also for a necromancer his spell types seem all over the place and not really restricted to necromancy magic. minor gripes some of the rpg mechanics aren't consistent, in one episode the overlord has to equip a cham to grant himself the power of flight in another he simply calls out a spell name. The main character is so overpowered as a max level rpg player gone full "no lifer" he owns every rare epic legendary godlike item that has ever existed in the game, nothing is a challenge, he is pretty much the Sherlock Holmes of rpgs, he can understand explain and counter any setup just without any of his flaws. As brief as it is, the show is still a fantastic saga that deserves a lot of love and makes for a great watch. Thankfully, the story is carried on in the manga that runs in parallel to the show, so if you want more you should check out that comic. This is an incredible story that deserves more than 13 episodes, and its being cut off so early makes the whole fantasy tragically disappointing. The show, however, is far too brief to tell its story adequately, and so is confined to introducing its characters and the world and only a brief space to show them off, and then ends on a cliffhanger. The animation and music is also above average and complements the story well. Beyond the Overlord himself, the rest of the cast are not as developed, but they get enough time and character to stand out Yumi Hara in particular makes a lasting impression as a passionate demon who gets emotionally carried away frequently. It's a fascinating character and Hino does him great credit with his voice. Ainz serves as the anti-heroic character who strives to conquer the world for his own desire, and Momonga is the simple player who only wishes to locate other gamesters like himself in the new world. ![]() Satoshi Hino gives a terrific dual performance as the mage demon master Ainz Ooal Gown and as the human player Momonga providing a monologue and narrative. The whole show is carried on the shoulders of the title character, the Overlord. But when your VR persona is that of the most powerful demon sorcerer ever, that's when things get interesting. When you are trapped in a virtual reality game, the natural thing to do is to find a way out. Watching Lord Ains defeat even the most powerful enemies thrown at him with ease was pretty cool, and they didn't shy away from the violence either. At first I wasn't into this show, but after a few episodes I was hooked. He then decides to conceal his true form (a skeleton-type dude) and go on the lookout for his previous friends (who were all Supreme Beings) by becoming a low-level adventurer who wants to spread his name (now changed to Ains Ool Gown?) by defeating as many powerful enemies as possible. Of course, being god-like, he doesn't really need them, since he's nearly invincible anyway. Since his character was a Supreme Being (practically a God), things aren't so bad for him, as he has a handful of powerful guardians to protect him. Instead of logging out, he decides to stay and then realises he's trapped in this online fantasy world. Momonga is playing Yggdrasil (an online RPG I assume) and the game is shut down. Although I have seen plenty of shows where someone gets trapped inside a game, TV show or movie, so it was still enjoyable. Overlord Season 4 and movie announcement will surely make a lot of the fans of the franchise very happy.I don't have much experience with role playing games, so a lot of the references to moves, energy, strength, skill, etc. Voice actors who star in the anime – Satoshi Hino (Momonga), Yumi Hara (Albedo), and Sumire Uesaka (Shalltear Bloodfallen), were special guests. ![]() The special program aired at 8 PM JST on May 8th, 2021. As NPCs begin to develop personalities and minds of their own he decides to put his skills to use as the game’s new overlord. Crunchyroll synopsis for the series is the following: When a popular MMORPG is scheduled to be shut down permanently, veteran player Momonga refuses to log out. MADHOUSE animated all three seasons, and recap movies that followed. The first season came out in 2015, with seasons 2 and 3 coming out in 2018. It has since gathered a massive fan following and is currently one of the best-selling light novels in Japan. Overlord is based on the light novel by Kugane Maruyama and has been publishing since 2012. More details will come at a later date, but it seems like the old cast is returning. ![]() The release date is still unknown, but MADHOUSE is once again animating the series.
