Overlord

Overlord is a Japanese computer generated animated series, which has been on air on all major Japanese channels, national and prefectural, since July 2015. Despite its popularity in Asia, Overlord did not attract great interest in Europe and American, and the series was broadcast only on two online streaming services - French network J-One and Anime Digital Network.

The problem of youth addicted to the Internet and video games is worrying nowadays, and it explains the popularity of anime series devoted to the issue. One of them is Overlord, where the storyline follows the major character, Momonga, being transferred from grim and dull real life into the engaging world of a computer game. For a long time, Momonga had been spending days on the online game of Yggdrasil with his fellow gamers. He managed to found an evil guild, but one day he had to bid his farewell to the world of the game, because the developers were determined to turn the game off. The servers were closed, but Momonga had not logget out on time, and thus he stayed in Yggdrasil in the form of a framework of the mightiest wizard with a host of vassals in his castle, who are NPCs – the non-player personages of the game. So, Momonga faced the difficulties trying to build a new universe in the virtual room, with the support of only the non-real characters.

Overlord has not received huge popularity, but if the creative team finds a way to improve the graphics and the plot, we can hear about the series renewal.
