Ome show that’s been gaining some solid fans since its debut is that of Overlord, which FUNimation has been simulcasting. The series has a familiar but fun concept and with the mini chibi episodes being streamed out of Japan separately it’s certainly added some cuteness to it. FUNimation’s now streaming the opening sequence, sans subtitles due to music rights issues unfortunately, which brings us the song Clattenoia from OxT. Check it out below and skim through our reviews and other promos for the show as well.
Overlord comes from author Kugane Maruyama with illustrations by so-bin that’s published by Enterbrain. It began in the summer of 2012 and released its eighth volume earlier this year. The series has had two drama CDs released with previous volumes.
It’s being animated by Madhouse with Naoyuki Itou directing it based on scripts by Yukie Sugawara and character designs by Takahiro Yoshimatsu as they adapt from the original works. The series will star Kenta Miyake as Cocytus, Manami Numakura as Narberal Gamma, Masayuki Katou as Demiurge, Shigeru Chiba as Sebas Tian and yumi Uchiyama as Mare Bello Fiore.
Plot concept: The series follows a salary man who remains online when the service for an MMORPG ends. In doing so, he becomes a powerful skeletal wizard. In his new form, he begins attracting followers and conquering the digital world that remains.
