On December 17, 2021, Kadokawa Animation Channel announced an animated trailer for the fourth season of OVERLORD.
Different forces are looking up and are ready to move. It feels like this work took 2 quarters to describe the worldview of the other world, spent 1 quarter to start the action of the bone king in the other world, and in the fourth season, all kinds of forces are ready to go, and the really wonderful story is still to come.
And the blonde man standing in front of the Bone King is...?
The fourth season of "OVERLORD" will be broadcast in 2022, the specific time is not yet determined, I estimate it may be the second half of the year, and according to the sound prompt of the bone king in the trailer, the "founding chapter" should really unfold in the fourth season... Many people have been a little cold to the bone king of this work, think that the most exciting is the first quarter, after all, the general animation will focus on the network of funds in the beginning of the chapter, the back of the more water is inevitable, the network, funds, production is likely to be scattered because of the relationship between time, no animation can guarantee the long multi-quarter also as a day of high quality, so the third season there are many people said disappointed I actually understand, indeed the production, rhythm control have the feeling of overturning, in fact, I personally like the " Re: "Life in Another World from Scratch" also feels the same way, the second season is not as well made as the first season, and although the story is progressing, the rhythm control is no longer so brilliant... However, if you really like a work, you still have to support it continuously.
The production company is still MADHOUSE. It's a pity that the struggle of various forces should be the climax of this work, but whether the production power can keep up is difficult to say now.
