I don't get it, is this just overlord with way less edge and slightly better writing?
>>282301946I think that statement describes most isekais
>>282301946considerably worse writing.ftfy
>>282301946It's the most isekai to over isekai, but it's fun and that's good enough for me. also, nice milim tummy pero pero pero pero
>>282301946Overlord is for Guildwars2fagsSlime is for 4X addicts
>>282301946In Slime at least some of the bad guys in the universe are temporarily threats. In Overlord the weakest character on the protagonist's side can oneshot the universe. Overlord has cooler characters, althoughbeit.
>>282301946>overlord with way less edge and slightly better writing?more popular better budget.>writingthey didn't need to adapt all those meetings. but muh written by japanese engineer salaryman.
>>282302648>worse writing than overlordPhysically impossible.
>>282302695>It's the most isekai to over isekai, but it's fun and that's good enough for me.that is Eminence Shadow>>282302773>4Xthat's Mynorghahowuspellit: Civ wars of Ruin.
>>282302923i want Evileye to get married and animated.
>>282302934Mynoghra isn't 4X. It's team 4X vs any old bullshit. Basically a powerlevel pissing contest
overlord with more meetings
>>282301946Overlord is like 100000 times better than that slime garbage
>>282304530This.
>>282301946Slime would've been great as a city building game
>>282304530if you believed that you would have filtered slime isekai years ago
>>282305904fake nerd boy detected
Anything "isekai" is crap by default. Even the oldschool isekai still start with handicap at best.It's the lowest quality of writing you can imagine>no real backstory>lazy setting>built around a one-dimensional "twist">no plotlineWe used to mock fanfictions, I think I'll take an Evangelion self-insert fanfic over the average isekai.
>>282307105Woah, most original post, ever! Take my upboat, plebbitbro!
>>282302695>also, nice milim tummy pero pero pero peroThis right here is the only good thing about it.
>>282301946No, it's Overlord with way less edge and much worse writing.And I'm not saying Overlord is by any means well written.
>>282307364Also the story would be way better itf the slime remianed a slime and just enjoyed Millim's tummy.
>>282307364milim is the only good thing in that show.
>>282307213>low effort
>>282301946Girls should always be showing as much butt as Milim
>>282302291Retard

>>282302934>Eminence Shadowcringe r*ddit show. normalfaggot trash. When I saw the threads hit bump limit I knew the tourist infestation was terminal
>>282308269you first, foid
>>282312204You take that back, how dare you insult my elf harem power fantasy anime
>>282312204Kys
>>282301946It's something that specifically normalfags hate. Meanwhile both the return-to-MONKEE unga-bunga one-digit IQ audience, as well as high 150+ IQ audience such as middle-managers and richfags like boardroom members including CEOs absolutely love TenSura. The richfags among the audience in particular make up the core audience. That's why unlike almost everything else this can actually afford to publish like 8 or so different spin-offs simultaneously. This fanbase is also very stable and has an immovable floor, so unlike most battle-shounen it will keep going relatively strong even in times where there is no new hype sales-driving content as we have right now until the second movie airs early next year.
>>282307405I wish someone would write Overlord but better.None of the imitators have managed to scratch the same itch.
>>282304530Overlord more like Overhyped lol
>>282301946Tensura also has way better production values and action sakuga.
>>282314266>timestops >casts inst-- the timestop didn't work?! Ahaem, well, you see, I saw that coming from the very beginning!
>>282304530Nah. Overlord is 3dcg infested cancer.
>>282301946I believe they have enough differences beyond "overpowered MC demonlord":- Rimuru becomes a menace to the rest of the world half because he wants to protect his people and half because the advancements in science and magic he pushes scare the neighbouring countries. Ainz becomes a menace because his lackeys minsunderstand everything he says and does, they make up some kind of masterplan of world conquest on their own and follow it.- Rimuru has had enemies that gave him trouble at some point, even after becoming a demon lord. Ainz barely puts some effort even in the battles where he severely nerfs himself.- Rimuru is trying to improve his new world through advancements in science, magic, even gastronomy or logistics. Ainz (as far as I remember from the anime) only wanted to find his old friends
>>282301946Overlord at least presents an interesting story by focusing on the normal people and Nazarick playing along to their rules mostly. Ainz is uneducated and paranoid which creates quite entertaining sciences.Ainz is neither evil nor good due to his upbringing and undead nature. He doesn't like uncessary death, on the other hand we would do anything for Nazarick. That includes protection which requires sacrifices and more importantly satisfying the NPCs evil desires. He doesn't want to throw innocent people to the wolves or rather monsters for example, but allows whatever the fuck Demiurge was doing aside from skinning children and force feeding them to their parents because it serves to help Nazarick. Slime from what I've seen is pretty black and white. A rather simple story with issues that can be easily overcome by the gathering of the most powerful people unified under a slime with modern Japanese sensibilities.
>>282315401Ok, wait , the last point came out as unfair: Ainz only wants to find his old friends, and even though his actions have proved beneficial for the world at times (like improving the life of the people in the territories he rule or toppling evil organizations), they're often just side effects, or steps to achieve an potentially worse goal
>>282301946>slightly better writingI can't let that one slide. Slime is about as cookie cuter an isekai as it gets. That does not make for "better writing".
>>282302773>Guildwars2fagsMore like D&D Online.
>>282315401Huh, I thought Slime steamrolled everything. I might give it another try after all.Regarding Ainz he's trying to improve things too, I guess. It's just very focused and born out of selfish desires. What I really like is that despite Albedo being a horrible bitch who did unspeakable things at the end of the day she has to pull all nighters doing office work. It's really funny to show the complexity and boring work that comes with managing a city.
