    Overlord is an isekai, where the main character is the main villain trying to take over the world. And he has a bunch of NPC underlings from his evil RP guild.

    It’s fantastic. Be aware that season 2 drags but the show picks up again after. Feel free to skip the “lizard-man-arc” entirely. (Though it does have some sick fights and moments)

    Generally it achieves a great balance between dead serius plot, funny, fanservice, and intense action.

    Oh and the women in the series wear battle armor that actually covers them up.

    Same character from the post.

      Interesting, no idea if that’s my cup of tea but maybe I’ll give it a shot

        I think most people can find something about the show to really like. It’s one of a kind.

        It’s typical in thes sense that Ainz and his underlings are ridiculously overpowered in this new world they’ve been transported to, so there’s never tension about whether they’ll lose a fight.

        Rather, the intrigue of the show comes from how the denizens of Nazarick go about manipulating the villages, cities, tribes and eventually entire nations into falling under their rule. It’s about economics, geography, culture, politics, and even the logistics of then running what amounts to a multi-cultural empire that includes citizens all the way from undead to human.

          Huh… I think that kinda show might not make my social anxiety happy to watch 😅 it sounds stressful lol

          I’ll take a look at it at some point though, it definitely sounds like an interesting show :)
