode)
    basedeggs Don't even waste your time on this, the characters are all very unoriginal and exhibit no original and new personalities and there isn't even a story to be told let alone a plot.Everything is a sad attempt to make the main character Overlord look like top stuff and the most powerful guy in the world with NO personality and no real point to his life, he's a worthless character who honestly contributes less then the own side characters like Sebas the butler we see a lot more in season 2.Also in season 2 you see these furry lizard things(That you literally see have sex) for 5 episodes and we even get a backstory and then in episode 5 they kill most of them off and then resurrect 1 and then they are insignificant to the story for the rest of the season, what was the point??? And in Season 1 you meet this girl who is supposed to be super strong and kills a lot of people and overlord comes in and chokes her to death after she kills a group of people whom you get to meet and learn a lot about...Of course they are killed off. The show also features with a 99% talking and inner monologue that is unimportant and boring to the whole story, along with information they repeat a million times for the low IQ people who enjoy the show and need to be reminded of things they have already heard and known since episode 1&2.This happens throughout literally the whole show, it's a huge waste of time and close to being the worst anime I have EVER seen.
    Huami Lim For those who love being at the top of the world, This is the anime for you - I felt an immediate affinity to the show right from the very first episode. I love the main character, and I thoroughly enjoy putting myself in his shoes as I watched the series. Mild Spoilers:This anime is about a being who's the strongest in his universe, right from the get go, much like how saitama is in one punch man (my #1 favorite). Because of this plot setting, the journey focuses more on politics, decision making, and his interactions and relationships with the rest of the world around him. I especially enjoy the different personas he adopts as he explores and finds out more about the people, their problems, hopes, fears, and dreams in life. Much like how a God sees a child. And the dynamics can be so exquisite and complex.That said, this series is quite short for 13 episodes, and Really Really needs a follow up Season 2 ASAP!If you found my review helpful, give it a shot, you won't regret it!
