Overlord: Dark Fantasy Anime That Will Make You Happy

As we all know, many Gary Stu anime has been come out in recent years. These anime can be said to cater to the market. There are many Gary Stu anime series, but I think only those anime made with good quality and leave an impression on us are not so many.



Today I am going to introduce you to a Gary Stu anime, that can be said as one of the top Gary Stu - Overlord. From the big category, Overlord is considered a fantasy game crossover anime. The protagonist always acts free of weaknesses probably that is the reason why Overlord is loved by fans.



Let's go into the plot. The protagonist Suzuki Satoru is just a general young man in the real life, but he has another identity in the popular online game YGGDRASIL - he is  Guild Leader of Ainz Ooal Gown. In the game, Satoru is played as a skeletal "Overlord" character named Momonga.


Momonga along with other members led the guild to become one of the strongest guilds in the game.



However, no matter how popular the game is, there will be one day players return to real life. At the beginning of the story, the popular online game YGGDRASIL ushered in the last day of the game servers shut down. For the love of the game, Momonga decided to stay in the game till the shutdown. He modifies the setting of NPC Albedo, the Overseer of the Guardians, out of playfulness, changing Albedo's setting to like himself. ( Although this seems to have brought him some trouble later on the basis of increased loyalty.)



When the clock pointed to 0:00, the server should be shut down at this moment but not. Momonga did not log out of the game, and the time continued to pass. He still stays in the game after the shutdown time of 0:00,  and even the log-out page in the game also disappeared. Soon he found that NPCs, who are supposed to be no self-awareness,  begin to show sentience.



Momonga realized that he was trapped in the game. And now the world of the game seems to have some differences from the original world of the game. Besides the Great Tomb of Nazarick and Floor Guardians have not changed, the rest of the world is completely new to Momonga.


Since he is here,  he may as well stay and make the best of it. After that, Momonga changed his name to Aniz Ooal Gown, the name of the original guild. On the other hand, while he exploring the new world, he also looking for a way to go back to the real world.



However, he found that he really cannot go back to the real world. Soon he began the journey of conquest in the world. He tested the loyalty of his subordinates to make good use of them. He successively conquered the Carne Village and Lizardmen Settlement through the means of gentleness or force, then finally succeeded in building a country. It must be said that the abilities of all members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are at the top of the world.



Everyone not only has the top level of abilities but also each one has their own strengths. For example, the event of the conquest of the world really relies on the perfect planning of Commander Demiurge. After all, wisdom is another high level of strength.


In addition, all people of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are very loyal to Aniz, like the head butler Sebas Tian, who has a strong sense of justice, executes the order from Aniz to kill the woman, Tuareninya, whom he saved without any hesitation. I think his absolute obedience is not from the fear of Anzi, but the kind of obedience inherent in his soul.



So far, Overlord has released three series of animations. Almost every year I will repeat to watch it just because I love it so much. I love its plot and characters like Aniz's Homunculus Maids and Albedo. They are all impressive.



For those of you who love Gray Stu anime, I highly recommend you to watch Overlord. It really has a nice plot and story setting.


Alright, that's all for today's content. Everyone, go catch up on some shows!
