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.
This was my feeling as well. I was blown away by how far ahead things in the OP happen. I didn't think we were going to get that far through the story. So, either a lot of stuff is cut, or they rearranged the story quite a bit like they did the first season. Time will tell. Glad I wasn't the only one that was taken aback by the visuals of the OP.
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
