World Building in Anime (Overlord & Darling in the Franxx)
Stupid Sexy Skeletons, or Stupid Sexy Robots? Whatever you choose, you’re in for some great world building. I dunno, it made sense in my head.

Guys! I'mma start this here because he showed pictures of the books. Since all additions to Greek mythology for the most part are novels and such, like the Iliad. So, since most additions are stories, do the Percy Jackson series count as a modern day contribution to the actual Greek mythology.
Hey, if they're dubbing RE:Zero… Then does this mean we might be getting a dubbing for KonoSuba soon!?!?
The Lizardmen were dope. I love how the two Shasa brothers were randomly named after Persian kings. (Zariusu = Darius; Shasuryu = Cyrus).
>>…do you ever explain to your friends the intricacies of high-rise living or how the internal combustion engine changed the world in casual conversation?
I do… I do stuff like that quite often. I'm not a real person, I guess. orz
oh wait, are the kids actually havings sex?
i think anime as to be related with someone is enough in this todays world
at least i did moved on to anime i hate but can never get over sao
What show is this? 1:23
A lot of times when I’m thinking about how something looks I’ll spend like 5 minuets explaining it to myself even though I already know what it looks like
I agree with all your points, Geoff, except that one just… doesn't align, with reality as I know it. I'm explaining random bits of things here and there (such as your example of the internal combustion engine) all the time. I'm subscribed to the Today I Found Out channel on YouTube, which exists to explain things like the history behind a baker's dozen. Someday, I'll probably explain to my nephew why a bicycle can stay up on just two wheels. Expository dialog can be terrible in fiction and is narratively lazy, but that doesn't mean it's not a common thing in the real world.
Overlord is my guilty pleasure anime, I just love it so much because they have MC that to OP without any suddenly increased power in the middle of a battle, he just OP, because he is and seeing people in awe of his power, is so entertaining for me.
We get it, Jeff, you have bad taste in anime.
If you still do ops you should do the tower of druaga there ops are super trolls
Darling in the franxx had a lot of world building problems in the the 1st ep imo. I mean seriously how the heck have they survived this long!? The kids just graduated in the first episode and they bearly know how to fight as is. When the monsters attacked literally nobody was prepared to fight/sent anyone other than Zero Two who just arrived that same day not to mention she would have lost the fight if Hiro didn't have protagonist powers. Literally the defense of the plantation is 4 robots piloted by kids who just graduated and obviously very little actually combat experience. Also the guns on the plantation literally kills nothing nor slowed down the monsters either. If attacks like this happen often how do they survived b4 ep 1? The last bunch of kids obviously been gone for quite a while considering the beach episode so what kind of defenses did they have between the old team and the team they have now? They lived in the same house but know nothing of each other so it's clear a long time between then and now has passed. Also geothermal power for the mobile plantation knowing the monsters are attracted to geothermal energy and fighting back with mechs that uses geothermal powered weapons? Complaints aside I do love the animation.
Jeff, when you gonna analyze Sugar Song and Bitterstep?
We want more world building episodes!!!!
Wnat's the anime at 0:15? I need to know for… Research.
I've been reading Overlord, and it blew away my expectations after book 6.It's amazing, so much so that I'd suggest for Overlord fans to do the same.
Does anyone else feel like Overlord's world building is poor because they drop tons of exposition?
It'd be cool if Percy Jackson and the Olympians had an anime adaptation. It'd probably be better than thr movies lol
God, that Percy Jackson cameo came out of nowhere, but I love it.
But thank you for the informative video. I currently have a project that needs a little world building, and this helped immensely!
What's the name of the anime on 0:16?
While I do enjoy the world building in Darling in the Franxx, should have at least mention One Piece world building since it is a funimation show also.
How much i gotta pay you to rank Yowamushi Pedal openings? Cuz if there is one place yowamushi pedal shines is in its ops
Araki is doing it live, fuck it!
Someone mind helping me out with the anime at 13:39? Looks pretty cool 😮
Oh dear god I had this discussion recently. I was making a comparison to overlord and rwby and how one is an example of good story telling and while another is a trash fire who's suspension of disbelief is just bewildering stupidity.
But nop apparently overlord is a shit story while rwby can do no wrong.
Does anybody know anime at 1:21
and the light novel manages to have 3x as much world building. (for overlord)
You've been wrong about so much already I'm not even gonna finish this video. Both of these shows are terrible examples of world building, Overlord especially ever since season 2 began. Dislike.
I have a small theory, I think that SAO is somewhat connected to the game in Overlord, Yggdrasil, because in SAO when kirito gets that seed thing, a lot of new MMOs are made and in SAO his friend says briefly at one point that they’re gonna meet in a game called Yggdrasil so I think that the game in Overlord was created by Kiritos seed thing
All darling in the FranXX Is, is world building and weird innuendos which I May or may not enjoy.
