[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Overlord won for anime of the month for March!

[image error]

So far, this is three seasons and has 14 light novels, 12 translated, and a manga adaptation.
For this moth, we will try and watch Season 1, and if anyone wants to continue, feel free!

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I have not read or watched anything Overlord so I am looking forward to checking out season one.

Thank you for running this for us Jenny.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Oh, you are in for a treat Greg! I really like this series! It's mostly safe as well, there is some inuendo and there is blood, but neither are detailed.
And you're welcome Greg, I hope this will work out as well as MOTM is!

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Also worth mention both the Sub and the Dub for Overlord are available to stream on both Hulu and the Funimation streaming service.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

The dub is pretty good, no anoying voices, which is my main complaint with most animes.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Yeah I don't think the dub argument is really valid much anymore. Pretty much anything that came out dubbed after 2010 really wasn't that terrible. For me going back and watching Trigun or Love Hina compared to anything I've watched in the last decade is not even comparable. You'll get a few rough characters here and there but all in all I can't think of anything.

Now that Japanese voice actor for Black Clover......shudder....

he got much better after a dozen episodes or so.

Already added it to my funimation account. I can't wait to watch it!

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I have watched the first 6 episodes. I like it thus far. Albedo is quality Waifu material. It really is a run of the mill video game isekai however I love those so I'm not complaining.

It makes me want to check out the novel series as well however my TBR on novel series is through the roof and I need to be choosy otherwise I will get none read.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I love this series so much, of course it's the only isekai I've ever watched or read other than Hack. My friend has started calling his wife Albedo cause of this too haha

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I finished the series last night. (Well season 1 anyway). I think the first few episodes were the best. It was pretty consistently good except the last 4 episodes felt a bit rushed and I didn't really understand what the hell was going on.

[Kyllan]

I totally get that Greg I didn’t either. lol 😂

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

So, for April do we want to do movie and series? Just movie or just series?

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I’m down for which ever. As long as it’s not a super lengthy series I can usually find time to squeeze it in.

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Ok, I plan to put up suggestions thread Saturday, so give everyone time to weigh in!

I saw the first episode of it and thought it was pretty meh. Guess I'm the unpopular opinion. I do plan to continue on eventually though. just don't know when. haha
