Season 2 when?

Is Elf King a Player?

inb4 Climbposting

New Overlord Volume, new volume of the official English translation, new animation in the Overlord movie possibly, and a full season 2 of the anime coming soon.
It is a good time to be an Overlord fan. I think it was worth the wait, no?

...

>new volume of the official English translation
We can do without
>new animation in the Overlord movie possibly
rips when?
>full season 2 of the anime coming soon
>soon
I was under impression it would be something like 2018 Fall.

>>soon
>I was under impression it would be something like 2018 Fall.
I more meant SOON™, rather than soon. Either way I'm still hyped. I'm really excited to see Volume 5 and 6 animated.

>2018 Fall
More like summer 2019, and only after OPM season 3.

>5 6
What if they go by chronological order?
4 8 5?
>OPM Season3
What about picrelated?

They're re airing s1 next month so s2 might air in Jan, right on time for vol 13.

>NUTS
>Every female has duck lips and is voiced by Aoi Yuuki
Would anyone whatch that?

I'm kind of dubious about Jan, there would be PV already.
It's also generally a bad idea to air CG-heavy anime anywhere near February.
Everyone watched YS and loved it, you lost, give it up.

>Tanya is transported to NW and meets Ainz
>He tries to make her friends with Aura & Mare since there's no one their age in Nazarick
>Tanya is lodged in the tree house next to Mare's room and close to Aura's
What happens next?

>6 floors deep into the safest place in NW
>protection of OP entities
>Meritocracy
>Don't have to pray to X
Tanya lives in Paradise.

I would.
Best buddies with Mare. She would probably recommend a few good books to him.

>tanya refuses to pray to his new god ainz
>to the black capsule or farm
Sasuga Ainz-sama, filthy atheists are not welcomed here.

Pft, as if Ainz would waste such capable subordinate.
Or demand some kind of worship from them.
Respect for competent superiors - Tanya have plenty of this.
As far as self-inserts go - their authors are best buds too.

>Ainz
>competent superior

Delegating shit to competent subordinates is what Tanya respects deeply.

>Ainz: so what do you think of your new house mates?
>Tanya: I have no complaints, they seem like good kids
>Ainz: heh you talk like an adult, I was hoping maybe you would grow, marry Mare and have kids
>Tanya: w-what?
>Ainz: oh I'm sorry, you see when a man and a woman love each other very much they...

>250k soldiers
Let's discuss. Is it real or Maruyama have shitted here? Even Napoleon hadn't gathered such numbers in one battle.

Kingdom is ~8-9 mil.
It's possible on fertile land, considering Re-Estize is literally NW Middle East - it's supposed to be fertile and easy to breed on.
>Tanya: I saw a deer.
>Ainz: What!? A live one? Like a literally live animal!?
>Tanya: Yes. I also had sex with a girl in college.
>Ainz: What?
>Tanya: What?

>Jircniv walks by during this conversation
>THE DEVIL! he's planning on genociding humanity by breeding us with monsters! does his depravity know no bounds?!

>JUST: Finally a normal looking little girl.
>Ainz: Well, Major Degrucheff here would assist Dragonic Kingdom in repelling Beastmen invasion.
>JUST: ...what force would she command?
>Ainz: She would go alone.
>Tanya 404 beastmen in 3 days
>2.5 days spent flying around looking for them

The new character is Pandora Actor disguise form used to infiltrate.

>Ainz notices that Jircniv starts trying to avoid tanya after this incident
>Assumes its because of an unspoken attraction/crush he has for her
>Decides to try and play wingman with his best buddy
>hilarity ensues

Still no blu-ray raws anywhere?

It probably wouldn't be too hard to support an army that size given the magic the NW commands. Even without magic our world has had battles with 200,000+ combatants on one side since ancient times.
Considering that the NW is supposedly on par with our world due to the advanced nature of magic (as opposed to technology), having an army of 250K wouldn't be too hard. Hell, battles like Leningrad and Stalingrad ballooned to more than a million combatants by the time they were over.

After all, they say that men give best blowjobs.

I would like to add that thanks to magic some things are already on a modern level here. Modern for Satoru's shadowrun future?
So, i will say that my suspension of disbelief is still intact.
What?

if ainzs said that, do you think Jircniv would assume papa bones wanted him as a concubine or something?

>What?
I think he means isekai Yoshida squire.

>"Oh got, destroying my mind, my will and my health is not enough for him!"
>"He wants to destroy my dignity as a man too!"

>Albedo invites Tanya to take a bath with the female Guardians and NPCs
Would her lesbian tendencies kick in?

