TL;DR Disappointing. Don't watch this, read the novel. They try to do too much and as such none of it is done well. This sequel is disappointing. It has some interesting things, but it suffers from light novel syndrome. An anime is shorter than a light novel, and they try to include too much. So instead of getting a story that is gripping and entertaining, you have episodes following stories that just don't seem important because they aren't tied to the characters we care about, or they just don't finish... Also, all the story things happening last season? Yeah, nothing is answered at all. Just more questions. Looks like it is setting up to be one of those things with 100+ episodes, and ain't nobody got time for dat shit. Also, the animation is really clumsy in this one. I didn't notice in the first season because the story gripped me enough. Music works. Nothing special to see here. A couple characters get some good development. New characters turn up and get no development. Overall, it left me liking an old character more, and just despising everyone else. Overall, I'd say don't watch this if you have anything better to do. Like knitting socks for your computer desk. Read the novel thing. This feels like its just pulling bits of it at random, and doesn't feel like a story anymore. Also, dear Japan, please stop making anime out of things written by 12 year olds.

Ainz/Momon continues his "world conquest?", except this season he rarely makes an appearance and the whole season feels like world building and as cute as lizard people in love are and as interesting as Sebas gaining an ego is, I just wished that some parts would have been given less screen time and other more. Supposed real people acting chuuni as hell and while this is mostly cringy, it occasionally makes one smile. How dare they give best girl Nabe so little screen time!? Makes me sad :( One question must be asked: Where did the money go? After the success of the first season and manga/LN, one might think that Season 2 would get an even bigger budget than Season 1, but if so why did the overall quality drop? Story is all over the place and generally a mess, yet I still find myself liking most parts, especially when Ainz isn't acting like a massive a-hole. Animation is good, but not as good as the 1st season. Same-ish sound design, pretty good. More than half of the characters are full of themselves, Ainz is still a bad actor and I see no real reason why he continues to act the way he does (other than fearing the NPC's abandoning him, maybe there is some force that is forcing him without his knowledge).

I would say 1st season was good don't bother watching 2nd and 3rd season there is nothing good.. it's just waste of time.. no story progresses at all..  Kinda got bored by how op the main character is.. there is not even single decent villain to oppose him, and at some point main character starts to look like bad guy.. while other characters trying thiier best to defeat him.. I kinda routed for them.. I dnt know wt creators were thinking.. by doing this.. atleast they could have shown opponent in bad light  but no they all are good people trying to survive.. and main character killing all of them That's much summaries how bad it is.. bt anyway it's just 13 episodes each season so people end up watching it, like me..
