ANIME FIELD NOTES
Overlord
Quick notes for reviewing a match. This page is shorter than our expanded study guides.
Overlord begins with a familiar game environment becoming a very different kind of social situation. The central figure's public authority and private understanding do not always match. Relationships with subordinates make that difference consequential.
What to notice
Distinguish an avatar, a title and the person adopting it. A follower's certainty about a plan may exceed what the leader has actually decided.
Keep these straight
- An avatar name and a personal identity can differ.
- A title of authority is not the same as complete knowledge.
- The game's studio question concerns the television anime rather than the source novels.
