The Overlord III season brought out a premiere date and key visual recently as it went about confirming a July 10th, 2018 premiere for the new season. As we’re not that far away, Kadokawa has brought out a new promo just for this season that clocks in at a minute and oozes with power – and English subtitles. The show has a strong overseas following and while not common it is something that Kadokawa’s done before to draw in and raise the excitement level.
Crunchyroll and Funimation worked together to stream the second season and the third is expected to unfold in the same way.
