Koby Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 The official website for the television anime adaptation of Kugane Maruyama's Overlord novel series began streaming a teaser promotional video for the series' second season on Saturday. The video debuted at a screening event for the anime's films on Friday. The series will premiere in January 2018. Naoyuki Itou is returning as director, along with Yukie Sugawara on series composition. Satoshi Tasaki (Rideback, Fairy Musketeers, No Game, No Life Zero) is joining previous character designer Takahiro Yoshimatsu on character designs. Madhouse returns to animate series. The first 13-episode Overlord television anime series premiered in Japan in July 2015. Funimation streamed the anime series as it aired in Japan, and the company released the series with an English dub on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in November 2016. The first compilation film, Overlord: Fushisha no Ō, opened in Japan on February 25. The second film, Overlord: Shikkoku no Senshi, opened on March 11. The films added new scenes, and original character designer (and original novel illustrator) so-bin drew rough drafts for new characters. The 11th novel volume also bundled a Blu-ray Disc in September 2016. The novels and anime's story takes place in the year 2138 when virtual reality gaming is booming. Yggdrasil, a popular online game, is quietly shut down one day. However, the protagonist Momonga decides to not log out. Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as "the most powerful wizard." The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become. Maruyama began the original light novel series online in 2010, and Kadokawa's Enterbrain imprint then published it in print with illustrations by so-bin in 2012. The series has over 2.5 million copies in print in Japan. Yen Press is releasing the novel series in North America. The company is also releasing Hugin Miyama and Satoshi Ōshio's manga adaptation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyrous Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 It was Funimation who dubbed S1? Interesting. All this time I thought it was Sentai for whatever reason. Hoping S2 gets a simuldub then. That’d be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope S2 gets Simuldubbed, but if it doesn't, I'll watch it subbed rather than wait a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvitationToHades Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Also hoping for a simuldub but if not I have no problems watching it subbed as well. I absolutely cannot wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsolar Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I guess they'll adapt The Lizard Man Heroes and The Men in the Kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
