It will be a recap movie, using old footage, with probably 0 new content, however it might retcon(retroactive continuity) the few changes to the LN that were present in the anime adaptation. (SPECULATION) It will also probably serve as a precursor to finding interest in a Season 2, Madhouse or not, money talks.

I don't think it'll do much better than the first season though, since it's just a recap movie. I thought 10k disc sale was way above the threshold, thought that's gonna be the indication. In my opinion, it's a bad idea to base reception on a recap movie, money don't fall from tree after all.

One can hope, for now all we know is it is coming during winter, and that it will be a recap. I just hope a season 2 will come, hopefully after OPM season 2 is over.

Like someone else already said, it's a way to see if theres interest for a second season. If the movie sells well, we'll probably see a second season in the next couple of years.

That doesn't work that way. Production committees are completely different. Main sponsor of Overlord is Kadokawa, it's LN publisher while for OPM it's Bandai. Madhouse has scraps from revenues for both titles.

I'm watching it because I want a season 2. Btw, does any one know if watching this on Crunchyroll or something will help this anime in some way or does it only matter if you purchase merchandises and the DVD's?

although the recap itself seems like just another cut paste from the original series it might be the teaser and hype material for a second season. could also be just trying to suck even more money with the least amount of effort, but let's hope for the first

I hope they dont recycle old footage but actually put an effort into the animation. It was not really bad, but compared to OPM ..

Separate story would have a potential to be pretty decent (especially if NOT written by Maruyama Kugane), but a recap? Why would anyone make a recap of this crap?

The only way you would help the anime is by spending money on it (seeing it in theaters, buying the BD disc, etc). Buying the source material (novels) and other merch might help too.

For the love of god, it's a recap! Automatically half the fans won't watch it, why will they based on this to do a second season... stupid production committee. At least had something new for fuck sake.

Really hope they add at least a bit of new content. Would also be nice if they fixed up the last quarter cause it wasn't done very well in the anime originally.

Man, when I saw a movie was announced I was so happy, since the anime ended I've read a lot of the light novels and they were so much fun. Why would they make a recap now of all times?!

Still gonna watch it tho...

I REALLY hope this means there's still interest for another season. Although buying the LN and merch would probably go a longer ways than supporting this movie.

S2 always come after Recap Movies I saw that many times with different shows. The series did quite good in terms of sales. I do believe Madhouse will do S2 but not any time soon. The director is working on another project (original movie by Madhouse) maybe S2 will be at the end of 2017 perhaps October
