This type of anime has been around for a long time. It started with classic shows like “Visions of Escaflowne” and “Inuyasha.” Isekai anime has become more popular in recent years. If you look at the most popular anime of the last 10 years, you’ll see that a lot of them fall under the isekai umbrella. They include “That Time I Got Reincarnated into a Slime” to “Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World.”
In a nutshell, isekai is a storey in which a character from one universe, which is usually like our own, is sent to another, which is usually very different from our own. People in Japan write the word “,” which means “strange or different.” The first character is, and the last two are, which means “world.” Isekai anime series like “Overlord,” which came out in 2015, has become more and more popular over the last decade.
It came to an end in 2018. Its third season was the last one to air. The fourth season of “Overlord” is still possible, even though it has been years since the last one. “Overlord” Season 4 is coming soon. This is what we know about it so far.
When will Overlord Season 4 come out?
Overlord’s studio, Madhouse, hasn’t announced that there will be a fourth season of the show yet. As for when Season 4 might be coming out, there are some reasons to think it will happen. Perhaps the first sign that “Overlord” might be coming back for a fourth season came at an anime convention in Germany in 2019. This is what Yukie Sugawara said about the fourth season of the show at the event. She said it was “extremely likely” (in so many words, given that her statement was in Japanese and translated into German for the attendant audience).
A Reddit user who has told this storey also said that after that statement spread around the Internet, many people thought it meant that there was going to be a new season before they backtracked. A Reddit post that linked directly to Sugawara’s statement, for example, has since been removed. However, even though it’s not official, Sugawara has said that he at least hopes there will be a fourth season of “Overlord” at some point in the near future. In addition, the light novel series on which “Overlord” is based is still very popular in Japan.
If you look at light novel sales from January to June of 2020, Volume 14 came in third. It came in behind novelizations of the hugely popular “Demon Slayer” TV show. Given that “Overlord” is so popular in light novel format, it follows that a new season of the anime could still be a big hit. However, given the recent lack of news, Season 4 isn’t likely to come out until at least 2022 at the earliest.
In Season 4, what will happen?
This is what happens in the first episode of “Overlord.” A boy named Momonga is taken into the world of a video game called “MMORPG” (think “RuneScape”). He is called Ainz Ooal Gown, and instead of just controlling his character, Momonga is Ainz. Momonga, on the other hand, was a good gamer, and Ainz is a powerful character in the game world of YGGDRASIL, where the game is set. He then starts to look around YGGDRASIL’s world for the first time as a magical necromancer, not as a person playing a video game.
By the end of Season 3, Ainz has agreed to rule his own kingdom called the Sorcerer Kingdom. At some point, Ainz’s trials and tribulations as the ruler of his own kingdom start to take centre stage in the “Overlord” light novels. This is why volume 10 of the light novel series should be used as the source material for the start of Season 4. Volume 10 also shows the rulers of rival countries with who Ainz now has to fight or make peace, because he’s been taking part in fantasy politics.
