| Need more info about this. Name sounds catchy tho :P |
| First chapter of the novel has already been translated. Here is the description from the group working on it: "A Japanese salary man stays logged in until the online service for the game ends, which results in the creation of a mega plot device similar to SAO and Log Horizon." Source: Mangaupdates |
| "Over Lord", what kind of a name for a light novel is that? It's just two words. Are they even trying? They should have added something plot related to the name like "I didn't want to kiss my sister so I became an Over Lord" or something. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |

| The premise sounds somewhat like LH and SAO in terms of setting. >Reads MU Oh I see. |
 |
| If that synopsis is legit I hope it's like part 1 Log Horizon, the stupid ass kids just ruined the whole 2nd half, ugh :( |
 |
| This is Log Horizon 2.0 |
 |
| I just hope they actually make full use of the potential of the scenario, because IT DOES HAVE A SHITLOAD OF POTENTIAL. It's just no-one in Japan has recognized the full capacity of that looming potential (or at least that said individual hasn't published a book yet). Log Horizon was a step further admittedly, but one can still transpose and apply the detailed political backdrops of a show like Rose of Versailles and Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd Gig into a video game setting more easily than one could possibly think at face value. All the ingredients are there!! USE THEM! PLEASE! However, it is from a light novel so I doubt it will because light novels cater to brainless teenagers 90 percent of the time. |

Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as "the most powerful wizard." The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) begining to feel emotion.

tommy73 said: It's easier to say that for some genre's more so than others. I'm veering towards what Rederoin is saying in most cases, but that comes down more to experience and I have seen quite a handful of shows that appear a certain way at face value but differentiate themselves from common genre stock in quite a few ways.rederoin said: Because we know what the show will turn out like just based on 1 single paragraph.

It's surprisingly easy once you've been here long enough. So yeah it will most likely be bad. Yes, if you were talking about genres. Of course you can't judge an anime solely by its genre because that would be silly. But the synopsis is obviously something like NGNL and SAO mixed together and that really does not sound good. |
Synopsis said: The online game Yggdrasill, which once was hugely popular, is ending its service. Momonga is a player who had reached the top tier in this Yggdrasill world. Even as the end time had arrived, he did not logout. And something strange happened. He was transformed into The Strongest Grand Wizard and ported to another world, a world were the NPC's have emotions. And this Momoka, a young man who has no friend or life, or status, in the real world, vow to grab the top power in this alien world. Synopsis said: And something strange happened. He was transformed into The Strongest Grand Wizard and ported to another world, a world were the NPC's have emotions. Synopsis said: The Strongest Grand Wizard Oh snap, this completely opened my eyes. Tell me where can I purchase all volumes of this novel and preorder the first volume of anime. This is most likely the most promising story I have seen in my whole life. It's not just the best light novel, it's the best piece of literature. This show has potential to surpass even the likes of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. Scratch that, this might have a better story and better characters than Casablanca and Citizen Kane together. I have never been enlightened this much. Thank you Japan for giving us such a great masterpiece that the likes of Hayao Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon or Osamu Dezaki could have never made. I don't know what the writer's called, but he needs some awards and even a medal for creating the best story I will ever read and watch. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| At least the cover and the pics didn't make me want to smash my screen in but i've not been a fan of the MMO based LN's they have chosen to adapt in the last couple of years. |
| This looks uninteresting. |
 |
| Hm... it's... like a parody... Yggdrasil(l), same name and everything. Perhaps I'll watch it. Could be some entertaining comedy, or at least so bad that it's good. |
| OH MY FUCKING GOD OVERLORD YES HOLY SHEEEEEEET I EVEN THOUGHT THAT WAS A DARK KNIGHT FROM DISGAEA 1 I don't know WHAT the fuck this is, but fucking A man, I love that title, Laharl does too, and I can't wait for this, whatever this is. |

You can't just decide that you don't want to log out of a game when they're shutting it down. Even if you tried to stay, you'll get forced out either way. And how was he able to transform into a skeleton overlord, what class was he originally? And because the game shut down, everything just changes out of nowhere, NPC start to have emotions? Also, the part with the MC having no parents, friends, or place in society suggests that he's a NEET. This might sound ignorant, but just from that synopsis, I can tell how the story is going to go. But I could be wrong, I'll probably have to look for translations to see how this is. |

| This has the potential to be amazing as hell if it's like the videogame Overlord and it has players who control vast armies of minions that do separate tasks and stuff lol I honestly think it'll be shit though. |

| Same premise as SAO and Log Horizon, but those shows were really different from one another. Let's see if this show can break itself off from those two. |
Ando- said: Same premise as SAO and Log Horizon, but those shows were really different from one another. Let's see if this show can break itself off from those two. At this point we should just start seeing it as a new setting(i.e fantasy, sci-if, dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic etc..). It was bound to happen with the rise of the popularity of MMOs in the last decade. |
| I only hope that there's no romance |

Oh ffs Japan... if you don't like japanese manga then f*ck off what are you doing here go read your american staff I will just leave this as it is because it is funny enough already. Clearly I hate manga :D |

Jody32 said: To be a true fan of the medium (like any other medium), you need to be able to tear every little piece of it apart Please tell me you're joking... Anyway, on topic - this series isn't really anything more than a name to me. I guess I'll decide whether or not to try it out when we get more information spoonfed to us, as I'm feeling far too lazy to actually look into it. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I don't get why everyone's shitting on this. It doesn't look particularly interesting, but I don't see anything terrible about it either. |
Earwen said: I don't get why everyone's shitting on this. It doesn't look particularly interesting, but I don't see anything terrible about it either. They got SAO stereotype,just hearing VRMMORPG and get stuck in it,they rage,pillage and yell like some barbarians. Actually seen this on animesuki if i'm not wrong... `-` From what i understood the published novel and the web novel have different endings.The web one is the true ending(?) I'm also not intereset on it,the solo thing i liked about this one so far is the art |
 I painted my teary face with a disguised smile[COLOR=#ff3333] and pretended it was a cry out of joy.[/COLOR] |

Mr_Gutts said: Sensus_97 said: Need more info about this. Name sounds catchy tho :P was thinking the same thing I don't want to judge by its name but it sounds really awesome. |
| Apparently the main character is a Lich. That in itself is interesting. The premise is done to death, but the art and character designs are intriguing. I'm not going to judge it right now, and that MangaUpdates synopsis is honestly begging for hate and is pretty shitty. Keeping an eye on this. |
| So the protagonist is a skeleton wizard that wants to rule the world? :O lol The designs are cool and badass thou :O The first 2 volumes already have 1 million in print, this is pretty damn popular :) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-28/over-lord-fantasy-rpg-light-novel-has-anime-in-the-works/.78118 |

| I enjoyed SAO for its stupidity and Log Horizon for its cleverness. Curious what i will enjoy this one for . . (But damn! The illustrations look badass) |
