Overlord S3 beated. Oh hey, that turned itself around! The first arc was alright. I don't actually remember reading it in the LN, so maybe they changed the order around? Didn't have any big problems, but it wasn't super exciting either, honestly. As I said early, the second arc sucked and I didn't like anything about it. Thankfully, the final arc was a great return to form. It felt like the first actual "plot progression" since the first season, honestly, and it was the first evidence we've seen that Nazarick can actually add to the show in a while. All of the world building and characters from the last few arcs have been cool, but Nazarick hasn't fit in in an interesting way. This arc finally made Nazarick a major player again, and everything that happened was very compelling. I enjoy the setup of Nazarick as a villain for the world to beat quite a bit. The only disappointing thing is that we still haven't really seen any high level enemies yet. I know the Slane Theocracy is supposed to be the strongest natural inhabitants of the world, and they're mentioned here as potential enemies of Nazarick, but they make no appearance. We know other Players are in this world, but we still haven't seen any of them. And we still have no info about how/why Nazarick was brought to this world, after three full seasons (contrast this with Re:Zero, where we find out some major details pretty early, and in a very compelling way that's an important part of the story). Anyway, none of this was a huge issue, but this really feels like the point in the story where we should be hearing more about it. So while the ending was quite good, I'd still rank the seasons 1 > 2 > 3.

Edit: Also, I'm not really a fan of Albedo and Demiurge, so it's kinda disappointing that they get more focus than the other floormasters this season.
