| First Mahouka, then NGNL, now Overlord. I guess if they won't bother with second seasons, movies will suffice. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we got an Alderamin movie a couple years from now. I wasn't super fond of the TV series but I'll go ahead and check this out anyway. Looks like @ichii_1 will be overjoyed. |

| Well, better than nothing |
| wow that's nice but i was hoping for a second season. btw, how many projects does Madhouse have? lol, Jesus onii-sama movie, No loli No life movie, Bonerlord movie and the 2nd season of One punch man and other anime series next year by madhouse. Damn can't wait for all of these, thank you Madhouse. |
| I would prefer a second season but well beggar can't be a chooser. |
 |
| ohhh yeeah exciting news, finally madhouse is stepping up looking to continuing their series, in some way at least. Wanted another season for Overlord, but oh well it's something. Looking forward to all the movies they have coming soon. Except for Mahouka, can't care less but I'll probably watch it anyways because of jesus tatsuya |
 |
| now madhouse has been released from curse? edited: i already read this novel up to episode 9 and volume 4 is better in movie format as standalone, since author tell the story in different view. well i guess volume 4 onward will be told with different view, but only volume 4 has completely new cast. |

 |
| Madhouse is on fire lately. First the Mahouka movie, later the NGNL movie, then the second season of OPM and now a movie of Overlord. Good to see they finally learn to count to two this time :P |
 |
| On the one side I'm sad because I'm expected a second season, on the other hand I'm happy because we get more Overlord after the OVA which should be released tomorrow :3 I just really hope they'll make a second season after this. |
| Movies, movies instead of second seasons everywhere... Whyyy??? It's not that I'm not happy with the movie but still why??? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Madhouse moving into movie territory huh. |

The problem is what are the chances of a second season after this movie. I don't know how many volumes are out yet, but you make it sound like the first season used up 3 volumes? So that would mean the earliest they could make another season would be at volume 7? |
| Oh Madhouse. A third movie announced by them this year. I wouldn't count out on a Chihayafuru S3 at this point. |

So that would mean the earliest they could make another season would be at volume 7? well i dont know about S2 chance, i'm not lurking too much to search any of this news, maybe if we wait patiently it will happen? lol yes season 1 adapted vol. 1-3. only volume 4 feels out of place since we will get another MC, but at volume 5 main cast will back to ainz and co. consider this movie adapted volume 4 and not original which is unlikely. if there is any season 2 they can begin at the first of vol 5, and since volume 5 is like direct continuation of vol. 3, we wont feel any missing information. oh and now LN is up to vol 10 and vol 11 out next week, CMIIW. |

Oh well that doesn't sound too bad then. Now if the movie will be a success a second season should be a sure thing then :3 Robiiii said: @gator Be glad u got anything :p Im still shocked that Madhouse releases more story of stuff they already released I am glad that I got any content like I said :P |
| Good. The world needs more Ainz. |
 |
| Madhouse seems to be going on a movie spree lately, interesting |
  |
| Damn, wonder what they'll cover, though I'm nowhere near caught up yet :v I've been on-hold in the middle of vol. 4 since I should try catching up in the meantime |

ClickBaitBuster said: edge13 said: yeah, it's a recap movie, which make the chances of a S2 announcement quite high, since a lot of recap movies are made for that purpose.apparently its just a compilation movie http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-09-29/overlord-anime-has-compilation-film-in-the-works/.107031 What the... really? If that leads to a second season I won't mind, but if not that's just retarded >.< |
edge13 said: apparently its just a compilation movie http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-09-29/overlord-anime-has-compilation-film-in-the-works/.107031  Welp, I'll still watch it anyway. |

| anime movie recaps |
 |
Frostbyte98 said: It's a recap at the end?Anyway recap movie lop, mal really got trolled.  I knew it was too good to be true. |
|
| Absolutely destroyed. Based Madhouse, please do a recap for NGNL and Mahouka too. |
 |
| lol I ended up baiting everyone on the facebook page FEELS BAD MAN |
| I would say there is a strong chance of Season 2, why to a recap movie otherwise? Maybe after they have completed OPM season 2 |
| Could someone explain to me why recap movies of TV shows is even a thing in Japan? Why do people go to theaters, pay money and watch something they've most likely seen already? If I wanted to watch it for the first time I'd just stream online or buy Blu Ray than watch a version with a lot of things cut from it. |

Assuming a second season comes after this, I would assume many people would rather watch a 2 hour recap of the season's highlights to prepare and hype them for season two instead of sitting around for 4 or 5 hours rewatching all 13 episodes. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn recap..... might aswell do an original story then between the seasons cuz recap movie surely wont sell that much although ye for them it aint that much work anyway to do just a recap maybe they can only alter the ending to prepare better for the next season. Anyway gonna keep hopin cuz its better then that opm shizzle |

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we got an Alderamin movie a couple years from now. I wasn't super fond of the TV series but I'll go ahead and check this out anyway. Looks like @ichii_1 will be overjoyed. That's not possible. To make a movie of a novel adaptation, you need a standalone volume. Volume 6 of NGNL is perfect for this, as not only is it stand alone, but it can be easily adapted now even without volume 4 and 5 adapted. the only volume in alderamin that can be made into a movie is volume 8 (and 1, but this one is already adapted obviously). 4 needs to go with 5, and 6 with 7, and 9 with 10. And things have changed a lot since volume 8 so it cannot be made without adapting volume 4-7. So we cannot get an alderamin movie like NGNL without having a second season first (and not the contrary). Well obviously there are other possibilities like a side story (like SAO and others DB titles got, but alderamin isn't the type of work where it could be done easily, although it's not impossible either) or like Overlord, a recap movie but... Anyway, no movie to continue the story any time soon for alderamin. We need a second cour adapting volume 4-7 first. |

| I was excited when i saw there was a movie. Then i read the first line  |
| @Zefyris Thanks for the info, but I was more or less saying that as a joke..... |

| What's the point in making a recap movie for a 12-13 episode series. That amount of episodes can be watched in one sitting. Come on now. |
 |
| More recap please!! I love recap! |
| A fucking recap. Way to get my hopes up. I still will watch it though.. there's hope they make a real sequel movie after this one. |
| If I remember correctly, LN readers were mentioning it was kind of rushed. So now they squeeze it into a movie format? Sure, because it worked so well so many times already... Oh well, at least the series was enjoyable so it's still something to look forward to albeit with no expectations. |
