Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Anime Film Review

Sep 20, 15:00

1 comment

anime

There's a reason that this is one of the series' most popular arcs and the film captures the story's essence expertly—even if a bit too much was left on the cutting room floor. ― One of the most interesting choices that came from adapting Overlord IV is that the series skipped an entire arc—two entire light novels worth of story. This left an odd gap between episodes seven and eight of that series—wh...

Astro Note is yet another argument for bringing back longer anime seasons, instead of twelve episodes being the norm. ― If you're an English-speaking anime or manga fan of a certain age, there's a good chance that you got into the medium through the work of Rumiko Takahashi.
