I do not think "why so hard" means what you think it means...

Anywho, yes, I've read the manga that's fan translated, seen all the episodes that have been released. I've of course read Skythewood's translation fan traslation of the books. While perfectly greatful of his/her translation and the speed it comes out, I am rewritting it (correcting grammer, names and comparing everything to the original Japanese RAW's to fix inconsistancies) as I'd like a better looking version of it before I show the series to my friends (I'm a bit of a perfectionist.... wastes lots of my time for no reason, I know).

I understand that they change things when adapting them to different sources, like books to anime. There is of course going to be differences as the two mediums convey stories differently. HOWEVER, it is getting a bit sad in the anime for Overlord.

A good example of how I wish they could have done the series is the Chimera Ant Arc in the reboot of Hunter X Hunter. That was amazingly done, from the animation (no CG) to the narration done like a written book. They followed the original manga increadibly well (again, they way they did the narration in that is a prime example of how I believe they should have done something like Overlord, which is heavy on the details and what is going on in the characters heads).

So much of what I feel makes Overlord, well Overlord is kind of lost in the anime adaptation because of the changes.

Again, I'm still enjoying the anime for what it is, but it is too rushed and I wish they could have flushed it out a bit more and taken more time to anime the different amazing scenes.
