A brief about Overload anime
The Overlord anime series is based on light novels by Kugane Maruyama, initially released online in 2010 before being published by Kadokawa in their Enterbrain imprint with illustrations from so-bin in 2012. The series is licensed for publishing in North America by Yen Press.
A manga adaptation of Overlord by Hugin Miyama and Satoshi Ōshio began publishing in November 2014, while the first season of the anime ran for 13 episodes from July to September 2015. The second season ran for a further 13 episodes from January to April 2018, with the third season coming later that year in July. The fourth season premiered in July 2022.
Yen Press describes Overlord: Holy Kingdom Arc as such: "The Sacred Kingdom has enjoyed a great many years without war thanks to a colossal wall constructed after a historic tragedy. They understand best how fragile peace can be. When the terrible demon Jaldabaoth takes to the field at the head of a united army of monstrous tribes, the Sacred Kingdom's leaders know their defenses are not enough. With the very existence of the country at stake, the pious have no choice but to seek help wherever they can get it, even if it means breaking taboo and parlaying with the undead king of the Nation of Darkness!"
Overlord follows the protagonist, Suzuki Satoru, who becomes an immortal, all-powerful undead wizard in a futuristic world. After the virtual MMORPG YGGDRASIL shuts down due to a lack of players, Satoru awakens in the "New World" as the lich Ainz Ooal Gown. The series explores the protagonist's reaction to his new status, highlighting the themes of reincarnation, immortality, and the consequences of being reincarnated.
In meeting the now-real NPC created by his former guild companions before they abandoned the game, Satoru/Ainz decides he must protect them and act as the "evil overlord" they expect him to be, as a way of keeping the memory of his only friends alive.
Thus, and thanks to his undead status, Ainz's actions are totally devoid of morality, his only objective being the prosperity of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, making from some pretty dark moments in the series.
The anime has four seasons, which have adapted volumes 1-11 of the light novel series. Volume 12, The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom, will be the subject of the upcoming movie.
