What's the point of this shit? If it's just a recap of the TV series?
MadHouse was really fucking too lazy this year.
Why would they release a recap movie indeed?
I suspect this is a prelude for season 2. When Season 1 has been aired a substantial amount of time ago, it's quite likely that before they air Season 2 they would do some form of recap.
For example, before Attack on Titan season 2 was announced, they did two recap movies. Before Jojo Stardust was aired, they did a bunch of recap OVA of the previous season aired years ago.
I personally think that this is quite a good sign with a lot of potential developments on the horizon.

I'm still curious about it, but surprised they'd do a recap movie rather than do a movie about the Lizardmen or something. I feel like the lizardmen part would make an interesting movie, even if Momonga isn't the main focus of it.
Though, if I had to vote on what I'd LOVE to see turned into a movie...has to be Volume 9. ^^

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.
people dont know anything about adpations anyways. just because it wasn't a shitty 1:1 adaption doesnt mean it was bad.

I'm a little happy that Overlord's getting a movie despite it being a recap. I guess it saves time since I'm having the urge to rewatch almost every anime I love including this. Seeing Albedo again is a plus, too~

Atleast this means a sequel is 99% guaranteed and the movie BD will come with a extra novel.
What's the point of this shit? If it's just a recap of the TV series?
Too make easy money, keep the fan base active and have more fans watch it, some people will only watch the recap and not the anime.
