The fact that Kugane Maruyama and so-bin’s Overlord received a second season at all was a huge deal, so fans had no idea that they would be getting a third season so soon after the ending of the second given the three year gap before.
But did the premiere of Overlord III live up to the hype? Fans are saying yes. In a season premiere that gets fans comfortable with this cast of characters again, everyone has a bit of a day off as new revelations about series favorites Ainz Ooal Gown, Albedo, and Shalltear were an absolute hit with fans.

Fans of the series already had a major crush on Albedo, but this episode resulted in some of the strongest feelings yet as Albedo is a lot…wilder than she usually is when in front of Ainz.
Read on to see what fans are saying about the Overlord season 3 premiere, and let us know what you thought in the comments!

The third season of the series was quickly confirmed after the end of the second season, and has already confirmed new characters and cast members,ย Takahiroย Sakuraiย asย Gilkunifย andย Takayaย Hashiย asย Fulder, as well. The series also held a special premiere of the first episode ofย Overlordย IIIย atย Animeย Expo 2018 July 5, with original light novel authorย Kuganeย Maruyamaย andย animeย series directorย Naoyukiย Ito in attendance.
For those unfamiliar withย Overlord, the series was first created byย Kuganeย Maruyamaย and illustrated by so-bin. The series is set in a Massive Online Role Playing game namedย Yggdrasil, as the game’s servers are going to be shut down after 12 years. One of the strongest guilds in the game,ย Ainzย Ooalย Gown, is now down to its last four members as they countdown the server’s final moments.
Theirย lichย leader,ย Momonga, decides to stay logged into the game as he sadly realizes the rest of the guild have real lives to live. He suddenly realizes, however, that he’s been transported to the world ofย Yggdrasilย and has taken on “Momonga’s” identity. Now the player travels through the world in search of anyone else who knows how he got trapped there.
The light novel series began serialization in 2010 with 12 volumes published since 2012. It was adapted into aย mangaย series byย Satoshiย Oshio, with illustrations byย Huginย Miyamaย and published inย Kadokawa’sย Shotenย magazine. It was licensed for an English language release by Yen Press, and adapted into a 13 episodeย animeย series by Madhouse and two films compiling the events of the series.
