I don't want to get overly excited because remembering Overlord season 1 opening also had a ton of scenes that were only in much later seasons. But thinking about what happens, it all really does hit the fan all at once now that I remember.
Oh and I meant to say definitely recognize the OP band from the first season, good to hear them again, really like the original OP
The new OP is so hype and also spoils so much! Though I can't believe it if they're going to go through all of what was shown, what a wild ride the rest of the cour will be. I've certainly forgotten about some events and specifically when things happen, surprised to already see them happening. And also really interested in the fact that some things haven't been cut, like I would've expected the church stuff to be cut (I might be forgetting anything related to it a bit, I know there is some importance there, as we got a shot through the veil right at the end, but could see it as something to speed past if they wanted to, them taking their time is a good sign).
This episode felt like it paced itself so well to where when the halfway mark showed up I thought the episode was over, felt like it had already been an hour.
Lots of foreshadowing this episode. And once again, think a lot of this was moved forward from where it was in WN. Overall that seems like a good thing to me, I think the story really shines with all its foreshadowing/misdirection on why a scene is important. But it can get a little much as it feels like it has to constantly remind the audience of everyone's backstory every time they appear.
This may come close to what OP is looking for as it includes reasons for the tags such as gore or spoiler
:o I didn't even know they were making a tower of god season 2, hype
I can think of Forspoken and Deathloop
Oh I forgot to mention, the Shiki stuff was pretty cool to see animated. Isolated it almost could look like he's the main character here.
Shiki's power
I don't think this is a spoiler since it all happened in the past but it's cool to note the rings he used were the rings they gave him to try to make his mana barely comparable to Makoto's, which then became part of him. I can't quite recall but I imagine 13 steps is related to each ring, I think I vaguely recall them saying something like double up rings on his fingers because 10 wasn't enough.
It has been a while since I read the WN, but I don't remember this mana matter stuff.
Hmm, I could be misremembering but I don't quite remember it being this early either, I thought it was first introduced in the next arc, or the one after it. Honestly not sure where they're separated. Once they got to Rotsgard in the manga I was like "Oh my favorite arc is coming up" and that was three years ago, and it's still probably a year or more before it even gets there.
With this episode I think it passed the manga as well? Crazy fast pacing, or I guess skipping a lot of stuff, which much like season one may be good or might be bad if they ever have to go back to it
I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn't quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.
And since I commented on foreshadowing last time, my favorite foreshadowing moment this episode goes to
