Overlord Movie 1: Fushisha no Ou

This Movie is a summary of the first half of the anime Overlord.

There’s basically nothing more to say, if you've watched the anime watching the movie will probably disappoint some of you, since it doesn’t add more to the plot of the story which we have been dying to know more off.

However, in a sense the movie helps hyped up the story for the upcoming Second season. It also help us remind of what happened in the story, so when the second season hits we would felt like theres no gap from season 1 to season 2.

Overall the movie was bog standard. I enjoy the ... anime, and seeing the recap movie helps me remember the fun times I had watching the anime in the first place. It’s fun imagining ourselves as the Overlord, which could take over the world easily.
I recommend you watch the anime, however if you’re waiting for the second season like I do. You could consider watching the movie it summed up the first-half well and with more time on our hands. But if you have more time in your hands, i recommend just rewatching the anime for the full ride.

As many others said this is a recap movie, however, i would like to add a lot of people who said there wasnt much new scenes is greatly mistaken. Sure it didnt make a huge impact but there are quite a few extra scenes that wasnt in the anime.

** Spoiler Alert **

In the beginning there was the dive scene.
Momonga chatting with Sebas was modified a bit.
Lots of pan out scenery shots of the cities and Nazarick.
The slane theocracy mission.
And a few more.

... ** End Spoiler **

Again it doesnt make a huge impact if you did watch the anime but it does add a little bit extra details here and there, which i enjoyed watching (despite watching the anime a few times and having it rather fresh in my memory).

The first Overlord movie, "Fushisha no Ou", serves as a recap of the first half of the story. The movie covers the main plot points and key events that took place in the anime, providing a condensed version of the story for those who may have missed a few episodes. With the use of high-quality animation and a well-structured storyline, "Fushisha no Ou" provides a great refresher for fans of the series and a comprehensive introduction for new viewers.

However, not everyone may be a fan of this type of recapping, as some viewers might find it to be repetitive or too similar to the original ... anime. Despite this, "Fushisha no Ou" still stands as a great way for fans to re-live some of their favorite moments from the first half of the story and for newcomers to get a taste of the world of Overlord.