>>282315734To clarify, I only know up to what the manga covered
>>282301946I actually enjoyed the first season or so of slime, but I'm not that big of a fan of battleslop. After that it just kind of turned into "how overpowered can we make the main cast" and I got bored. Still watched because sometimes shit gets funny.
>>282316456There's 12 episodes of the slice of life slimeslop with no battles. I watched it recently, it wasn't really anything special but it sure did waste my time well.
>>282316588Yeah, that was great. They should just ignore the rest of the LNs and make more of Tensura Nikki. The gobbo babies are cute as hell.
>>282316615For me it was Milimkino
There's also skeleton isekaiWhich is like if Overlord didn't have Nazarick, so Ainz could just goof off doing whatever he wanted
>>282301946it was originally what happens when you let a civil engineer write an isekaiand then rimuru becomes god and it turns into trash like every other isekai
>>282315734nigger he becomes so fucking overpowered even the author has him hide in the background "to protect" him and banishes him to the shadow realm for an entire volume because he could basically nuke everything with his mastery over>flow of time>quantum physics>atomic fusion/fissioneveryone was hoping the LN would avoid the shitty ending the WN reached, and it doesn't look like it willto address >>282315401 specifically>human gets isekai'd into world as slime>leads goblins>naively wants to get along with humans>uses human knowledge to accelerate technology>goblins get slaughtered by greedy humans>spends rest of series advancing tech whilst getting dragged into wars and curb stomping everyone because he and his minions are too powerful>until the author himself has to intervene
>>282317411>>282317552It takes some true lack of ability to not even understand the most surface-level content...
>>282318652anime-only fags are the true retards
>>282301946They are both trash. I dislike anime with OP MCs that win 99% of fights without breaking a sweat. The only exception is Saitama.
>>282316615>ignore the rest of the LNsCorrect, but Clayman Revenge should now become the main series.
>>282302648>>282304530>>282314266Overlord has no payoff, every arc feels like a self contained story with no impact. The lizardmen bull crap is the biggest offender
>>282320446I was okay with the lizardmen stuff until they just threw in a graphic sex scene. Like, really, man, there's so many thirsty girls in this show and the one sex scene is the fucking lizards? The lizards, fucking? Give me a break dude
>>282302291No. Most isekai don't have the protag becoming a monster and a ruler of a monster nation.
>>282301946Overlord is New Game + Isekai where you spawn in massively overpowered and competent. Slime is New Game Isekai, where you spawn in weak and have to powerlevel to get to be OP, while learning the world. Most Isekai are in this category, but occasionally you get some like Overlord in New Game + mode.
>>282307105>Anything "isekai" is crap by default.Well, duh, it's fantasy writing with cheats turned on because the protag is always generic Japanese herbivore black company employee or NEET number 47384 (black co employee gets slow life, NEET gets adventure). It's made worse with the copy-paste from either vidya, DND, LTR, etc. and usually is a one gimmick trick pony. Isekai'd as a sword, gatcha, vampire, onsen, catgirl, hero, mob, edgelord, slavemancer, assassin, minecrafter, etc. All one trick, played out in general fantasy town with elves, beastmen, lords and ladies, and of course - gods and magic.
>>282301946
>>282301946It's two sides of the same coin.
>>282302291did your bot break or something? the only other one aside from overlord and slime that qualifies as similar is remonster>>282304530i take it you haven't read the elf volumes?
>>282312204threads of TLs of kage chapters are some of the oldest isekai discussed as chapters came out in this board third only to slime and MT anonit is literally one of the progenitors (at least the now deleted taepodong version is)
>>282315401>- Rimuru has had enemies that gave him trouble at some point, even after becoming a demon lord. Unironically fucking who aside from yuuki and the emperor who are effectively the last and penultimate bosses respectively? That one hinata fight relatively early into the series?
>>282315673>Slime is about as cookie cuter an isekai as it gets.it really isn't, kingdom builder shit is rare and even within those few try to emulate slimewhich is good because slime is dogshit
>>282318652>>282324129
Watched the Overlord movie a few days ago and holy fuck was it bad. The animation wasn't very good with all the cgi and the plot was complete nonsense
Woah is that "weakest skill/monster but I become the strongest"?!?!? Please hurry up and kill me
Kiss Kumoko's silky butt
>>282312204This. The show is pretty much "ironic humor: The anime"
>>282324737did you only watch tiktok clips of people talking about it or something? it's as unironic as it getsthe anime and LN at least, the manga is indeed ironic goyslop
>>282324614that bug had me acting unwise, shame the rest of the adaptation was hilariously bad
>>282325186NTA, the anime was a train wreck especially any time the humans were on screen. I've heard the LNs were good though. I'll have to read it eventually.
>>282324199>I'm a U.S president who got transported to another world.I'd read it if the narration really was like this.I had to drop slime several episodes in, because I was naive enough to think it'd actually be about a slime, with all the limitations and struggles that a slime would have, rather than being an OP demigod several episodes into the story.(Overlord on the other hand felt all over the place to me. They should've either stick to the benevolent dictator shtick or committed to being genocidal maniacs from the start. After certain point I couldn't really care about anything that happens.)
>>282324199it just dawned on me how much of Slime is basically just Rimiru using a magical AI to vibe-code spells for him
>>282326906Rimuru is retroactively the first MC to ever use AI to solve all his problems and get away with it.
>>282326959what about Goku: Midnight Eye?
>>282324199Thanks for posting your brain filter and how it translates the written words. It really helps me prove my point, so I appreciate it.
We could've had real isekai kino.
