hmm tried episode 1 like a week ago but stopped at the sight of the horrendous CGI in the beginning, but seeing this announcement makes me want to try it again ![]() |
Yatta, confirmation's finally here! Season 2 and 3 were a little down for me but more Albedo is always great to have! I suppose this answers why Madhouse has been relatively quite lately. ![]() #Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni |

Didn't really care much for season 3 so hopefully this season is better. ![]() "MAPPA is saving anime. I have spoken." -Hayao Miyazaki, 2020 (source: dude trust me lol) |
So the announcement is finally here I wonder if the film would adapt the LNs or would just be original content ![]() |
Did not really surprise about this, meant i knew it we get fourth season i'm rather waiting NGNLS2 ![]() Modified by removed-user, May 8, 2021 5:39 AM |
No surprise there, as author was quite vocal, that season four will be a thing. I actually had vague memories of it already being announced, and was convinced it already was. ![]() I do not respond to toxicity, so don't bother. Hibiki Tachibana from Symphogear is THE worst protagonist in all anime. No hyperbole or exaggeration. |
Overlord remains the only LN adaptation from Madhouse that ever got a sequel from them. Meanwhile NGNL... ![]() |
YES! Fianally. One of my favourite anime of the recent years no doubt. ClickBaitBuster said: Overlord remains the only LN adaptation from Madhouse that ever got a sequel from them. Meanwhile NGNL... Overlord is one of the very rare cases where sales are not a steady decline from season to season. The third season sold more than the second, which is really unusual. A fourth season was to be expected in this case. ![]() |
Madhouse is back!! Honestly been a long time since I seen one of their shows! Let's hope that since this 4th season was quite a long wait after S3, that we won't have the bad CGI like the goats we had in S3. Overlord is back baby!! ![]() |
Hhhmm... overlord is a cruel anime, MC kills humans without regret idk how i called it, You better don't watch this anime, but it's up to you. ![]() •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This character cannot cook •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
I am delighted to see Overlord get a fourth season. I was worried it wouldn't get a 4th because of madhouse's inactivity for a couple of seasons. ![]() |
A new season and a movie? Is it one of those recap movies, non-canon or canon movies? ![]() @Gween_Gween request:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Free advertising space, hmu if you want things on here.) |

It's basically isekai fantasy that takes place inside a game that was transported into some alternative reality (kinda like Isekai Maou this season). The protagonist is completely OP, so, as is the case with many other isekai anime, you could say it's similar to One Punch Man, with: 1) The protagonist being there as a sort of deus ex machina and always resolving any situation in the end 2) The story focusing rather on the world and side characters (As the protagonist isn't really that interesting, since it's given he will win every time). Just a really short summary. If you enjoy that kind of stories you can give it a shot. ![]() Modified by JanPri, May 8, 2021 8:23 AM |
The movie being called the Holy Kingdom Arc makes it seem like it'll cover volumes 12-13. That would mean that the fourth season will cover volumes 10-11. Would the TV season and movie really cover the same amount of volumes? Especially since Overlord has always been fitting third volumes in every 13 episode season. And a movie can't cover two volumes worth of content, without making the pacing even worse than it already is (unless we're getting a 3 hour movie, which I highly doubt). I think the fourth season will cover volumes volumes 10-12 and the movie will cover only volume 13. The fourth season will need to end in the middle of an arc and the movie would just be the second-half of said arc, but it will be better for the overall pacing of the series. ![]() |
I'll be honest. I have a serious love-hate relationship with this series. Madhouse has never treated Overlord with the respect it deserves. On the other hand, the world building in the LN is so well-written. I am not hyped, but I'll still be looking forward to this anime sequel. ![]() |
Seeing Ainz back to being serious after his fun time in Isekai Quartet should be a refreshing change. And his story's not yet done either. ![]() |
Is this the reason why Madhouse is quiet lately? To put their effort into making this good? I sure hope so. I don't want to be dissapointed with the quality like in previous seasons. Let's just wait and see. ![]() |

So madhouse reappears just to continue producing more isekai, more specifically that bone bastard, well it's okay for him to reappear and face just to see when "that" other anime premieres and if he will continue to laugh so much. ![]() |
only sorta liked season 1 then it all went downhill from there,if i hear anything remotely interesting about it might check it out but if it's just another season of this dude and his harem of simping servants smashing fodder i'm out ,Slime already got ruined for me going the same route ![]() |
madhouse revives itself to make an anime about skelethor ngl i should atleast finish s1 ![]() |
it's good enough to wait for the foruth season I'm excited too ![]() |
