  This Movie is a summary of the first half of the anime Overlord. There’s basically nothing more to say, if you've watched the anime watching the movie will probably disappoint some of you, since it doesn’t add more to the plot of the story which we have been dying to know more off. However, in a sense the movie helps hyped up the story for the upcoming Second season. It also help us remind of what happened in the story, so when the second season hits we would felt like theres no gap from season 1 to season 2. Overall the movie was bog standard. I enjoy theanime, and seeing the recap movie helps me remember the fun times I had watching the anime in the first place. It’s fun imagining ourselves as the Overlord, which could take over the world easily. nI recommend you watch the anime, however if you’re waiting for the second season like I do. You could consider watching the movie it summed up the first-half well and with more time on our hands. But if you have more time in your hands, i recommend just rewatching the anime for the full ride.

  As Overlord season 2 draws closer and closer, I decided to watch the first recap movie to refresh my memory of the events from the first season and see some improvements over the TV anime that I very much enjoyed... I don't know about anyone else, but that's the main reason I personally watch recap movies in the first place. I have to say, however, that even as a fan of the original series, I was quite disappointed. So here I am writing a review for anyone who might be about to dive into the movie with any sort of heightened expectations. The recap is basically justwhat it says it is, a recap. It adds NOTHING to the TV anime, like new scenes or dialogue (apart from the 30-second scene in the beginning), and improves NOTHING even though Madhouse should have had enough time to up the quality even by a bit. The animation is the same, the CG fights are the same etc. You could watch the TV show and it wouldn't make much difference apart from giving you the full story.nnThe only thing saving this movie is the fact that it's Overlord, Momonga is cool, Albedo is sexy and funny, and all the characters are basically a joy to watch. The music hasn't changed and it is passable.nnSo yeah, if you're going into this movie expecting something different or better from the TV anime, then don't. It's just the same thing, minus a couple scenes stuck together and thrown in the theater for money money money. 5/10.

  As someone who has watched all of the Overlord series to date, I enjoyed this as a quick condensed form of re-watching season 1. It doesn't add much, a few more animated scenes and an extra line or two, perhaps. Don't watch it expecting any new content, it cuts through a lot of the fluff of season 1. Only the pivotal exposition scenes have remained, and most of the action. As for whether an unfamiliar audience would enjoy the film, I think it leaves out too much of the initial story building of Nazarick and the E-Rantel region to properly introduce viewers to the series.I would still greatly recommend watching the first season instead of this if you're looking to get into the series, since this gives you the bare minimum in explanations and feels rushed, but the film is still decent in its own right.