>got
I started typing in German
*god

Russia's red army had 30 million troops, you force the people to fight and just give them some low tier equipment, you don't even need to feed them.
inb4 NW races can't do something of that level

>lesbian tendencies
I'm pretty sure she has those riled in.
youtu.be/OY9MPruwtQI?t=90

Back to your containment board.

France had 30 millions. And had 550k French soldiers. It would be 150k soldiers for Kingdom in that ratio.
So, can feudal state gather more people than an empire?
> ancient times
As far as I know, Roman empire managed to gather only 95k in one battle.
> Hell, battles like Leningrad and Stalingrad ballooned to more than a million combatants by the time they were over.
Post-Napoleonic era is something absolutely different to the NW.
There are too few mages. And kingdom is especially bad in that area.
Evermore so, magic won't help anything except preserving food maybe?
The same. And as far as I know only 8,5 millions

>ainz becomes curious about the empire's standard of hygiene and cleanliness
>Mostly because some of his subjects are starting to smell like absolute ass, and not just the undead
>Ahhhh, Jircniv san. if you are not busy, would mind showing me to the bathhouse?
>Barely restrained sobbing
>Oh, he must've been offended by the stench to! ah! I'm such a terrible leader! I didn't even think how bad it must've been for humans

>can feudal state gather more people
It can because magic preserves food, serve as communication and also Re-Estize is Egypt flood-plains level of fertile.

>even if they act innocent they're the complete opposite
>men are beasts
Would Tanya be able to fend off Mare's advances?
>Tanya: y-you what are you doing!?
>Mare: Ainz-sama said we should have kids (in the future)!!

>So, can feudal state gather more people than an empire?
Quite possible. It all depends on a median level of medicine and an accessibility to peasants.
>As far as I know, Roman empire managed to gather only 95k in one battle.
Correct me if I'm wrong, user, but they have managed to gather 95k soldiers.
>Post-Napoleonic era is something absolutely different to the NW.
I will go with 'maybe'. NW development level is inconsistent due to magic.

>Would Tanya be able to fend off Mare's advances?
>Mare tries to rape Tanya
>Tanya can't overpower him without Praying
>Prays, activates magic Orb
>Sonzai X tries to pull her into his astral plane to clarify where the fuck did she sod off to
>Gets hit in his face with full force of Nazarick countermeasures system
>Albedo's Death Squad descends on him and astral-smites him out of existence
>Orb still works, but now Tanya doesn't have to pray
That would work out well.

only 2 fucking weeks?
oh fuck i gonna lose internet connection in a month and get it back after next 4, shit

So how do we solve the problem of most Nazarick NPCs not being very smart

I know your pain user.
They sent me on a work trip during dwarves, I had to do a 200km round trip to get daily dose from Nigel because there were no internet.
I thought about breaking a leg so that I won't have to go.

by using brutal force and good manners

I didn't realize it before this scene.

Just going off quick google searches, here's some large ancient battles.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae
>480 BC
120,000–300,000 is the modern estimate for the Persian forces.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Plataea
>479 BC
Herotodus estimates the Achaemenid Empire fielded 300,000 (plus 50,000 Greek allies), Diodorus estimates 500,000, and modern estimates put it around 70,000–120,000 including allies.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaixia
>202 BC
600,000–700,000 on the Han side alone.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Changping
>262 BC to 260 BC
450,000 for the Zhao state, 550,000 for the Qin state.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Red_Cliffs
>208 AD
220,000-800,000 claimed on Cao Cao's side.

You do realize how fucking hard it is to estimate number of participants from records?
You can easily be off by an order of magnitude and then some.

Would Tanya object to marrying a non-human like Mare and having his children if it meant a life of comfort, tranquility and owlbear sex?

would jircniv?

>non-human
Irrelevant, he's humanoid and cute.
>life of comfort, tranquility
Certainly yes!
>owlbear sex, having children
I'm not sure he came around his sexuality after coming to NW.
That and his body all fucked up from malnutrition and combat drugs, Tanya may not ever have libido at all.

>we're being invaded by Tanyafags
I would rather have threads about Enri vs GS again.

I'm just going off the general consensus as to the reliability of the figures. They could be off, but they could also be (relatively) accurate as well. I don't think 250k is so far out of the question in a fantasy setting that is said to be just as advanced as the modern world due to magical development.

if ainz gave jircniv a race change item to save his life/ ensure his friend rules the empire forever.

What race do you think he'd turn him into?

