Log Horizon

Log Horizon

With over 20 million players worldwide, Elder Tale is one of the hottest online RPGs. At least, it used to be only a game, until the fateful day that tens of thousands of players became stuck in the virtual world, unable to log out. For these would-be knights, healers and magicians, Elder Tale is no longer a hobby, it’s a reality, complete with tasteless in-game food, revivals upon death, and boring NPC conversations! With no other options than to accept their fates, the analytical Shiroe, perverted-and-proud Naotsugu, tiny and adorable Akatsuki and other new friends must adjust to their new lives in Elder Tale, avoiding player killers and monsters along the way!

Both series initaially take place in a VRMMORPG setting.  Both series also have a point where something happens and the Player Characters (or more precisely in Overlords case, Player Character) become trapped in the virtual world they had been logging into.  Their new world becomes their reality and they must choose what the path ahead of them is.  Try to find a way "home" or take over the "world"?

Death Note Rewrite 1: Visions of a God

Death Note Rewrite 1: Visions of a God

Yagami Light is an unusually bright high school student who has found himself disillusioned and bored with both life and the world. When he stumbles upon a strange book entitled Death Note, however, this all changes. In an attempt to purge the world of evil, he uses the book's powers to claim the lives of criminals and establish himself as a god. Not long after his quest begins, though, he finds himself confronted by a man calling himself "L" who vows to put an end to Light's reign of tyranny before it can begin. With two genius intellects at odds, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, and with it can be only one winner - who will prevail?

Death Note Rewrite - The Visualizing God = Overlord: Fushisha no OuExcited for some new animation for a beloved series, a sidestory featuring a character that could be fleshed out, or a new perspective on how certain events went down, you are looking in the wrong place.While both of these may appear to be providing new information they are simply recaps with a few tweaks.

While Ryuk does make an appearance from the Shinigami realm in Death Note Rewrite and there are some new scenes in Overlord: Fushisha no Ou, neither compilation adds anything of significance to their respective series.

Unless you are too lazy or too uninterested in either anime to watch all the eps time would be better spent on watching something else.

However if you did enjoy either you’d probably like the other because they are basically the same. For people who like spoilers and/or those who simply don’t care because the anime doesn’t spark enough interest to invest the time necessary for watching the full series these work as a way of getting a jist of what went down in 25 eps [Death Note] and 12ish eps [Overlord].

Neither recap covers the full events of the series so if you are looking to bypass the time needed to watch 37 eps of Death Note and the first season of Overlord then you’re still not over the hill with either of these, you’ll have to invest some more time if you wanna see what happens in the finales.
