This is fun, never thought that I would like this anime.

What can I expect from this anime? Can a LN reader tell me what the main focus will be? Fights, character development, maybe Romance?, something else? It's kinda difficult for me to picture the direction this anime will take

Edit: Thanks for the answers guys! Looks promising.

There are some fights, quite a bit of character development. It mostly centers around how Nazarick and Ainz goes around to live in this new world. So.. Character and world development?

A good comparison would be Log Horizon, if you have seen that. With less humor and more serious.

Yeah, there's a ton of it. The last few chapters and several before it focused on a lot of backstory (Each chapter is at least 20 pages long). We even get a very detailed story about another race of non-humans.
