wait, is there a news about the season 4?

I mean i don't mind Overlord getting S4, let's just hope they didn't butcher it like s2 and 3.

And is there enough material to cover though?

Lol the thread is flooded with "do better animation this time Madhouse". When the same people shat on OPM S2 because Madhouse didn't animate it. Such double standards 🙄

for people who are complaining: the source is trustworthy in some ways. The german Publisher KSM organized a panel with the Overlord staff and they said, that a fourth season is in production. So far the official sites for the Overlord-Franchise didn't announce it officially. So an official announcement has yet to be made. Though, communciation mistakes at the panel are possible as well.

Considering how popular this anime is, Madhouse really needs to up their budget on this. Or at the very least put more passion and heart into it.

And pls no more garbage CGI

Well, it was pretty obvious that Madhouse will continue it. After all Overlord fandom isn't very choosy and doesn't need anything fancy, so they can be satiated with a low budget anime built on close-ups of the static face of our skeleton and some cheap CGI.

Not that the source material is any better.
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded.

I mean, im not a huge Overlord fan but I still enjoy the show enough for me to follow it and I really dont mind there being a season 4.
Also it would be sad to just end with such cliffhanger that season 3 gave us

Just to throw in another opinion, i did really enjoy the other seasons, its pretty rare to see an Isekai with proper worldbuilding thats both detailed and well-written, also i really liked that Overlord actully managed to deal really well with the huge cast of characters they had.
However, i understand thats more because of the original LN's, and i do certainly agree, the animation was absolutely vomit-worthy at times, most times, i will most definetly be watching season 4, and i will be desperatly hoping they can step up their game with the animation.

Why should I give a fuck about bad CGI if the plot is enjoyable? I mean, yeah, that's minus 1-3 points off the review score but anything more than that is an overreaction. People shouldn't be dropping animes due to poor animation quality...

If plot is enjoyable but visuals are bad why are you not reading books?


Because anime with voice acting, animation and OST is much more enjoyable than reading texts and much easier to understand the plot. Reading books will get me bored after 5 min, and it won't give me the same feeling as anime.

I don't care about having GREAT animation. As long animation looks is ok/passable, or has few CGI scenes, I'm fine with it.

Gotta buy myself a new pair of glasses 'cause I fully expect mine to shatter when exposed to all that CGI.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just left the main cast in 2D and CGI'd everything else using the cheapest assets possible.

Look as far as I've gotten any update from MAL it's been legit. Google the German publisher's interview with the cast of overload, they said 4th season is in production. That's why it came here. Several other sources confirmed it, it's not a random fake page. The page is now removed so that they can add once it's officially announce with cover art and cast info.

I really really hope that it is not a hoax or a mistake. I don't even care if the season is gonna be bad. But something about a show I'm invested in getting another season, it just puts a smile to my face. Hope to god we get an official announcement soon. I don't see the Japanese as people who would spread bullshit misinformation. They are way too strict and disciplined to start lying in interviews.

Not that i mind, but the timing was a bit late, and as far as i know the author is getting tired of it.


I personally do mind. Overlord is my favorite, and IMO the best, isekai at the moment, and after Madhouse fucking murdered it last season, I don't want to see it happen again.

I hear that a lot, but from what's been discussed on reddit, through various translations, it seems more nuanced than that.


One of the few animes that they actually decided to handle the 3rd season, but ended up butchering it mindlessly. Damn Madhouse.......

But the anime is really boring shit that doesn't deserve so much appreciation of so many people. Because it drags the history so much and the worldbuilding is nonsense and make go to sleep.

Considering that they removed every bit of blood&gore out of Season 3, - and Season 4 would step deep into berserk territory(demiurges holy weapon/club ;> and the concentration camps etc.) I really do not have much hope about it.

Even bad cgi wont do it this time to get a lower age rating... Will they just pixelate half the screen for the normal release until the bluray drops? :>

Just because you think its boring shit that doesnt deserve appreciation doesnt mean you have to watch it, talk shit about it or even go to a forum ABOUT it, just... act mature and ignore it? what do you want me to say here exactly?

Huh? That is very odd. I mean, I love Overlord, it's one of my favorites.. So if this is true I'll be very happy. But the author seemed quite negative about season 2 & 3 in an interview I heard a while back, so I am a bit confused about why this is happening. Isekai Quartet too popular? lol And since there is no official announcement, I'm not going to get all hyped yet, could might as well be one of the staff misinterpreting things.

The Overlord light novel is fucking amazing, I just don't hope they're going to make another poorly made season like S3..


I'm asking this since you seem to have read the LN: where should I start with the LN?
I have watched all three seasons and liked them a lot so I was wondering, since I'm a rather slow reader where I could start (after the anime).

Honestly, the anime skips so much important information, worldbuilding and internal thoughts that I would just read it all from the start. But if you want to miss out on all that I believe the anime leaves off near the end of volume 9

Well, I'll be happy to skip some information if it allows me not to have to read 9 whole books. As I said, I'm a slow reader.
