Plot[]

See also: List of Overlord (novel series) characters

In the year 2126, a Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or DMMORPG called YGGDRASIL was released, standing out among all other DMMORPGs due to its unusually high ability for the player to interact with the game. After an intense twelve-year run, the game servers are about to be shut down. Within the game exists a guild, Ainz Ooal Gown, once consisting of 41 members and credited as one of the strongest guilds in the game. Now only four of the members remain, the other 37 having quit the game, and only one, a skeletal "Overlord" character named Momonga, continues to play as the guild leader, maintaining their headquarters in The Great Tomb of Nazarick. In the minutes before the shutdown he invites the remaining guild members, but of those only one appears and only for a short while before leaving. While saddened by this, he accepts the reality that his friends have their other lives to take care of and decides to stay logged in until the servers shut down.

When the shut-down time arrives, Momonga finds that the game hasn't vanished; instead, it appears as if Nazarick has been transported to another reality altogether along with its various NPCs gaining sentience. Momonga has been trapped in the form of his game avatar, leaving him unable to use the normal player functions such as General Message, or even to log out. With no other option, Momonga sets out to learn if anyone from the real world is also in this new world with him. Taking on the name of the guild, Ainz Ooal Gown, as a message to any other remaining players, Momonga begins exploring the world in an attempt to figure out what has happened while searching for anyone or anything that could help him solve this mystery, while ensuring the safety of Nazarick. Ainz Ooal Gown seems to have modifications made to his behavior by in-game mechanics, because he demonstrates no moral qualms with killing and other actions that are taboo in the real world. This is a story about the psychology of a creature beyond ethical concerns with near-limitless power.

A 13-episode anime television series adaptation by Madhouse aired between July 7 and September 29, 2015.[64] The opening theme is "Clattanoia" by OxT, and the ending theme is "L.L.L." by Myth & Roid. Both are bands of the musician Tom-H@ck. The anime adaptation covers light novel volumes 1 to 3. A 30-minute original video animation was bundled with the eleventh limited edition volume of the light novel series, which was released on September 30, 2016.[65] Two compilation films acting as a recap to the anime television series were released in 2017;[66] the first compilation film, titled Overlord: The Undead King (オーバーロード 不死者の王, Ōbārōdo: Fushisha no Ō), was released on February 25, 2017,[67] while the second compilation film, titled Overlord: The Dark Warrior (オーバーロード 漆黒の戦士, Ōbārōdo: Shikkoku no Senshi), was released on March 11, 2017. The films' theme song, titled "Crazy Scary Holy Fantasy", was performed by Myth & Roid.[68][69]

A second season was announced at film screenings of the second compilation film.[70] It premiered on January 9, 2018.[71][72] It ran for a total of 13 episodes. Outside of Asia, Funimation has licensed the second season for a simuldub.[73] In South and Southeast Asia, Medialink holds the rights to the series.[74] The opening theme is "Go Cry Go" by OxT and the ending theme is "Hydra" by Myth & Roid.[75] The second season of the anime adaptation covers light novel volumes 4 to 6.

A third season premiered on July 10, 2018.[76][77][78] The opening theme is "VORACITY" by Myth & Roid, and the ending theme song is "Silent Solitude" by OxT.[79][76] With 13 episodes as with the previous seasons, the third season of the anime adaptation covered light novel volumes 7 to 9.

On May 8, 2021, a fourth season and an anime film were announced, with the film covering the Holy Kingdom Arc of the series. The staff and cast members are returning to reprise their roles for the fourth season.[80]

A comedy crossover anime, Isekai Quartet featured characters from Overlord in a Chibi style, much like the OVA. It also featured characters from the light novel series KonoSuba, Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil, all published by Kadokawa Corporation. The anime began airing on April 9, 2019.

Game[]

A mobile game Mass for the Dead was launched in late 2019 in Japan, with a global (English) version launched in early 2020.[81] It received poor reviews, with reviewers noting it was rather simple and did not offer anything new compared to many other similar gacha games.[82][83] The global version has been shut down as of March 31, 2021.[84][85]

Reception[]

In June 2015, prior to the release of the anime and manga, the light novel series had about 600,000 copies in print in Japan with eight volumes. By August 1, 2015, the light novel and manga series had a total of 1 million copies in circulation in Japan. On August 4, a 600,000-copy reprint of the novels was announced. As of August 20, 2015, the nine-volume Overlord light novel series and two-volume manga series have, together, more than 1.5 million copies in circulation in Japan.[86] As of September 18, 2015, Overlord light novel and manga has over 2 million copies in circulation.[87] As of May 2016, the Overlord light novel series had 2.5 million copies in print.[88] Overlord has since been named the top-selling light novel series of 2015.[89] As of April 2018, the light novel and manga combined had over 7 million copies in print.[90]

The light novel ranked first in 2017 in Takarajimasha's annual light novel guide book Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!, in the tankōbon category.[91] It ranked fourth in 2018.[92]

In reviewing the anime adaptation, Kotaku called the Overlord anime a "magnificent power fantasy" which "brings up a very relatable theme for anyone who has played an MMORPG before."[93]
