Overlord is late stage storytelling. The author is calling in hooks and writing the actual ending… Which is always a difficult task.
Most stories / shows get dramatically less interesting as hooks and plot points diminish. But it’s how you reach an ending. It’s rare for endings to feel satisfying in any media especially if it’s taken years or decades+ to build up.
Frieren is still early. I’m not personally very impressed by its lore yet.

Green Squadron (stealth / intelligence experts at finding monsters) failing to recognize a monster?
Remember that Suzukiri / Yellow Jr. Rank1 instantly recognized Fighter D in Ep. 1. And she’s of the “tech” squadron. Its clear that those in the Jr. Rank 1 slots are absurdly intelligent and competent (except for Red Jr. Rank1, lol). Then again, Suzukiri is fighting well above her weight class, something crazy is going on with her…
Occam’s Razor is that Green Squadron recognized that Fighter D is actually reasonably competent at stealth / subterfuge and decided that Green Squadron was the best place for him.
I saw it in theaters. It feels… mean. I know we’re well into the “evil” arc of Overlord so its well into “evil Overlord conquers the world” kinda thing.
There is still a lot of good Overlord humor and laughs though. So the occasional “comic relief” to the rather heavy tragedies that Ains is now inflicting upon this country. But as the acts get “more evil”, its harder to laugh at the comedy IMO.
Ultimately, it feels like a sidequest. I can see why this was cut out of the season and into its own movie. It feels like an OVA. Yes, they finally “called in” that Jaldabaoth card that’s been sitting around since S2. So its good to see how that particular story is finally completed and how Ains (or really Demiurge) decides to use that card. But its a new country not covered before and doesn’t seem like anything they were building towards in the great scheme of things.
Hatsune Miku is closer to a musical instrument in that many different musicians use her voice in many different kinds of songs.
Saying you are a fan of Miku (on a musical level) is roughly like saying you’re a fan of Trumpets.
I personally am into songs like Karakuri Pierrot. https://youtu.be/DDjcqu9uvUE
Great answer!!
After thinking about all this for a while, I’ve gone with the basic binary tree (leaning towards AVL tree as I expect my use case to be read heavy).
In my use case, multiple ‘intervals’ can merge together without major penalty (and should be merged together). It looks like a lot of these interval trees (including ph trees) are best when the intervals need to be kept separate.
There is a part of my algorithm where ph trees might be useful though. I’ll have to give it some though.
I’m kind of shocked that a basic binary tree ended up being so usable. Its a classic for a reason, lol. I guess I saw the intervals and got confused and overcomplicated things…
We have this anime at home already.
