Popular enough to warrant a Season 2?
Is it too early to tell?
Well just use this topic to tell the sales in the future.

The novels have gotten tons of sales from the anime so it's definitely a success in that sense

However that doesn't actually mean a second season will come out. The anime has already done its job

If the anime itself makes a good profit,why wouldn't they make more?
And don't use ngnl and mahouka as examples:(

Because it's confirmed 1 character isn't gonna be included...and that character is also important.

Hope not. As a fan of Madhouse, to me this show is not the type of work that suits them. This series in general is lackluster and they can work better on other shows. One Punch Man should be their baby at this point. Many other deserving shows don't get a s2, if this gets s2 it just won't be very fair. But sales and profit speaks, so who am I to say.

btw Arcanix your signature gives me a headache. Trying to write a message while this thing animates is a pain.

Even if the sales are good, a second season is never guaranteed with Madhouse.....

Anime is mostly made to boost the sales of the source.

i love the series because it makes fun of OP characters. to compassionate for an OP character they have to have larger goals for the character. another example of this is superman.

Is there like a official or unofficial TV ranking/viewercount/nielsen for anime shows now airing in Japan? I would kind of like to see where Overlord stands compared to everything else as far as viewers go anyways... I wonder if its even in the top 20.

This isn't a very good adaptation though. Possibly the first time Madhouse have disappointed me since Death Note.

Overlord novel is recieving another reprint, which takes it's total print number to 2 million.

It's doing good.
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).