There's nothing to discuss: GS has no reason to target Enri's gobs and he can't deal with whole WAAAGH anyway.
>just as advanced as the modern world due to magical development.
I think that's an overstatement.
Maybe Empire or ST is, Kingdom is typical feudal shithole, for the most part.
>250k is not out of the question
Well I agree, their territory is sizable but land is fertile so food should be abundant even with regular saber-rattling from Empire side.
With [Preserve] it should pose no problem to round up 3% of your population as levies.
NK has what, 25%?

Something to keep his prided appearance and keep him capable to sire children.
Maybe some angel shit?

>What race do you think he'd turn him into?
Chair's pet vampire.

>With [Preserve] it should pose no problem to round up 3% of your population as levies.
>NK has what, 25%?
Who knows. I can tell you that the American Civil War had around 5-6% of our entire country (3 million-ish) enlisted though.
With the level of healing magic present in the New World you wouldn't probably anywhere near the same level of post-battle casualties we suffered due to lack of medical technology and unhygienic practices. The fact that your magically preserve and create food would also work wonder for creating large food stores to support an army of such a size. Even if the magically created food is nigh unpalatable, it'll still be better than starving.
Granted, you'd probably have more civilians die of famine if you conscripted 6% of your countries total population of farmers during harvest time but the actual battle and post-battle casualties might be less severe than in our own world, making large scale battles in the NW much more feasible from a military mortality perspective. It really depends on how much food preservation and generation can supplement the civilian food production for me. It's hard to say without more information, but desu I don't think it'll break my immersion either way.

>JUST will inadvertantly win the Ainzbowl.

>malnutrition and combat drugs
>Ainz: you're very thin, how old are you?
>Tanya: fifteen
>Ainz uses Wish to give Tanya a developed woman's body
>pheromones kick in
Would she be interested in boys after that?

Guys, aren't mages rare? I don't think even empire can fully maintain their 60k with healers and magic preservation. Leaving Kingdom aside.

And healing is in charge of temples. So, I believe, Kingdom effectively has no healers on the battlefield.

How do you think the other contestants for Papa bones' bone would react?

Elf king is a player.

>fifteen
Her hormones should have already kicked in several years ago.

If Tanya ends up in NW, heck, chances are

>Ainz treats her as a little girl
> Gets dolled up by Pestonya, Yuri and Nigerdo
>CZ thinks of her as a playmate. Brings her around to look for soft furry animals
>Shalltear, Solution and Entoma gives her the "You are prey" look
>Aura tries to hook her up with Mare

>Tanya pisses herself every time she sees Ainz

Man.. you guys reminded me of Soon to be homeless user when OL book 9 drops.

I wonder how is he now. Heck how many of you guys still remember him.

Leave The Sorcerer King to me.

An immortal human (if that has a race change, which most probably does in a way or another)

What if he wanted to be just like Ainz?

Ainz will only stop the moment Jircniv kills himself (enough times to turn into dust),
Thinking about it, is he lv10 or something ? or lv3 4 ?

He has already given Fluder his Book of the Dead, which is the first step on that particular path (although being the autist he is, he likely has multiple copies).

It's a low level item after all. He for sure has more than one somewhere in Nazarick even if doesn't himself.

what is Renner going to class change to

I don't think she's gonna give up her human form, so at very least something that can go back to "human" or hide the non human parts (like Solution, chair, Nabe, CZ, Yuri...)

How far would jircniv go to ensure his kingdom survives in this scenario?

Renner:"Look Climb!"

*pops of her head*

Renner:"I am a dullahan now that means you can carry me around where ever you go and i can be close to you!"

>Tells her no.
>I MUST PROTECT ALL OF YOU!
>she goes into her room to masturbate furiously

I hope he's better. He was trying to improve his Shalltear drawings last time I remember

Horray I suppose

Obviously doppel.

Did the SPLAT goats stay summoned? DK's stay summoned because of a corpse, the goats certainly had enough corpses. Are they just sitting around nazarick?

Think we'll find out more about Demiurge's farm?

No, Goats disappeared after some time, I guess it's Super Tier summon for you.

I hope not.

Are those male valkyries?

Yes. The shitposter memed them in reality. Next is either baby or genderbent shota joining nazarick.

I think only the left warrior sidekick is male, Valkyrie should be the central unarmed figure, to the right is a support Cleric with a mace.

Those please.

His mother or a older relative should be since he's so OP vs rest of the world and yet he knows jackshit about how "Yggdrasil power/skills" form judging by how he tries to kill his subjects on random and has no idea why they can't level up.

Well sending them to war is right decision, in a way.

Yeah at least that works somewhat but sadly his subjects seem to be obliged by fear in the end.
Hopefully Mare & Aura go and trash him and Mare gets picked up as a God and Aura runs away from bothersome duties.
