Overlord - Ch. 75

[forecast]

Hold the comments, my internet is chanting a long freaking spell on the first page.


Ok, glad to see the internal monologues. Still prefer the art of the novel but it's nice to see this without the weird cgi.

Bruh, the fuck is that first page.

In retrospective, it's crazy that if King actually stood his ground and died on battlefield

Spoiler: Spolier

the whole carnage that followed could be avoided

. I mean his inability to take any actual actions, while having all means to it, is that truly lead to the end that Kingdom got.

The guy who goes "I don't want to be on this battlefield" should reflect on the fact that all the men there didn't really want to be either.

War's a fools errand. Only when the guys at the top risk their own lives do they understand it.

Chapter 76 is already out on Mangasee

Looks like they removed all credits from the chapters. What a classy site.

I don't know.
Everything looks so Majestic in manga rather than the anime.
Maybe its just my preference

The anime was bad and quite low budget adaptation since day one. I have no idea why people think it's good, or that it can continue on with 3 seasons. Oh, and they skipped an entire long arc in the last season, because cheap CGI baby monster goats weren't enough.

It's honestly amazing how much better the manga carries the tone of the books. The anime looks like hot trash in comparison.

Controversial opinion: Credits page animation is innovative and looks great!
(Though one can can say this sitting on 5G, loading up the whole chapter in seconds. 🙈 I suppose those on weaker connections could switch to a single page mode and just choose to skip the first page - or just restrict/ban the .gif fileformat in their browser settings.)

Controversial opinion: Credits page animation is innovative and looks great!

I don't think that's really controversial. I'm following a number of series with animated credit pages, and Overlord is the only one where I'm complaining about it. What's controversial is that this single credit page is almost twice the size of the entire rest of the chapter.

According to my browser, the credit page was 40 MB, and the rest of the chapter was only 26 MB. 40 MB is the equivalent of a 3 minute long FullHD video at 24 FPS. Interestingly, I should've been able to download the entire 66 MB chapter in only 5 seconds with my 100 Mbps connection, yet somehow it took 50 seconds instead. That's 10 times as long. This is a sign that the MangaDex content servers are throttling, which is itself a sign that they are struggling with traffic (or were struggling with it in the past).

While it's great that you don't care thanks to your 5G connection, MangaDex is still a free service hosted on real servers with real bandwith limits. You're not a new user. Like me, you've been around since the beginning of MangaDex. I'm sure you remember the times when MangaDex was utterly unusable due to traffic congestions. Using up 2/3 of that bandwidth with a credit page that people will at best only read the first time and at worst skip altogether is a huge disservice to all of us, not just the ones with limited data rates or slow connections. Frankly, such behavior should not be encouraged.

I don't mind animated credit pages, as long as it's reasonable. This is anything but.

Now it's ironic and sad how the man who advised not to have a fight with Ainz is going to die with the people that're still alive at this moment to the very same Ainz who wanted to recruit him by bargaining lives of the said people.

 

[Zael]

Very good points, I stand corrected. That being said, doesn't MD use some resizing service, such as Thumbor that would automatically compress unnecessarily big images? (Though those typically have issues with animated files.)

I still don't understand why Gazef chose to be selfish

It's not like I'm trying to promote the site or anything. Just wanted to tell for those who want or can't wait to read the next chapter, they don't need to wait. 👍
