At the end of the screening of second compilation movie, Overlord: Shikkoku no Tenshi (Overlord: The Dark Warrior), it was announced that Overlord will receive a second season. The screening also revealed an announcement video revealing the second season.

Overlord is written by Kugane Maruyama with illustrations by so-bin, and was initially serialized as a web novel in September 2010. Kadokawa began publishing the series under the Enterbrain label in July 2012. A manga adaptation drawn by Fugin Miyama has been serialized in the Comp Ace magazine since November 2014. The series previously received a 13-episode TV anime adaptation in Summer 2015 and two compilation movie in February and March of 2017 by studio Madhouse. In addition, the franchise also received an OVA along with 8-special episodes that were bundled with the Blu-ray and DVD volumes between September 2015 and February 2016. FUNimation licensed the anime season for North American distribution and released the series in a single Blu-ray and DVD volume in November 2016.

'Madhouse don't do season 2.' LOL!

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Let the hype ensue. I should really get to reading the books and I'm glad this is getting another season. I really like the premise for what it is.

Ok, what the hell's up with Madhouse ATM?? First the NGNL movie (not a recap movie, so I'll count it :D), then OPM 2, now this. I'm confused. Like... I'm HAPPY, as Overlord was really in need of a Sequel... But I'm confused. Are they desperately trying to get rid of their past?? xD
But for now: 2nd season, hooray!

I mean they announced One Punch Man second season (which I don't like the series) and now this, so they're pretty much breaking their "No S2 streaks" if it is adapted by Madhouse.

Madhouse, comeon bro, one step away. I know you're doing it one step at a time but hurry up and take the next step to announce NGNL S2.

Well you finished S1, so there had to be something likable. Or was it one of those "there's nothing else to watch" things?

There's a slight probability that it might be a different studio, like studio NUT. Could still be Madhouse though, NGNL 0 is supposed to be MADHOUSE

now Madhouse does not do season 2 meme should shut up

Hajime no Ippo has multiple seasons for example and its done by Madhouse

and besides the production committee are just hiring anime studios like Madhouse and the production committee is the one that will decide if there will be a season 2

anime studios like Madhouse are just hired contractors and they do not own the anime unless they are part of the production committee like usually on original anime projects

Is this the real Madhouse? Or is this just a fantasy?
One Punch Man 2nd season, NGNL movie sequel, and now Overlord season 2? Is Madhouse suddenly in dire need of money or something? I just hope having all these big projects at once doesn't lower their production quality.

The signs are all there with the recap movies but it actually got S2. Still waiting if Madhouse will be doing it or not.
Out of the sequels to their S1s (OPM 2, NGNL movie, Mahouka movie), only NGNL movie is currently confirmed to be done by them while Mahouka movie went to 8-bit (OPM 2 is still TBA).

Despite how people keep saying "Madhouse' won't do season 2, I always knew and optimistic Overlord will get sequel. It sell well 12k per average volume.

So when Madhouse finally chooses to do a sequel and break the curse, they chose to give a sequel to this edgy nonsense.....I guess makes sense since SAO is all the hotness right now with the movie and new season announced, gotta cash in on generic isekai money machine again.


Meh. Still waiting for them to continue actually good series like Alderamin.

His comment did not give me the impression that he think it is complete trash. From his comment without even looking at his list, it sounds like he find the series mediocre at best.

On topic.

Didn't really like the first season, it even took me a long ass time to even complete it, it was between average and fine. I heard that what comes after the first season is even better, so I will give the 2nd season a shot.

THERE IS AN ANIME GOD!

Can't wait, Overlord was one of my favorites a couple of seasons ago. Just takes a different role and being a ruthless villain is a great contrast to all those video game hero type shows.

Also more Albedo X Momonga plz!

Everybody is like "please NGNL S2 announcement now Madhouse please!"

My dear people. I beseech you, please remain calm.

Overlord took two recap movies before it got a season 2 announcement. Let's give Madhouse the benefit of the doubt for now, and at least wait until the NGNL movie has screened before passing judgment. If there was ever an opportune time for an announcement, it would be with the movie premiere.

I don't think the series is at least a money making or money grabbing. Compared to SAO I do admit it has a bit more of the characters although the problem with this series is more on the pacing on the finale.

If they wanted to make Alderamin another season it's pretty much the decision of the production company and such stuff, though I'm not sure how Alderamin did well in terms of popularity / sales (I do like it don't get me wrong)

Tbh if a lower budget equals more Overlord, I don't care. Last season's budget was sufficient for me to really enjoy it. Of course, more would be better but if I had to choose between that and a third season, I would rather a third season after next.
