Overlord Home-Video Release Announced
A decade after it debuted, Overlord is receiving one of its most significant home-video releases to date.
Details of the Release
Crunchyroll Store has announced steelbook Blu-ray editions for Seasons 1, 2, and 3. Fans can purchase each season separately or as a bundled set. The new releases arrive in stores on October 21.
Included Extras
Each edition includes the three Play Pleiades mini-anime shorts. Several episodes also feature both audio and video commentaries, a feature that has become increasingly uncommon but remains popular with viewers who enjoy behind-the-scenes insight.
Extras extend to a 2018 interview with Kugane Maruyama and Naoyuki Itou, plus a message from Minoru Ashina recorded at Anime Expo that same year.
Series Overview
For newcomers, Overlord blends isekai themes with MMORPG mechanics. The plot follows Momonga — voiced in Japanese by Satoshi Hino and in English by Christopher Guerrero — who becomes trapped inside the game Yggdrasil as its servers are shutting down. He must navigate a world at war while searching for a way back to his original life.
