What's the point of this shit? If it's just a recap of the TV series?
MadHouse was really fucking too lazy this year.

it worked because it sold well

people dont know anything about adpations anyways. just because it wasn't a shitty 1:1 adaption doesnt mean it was bad.

>recap

Atleast this means a sequel is 99% guaranteed and the movie BD will come with a extra novel.

Too make easy money, keep the fan base active and have more fans watch it, some people will only watch the recap and not the anime.

Recap movies are completely pointless, and this one will be no exception. Just do a second season or a movie that actually adapts new stuff instead rather than cramming it all into one movie and making a rushed mess of a movie.

It'd be nice if they included the details they left out from the LN and erase some imperfections from here and there.

I'm a little happy that Overlord's getting a movie despite it being a recap. I guess it saves time since I'm having the urge to rewatch almost every anime I love including this. Seeing Albedo again is a plus, too~

The point is, most adaptations, good or bad, suffer from time limitations of current shitty 13/24 format and trying to squeeze a whole season into a movie format just make it worse.

I am so happy to hear that more is coming out, and with the dub coming maybe there will actually be merchendise that I can get my hands on. I want to give this series money but it is quite difficult so far.

Recap movie ? Three more canon episodes would be cheaper and better Madhouse.

Well...my hopes got WAY up and then kinda fell once I read it was only a recap movie.

I'm still curious about it, but surprised they'd do a recap movie rather than do a movie about the Lizardmen or something. I feel like the lizardmen part would make an interesting movie, even if Momonga isn't the main focus of it.

Though, if I had to vote on what I'd LOVE to see turned into a movie...has to be Volume 9. ^^

Why would they release a recap movie indeed?

I suspect this is a prelude for season 2. When Season 1 has been aired a substantial amount of time ago, it's quite likely that before they air Season 2 they would do some form of recap.

For example, before Attack on Titan season 2 was announced, they did two recap movies. Before Jojo Stardust was aired, they did a bunch of recap OVA of the previous season aired years ago.

I personally think that this is quite a good sign with a lot of potential developments on the horizon.

They really should wait for a recap movie until they are just about to start a second season ...
