Overlord Movie 2: Shikkoku no Eiyuu

At the time of writing this there are no reviews, and if you are reading this then you are probably wondering what reason, if any, is there to watch this if you have already seen the show. The honest answer is not a whole lot.

If you haven't seen the first television season then this will be a good recap to prep you for the second season. If you have seen the first season then know this movie covers roughly episodes 8 through 13. Keep in mind there are a few extended scenes.

Peppered throughout the film are several moments of extended dialogue, battles, and a few ... changes that include the appearance, albeit brief, of an as yet undefined character.

So put it like this; if you have an hour and a half, think you'd enjoy a re-watch of the second half of the first season that focuses on the highlights, and wouldn't mind seeing a little extra, then this movie is for you.

If you haven't seen the first season, but have seen the first movie and liked it, then what are you waiting for? You're gonna love this! ;)

The Overlord movies, "Fushisha no Ou" and "Shikkoku no Eiyuu," are the first two recap films in the Overlord franchise. These movies aim to condense and summarize the events of the original anime series into two, more easily digestible packages. "Fushisha no Ou" covers the first half of the story, while "Shikkoku no Eiyuu" covers the second half.

While recap movies can be a great way for fans to revisit their favorite stories, they also have the potential to be unsatisfying for those who have already watched the original series. This is because the recapping format often requires a significant amount of content to be left ... out or condensed. However, for those who are new to the Overlord franchise, these movies provide an excellent way to get a quick overview of the story without having to invest the time required to watch the entire series. Additionally, the release of the Overlord movies on Blu-ray and DVD provides fans with a high-quality and convenient way to watch these recap films.
