As Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment prepare to unleash an epic fantasy battle on the big screen, a new clip for Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom is on the march! The new anime feature film arrives in U.S. & Canadian theaters today (Friday, November 8).
Synopsis: After 12 years of playing his favorite MMORPG game, Momonga logs in for the last time only to find himself transported into its world playing it indefinitely. Throughout his adventures, his avatar ascends to the title of Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.
Once prosperous but now on the brink of ruin, The Sacred Kingdom enjoyed years of peace after construction of an enormous wall protecting them from neighboring invasions. But, one day this comes to an end when the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth arrives with an army of villainous demi-humans.
Fearing invasion of their own lands, the neighboring territory of the Slane Theocracy is forced to beg their enemies at the Sorcerer Kingdom for help. Heeding the call, Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown, rallies the Sorcerer Kingdom and its undead army to join the fight alongside the Sacred Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy in hopes to defeat the Demon Emperor.
The feature film is produced by Madhouse and directed by series director Naoyuki Ito (Pretty Cure, Digimon Data Squad, Kanon).
Originally a web novel by Kugane Maruyama that was adapted into light novels and manga publications, the first season of the Overlord anime series debuted in 2017 and quickly became popular among fans. Currently, all four seasons are now streaming on Crunchyroll along with Overlord: The Undead King and Overlord: The Dark Hero, two omnibus films that serve as recaps for Season 1.
