There was no need for me to fight someone of your level seriously. In other words you werent even an enemy worthy of using magic on. Ainssama When it comes down to sequels Overlord never utterly disappointed. It had always delivered what we wanted in the end despite some of its shortcomings along the way. For an anime that is notorious for its debatable CGI it still holds its place as a well known seinen that many have come to love and enjoy myself included. And Overlord 3 is no different in this regard it still manages to hold a great storyline thanks to the buildup of the previous season. With increased talent and effort put into the art/animation and soundtrack I knew I was in for a ride. So without further ado heres my review of Overlord 3 Art and Animation: 8.3/10 I immediately noticed an increase in quality when I first began this season and I was thoroughly enjoying it. Most of the new characters had great designs that were interesting anyone else get Archer vibes from the King? and entertaining to watch. I especially annoyed the action scenes that were to follow the great vibrancy of colors added more intensity to the scenes. Unfortunately this season presented the CGI very poorly ESPECIALLY towards the end. After doing some research many Overlord fans were displeased at the results of the CGI. After looking at the what could have been I can confirm that there was A LOT of wasted potential in the ending episodes because of the unneeded CGI. I had also noticed a few CRITICAL mistakes in terms of animation. There were a few moments where the lip syncing was mistimed which ruined the immersion quite a bit. A simple mistake like this shouldnt even be happening especially for a well known studio like Madhouse. This is why the art/animation score is lower than its predecessors. Storyline and Character Progression: 8.7/10 There wasnt too much to expect from this season to begin with. Most of the stage had already been set for most of the character cast and the ones that were added had received ample development. As far as the storyline goes I really enjoy the events that had unfolded. There wasnt any point where the storyline dragged on unnecessarily and the pacing of the storyline was comfortable to follow along with as well. In the end this season was above average when it addressed both character progression and storyline. Soundtrack and Audio: 9.2/10 I honestly may be a little biased when I say this but this seasons OP was AMAZING Its without a doubt my favorite of the 3 but its also one of my top 5 favorite OP of all time When it came to the pure quality of the soundtrack it was used very well at the appropriate times without it being used too much to the point of becoming stale. The ED as well was very decent and held to the environment fit for an Overlord anime. The character voice actors were just as good as the previous seasons as well with great emotion and convincing acting. When it came down to raw entertainment and soundtrack this season was definitely my favorite. In terms of character progression/storyline Overlord 2 had executed this department the best. And as far as overall enjoyment and consistency the first Overlord held its place. In the end this series had some of the best entertainment to offer especially in regards to its world building. Unfortunately it was stained with the reputation of having some of the worst CGI that took away from the mood. In conclusion dont focus too much on the moments of CGI because everything else is such a joy to watch Thats why Im giving this season an 8.7/10 because while it was such an entertaining watch......it definitely made some crucial mistakes that couldnt be ignored. Thats all for now though see yall in the next one Streaming Platform: Crunchyroll
